Chapter 91: Chapter 91
Robin's POV
The mails were unusually full today and I decided to check them. It's been a long time since anyone checked the mail. One of the letters in the mailbox caught my attention. It's yellow envelope and blue dots were quite outstanding from the rest. "I wonder who it is from?" I muttered to myself. These days,people hardly communicate through letters anymore. The cellphone has become more commonly used than before.
The letter had a familiar scent as I tore open the envelope. "Dear Robin," my heart flipped at the sound of it. Could this be the message I've been waiting for? I quickly glanced to the bottom of the letter and saw the initials A. W. A.W? I wondered to myself. Oh my goodness, Ava! I almost screamed out.
I rushed towards the lake to read the letter without interruptions or disturbances. Getting to the lake,I opened up the letter and began to read again. "Dear Robin, I'm hoping you can tell the writer of this letter just by opening it. I really hope you do. We've all missed you here, Robin. I'm genuinely sorry for not contacting you over these years. It has been pretty rough for all of us but we survived. Camila is doing pretty well in the new job she found. She has become less shy and more brave than before. The kids have grown up to be real beauties too. I'm sure you're dying to see them right now,"
I chuckled. Of course I was. " The night we left without saying goodbye was unforgettable for us all. We were attacked by unknown men. How they got our location was baffling but I knew we had to leave or we'd face more danger. I'm truly sorry that we left without saying goodbye. Relocating to a foreign land was not pleasing at first but we had no choice. In that way,it would be very hard to find us. I can proudly say we've had peace since we moved here despite the first rough years. Enough of us now, how are you Robin? How's everyone one in the pack house? How's Anna my dearest friend? Have the truth being revealed? I have so many questions I want to ask now. I only pray this letter does not get into the wrong hands. I'm afraid I can't tell you of my location again till you write to me. Write to me and give me a number I can use to contact you. Take care of yourself Robin. Until we meet again. Much love. A. W"
I sighed in relief as I placed the letter on my chest. They were fine and doing great. I couldn't wait to write to her at once. I checked the date of the letter. It took it almost two weeks to arrive, if I write now, it will get to her by the end of the month. I got off the bench on the lake and shredded the letter into the lake. It was a relief that no one saw the letter but me.
I rushed back to the pack house. "What's chasing you?" Skye's voice halted me to a stop.
"Nothing, Skye," I said turning towards where he stood. "I just need to reply the letter my lover sent to me. " I said slyly.
He grinned. "Lover you say? I believe you to be a workaholic who had no time for women." He said.
"Believe me when I say Skye that I had no idea I'll be this in love." I said to him with a smile.
He raised a brow. "But seriously, who writes letters these days when cellphones are in the range now?"
"My lover does. She's old fashioned and I love her that way." I said sheepishly.
He laughed. "Tarry no longer, Romeo. Your lover is awaiting your letter." He said still laughing as he walked out the door. I smiled. "Your lover awaits your letter too, Skye. Five years is a long time of separation." I said to myself aloud beyond the reach of his ears.
I walked into my room and picked up a pen and a paper. I exhaled. "Dear Ava," I began to write.
Ava's POV
Camila walked into the house and plumped herself on the sofa. "Tired?" I asked her as I closed the book I was trying to read to get an idea on what I was working on.
"Exhausted." She said sighing.
"Sorry." I said to her.
"Sometimes,I feel like ripping my boss's neck." She said and I chuckled. "You do not need the show your boss your true self you know. " I said to her.
She groaned. "Believe me, Ava, he deserves my canines sinking right into his flesh." She said.
"Cmon don't do that. He may deserve it but I don't know you to be that cruel." I said to her.
She lifted her head from the back of the sofa. "That night changed me, Ava. I'd never forget that night." She said with a little terror in her voice. I walked up to her and sat beside her.
"Different situations change us and sometimes those changes are our true forms hiding and sometimes they are not. I love the fact that you've become bold and a bit fearless but I assure you that I won't appreciate the fact that you now consider yourself a murderer and that you can kill anyone just because you did so the first time. You didn't commit that murder on purpose camil,you did it to save me,I would have done that in your shoes too." I said to her.
She placed her head on my shoulder. "That night keeps haunting me." She said in a low and strangled voice.
I patted her arm. "You're not a murderer Camila that I assure you. I remember my first fight and how I slayed people. I couldn't get it off my mind for weeks. I kept seeing the faces of the people. I had to remind myself,if I hadn't killed those people,they would have killed me without remorse too. You're my saviour, Camila. You and Lucas were brave enough that night for the survival of all of us." I said to her and I felt her tear drop on my thighs.
"I wrote a letter to Robin two weeks." I said trying to cheer her up. She immediately lifted her head from my shoulder.
"How? When? Has he responded?" She asked all at once.
I chuckled. "Not yet. If he has seen it,then it will take a week or two before it gets here." I said to her.
"You wrote a letter to Robin two weeks ago and you're just telling me?" She inquired,a bit disappointed.
"I'm sorry. I wanted to surprise you with his letter when it arrives but you were moody and I had no choice but to tell you so you'd cheer up." I said to her.
"Tell me once his letter arrives." She said to me and I could tell she couldn't wait to read his letter. I nodded smiling. "Go get changed." I said and she nodded walking towards the stairs.
Camila's POV
As the water ran through my back, I wondered what Robin would say in his letter. Did he miss me? Did he have restless nights just like I did? Different thoughts ran through my mind like wildfire. Was he okay? I sighed. It's been five years since I last gazed upon his handsome face. I wondered if he had changed or looked the same.
Would he want me now or he still wouldn't? I sighed. I was freaking out. Maybe Ava shouldn't have told me about the letter. Now I had my mind and hopes on it. I couldn't think straight. Robin,Robin, Robin. What have you done to me that I still can't forget you over the years?
