The quiet one

Adara Forbes has been through hell and back in the past five years. Most 19 year old girls are out partying, spending their nights wasted in bars and trying to get together with anyone they could get. Adara is a whole other story. She hides herself away from the world, holding back from getting to know people because there's so many secrets held up inside her. TRACKING: shyandafraidpeters Muse&Mun are 18+

  Adara’s eyes flicked down to her hands, not realizing they had been shaking a bit. “Just because of someone that happened in the past…" 

"Well whoever they were, they were blind." Aidan said a bit more seriously, his smile fading. Noticing her shaking hands, he placed his gently on top of hers. “Trust me, you seem like a wonderful person Adara."

The simple gesture brought memories back to Adara, but she quickly pushed them aside, biting her lip gently. "Not as wonderful as I used to be." She said quietly. 

[shyandafraidforbes]

Can someone please plot with me? I kind of want Adara's attacker/old best friend to come around.

Adara’s eyes dropped a bit, frowning slightly. “I’m not, though." She said quietly, swallowing slightly. “It’s uh, Looking For Alaska." 

"Well, I think so.." Aidan kept his smile, but his eyes filled with a tinge of worry. “Why don’t you?"

[shyandafraidforbes]

Adara's eyes flicked down to her hands, not realizing they had been shaking a bit. "Just because of someone that happened in the past..."

  "Why thank you." She said quietly, placing her book down and taking a sip of her coffee. “It’s nice to meet you Aidan." 

[father-of-the-tides]

"Well it’d be wrong of me not to compliment such a pretty lady." Aidan flashed a charming smile and cocked his head to the side. “What are you reading there?"

[shyandafraidforbes]

Adara's eyes dropped a bit, frowning slightly. "I'm not, though." She said quietly, swallowing slightly. "It's uh, Looking For Alaska."

"Hey!" Aidan smiled kindly. “And what’s your name, stranger?"

[shyandafraidforbes]

Adara look up from her book,  smiling kindly at the boy. “Oh, I’m Adara." She said shyly. 

[father-of-the-tides]

"Adara. Now that’s a pretty name." Aidan let out a small chuckle and stared curiously at the girl. “My name is Aidan."

[shyandafraidforbes]

"Why thank you." She said quietly, placing her book down and taking a sip of her coffee. "It's nice to meet you Aidan."

[shyandafraidforbes]

Adara look up from her book,  smiling kindly at the boy. "Oh, I'm Adara." She said shyly. 

[shyandafraidforbes]

"Do you ever just hate someone so much, it kills you inside everyday?" 

[shyandafraidforbes]

"My great-grandmother wrote about it in a journal, she wrote that she gave it to your on her death bed. Vivian Forbes? I’m not sure what it is, she just wrote that it was the key to safety." Adara wasn’t sure if she even had the right guy, but according to her aunt, he was the right person. 

[legrandbourbon-deactivated20131]

"Forbes is a household name, in fact, the town sheriff called Liz Forbes. You know her?" He frowned. Dorian sighed and then opened the door for the girl come into his house. They would have to start somewhere and his old stuff was a good start. “Are you in town? If your great-grandmother was, she was very sure about safety, Mystic is no longer a normal town."

[shyandafraidforbes]

"I do know her actually, she's my aunt." She admitted. She slowly took a step inside the house, nervously adjusting her bag on her shoulder as she looked around slowly. "I just moved here a few weeks ago after my grandmother passed away. I'm highly aware this is no longer a normal town." 

[shyandafraidforbes]

"Why on earth do people feel the need to be so loud. I'm trying to finish my book over here." 

[shyandafraidforbes]

Adara strolled into her favorite cafe, expecting to spend her day reading as usual and minding her own business. She ordered her favorite things and turned to start over toward her usual spot, only to find a boy sitting there. She stood blankly for a few seconds, catching his eyes before they went to his book and she moved over to sit next to him. “That’s a good book." She mumbled, curling herself up in a small ball before pulling out her own book. 

[screwupmanor]

Charlie looked back down at the book, nodding his head. He had to agree with her, it was his favorite book. He had gained his love for reading from his brother, since he was the one who raised him. He peeked at the book in her hands for a moment before grabbing a napkin. He looked around for a pen, quickly finding on that someone had left behind. He grabbed the pen, quickly writing. “I haven’t heard of that one. What’s it about?" He questioned.

[shyandafraidforbes]

Adara flipped open to the page she had left her book mark at, starting to read it slowly. Book were the only thing that really interested Adara these day, so she read the ones she really enjoyed over and over again. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the boy writing and looked down at the table as he placed the napkin in front of her. She turned to him, smiling a bit. "It's about this girl who's running away from something she did at home, which the author makes you think is killing her husband. She goes to this really small town, where things seem to be going perfect until it turns out her husband isn't dead and comes looking for her. I won't give much away, because trust me, it's a good read." She said smiling, holding Safe Haven close to her chest.

A small smile tugged at the corners of Adara’s face, only a reaction from his magnificent grin. She kept her eyes low to avoid any actual eye contact. “I wouldn’t want to get you in any trouble though. Just to my house, I live down the street."

[nonexistentxillusion]

"It really doesn’t matter to me." He shrugged, noticing how the blonde avoided eye contact just as much as him. Though, at this point, with her being uncomfortable with him made him slightly more comfortable since she didn’t look at his face. Plus, he tried really hard not to look at her neck or chest to seem like a perv. “Getting in trouble would be the most exciting thing in my life, then."

[shyandafraidforbes]

The blonde nodded slightly, still rather unsure of the whole thing. She was never really one to talk, especially since she was one of the most closed off people you could meet. Her eyes finally glanced over at him as he spoke, a soft laugh escaping through her lips. "You should always try to avoid trouble though, it could lead to worst things." She said, a smile finally taking over her face.  

[screwupmanor]

Charlie looked up from his book as a stranger stood over him. He blinked, staring a the stranger, unsure of what to say. Well, if he could speak that was. He glanced back down at his book before looking back at the stranger with a questioning look.

Adara strolled into her favorite cafe, expecting to spend her day reading as usual and minding her own business. She ordered her favorite things and turned to start over toward her usual spot, only to find a boy sitting there. She stood blankly for a few seconds, catching his eyes before they went to his book and she moved over to sit next to him. "That's a good book." She mumbled, curling herself up in a small ball before pulling out her own book. 

[shyandafraidforbes]

Spending endless hours reading was one of Adara’s favorite things to do. It was how she spent her days, and had basically became a life style for her after everything she had been through. She sat quietly at her favorite cafe, finishing the book she had spent the day reading and glancing up at the clock in front of her. She realized she had forgotten to go to the library to get the books she wanted. Adara gathered her things up quickly, waving a quick goodbye as she rushed across the street. Thankfully, the doors where open, though no one was around. Figuring the librarian had stepped away, she quickly made her way down the stairs. At the sound of a voice, a small gasp escaped her lips, her eyes moving around the room slowly. “Uh…It’s Adara." She said quietly. 

[disneyreincarnate-deactivated20]

Hearing the quiet, yet somewhat familiar voice, relief flooded through Beau. He sighed a bit and walked towards the staircase. Beau had seen Adara plenty of times in the library, she seemed to be in there as much as he was. However, he hadn’t ever really had the chance to speak to her besides the formal pleasantries that were exchanged between acquaintances. He gave the quiet girl a friendly smile. “Hi, Adara. Were you hiding from me up there? I didn’t see you in the main room." He said, chuckling a bit. “Or maybe my search wasn’t thorough enough, ah well." He said, before motioning her to join him. Patrons technically weren’t allowed in the basement, but he was the only one here. Plus, he knew that Adara would probably be the one person to appreciate the books that were kept down here. “You’re welcome to hang out for a bit if you’d like." He said, another smile forming on his lips before he turned his attention back to the stack of books he had piled up on a table. 

[shyandafraidforbes]

A smile tugged at the corner of her lips as Beau appeared, thought it was clear to her now that the library had closed. The girl only knew the boy from the countless days she spent in the rows upon rows of books. The library was practically a second home to her, even if she rarely spoke to anyone. The girl shook her head slowly, tucking a lose strand of hair behind her ear. "No, I actually slipped in at the last second. I didn't realize it had actually closed." Adara's voice was soft, the smile finally taking over her face. "I'm sure you're doing just fine, Beau." She nodded, looking around a bit. The girl had gone down to the room only a few times without being seen and she was always amazed with the things he saw. "I wouldn't be bothering you, would I?" She asked shyly, her teeth grazing over lip gently.

 Adara nodded, “I’m fine, just really clumsy." She said with a small laugh, chewing her lip nervously. “Uh-" She paused her heart starting to race, being taking a deep breath. “Sure, that’d be really kind of you." 

[nonexistentxillusion]

The teen shrugged, a smile growing on his face as he stood up and held them to his chest. “No probs." He chuckled watching her take a deep breath. “Really you are doing me a favour of giving me something to do so I don’t have to go back. So, where we going on this adventure?"

[shyandafraidforbes]

A small smile tugged at the corners of Adara's face, only a reaction from his magnificent grin. She kept her eyes low to avoid any actual eye contact. "I wouldn't want to get you in any trouble though. Just to my house, I live down the street."

[shyandafraidforbes]

Adara could only hope he would knew where the locket was. He great-grandmother had sworn it would protect her against the evil in the town and she needed that more than anything. “Alright. What more do you need to know?" 

[legrandbourbon-deactivated20131]

"Well, who told you about this thing? I don’t know, someone who has been with it. And for what it is used. Witches or that sort of thing?" Dorian was a man of ancient times and as anyone couldn’t get rid of some things of the past but a locket wasn’t something he remembered. Unless if he has not looked right his things.

[shyandafraidforbes]

"My great-grandmother wrote about it in a journal, she wrote that she gave it to your on her death bed. Vivian Forbes? I'm not sure what it is, she just wrote that it was the key to safety." Adara wasn't sure if she even had the right guy, but according to her aunt, he was the right person. 

[shyandafraidforbes]

Adara stepped inside the Mystic Grill, her eyes scanning over the room slowly. It wasn't exactly her favorite place to be, but since she had nothing to eat at home, she figured it wouldn't hurt to step out. The place seemed pretty crowed, so the girl decided to leave, find a quieter spot. As she turned and took a step, her body hit another, causing her to stumble back a bit. "Oh, I'm so sorry..." She said shyly.

Adara walked slowly out the doors of the library, a stack of books in hand and her head low. As she walked, she stumbled over a piece of loose cement, stumbling forward into someone. “Sorry." She mumbled quietly, reaching down to pick up the books that had fallen. 

[nonexistentxillusion]

Ashton bent down to help the blonde to gather the books. “Hey, you okay?" He asked her, picking up a few books closest to him. “You want help, too? I don’t mind. Just going back to Study Hall, which is super boring.

[shyandafraidforbes]

 Adara nodded, "I'm fine, just really clumsy." She said with a small laugh, chewing her lip nervously. "Uh-" She paused her heart starting to race, being taking a deep breath. "Sure, that'd be really kind of you."
