Bella gasped in surprise as Nadia, lover of chaos, took a step back and left the traveling group. Surely they did not come so far only to listen to their stories. It looked like the man was equally confused as Bella. He was staring at them with narrowed eyes as Nadia stood up to leave the group.
Bella followed with quick steps.
"What was that?" she could not help but ask, "you were not here because you were feeling lonely. Were you?" Nadia looked at Bella with an amused laughter.
"You have grown up, Bella. If it had been before, you would not have dared to make fun of me." Nadia mused. But then her face went serious leaving Bella in confusion. "But did you notice anything strange there?"
Bella frowned. A group of travelers enjoying the warmth.
