Daphne's POV

I went to my room and looked around

Except for the dust, everything was just the way we left it before I was taken to the woods

I opened my wardrobe and it was almost empty, I packed most of my clothes while moving to the woods

Only a few clothes were remaining and a teddy bear too

The one Mom and Dad bought for me on my third birthday

I took the teddy bear and sat on the dusty bed

Tears rolled down my face as the memories rushed in

I can vividly remember everything as if it happened yesterday

Why couldn't I control my powers then

I killed my own parents

Even if am able to get rid of whatever it is am Cursed with, the truth of killing my own parents will haunt me forever

"Am sorry Mom and Dad" I said aloud as I broke down in tears

Just then the door opened and Liam came in

"Are you alright?" He asked as he sat beside me

"Am fine" I replied as I cleaned my tears

"You thought of your parents?" He asked and I nodded

"Everything's gonna be fine" He said as he hugged me and I sniffed

We disengaged from the hug and he looked at me

"Are you okay now?" He asked and I nodded

"You should get some sleep then" he said as he stood up to leave but I held his hand

"Are you okay?" I asked

"What?"

"I mean, the Soul Hunters killed Charlie and you guys seemed really close" I said

"He's my uncle" he said "And thanks for asking, am fine"

We talked for a while about other things until he was finally ready to rest.

"How are we gonna to find her?" I asked

"I don't know Daphne, I don't know. I think we should just concentrate on finding the orphanage you were adopted from for now. I've placed some of the Musk roots round the house and since its also raining, they went be able to detect our scents that easily so we should both get some sleep while we can, I have a feeling tomorrow's gonna be a really long day" he said and I nodded

"Good night then" he said standing up

"Good night" I replied and he left my room

***********

The rays of sun shone across my face waking me up

I slowly stood up from the bed and looked out through the window

For the first time in 22 years, I slept

I saw children going to school, adults going to work and some teenagers arguing

And then I felt a bang on my head and I suddenly became dizzy

It's been long I felt this much emotions from so many people all at once

My skin was on fire and my heart was shredding into pieces

I was slowly becoming unconscious

The pain is too much for my body to contain

My eyes were closing and I was falling

But two strong arms caught me and everything became quiet and cool

I slowly opened my eyes

It was Liam

"Are you alright?" He asked and I nodded slowly

We sat down on the bed and I rested for a while

"We should start looking for any clue about the orphanage I came from, Charlie said not to stay in a place for too long" I said

"Where exactly should we start looking?" Liam asked

"In my Dad's office" I replied

"Office?" Liam asked

"Yeah, he has an office at home and he keeps all his documents there" I said

"We should go there then" Liam said

We both stood up with Liam holding my hand

We walked to the room my Dad used as his office and there were cobwebs and dust everywhere

"We should clean this place" I said

"We don't have time for cleaning, like you said, we should leave here soon, we can't stay in one place for too long" he said

We went over to the shelf and started looking through it

We were really slow since we were still holding hands

"This isn't working" Liam said "I can't go through all the books and documents here with one hand"

"What should we do then?" I asked

He kept silent for a moment, thinking

And the he removed his belt and tied our ankles together

"All that is needed is skin contact, now our hands are free" he said and I smiled

We took different books and documents from the shelf and looked through it

We are faster in it now

We spend more than an hour but we couldn't find anything

"Found something!" Liam squealed and I quickly looked at the papers he was holding

"My adoption papers" I said and he nodded

"Hope orphanage Buckley road West Haven, that's where you were adopted from" Liam said

"We should go there now" I said

"Yes but before that we need to get some new clothes, we can't keep going around in one cloth" Liam said and puffed

"Do you know how many years I've been wearing this cloth?" I asked raising my brows

"No, I don't wanna know" he said shaking his head vigorously and I laughed

"But still, we should get some clothes and food supplies on our way since we have no fixed place to stay for now" he said and I agreed

"Let's go then" he said

"Your belt" I said pointing at our ankle and he laughed

"Sorry, I forgot" he said as he removed it

We went out of the house and walked towards the car

"There are many people around and I'll have to let go of you for us to enter the car, will you be able to handle it?" Liam asked

"Yeah it's only for a short moment" I replied

Liam let go of my and we quickly ran into the car

And he held my hand

"Did it hurt?" He asked

"Not much since it was only for a short moment"

"Let's go to the orphanage then" he said as he started the car

I wonder what discovery awaits us at the orphanage.
