#Chpater 61 - Safe Space

Soren The sand is hot beneath my feet, the sun blazing from high up in the bright blue sky. I gather my belongings and turn back to face the house, all of my worries slipping away and into the sea. The walk back to the house is peaceful. I look around as birds fly around in the sky while they sing and chirp their happy songs. Strangely enough, I feel the safest I have ever been. It is just me, Celia, and the two soldiers. Nobody else is here to attack us or bring us any type of harm. This may be my own kind of wishful thinking, but I hope this peace is not ruined and can stay for just a few more days before everything eventually turns into shit. The seaside villa comes into view and I instantly spot the soldier inside the house. He has the phone to his ear and paces around the house. Anxiety begins to form inside my stomach. My feet slow and bury themselves into the hot sand, my grip on my towel and water bottle tightening. I raise an eyebrow and cautiously approach the home.
