《A Fool's Wish》Chapter 3 Page 6 - Move Away

“So... what’s your plan? What do we do now?” Adara asked.
“Move away. We’re going to move away from here” Akilah answered nonchalantly.
“We're going to move away...Why?” Adara asked puzzled.
“Well, there’s several reasons” Akilah said and held up her hand in a fist, raising one finger at a time “Firstly we know he's going to come here so we need to go away.”
She raised her second finger “Secondly my appearance has changed and I'll get noticed. Granted I'm I can to wear an eyepatch, but I'm afraid that'll just attract more attention here”
She raised another finger “Thirdly, I now have the power to give us the peaceful and safe life we always dreamed of”
“But how do you plan on doing that, we have nothing and nobody...” Adara said with sadness in her voice.
Akilah nodded “Well I traveled back six years” Akilah said while looking down at herself and then at Adara “So, I assume that I'm eleven and you're fourteen, right?”
“Yes..” Adara answered while nodding.
“Which means that it's been four years since our parents passed away and about half a year since granny died...Right?”
“Yes..” Adara answered with a quivering voice.
Akilah could hear the sorrow in her voice. Akilah had already healed and gotten past grandma Imala's death several years ago, but she could see that the pain was still fresh for Adara. Akilah sat down next to her and began talking.
“I know this must all seem crazy and you might not be feeling keen on moving away from here so soon, but I need you to trust me.”
Akilah looked at Adara with pleading eyes. Adara sighed and move over her gaze over to the bird, that she had now put down on their dining table. After a moment of silence Adara looked back at Akilah carefully and asked.

“Do you have a plan Aki?”
Akilah smiled at her with excitement.
“Yes, we need to pack all our belongings and move away from here, as far away from the kingdom as possible. I can use magic to build us a new house and I'll even put up a force field to protect and hide our new home”
Akilah eagerly looked at Adara hoping she would share the same excitement. However, Adara still looked indifferent to the whole situation.
“Listen…I know this is all too much and you're in shock. It's information overload and you can't think through everything properly right now. I'm not expecting you to do that. I'm just telling you about my plans, we don't need to go through with all of this immediately...I just want you to know that this is my plan for us, to keep us safe.”
Adara looked over at Akilah with the same indifferent look in her eyes.
“Is there another plan besides uprooting everything and moving away?” she asked.
“No I'm sorry...I've looked through all the possible options and this is the best course of action for us.” Akilah answered
Akilah clasped Adara's hands and locking eyes with her “We don't need to do this today, tomorrow, this week or even this month. You can take your time.” she told her.
Adara glanced at the bird and then looked back at Akilah.
“How much time do we have, realistically?” she asked.
Akilah smiled faintly “About five years or so” and laughed.
“Five years?” Adara almost yelled out.
“Yup” Akilah said with a smile “You think you can work with that?”
"Yes, Aki that’s plenty of time” Adara said while smiling back at Akilah looking visibly relieved “I can definitely work with that”.
