Thread: Drake Falls (Main Thread)

Elys' sleep was ended abruptly the moment the plane's wheel hit the tarmac. She blinked her eyes twice, adjusting to the sunlight peering into her seat window. It was a beautiful morning, and a beautiful day for a reunion. After she gathered her belongings and proceeded out of the plane in a half-awaken state, she went directly to the nearest coffee shop. She reminisced about her childhood and the time she had spent with her younger sisters and her dad. Even though she was adopted, she felt blessed that she was brought in to such a wonderful family. Her sisters loved her truly and she loved them too. Her dad never treated her differently and has given her the same love and warmth that he had given to her younger sisters. It was as if she was really a part of the family. She still remembered the day her father dropped her off at the airport and her hesitation to leave her family behind. She had yearned for the moment when they all will be together again ever since and wondered if Roxy still has her jokes and whether her cooking has improved. She also wondered whether little Bella has gotten better at her dancing and violin play, although she wasn't sure if Bella could still be called little. She was so eager with anticipation. She put on her headphone and listened to the collection of jazz music she had stored in her iPhone, taking with her the venti caramel latte she had ordered. She was engaged in deep thought as she made her way to the taxi stand outside the airport. For the past years, she had been living all by herself, pursuing in a major she was passionate about, trying to follow in her father's footsteps. She was a recluse however, but she had a few friends she could rely on, all of them were female. She never spent her free time going out to bars, getting drunk or chasing guys while she was there. She was dead serious about her studies and her father's influence on her regarding men didn't help either. Because of that, she mostly spent her time in her apartment, studying and doing the things she loved. Whether it was watching indie movies or listening to obscure bands. This exposed her often to the internet however and by time, she stumbled upon the things that her father wouldn't let her lay her eyes on. She soon found herself drawn to it without her consent and felt for the first time, the feelings of lust and pleasure. She was embarrassed of herself because of this. Her father would surely be disappointed of her if he acknowledged this but she couldn't help herself. She figured it was much more safer and acceptable than sleeping with men. Besides, she thought, what's the harm in knowing how to 'pleasure' yourself? After she had such knowledge, she often looked back on the time when her father would bathe his own three daughters. She brushed this thought however and told herself that it was her father's form of love and nothing sinful and vulgar was associated with it. She looked through the cab's window, scanning the town that was located not so far from Drake Falls. Figuring if the town has changed or stayed pretty much the same in the one hour drive from the airport. It was then when Elys directed the cab driver to turn towards a forested area, scaling upwards. She had always admired the forest where her house was located and it hasn't change today. It was even better than she had recalled. She smiled unknowingly and closed her eyes. She was finally back home. She told the cab to stop in front of the bridge leading to her house. You live in that house ma'am? The cab driver asked. Yes I do. Elys responded as she paid her fare. What a nice house.. You are lucky. Elys didn't said a word and opened the door from the cab. As the cab was leaving, she filled her lungs with the fresh and cool air of the forest, creating a smile on her face again. She walked towards the front door with a hand dragging her luggage. She was wearing a beige coat, a white collared shirt, a skinny dark blue jeans and a pair of sneakers. When she arrived in front of the door, she steeled herself before she pressed the button that will ring the bell. She wondered who is going to greet her first and was quite nervous that whoever it is will be quite different than what she had remembered.
