Chapter 146
Aaliyah
As I began towards the living room, I spotted Hayley walking upstairs and I hurried to her.
"Hayley," I said, catching my breath.
She turned around, looking at me with surprise.
"Kieran is asleep in his room," she said, as if thinking I approached her because of him.
"I'm not here because of him," I said.
"Why are you here?"
Upon noticing that there were some Elders downstairs looking at me, I nudged my head forward, telling her that we should keep walking. We continued walking until we found our way to the attic, and I paused to look around.
There were boxes and trunks there. Some had collected dust on them, as if it had been a long time since someone visited here.
I turned to Hayley to see that she was holding a small rag.
"These are where we keep most of the historical stuff that no longer has a place in the library," she said. "Some of these things here belonged to my mother."
