Chapter 30: Clear Misunderstanding
"What are you thinking about?" Aditya asked when he saw Madeline lost in her thoughts, and she shook her head.
What was she thinking about? How should she put it? Madeline bit her lower lip before sighing loudly.
"It’s nothing. I was just wondering about the voting poll. It’s bothersome," Madeline said, and Aditya hummed.
"Right. I don’t see the reason behind this fuss," Aditya said, and Madeline looked at him before humming.
It was unforgettable. The vibes she got today when Elliana stepped closer to her, even if it was just for a few seconds, weren’t something she was used to seeing on her. It was as if Elliana wasn’t the same person anymore.
It felt powerful and sinister. More than that, it was so cold that she had actually felt shivers run down her spine. The way Elliana looked back at her, it was as if she didn’t need anyone’s help to destroy whatever would bother her. This wasn’t the first time she felt these vibes from Elliana.
It was the same when she had exited that torture room they had thrown her in to punish her. And then one time when she was bad-mouthing her biological mom, and Elliana had lost her temper? Though the occurrences were very low, they were there, and every time they appeared, they left her sickening mad.
There were many times when Madeline had felt Elliana wasn’t normal, and probably that was the major reason she always felt inferior to her, and the urge to show her place was so prominent that - Madeline put a hold on her thoughts.
Wait. Was she seriously thinking about Elliana as a strong girl? Damn, she is the same girl who had rubbed her nose on her heels to protect herself. Madeline scoffed in her mind, shaking her head at herself.
Meanwhile, Elliana walked further into the forest before sitting on a random large rock.
She took out her phone and looked at the only saved number. It belonged to Mr. Marino. With a deep sigh, she looked ahead, unsure what to feel. There was this weird emptiness in her heart right now, and it made her feel lonely. She felt lost and didn’t know who to talk to.
