Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Telling Her Story

Tessa slowly walked into the living room and sat in a reclining chair to thw right of the couch. Aiden watched her every move as she moved through the room.

"So do you think you feel well enough to tell me what happened? Or would you pike to get cleaned up and something to eat first?" Aiden asked as he watched he closely.

"I'd really like to get a shower, if thats okay? I have no clue how long I was walking through the woods. I don't even know what time it is." Tessa said. She looked at her savior wondering if she could really trust him. He seemed kind and like he just wants to help her, but she can't know who to trust right now.

"That's perfectly fine. I'll try to find some clothes for you. The bathroom is up the stairs and at the end of the hallway, only door in front of you. There are towels ans wash clothes in the cupboard. Please help yourself and I'll set some clothes out for you on the seat right outside of the door." Aiden did not want to scare her anymore than she already was. He has lived in this area his entire life and has heard what goes in in the nearby towns. Trying to even think what could have hapoened to her was impossible to him.

"Thank you so much, I won't be long" Tessa said she looked for the staircase clueless.

"The stairs are to the left of the front door. Sorry I'm not used to company."

Tessa walked down the small hallway and turned up the stairs. The entire house was wood, like a camping paradise. There were some pictures of his family on the walls lining the stairs. One of him and a girl about his aged wrestling in a yard, a picture of a man, a woman and two kids at a barbeque. It seemed he grew up with the life that Tessa had always wished for.

After finding the bathroom she retreived a washcloth and towel from the cupboard and started up the shower. As she washed and conditioner her hair she stared at the bright blue tile and slowly left her mind drift back to the events from the day...
