Wild Space

♥43♥

Sitting in my room didn't feel safe because of the technical prying eyes, so I walked out to the balcony and closed the sliding door after locking up my room. I carefully checked everywhere for a possible big camera head but found nothing. However, I am sure there is one; might be minuscule. Tom and Sam are big heads for trending technologies; thus, I am sure there is one. Thus, I sat in the far corner and took out... hopefully, the last clue from them. I knew it was not the last one but I can certainly hope so.

I slowly tore the envelope and realized the letter seemed new. Why was that?

That sparked a fire in me. Was she close to me?

The faint fragrance and crispness of the paper tipped me off with the hope that it is new. It might be my imagination but somehow I am going to believe it as that. However, the fruity fragrance was nowhere familiar to me. I never pictured her as a woman that might wear flowy dresses, squirting fragrances, walking around with painted face and meticulous hairstyles.

I inhaled the fruity scent and looked into the beautiful cloudless sky wondering what would have been my life in this meticulous household if nothing of this sort had happened. It seems like I have jumped into a stupid mystery novel.

Sighing once again, I opened the three-fold envelope and started reading. As usual, it started with the daring endearment.

Dearest darling daughter,

I know you still have so many questions though I tried to give you a roundabout detailing in my first five clue letters. Now, if you are reading this, I assume you are quite clever as I expected and that you are near to the destination, although; from now on I should warn you.

Since you are back home and retrieved this; word will spread fast like wildfire into the hounds of hell that Lillian is close to revealing the treasure.

Though I hate myself for saying this, you are better safe with Tom and Sam right now. I have no idea if Simon and Stephen will help you but dare you never get close to them. They have the streaks of their father in them.

Now that you have received this letter, I will tell you something.

First, the thing you are going to retrieve is in a very dangerous location. It's not safe, yet you can be saved if you are little too fast in your legs. Second, the Hawks will surround you, please be armed as heavily as you can and I am sure your hands are sturdy enough to fight since I know Tom might not leave you lethargic fearing my wrath.

Thirdly, be careful not to rush in.

Fourthly, make yourself busy as you can fool the people around you but take as much time as possible by stalling yourself to receive the treasure. You will know why, once you reach there if my timing is right. There is a secret in this saying thus please heed my warning.

P.S never believe everything Tom says. He still is the reason why we are hanging on the cliff.

P.P.S look into the wide fence where rose and jasmine rule; for underneath the eight stick and the fourth knot will be a surprise which you may only get.

Your mom, hopefully, we will meet soon,

Love Eva...

And the letter ends there. For me, the first P.S looks like a clue. Because it's my mom we are talking about. But, the second one seems like the actual clue. Anyhow, this was getting really frustrating to be very honest. However, I really wanted to go dig some bones now.
