A LONE WOLF

Chapter 13

Adia couldn't believe her eyes. It wasn't possible. No way it could be. The woman stood standing in the kitchen facing adia. Adia didn't move she was in so much shock. "Who is this?" the woman asked Damian. "This is Adia mum" replied Damian. Thoughts began to spin around Adia's head. Mum..... it couldn't be....... its not possible. Adia finally came to her senses and ran out of the small cottage. "Adia!" Damian dropped the tea towel he was holding and ran after Adia. adia felt as though she was going to be sick. She had no idea how this could have happened. Her heart was racing out of her chest and she felt as though her breathing was getting harder and harder by the second. Adia stopped running when she was about fithteen feet away from the cottage. Damian managed to catch up with her. He slowly walked up behind her and stopped when he was about a foot away from her. He was breathing heavily from running after Adia. "You knew didn't you?" said Adia. Damian sighed and didn't say a word. A few awkard seconds passed before either of them Said anything else. "Why?" said Adia eventually. Adia slowly turned round to face Damain and took a few steps back when she did so. She looked him right in his large bright blue eyes. She stood looking at him for a few seconds. The longer she looked the more she could see Alden. But Damian didn't have green eyes like Adia and Alden and her dad. His eyes were bright blue. bluer than the sky on a sunny day blue. "i did know" said Damian, "id been looking for you the last few days" damian paused for a few seconds and looked into Adias eyes. Her eyes were watery and she felt as though she was going to cry. "i couldn't just leave my little sister out in the cold" said Damian. Adia is lost for words and she struggles to catch her breath. Tears began to stream down her face. "No, NO! ITS NOT POSSIBLE! Alden is my brother!" Adia began sobbing and fell to her knees. Damian stood looking as Adia not knowing what to do. Finally after a few seconds he knelt down and rapped an arm around her. He didn't say anything. Adia turned and hugged him tightly for a few seconds before pushing him away and getting up. Adia began pacing up and down the field. "No....No....It just can't be" Adia kept repeating herself over and over again. Although as much as she said it wasn't true she knew that it was. She had felt a strong connection to Damian the second she had meet him. Almost as though she already knew him and had seen him before. Adia's brother was standing right in front of her and it wasn't Alden. Damian was aslo her brother aswell.

In all the comotion adia hadn't noticed the woman getting out of the house and walking towards them. "Adia honey. i think we need to talk" said the woman in a calm soothing voice. Her voice seamed to calm adia right down right away. Adia ran up to the woman and flung her arms around her and hugged her as though it was the last ever hug she was getting to give to someone. The woman hugged adia back and rubbed the back of her head while adia cried onto her shoulder. Then the woman put her hands onto adias shoulders and moved her away so she could see her face. Adias eyes were read and puffy from crying. A few tears began to run down the womans face. "My little girl, your so grown up" said the woman. Adia knew that the woman standing in front of her was her mum. There was no doubt about it. She looked alot like adia just with blonde hair and blue eyes. Other than that she looked alot like her. "i missed you mum" said Adia.  Adia's mum smiled and replied, "i missed you to". Adia began to shiver from the cold as she started to come back to her senses. "come on" said adias mum as she started to walk back to the cottage. Adia followed with questions wizzing about in her mind. All this time her mother had just been living on the other side of the forest. She was never that far away from her. Adia had always asumed that her mum had moved to another country but she didn't. She just moved a few miles away. 

Adia, Damian and Adia's mum all got back to the cottage. As they walked in Damian walked in last rubbing his hands together fast to warm them up. "i'll put the fire on" said Damian kicking his shoes off at the door. Adia walked into the living room and fell back onto the couch and sinked into the pillows. A few feet in front of her Damian was kneeling down snapping bits of wood and throwing them into the fire along with old news papers that he ripped up and crumpled into balls. There was only one light on in the living room and it was a small table lamp on the far left side of the room next to the rocking chair. There was no TV in the living room which was unusal for adia because in the big house there was basically one in every room. Adia turned her head and she could see her mum standing in the kitchen at the stove making something. The kitchen light was dim and along with the fire gave the cottage a orangey look and it was very cosy. Adia noticed the room getting slightly darker. Ladia walked into the living room with three cups of hot chocolate and placed two of them on the low down wooden table in front of Adia and took the other over to the table next to the rocking chair and placed it down. Ladia sat down on the rocking chair and it slowly moved back and forward as she did so. Damian got up from sitting on the floor in front of the fire and sat on the couch that was next to the one adia was sitting on and he kicked his feet up and placed them near the edge of the table. Adia took a sip of her hot chocolate and realised how much her life has changed. Never in a million year had she ever amagined she would ever see her mum, never mind mind out she had another brother. Adia was so greatfull and happy as she sat on the couch sipping her hot chocolate. No one really said anything. All you could hear was the crackling of the fire and the sound of Ladia's knitting needles hit off each other along with the slight creaking of the rocking chair as it rocked back and forward. It was at that moment Adia realised that her life wasn't at its end like she thought it was, it was only at the very begining. She was stepping into a brand new chapter in her life. One which she had no idea how its going to pan out but she didn't care. Her dream she wished for, for was long as she could remember was sitting a few feet away from her knitting in a rocking chair softly humming.
