The tent was finally setup like it was supposed to have shown in the instruction manual after they had worked on it for an hour straight.This was when adaline thought of something.

"Did you all notice something?" Emma said all of a sudden taking the girls attention.

​​

"What?" Abigail muttered glancing at her.

"Even while setting up the tent we did not have to use trigonometry. Hell, we did not even have to use anything remotely close to it."

Emma shrugged, "I don't know anything about that since I've been sleeping with my maths teacher and that has been truly helpful."

Wow, stared at her new friend with wide eyes at what she had just said. Emma on the other hand did not even look bothered enough to explain what she said.

"Can you do something for me?" Emma asked Adaline who was still in shock with what her friend had said earlier.

"Yeah? What is it?" Adeline said immediately. If it was something she could do that she would try her best to do it.

Emma bit her lip making Adaline frown a little. What was it that she was shying away from telling her?

"Um. . I had your conversation earlier and I was wondering if you could talk to Noah for me."

"Noah who?" Adeline tilted her head in pure confusion.

Emma eyes now turned to a glare. "You know which one!" She hissed. "Noah, Noah! The one on the trip!" She glared.

"Oh! No, I don't know him."

"Bitvh, please." Emma deadpanned but then her expressions softron and replaced almost of that of a pitiful puppy's. "Please help me out. I have been in a very bad relationship and I would love to have a little bit of distraction on this little trip that I am on."

Adeline didn't want to but she also knew that Noah was nothing to her and whatever they did was completely their own decisions.

She nodded, agreeing to her friend for the weekend. At least Noah won't be bothered with her.

********

The evening had fallen and so was the sun. Mr Mose along with a few locals and help us had arranged for a bonfire and a few chairs around it.

Adaline could not wait to get on one but there was something that was of more importance and had to be taken care of before it.

She eyed the boy that she had to talk to. He was standing alone and drinking a bottle of water which actually was the perfect opportunity or otherwise would always be surrounded by his friends.

She walked to him with hands joined in front. "Hey," she stopped a few inches away from him maintainimg respectful distance.

"He—oh." The turnaround to greet her but then blinked back in shock. "Hey, I was not expecting you to talk to me the entire trip."

She sucked her lower lip out of nervousness at that. She really had no plans to talk to him and she was not afraid to tell him about it.

"To be honest, I still don't want to." She shrugged. He wasn't a friend and he was not going to be one very soon. 'but I am here to talk for a friend."

"The blonde one?" He asked with an arched eyebrow. "I noticed her looking at me all day." He looked smug and she hated that.

Xavier was never smug. He was always polite.

She cleared her throat. "She knows that we were friends before and would you go and talk to her?" Despite the fact that she has started off the topic once Adeline realise that the sooner she finished talking to him the better it would be.

Arthur words he raised both of his eyebrows completely shocked. "We're friends?!" He whispered, "What did I do? If anything I made sure that you got out of the town safe and sound."

His words sparked a nerve in her. The fire that has extinguished a long time ago once again came to life.

"Really?" She glared with fire in her eyes. "Safe and sound? My father is dead and I am half what what I was earlier!"

"That was unexpecte—"

"No that was not unexpected!" She cut him off, "It was foolish. You did not suffer half of the damage that I did and let me tell you the damage I suffer is never going to be reversible!"

Breathing heavily she blinked back the tears that had come into her eyes and step away from him. This had been a bad idea to begin with and now she wanted nothing to do with Emma and Noah altogether.

She stormed into her own tent where Abigail already was and who did not even bother to glance at her.

Adeline lied down on her side on the ground and turned to face the tent itself. She was trying to control the tears but there was still managing to sleep away from her eyes. How could he say that he had done everything to make sure that they got out of the town safe and sound?

A father had died right before her eyes and she was bitten by a wolf twice which had even broken bones by the force of the bite.

Everything has gone wrong and he had the balls to say that it was was everything he did.

Instead she realised that she should have just thought it through. It would have been better.

"Hey," Abigail called her, "time for the bonfire, wanna come?'

Adaline nodded and sniffed. Then proceeded to wipe her tears and stood up to leave as well.

"Hang on," Abigail muttered and when to Adeline's side where her bags were kept and searched for something making Adeline frown.

"What are you looking for?" Adeline stepped closer as she asked Abigail what she was looking for.

"Found it!' Abigail and all of a sudden making adaline jump back in shock. She turn around and show the letter what it was.

It was the crescent moon pendant.

Adeline stare at the pendant in her hand as Abigail came closer and step behind her to make her wear it.

"It is a beautiful pendant and it would look more beautiful when someone like you wears is it."

"I can't. . ." The words left Adeline's mouth making Abigail smile.

"You know when I was some kind of trouble comes my dear I always think that no other one can ever topic but then the next one comes in and I have a similar thoughts for it too." She sighed and kissed Adeline's head. "You have to move on from the past and coming to the present if you want to live."

A pitiful whimper left Adeline's mouth "What if I don't want to?"

A pinch came to her cheek and she yelled out of pain.

"If you were not meant to be alive trust me you won't be and since you are," Abigail turn adaline around to face her, "Live it."

Taking a deep breath calm the windwhirl of emotions going on in her mind and Adeline nodded.

Maybe it was true. If she had to be there then she would have been dead By now but since she was alive she should use every opportunity to make sure that she did not make God regret letting her live.

They both moved out and tip seeds together in front of the bonfire where people had already started to sip and drink. Even though alcohol was not allowed Adeline was sure that someone must have found a way to sneak it around.

When she had first been made aware of the fact that she has had a miscarriage she was prohibited from having alcohol for 2-3 months straight but she had decided not to have it ever altogether.

It was too much for her to bear after losing the child and her father in one incident.

She sighed and heard the story of a boy.

"I can't believe it." The guy shook his head. He was telling the experience of racism that he had recently says by his own neighbour. "That woman has been living next to us for as long as I can remember and one day she comes up to me and is like you have drugs in your house and I'm sure about that unlimited you wanting all the guns that you have in your house as call the police and the coming right now to arrest you!"

"Holy shit," another guy Whistled, "and what happened next?"

The former guy shrugged. "The bitch had forgotten that my father was the the chief of police."

Everyone laughed at that heartily including Mr mos and Adaline. She was drinking coke but she was still not convinced that it was only that.

She watched around bonfire as different people were telling different stories and try to concentrate on one of them. Her mind was getting do here and her head bobbing up and down as she tried to keep herself a wait before she slipped into unconsciousness completely.
