The Crows.

Chapter Sixteen - New Life.

Darla’s P.O.V.

A month later...

I placed the plates on the table and walked back into the kitchen...

Since leaving the crows, I had gotten myself a lovely little house in a small town and gotten a job in a nearby cafe, the people here were all very friendly and easy to talk to.

" Darla ?" I heard the owner Agnes say.

“ Yes.” I replied walking to her.

 “ Could you please take these to table five.” She said as she handed me a tray of drinks.

“ Sure.” I held the tray and walked out into the café, I carefully gave each person their drink then I went back to collect the next tray.

A few hours later…..

“ Thank you , please visit again.” I said as the last of the customers walked out of the café , I locked  the door and sighed.

“Darla, thank you my dear for your hard work.” Agnes said softly as she smiled then she handed me an envelope.

“ What is this?” I asked as I took it frowning at her.

“ Just think of it as a thank you.” She said still smiling.

I opened it and saw there was some money in it.

“ I can’t accept this, you already pay me enough.” I replied as I held the envelope out to her.

“ My dear , just take it.” She said then I watched as she walked away.

I smiled and went to get my belongs then I walked out onto the street, I shoved my hands into my coat pockets as I walked down the road.

I unlocked the door and walked in, taking my coat off and hanging  it on the coat rack. I smiled as I look around.

“Home sweet home.” I mumbled as I place my bag on the dining table , I sat down and roll my sleeve up to look at the mark on my arm, I ran my hand across it sighing …. Then I heard beeping , frowning I got up and got my phone.

“ Hello ?” I questioned.

“ Hey Darla , it’s Brogan….. The girls and I are having a get together and was wondering if you would like to join us.” A feminine voice replied.

“ Hi Brogan and sure okay ….sounds fun….where and when ?” I replied smiling slightly.

“It’s at my house……you know where that is right and I told Eva about seven.” She replied.

“ Okay…..will see you then ……Okay Bye.” I said as I ended the call.

Brogan is a nice girl , she is a year young then me…. Her hair is long and blonde , her eyes blue …….she is slim and petite, she hangs around three girls …Eva (Eveleen) who looked almost identical to brogan expect for the fact that she has ginger hair instead blonde….. There is also the twins Nora and Lacey … they are identical  both have short brown hair , with brown eyes that seem to glow and they both are quite tall and slim. All three are the same age as Brogan, placing my phone on the table , I walked upstairs to get ready for my night out.

A few minutes later…

I walked down stairs , wearing a cream shirt with lace flowers twisting up the left hand side and a pair of formal black trousers and black heels , walking past the table I grabbed my phone and went to get my coat and bag…..then I walked out into the street……

Damiens P.O.V

I sat on my bed staring at the note that she had left…suddenly there was a timid knock on the door.

“ Come in.” I said looking at the door as two men walked in “ Anything ?”

“ No , sorry Damien ….. we can’t seem to find her.” The one said frowning.

“ Well….keep searching…..I want you to find her.” I said frowning at them.

“ Okay.” They both replied then they left.

Huffing I stud up and looked at the note again , then I walked out to go and find my father.

I walked into his office to see him frowning at his computer screen.

“ Father.” I said watching him.

“ Damien ?” He said then his face softened.

“ Father , I am going out to find Darla…..I need to bring her home.” I said looking at him.

“ Okay…but please be careful.” He said then I nodded and  left quickly.

“ Damien ?” I heard someone say as I shrugged my coat on, I turned to see May standing here looking worried.

“ May ?” I asked.

“ Bring her back…..Bring her home.” She whispered , I smiled as I walked over to her to give her a hug.

“ I won’t rest until she is home again.” I replied as I tightened my grip on her slightly then I let go of her and walked out of the door, I walked over to a waiting car. I quickly got in and glanced at the house as  the car drove away , they were all counting on me to bring Darla home. I sighed as I closed my eyes.

“ Why did you have to go.” I whispered to myself as I thought of Darla.

A few minutes later…

“ Sir ?” I heard a voice say as I opened my eyes, I glanced out my window to see we are in a small town.

“Thank you.” I said as I got out the car “You are free to return back to the house.”

The driver nodded then pulled away, I stud there and watched as the car drove away leaving me totally alone, I pulled the note out from my pocket and looked at it then with a sigh I placed it back in the pocket and turned to look around.

“ Let the search begin.” I whispered as I made my way down the road towards a small café.
