It is so peaceful here.”
Emily walked out and passed them going down the steps, “Let’s go ladies time’s awastin’ and I got baking to do!” They all laughed as they walked to the car.
“Hello Serena how have you been dear?” Jasmine asked as she opened the car door.
“Just fine AuntieAuntie Jasmine how is Uncle Frank?”
“Just fine dear, ornery as ever.” They laughed as Serena pulled away.
Daniela laid her head on the table her brain feeling like it was going to explode with all the information crammed into it. She raised her head to see Kyla looking at her with concern. Self-consciously jumping up from the table she announced, “I am going for a walk to clear my head.” and rushed out the door.
Hearing a conversation to her left, she turn right when she landed on the bottom step and ran into the forest running to get the anxiety out of her system. She was not sure how far she ran when she finally stopped completely out of breath. Leaning against a tree, she looked up through the branches at the sun twinkling methodically in the gentle wind. It was quiet, peaceful; the Katydids chirping in tune with the birds were the only sounds in the cool breeze.
Daniela walked over and slid down the tree closest to her, sitting in the cool green loam surrounding the tree. Everything that has happenedhappened to her in the last six months was catching up with her. She felt overcome with uncontrolled emotions. Frustrated tears flowed slowly down her cheeks, her emotional damn bursting, making small paths to her chin. She hoped moving here would be a new start for her, but she was slowly realizing things were not changing the way she thought they would. What is the point of planning when it never goes the way you want it too? She felt like a feather that had floated onto a whorl pool, lost and out of control. Her overwhelmingoverwhelming emotions breaking free she let the tears flow unheeded.

She could not trust, Garret made sure of that, but could she live alone, unloved? Suddenly a pain so severe ripped from her heart and spread to her chest, sucking the breath away from her lungs. The pain, emptiness threatening to implode her chest. She could not breathe her breath caught in her, her throat closed. Just the idea she could never love, never trust anyone to be loved, had her paralyzed with fear. A caress so soft hit her mind urging her to breath.
Jacob sat, then paced, then sat again in the main room at the pack house waiting. For what, he did not know. Suddenly he knew something was wrong with Daniela, he had an overpowering urgency to get to her now. She was in pain! “Breath,” he whispered, “I am here.” Looking around he saw James sitting by the big picture window staring out into space. Jacob, moving got up quietly turning to James as he stood, “Just going to the kitchen to get something to drink, want something?” He asked James innocently.
“Nah, go ahead, I’ll be right here. Hurry back though.” James requested.
“Yeah, No problem.” Jacob left the room and walked to the refrigerator incase James followed. Opened the door as if to look around listening for footsteps. Closing the refrigerator door, he opened a cabinet and closed it sharply. Darting to the back door he opened it quietly and changed as he leaped through, going out and across the grass as quickly as he could.
Derrick stormed into the cabin with his cell to his ear, “Damn it how long ago?” He pause, looking around the cabin then at Kyla. “Where is she?!” Kyla jumped up quickly meeting him half way to the door,
“She went for a walk. Why what’s wrong?”
“No, no we will take care of it at this end. Just make sure James understands I will take care of his lack of propriety when I get back.” He hung up the phone not
