Chapter 16
Lying down on my bed I shivered feeling cold. I got up from my bed and switched off the A.C. I went
back to the bed and jumped on it. The bed making a squeaking sound due to my weight.
I flipped on my belly and closed my eyes. I don’t know for how many minutes I closed my eyes, but
soon I found myself in deep sleep.
Suddenly I found myself somewhere.
Woods?
What am I doing here?
I looked around to my surrounding and found many trees, shrubs, grasses. Furrowing my eyebrows I
thought to walk into the woods. So, I walked into the woods. Everything seemed so blurry. I looked
back and saw the ce where I walked few minutes ago beginning to turn into water.
“What the?” I muttered not believing my eyes.
I turned around and started to run. I began to run, run and run. My legs began to hurt from running, still
I didn’t stop. I ran with all my force.
I could hear water in form of wavesing after me. So unreal.
Not paying attention to it, I kept on running wanting to get away. I began to slow down at some extent
when I heard a voice. I was panting badly. Sweats were forming on my forehead and I heaved a sigh.
Taking a deep breathe, I looked back and found that there was no longer water or waves but only
woods. I exhaled a breathe keeping a hand on my chest to calm my heart.
“Adieee” I heard a familiar voice calling me. Very familiar. My heart beat rose and my eyes widened
hearing the voice.
“N-Nancy?” I spoke slowly not able to believe it.
I looked around. My eyes searching for the source of the voice. I looked everywhere and began to run
everywhere in the woods.
“Adie” she called again and this time giggling.
“Nancy?” I called tears flowing down my cheeks.
“Nancy is that you? Where are you?” I shouted hoping for her to reply.
When nobody replied I began to run here and there searching everywhere.
“Adie” a voice called from behind me.
I stopped in my tracks and slowly turned around. My eyes widened seeing her. She wore her pink frock
and Ballerinas. Her favorite bow band in her hair. She stood few steps away from me smiling at me.
“Adie” she beamed running towards me.
I smiled as the tears continuously fell down my cheeks and I ran to her and cradled her into my arms
hugging her with all my love.
“Nancy” I whispered near her ear.
“Adie where were you? I missed you” she told me with her cute childlike voice.
“I miss you too love. I miss you too” I cried hugging her more tight.
She let me go and I loosened my hold on her for a little bit to see her face.
“You look different” she murmured.
I chuckled a little and kissed her palms.
“That’s because I’m 22 now. I am no longer 18” I told her and noticed as her face turned into a sad one.
“But I am still five” she murmured and began to walk back.
“Nancy where are you going? Wait!” I tried to touch her but my eyes widened when my fingers couldn’t
touch her.
“I am still five” she whispered as she backed away.
“Nancy please” I called her crying a little.
“I am still five Adie” she whispered with sad eyes and turned on her back and began to run.
“Nancy” I cried calling her and ran after her.
She ran deep into the woods and didn’t even look back. I ran after her but it was being impossible for
me to follow her. The scenery before me began to fade as I began to feel suffocated. I lost her from
sight and I began to cry calling her name.
“What is going on?” I cried racking a hand into my hair.
Suddenly I heard another voice and my eyes widened hearing those voices.
“Aderyn” they called.
“Princess?” they called again when I didn’t turn around. My heart beat rose again hearing their voice
after along time.

I slowly turned around and gasped seeing them after a long time.
“Aderyn sweetheart” my mom called me smiling at me.
“My princess” Dad smiled keeping his hand around my mom’s waist.
I couldn’t believe my own eyes. They were looking so happy. They were smiling at me. My mom was
wearing her Floral Sundress and a white shrug above it. My Dad was wearing his ck Jeans with his
Brown Shirt.
“Princess you are looking so beautiful” my Dad spoke his eyes getting watery.
“D-Dad? M-Mo- Mom?” I couldn’t believe my eyes. Tears began to blind me and wiped them away with
the back of hand quickly.
“Honey she is so grown up now. She looks like you” my mom spoke as tears fell down her cheeks as
well.
“Yes. She is my princess” My Dad spoke cing a kiss on her head.
“I miss you princess” my Dad spoke smiling at me.
“We miss you darling” my mom spoke and I heard a giggle.
Nancy came running towards them from the woods. My Dad cradled her into his arms and mom smiled
kissing her cheek.
“Mommy look she looks different now. But why?” Nancy whined looking at me.
“Because Darling she is grown up now. She is a grown updy now” my mom spoke dreamily smiling
at me.
“Mom, Dad, Nancy” I cried as I took a step towards them.
“No matter how grown up you are, you will still remain our baby girl Aderyn and we want you to
remember that” my mom spoke and tears again started to blind me.
“Yes and remember what I taught you princess? Be strong. You are my daughter. Promise me you will
remain strong and fight for your right” my Dad spoke waiting for me to reply.
“I p-promise” I replied while crying.
“We are so proud of you darling” my mom spoke as she hugged Dad and Nancy.
“I love you” I whispered and took another step towards them.
“We love you too” they said in chorus.
Iughed a little wiping my tears. I took another step towards them but stopped when I heard another
voice speak “Aderyn”.
I could feel my heart beating wildly against my rib cage hearing that voice.
I watched as three of them looked towards my left, their expression changed.
Slowly turning towards my left I found the person to be my elder brother Ryan.
“R-Ryan?” I whispered.
“Aderyn” he spoke and took a step towards me.
“Remember you promise baby girl” I heard my father speak to me. I turned towards them to see them
fading away.
“No! Wait! Dad..Mom..Nancy. Please don’t go wait!” I cried running towards them.
“Always remember your promise Princess” Dad spoke as he hugged mom and Nancy tightly fading
away with them.
“Dad.. mom” I cried running towards them.
“You will always remain our princess” my mom spoke as tears fell down from her cheeks and she
smiled at me sadly.
I couldn’t teach them in time as theypletely faded away into thin air leaving me alone and cold. But
their voice echoed from the woods as together they spoke “Always”.
“Pleasee back” I cried as I fell down on my knees crying and sobbing as loud as I could.
I looked back and found no one. Ryan wasn’t their any longer which made me cry more. I fell on my
side on the grass crying more. I hugged my knees and sobbed loudly unable to control myself.
“Pleasee back” I whispered with hoarse voice.
I was crying very hard when I heard a twig snapped. Immediately I sat on the grass and wiped away
my tears using my hand.
“Dad?” I called with hope in my voice.
“Mom?” I called again when no one replied.
“Nancy is that you?” I called hoping someone to answer me.
I waited and finally I heard someone growling. For the umpteenth time of the day, my heart beat rose
but not in fear. From the woods, emerged a shadow which formed a figure of a wolf walking gracefully
and slowly towards me.
Aplete ck wolf and bigger the size of a normal wolf. The wolf has a white tattoo diamond like
structure on its forehead and it’s eyes wear forest green. I found the eyes look very familiar and I began
to crawl backwards feeling little scared.
As if sensing my fear, the wolf stopped growling and stood dead on its track.
“Go away” I muttered which led the wolf to growl.
I crawled back more and found the wolf slowly advancing me.
It took slow steps and finally reached me. I was shivering now with fear seeing therge wolf. I closed
my eyes thinking that it possibly will bite me now but when it didn’t do anything I opened my slowly only
to look directly into its eyes.
It was standing only an inch away from my face and staring deeply into my eyes. I felt calm only by
staring into its eyes.
Slowly, I tried to touch it’s face but it stepped back away from my hold.
“Wait!” I whispered my voice hoarse.
Tears began to slide down my cheeks and the wolf began to howl seeing me cry. It was like as if it felt
pain for me. It didn’t like seeing me cry.
Sensing it, I wiped my tears with the back of my hand. The wolf stopped howling and again walked
towards me. It came near me and fell on the ground before me.
I tried to touch it but stopped when it kept it’s head in myp. I touched its head and slowly began to
care its hair.
It was so soft. I trailed my finger on the tattoo on its forehead. The wolf closed its eye and wiggled its
tail a little when I did so.
I smiled a little and using both of my hands, I patted its neck and back.
I was so lost with it that Ipletely forgot about my family. The pain was long gone and the only thing
which brought me peace was therge wolf who wasying before me with it’s head on myp.
I closed my eyespletely finding myself in bliss.
When I opened my eyes, I blinked it few times letting it adjust with the light. I groaned a little and found
myself in my bed.
Sitting on my bed I checked the time and wiped the sleep away from my eyes.
“A dream?” I whispered to myself when I recognized that I just saw a dream.
“A Wolf?” I asked myself remembering some parts of my dream.
A small smile appeared on my lips as I touched my family frame.
“I miss you all” I whispered feeling little happy for uncertain reasons.
