Nephilim and the Nun novel Chapter 12

Quinn:

At dawn, I appeared at the address Damon had given me. I was standing in front of a little cabin, deep in the woods, surrounded by tall forest trees. There were no houses, nor signs of human lives. It was perfect for me.

With the key he had given to me, I opened the wooden door and stepped into it. The lights were off but I turned them on, eyes roaming the living room. It was not precisely big but It was okay. It had a two-seater sofa and three couches with a fireplace. It also had a television compartment. 

Grabbing my suitcase, I walked past the living room, dragging it behind me to see a door leading to the kitchen. It was a modern kitchen with a pristine surface. How it was neat when it looked like it hadn't been visited for years surprised me. I concluded that he might have hired someone to get it cleaned for me.

Leaving the kitchen, I saw a hallway with three doors in it. The first which I opened was the bathroom, the second was the restroom and the last which was down the hallway was the bedroom. It contained a king-sized bed, a walk-in closet, and also a tv compartment.

I opened the two windows overlooking the forest. Everywhere was eerily quiet, except for the chirping sounds of birds as it was morning. It was the true definition of peace in its purest form. For the first time since I escaped from the cell, I was at peace with myself. The confidence that I wouldn't be found here was gratifying.

Abandoning my suitcase in the middle of the room, I fell on the soft bouncy bed, reveling in the quietness that surrounded me. After a while, I decided to go hiking in the forest, to get acquainted with every nook and cranny of it as I'd be staying there for a while.

I changed into boots and exited the house, walking into the forest through a tiny trail I'd found. The forest was mostly tall trees and thick bushes but I didn't mind. The sounds of birds and squirrels brought life to it. I walked for a while till I got to a stream.

Stopping beside it, I looked into the water to see a reflection of myself. The water was as clear as day that I could see the fishes swimming underneath it. I stood there for a while before deciding to continue my hike.

There were stones on the water so I climbed them to cross the stream to the other side. I walked into the forest till I heard the loud sounds of flowing water. It was so loud that it drowned out the chirping of the birds. I got to where it was to realize I was at the top of a hill with a waterfall.

The sight was beautiful. The sparkling water poured from the rocks, into the river below. Since the sun wasn't yet up in the sky, I sat there. Closing my eyes, peace embraced me while I listened to the sounds of the water pouring into the river.
