Chapter. 7
Hut on the edge of the lake
heard the commotion caused by the shouts of Kiera and Adam, Aaegon and Bianca stopped their conversation and went to they both.
"Kiera, you have met Adam, he will be your friend to practice. Bianca, he's my best friend's son. Adam! Come here! Give greetings to Kiera's grandma."
No matter the chaos he saw in front of him, Aaegon called Adam who was still standing on the doorway. Then, he introduced everyone.
Meanwhile, unlike when facing Kiera. As soon as he heard Aaegon's words, Adam immediately approached Bianca. Adam bowed respect towards the woman in front of him.
"Hello, Granny. Welcome to the Red Land. I'll companion if grandma wants to look around." Adam said as he grabbed and kissed Bianca's hand.
Adam's friendly attitude made Kiera push her eyebrows. The girl looked to the right and left, to ensure that the young man in front of her was truly Adam, not the twin of him. Because since the first they met, Adam was cold, curt, and not welcome to her.
"Hahaha!"
Bianca laughter immediately. She was happy. She could see tranquility in Adam. The young man had the same aura as Aaegon, an aura possessed by a controller. Bianca feel relieved, it seems, Kiera has a reliable training friend. If things happen out of control, Adam might help Aaegon to reduce Kiera's strength.
"You are very kind, Adam. I was only briefly, drove Kiera. If Grandma come back here again, i will go up your promise. Thank you, but why is your clothes wet like that? "
" It's okay, Grandma. There was a wild cat crashing into the door," Adam said kindly, answering Bianca's question.
Meanwhile, Adam's eyes narrowedly towards Kiera, who could only stand resigned between Bianca and Aaegon. The girl was truly a bullie. Adam feels, his calm life in the Red Land, will end soon.
"Kiera, come along with Adam. He will take you to the rear cottage. Long years ago, your mother lived there. Maybe you will also like it." Aaegon said while turning to the golden-haired girl who replied to look in surprise at him.
"The rear cottage has been occupied by a mother? I thought it was the rear cottage," Kiera said as she pointed to the hut which where she was see earlier.
"It's not. It belongs to Adam, you can ask to him if the rear cottage is not suitable for you," Aaegon answered kindly.
"No, no! I would prefer to stay where my mother was ever." Kiera answered quickly.
With a little doubt, Kiera glanced at the tall young man in front of her who was waiting while on a headpiece. Their eyes met. Secretly, Kiera delivered an apologies without a words. Apparently, she had made a mess at Adam's place.
'Geez. Apparently, I had disturbed his personal territory too. It deserves to be annoyed. ' That girl with golden curly-haired, just can only say in her heart. Kiera realized, she had no right to be angry, though, she was indirect Adam called her a wild cat.
By feeling awkwardly within, Kiera followed Adam, that had begun to walk without saying anything to her.
"Hey! Sorry! I had accidentally shock. Both on the river or in your cottage." Kiera tried to follow Adam's steps. However, he was like not to hear Kiera's words.
They continued to walk quickly. It's been a hundred more steps they walk. However, there are no signs Adam will stop or respond to the existence of Kiera. Adam did not say any words even though only limited to ado. Kiera accelerates steps. Finally, that girl was annoyed too. 'How can it! A man is very angry like that?'. Again, the girl could only say to herself until she feel surprised. Since meet Adam, Kiera felt it was very much talking to herself, in her own heart.
"AAAW!"
Kiera shouted, her nose hit Adam's back loudly when the young man suddenly stopped, right in the turn of the path they were going through.
"Shit! Why, anyway, stop suddenly?" Asked Kiera while rubbing her painful nose. Her eyes glared at Adam.
"You're very noisy! My name is Adam! Not Hey! And I stopped because we arrived!" With no guilt, Adam looked at the nose of Kiera, that now looked red. Secretly, Adam grinned satisfied. At least, some of the feeling irritated to the girl was reciprocated.
"Have arrived? Where?" Kiera forgets the pain in her nose. Because of curious about, the girl looking around. She only looks trees that surround them both.
Adam pulled the girl's hand to stand next to him. Right on the left of the downward road, flanked by two oak trees that were rather leaning to the right and left, stood a small cottage which when looks from the place of Kiera stood at the time, its looks like floating in the middle of the lake that stretched below it.
Stunned, Kiera closed her mouth with her both hands. she rushed down the road downhill in front of her. The road is rather shocked. she didn't care about the leaves and dry branches sticking to her hair and clothes.
For a moment later, they arrived in front of the lodge which turned out to be next to the lake. Earlier, when viewed from above, the cottage looked like floating on the water. However, it turns out only half side of the cottage that rather protruding to the edge of the lake and all it does not reduce the beauty of the scenery around the cottage when viewed closely.
With heart pounding, Kiera opened the cottage door. The hut has been a place where her mom live in. Warm air hit Kiera's face. Kiera's forehead furrowed, there was no stuffy or moisture which was usually felt when entering a place that had long been abandoned.
Unlike Kiera's imagine. The unused cottage for sixteen more years, the place included was still strong and clean. Even though it's a little dusty. However, the spider's nest was not seen there.
"Aaegon and I never forget to clean this place." Adam said as he could read unspoken questions raging in the Kiera's heart.
"Thank you Adam." Kiera said sincerely. Her voice sounded choked. Wellness without being prevented approached the girl who never knew the figure of her mother. Here she is now. At the place where her mother used to spend the day, while she was young.
The small cottage was filled with simple bed and furnace. Another equipment that fills the cottage is only a rack, located on the side of the bed, it is possible to put thing belongings of her mother.
At the left of the bed, the wide window filled half of the wall. The girl opened it with curiosity. The window opened without any difficulties, it looks like Adam and Aaegon really took care of the cottage carefully.
