Second Chance

Chapter Two - Fresh Start

"What you need," Ari said in the car ride back to her home, "Is a fresh start."

Molly tilted her head at her friend, She'd been staying with them for about two months now, and although Molly offered to leave, Ari insisted she stay. Her and Jacks divorce had been finalized over a month ago, and was sent a large sum of cash from Jack to keep the law pacifired. She had been struggiling for awhile with her sudden divorce and seperation from everything she knew. Though her friend Ari was there for her, she was having trouble staying so close to Jack in the town they lived in. 

"Listen, Nathan has this rental property out in Nowhere Wisconsin. It's this town in a secluded area, where nature and wilderness thrives." She placed a reasuring hand on Molly's shoulder, "I think you could use that rental property to get your life back. Start fresh you know?" Molly knew her friend was only trying to help her, and figures thats how she ended up saying yes to her friends offer, and with in the week she was moving down to Nowhere Wisconsin.

The Drive was long, but the silence was something she welcomed. In less then half an hour she would be at the comfy cabin out at the lake. Aparently it belonged to Nathans parents, and when he and Ari married was given to them as a wedding present. Seeing as they haden't used it in years it was offered to Molly as a living arangment for the time being. Ari even told here that there was another cabin close by, and if she needed help just to go there.

In the week before she'd come down Nathan had spent that time fixing the place up to make sure it was in living condition for when she came down. As she pulled into the drive way she couldn't help but take in the comferting scene around the cabin. The lake was so close she could see that their was a doc attached to the back of the cabin, a faded and rusty looking canoe attached to the left side on the second to last post. She wondered if Nathan tested it out, or just left it be, ether way Molly figured she'd stear clear of it for awhile, no sence in getting stranded in the middle of a lake. 

Smelling a slight ashy smell carried in by the brezze she turned to her right, and noted in the far distance she could make out a small glow of light. This must of been the neighbor she'd heard about. Molly felt her pant pocket begin to vibrate, and reached into the pocket of her fadded blue jean to see a text from Ari.

'Hey hon. Call me as soon as you reach the Cabin to let me know you made it in okay. Remember I will call the local police if I don't hear from you.' Molly smiled. Ari always said a call was better than a text. Anyone can text a phone, she'd say, but only I can confirm its me talking. Molly reached into her pocket again and pulled out the small key to the door. She walked up the stone path and reached the door. She could smell the fresh paint still lingering on the outside of the cabin. As she opened the door she was greated by the sight of a recently furnished home. The walls were also painted a creamy white color that brought out the dark oak of the furniture. Ari really had gone all out, and with a shake of her head she walked out of the entrance way, and into the living room. It was big, with the kitchen to the left a breakfast bar seperating the two rooms. The grante counters glisening in the sun. The open concept made the cabin seem homey and warm. Two doors caught her eyes, one the master, where she would be staying, and the other a spare, for friends and vistors, she'd guessed. Both had their own bathroom, only the mater had a jet tub and seperate shower. She was a little excited about the jet tub, but continued into the master room. 

The master bedroom was absolutly beautiful, and definatly theamed for her. a soft blue color was placed on the walls, with warm oaky furnature to accent. the bed was decorated in cream and blue colors with a pop of green to bring out all the natural colors of the room. This is where she would be staying for awhile, and she definatly could get used to this. As she exited the room to retreive her bags, she heard the faint sound of a howl in the distance. looking behind her she saw that the sun had finaly set. Hurrying Molly retrived her items and set them in her room. Placing the key on her key ring she shoved the keys in her pocket and looked for a phone and phone book. Ari had said that only one place will diliver food to her, and that it was pretty decent food. Knowing Ari as a picky eater, if she can compliment a meal, than it had to be good.
