Chapter 13: Hidden in the darkness

Previously:

Haden was acting so kind and romantic last night and I thought we had a moment. I guess not! But, now he's acting like a jackass. His moods has just changed overnight without any explanation. Why?

---------------------------
It glistens as it slowly makes it way down the sword that has risen from the concrete, small rocks surrounding it. I let another tear slip down as the rain hits the ground, more drops falling until the floor is covered in water and my cheeks are stained with the substance.

It is pouring outside, Haden has yet to return from wherever he wandered off to and I... I am an emotional wreck crying on a freezing stone bench over a guy I haven't even known a week. Don't feel sympathy for me and if you don't, you have the right mind. It was my stupid choice to fall for a no good Shaper who intrigued me with his charming yet irritable ways and devastating yet inspiring stories. It was my fault.
"GODSAKE!" I scream, my eyes widening as I release a reasonable amount of anger out in this one yell. I slam my hands down next to me repeatedly, letting out shrieks of anger as curses fall recklessly from my lips.

Minutes pass by and my breathing is steady, my hands red but my cheeks and eyes normal again. Without hesitation, I stand and storm off. I have a mission and he can help me but I dont need him. I begin my journey, walking in the deepest, darkest depths of the Kingdom, staying hidden in the shadows. I trace my hand against the roughed up, red and brown bricks, trying to make a mental map of where I am and where I'm going.
"This is so pointless." I whisper to myself, sinking against the wall, avoiding the daggers as I sit down.

My head falls lamely into my hands as I place them against my propped up knees. I dont cry, I refuse to, I simply just stay there curled up, begging that the ground will eventually swallow me up.
"Excuse me, miss." A timid, light voice says and I look up, my eyes meeting with green ones. A small smile graces my lips.
"Yes?" I ask quitely and the young girl walks forward until her bkdy is hovering over me.
"Are you Adeline Spring?" She asks and I bite my lip, pushing myself until I'm on my knees.
"Why?" I question cautiously.
"A boy your age, the name of Haden, he requested for you to be found once we'd rescued him." She states and I pounce up, my hazel eyes wide and sparkling.
"Is he hurt?" My voice comes out rushed and laced with panic despite my desperation for it to be filled with venom for this boy.
"You can see for yourself once we get there but we must travel unoticed, we don't want to get caught." She says, her voice dropping to a hushed almost  whisper. I nod and she smiles, grabbing my hand in hers as she guides me to the destination of Haden.

I hope he's alright even if I do think he's a jerk...
