I woke up with a smile on my face after a long time.I got slightly shocked because of my surroundings but then last night memories flooded.

"Good Morning kid," he turned while managing ropes.
"Morning " I smiled at him
"We will land soon" he looks at me when I don't respond and then noticed I Am looking at the sunrise
"I will never forget all those memories I Am spending with you," I spoke without diverting my eyes

After some time we landed.i was gathering my bag when i felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned and find Ansel.

"Whenever you felt lonely and sad you can come here or give me a call " he hesitated
"Long live Ansel," i say while kneeling on the ground like a drama queen
"Get up kid.people are noticing," he rolled his eyes while giving me hand.i took his hand.

i stretched my body while walking toward the exit.

i observed him fidgeting with the ring in his hand.
"Ansel you can ask me with no hesitation."

"if you are comfortable, can we meet more often," he was nervous" it's okay if you don't want to. I am just a lonely old man"

"I love your company too and it is yes we can meet ,"I chirped

"So where are  you staying ?"

"at a hotel in the city"

"do you have a ride?"

"no, but I Can order cab"

"why not  you come to my place in the bayou and then I drop you in the city.it won't take that much time come," he offered

We headed to a truck in a parking lot. As we settled in it

"Ansel how long you are here in New Orleans?" I asked with curiosity

"not long. i usually travelled a lot. Well where are you from a child?" still paying attention

"India "

"so here for sight sighting"

"no and don't laugh" but then he smiled more

"I try."

"I Can see you succeeding," he chuckles

"I try not to by heart and soul" he stated while being dramatically serious

The ride seems to an end.

"We need to walk from here"
I hopped out of the truck.
He was walking ahead.
"It won't take long but be careful with your feet"
Well, he was right because last night we lost our shoes. after giving my foot mud therapy .finally, we reach an old house, that seems abandoned by someone for a long time.

"Come in " he invited me
"Thank you"
"Make yourself comfortable i get you some footwear "
There was a small kitchen to my left and at right there was a living room with a couch and some old unfurnished furniture with few boxes on the top of it.
"I know it is not that big house you see in the city but i don't feel like having one" he was shuffling in some other room.
"Here i only got these for you" he handed me a pair of slippers.
"It will work out till i reach the hotel"

There was a knock on a door. he opens the door and there was a man standing.
"Ansel we need to talk" he then noticed me and halted
Ansel turned to me
"Ansel i need to freshen up where is the bathroom" i tried to excuse myself
"Straight to the end then left for the bathroom "I nodded and left

finn

I have been checking my phone for a call or a text. I know I should keep my anger in check but she needs to understand New Orleans is no place for the gateway .not mention that little witch is missing.I entered the greenhouse

 " Considering your sole task was keeping track of a teenager, you might want to draw a little less attention to your absolute failure to do so." i taunt

" Oh, you're one to talk about failure! Have you got that human girl to bare her soul to you, yet? Or are you too busy playing captain to a pack of mangy dogs to have any success as a fake headshrinker?" he spoke sarcastically.

" You know what your problem is?"

"Oh, I would love to listen--"he provoked

"Boys." mother spoke frustratedly

we turned our attention to mother

"Now, if I'm right, Davina has the white oak stake. Find the girl, Kol, and get it back." and then he left. 

I again check my phone without mother's presence and no response from her

.i text her"at least text you are fine" and press send.

Zoya

I heard "thud".they might be talking outside.

It took me 10 minutes to wash my face and legs due to walking in the swamp.
Then i find a mouthwash in my bag well i don't use it just as mouthwash .i slightly use that with water and spray it on my hairs to make myself smell fresh around people.i need a bath but i prefer at my own bathroom.

On entering the living room there was the same guy and Ansel.i halted in my steps.
" Zoya come. This young boy is Jackson and Jackson she is Zoya a very sweet child"
"It is a pleasure meeting you" i greeted him with a handshake
"Same here" he accepted
