ENTANGLED STRINGS OF PAST

CHAPTER SEVEN

AIDEN WILLIAMSON

It's been more than a couple of hours since I talk to Hazel, but her words were still ringing through my mind the rage in her beautiful eyes was kind of haunting me now. If a stare could kill a person then I would be six feet under The ground till now. I like her sarcastic and fearless thoughts but something that bothered me more was the hidden feelings behind them, the broken emotions she was trying to hide but failed because her words can lie but unfortunately, her eyes can't.
I was thinking all about this then Terry enter the office, "so you are keeping her here?" he asked "Yeah I think so", I answer unsure cause I don't know either."Does she agree?" "Not yet but she'll eventually," I told him confidently.
Terry was asking questions sadly with a worried expression, but I wasn't sure for whom he was worried. I ask him directly "Why are you appearing worried buddy?"
"It is not.. serious but...do you think it will work? I mean is she perfect for the mission?" He paused for a minute then finally said " I am worried about you Aiden, I have watched you working hell hard for 12 years only for this mission. I know how important it is for you and now when we are so close to it, we can't afford any mistakes. I can't see you fail" I was all silent when he was talking I can feel his concern for me, which was right. I had worked hard making me more and more strong and better for this mission. The rage burning inside me never let me quit.
" Your worries are right Terry, we have come soo far now and it is stupid to take risks now but still I think it will work our plan. It has to work," I assured him or maybe assured myself.
"Did you find anything about her?" I asked him to change the topic. "Yup, but strangely there are no traces of her on the internet. Like she never existed on it. I tried to find something bout her in Boston but no she is not from Boston" he told me with a suspicious expression. But I was more surprised than suspicious.
She ran away from her house so maybe she was hiding from someone, but who. She was becoming a more and more complicated puzzle now.
"Do you know her last name? If we get it will be more easier to find out who she is .." he asked me. " Her last name" I repeated, I remembered her diary. I quickly open the drawer and started flipping the pages of her diary. "No, it's not even in her diary," I told him sadly.
"Don't worry, I will look into it more" he assured me.
"I have heard that you are going to train her.." he said while lifting one eyebrow. " Well you heard it right then," I told him with a smirk on my lips. " I'll start her training within 2 days" I explained to him how will I train her with freshers. "Do you think she'll cope with your training?" He asked "She will, " I said confidently.
"If you are keeping her here then you should buy her some clothes and other stuff too," he told me while going out of the office making me realize that she didn't even have clothes here. How can I forget about it?
I spent some more hours thinking about what I should buy for her and I failed I couldn't even think of anything. So I finally decided to take her shopping tomorrow. It will be full of risk as she'll will surely try to run but we will take care of that.
It was dinner time now, and I was really hungry. I went downstairs for some dinner.
" Have a seat Aiden, you must be starving," Anna said to me knowing me very well. "Where is Hazel?" I ask Anna.
"Oh yes I just forgot, let me call her", "Don't worry I'll go and bring her," I told her before she can go.

I was about to knock at the door but found out it was already unlocked so I opened it but before I could say something, I shut my mouth. I saw her sitting with her legs to her chest and her head relaxing on her arms, with her eyes closed. She was sleeping. All the lights in the room were off, only the moonlight was falling on her. It was the most beautiful scene I have ever watched.
She was sleeping so quietly and comfortably that I didn't want to wake her up. I sat there at the doorstep, watching her.
I saw the tray of food left untouched on the table. That made my heart a little hurt, she hasn't eaten anything.
She was looking soo fragile at that moment that I could not even think about anything else. I saw a broken heart pendant wrapped around her hands. It didn't appear expensive but she hold it tightly like she was afraid to lose it. I suddenly remembered the same pendent pasted in her diary. Firstly I thought it was given to her by her boyfriend or something but no. It was something more special.
I was watching her, At that moment I wanted to ask her everything about her, who she is, and what made her like this. After reading her diary entries it was clear that she was not like this before. And now I wanted to see the old Hazel the real one.
I spent the whole night sitting there and watching her but went to my room before she woke up.
I went to my room and get ready for taking her shopping today.
It will going to be a tough day for me.
