Search For The Sun
Chapter 5
Day 15
Dakota was sitting on her found favorite spot in her tree.
Her legs swinging over the side of the branch while she stared up at the clear sky.
She leaned back against the trunk as she listened to the others call her name.
Normally she would've answered, but today was her last day here and she didn't want to see anyone.
Many would think she would want to say goodbye, but she didn't want to see the crying face of her self proclaimed sister.
She would miss Bell more than she originally thought she would.
She didn't want to leave, but she knew she didn't have a say in the matter.
Nobody would even tell her where she was going.
A tear rolled down her face, that wasn't unnoticed by her.
She wiped it away confused as to why she was crying.
She had told herself not to get to close to the others, she knew she would have to leave.
She had become as close as friends as possible with the others, though she hadn't thought it was possible.
One of the yelling voices distracted her.
"Kota, at least come out so we can say goodbye!" Kendall shouted, "You should know you're no going to be leaving alone! Aden is leaving to!"
Dakota jumped down from the tree landing on the balls of her feet.
Kendall smiled as he saw her.
"What did you say?" She questioned walking to his side.
"Aden is going with it. He was just told by Mr. Hodgens," Kendall humored, smiling at her.
"I'm confused. I don't want to go," Dakota grumbled, sitting in the long grass.
"And I don't want you to go, nobody does. Now," He said, picking her up by her waist and throwing her over his shoulder, "We go to you and Aden's Farewell party."
"Kendall I swear if you do not put me down I will kick you," Dakota growled, squirming around.
"If I set you down you'll run again," He chuckled.
"Can you at least move your hand," Dakota demanded smacking his hand where it was conveniently placed on her butt.
He laughed and tightened his hold on her waist.
He carried Dakota until they got to the dining room where everyone was waiting.
She heard laughter from everyone as soon as they entered the room.
Kendall set her down in a chair, and moved to take his own seat.
There were several people including all the teenagers and some of the children.
"Sissy look what I got you!" Bell informed hoisting herself onto Dakota's lap.
She opened her small hands to revel a necklace with a small bear charm on it.
"Thank you Bell," She smiled putting it on. She pulled a small purple stuffed bear out of her back pocket and handed it to Bell. "Aden and I got this for you. So you can remember us."
"Thanks sissy," Bell beamed throwing her arms around Dakota's neck, "Thanks Aden!"
"Your welcome, sweetie," Dakota said her heart growing heavy.
"Here me and Dylan chipped in to buy this for you," Kendall tossed her a poorly wrapped present.
Dakota unwrapped it quickly reveling a black iPod.
She smiled and gave Kendall and Dylan a quick hug.
"Thank you guys so much," She said giving them both a peck on the cheek.
"Welcome," Dylan blushed a bright crimson color.
"Yo, Aden your turn!" Kendall pulled the anti social boy from his corner.
"Here!" Bell exclaimed handing him a wrapped package.
He opened it to revel a black and red sweater.
Dakota had brought it, but Bell had picked it out.
"Thank you Bell. Dakota," He said smiling softly.
"Welcome!" Bell said pecking his cheek.
He smiled and gave her a slightly awkward hug.
"Here man," Dylan said handing him a couple cds.
It was Three Days Grace, Bring Me The Horizon, Linkin Park, and Slipknot.
"Thanks," He echoed sitting down in a nearby chair.
"Here," Kendall said throwing him a package.
He opened and and smiled when he saw the book he had been wanting to read.
"Guys I'm getting a headache I think I'm going to go climb the tree again. If you need me that's where I'll be," Dakota set Bell down on the table, and moved to leave the room, but was stopped when Kendall jumped in front of her.
"You haven't even eaten any cake yet!" Kendall pouted.
"Yeah me and Kendall made it from scratch!" Dylan exclaimed throwing his hands into the air. Aden looked at him suspiciously, "Okay I may have gotten some help from the cook."
"Okay, I'll have one piece. But then I'm going outside," She said sitting on her chair.
"Yay!" Bell giggled sitting on her lap once more.
"Here you go," Dylan said sitting a piece in front of her.
She took an experimental bite, before smiling and giving them a thumps up.

She was packing her things into a bag while helping Aden pack his things.
He had issues with folding he would rather just stuff everything into his bag.
While she would fold and make sure it was neat.
"What's this?" Dakota turned to see Dylan was holding up a pair of her lacy black panties.
"I should have known you would go through my underwear drawer," Dakota complained snatching her panties away and hiding them in her bag.
"I was kidding, besides it's sexy," He pressed stepping toward her.
Her eyes narrowed as she punched him in the arm.
He winched and took a step back.
For a girl Dakota could really hit hard.
"Calm down. I'm sorry!" He defended putting his hands up in the air.
"I know. Sorry for hitting you so hard," She sat on her bed pulling her knees up to her chest. "I'm just feeling really weird today."
She laid back staring at the ceiling.
She covered her face with her arm and tried to calm herself.
"It's okay I understand," He sat beside her. "Everyone here will miss you."
"I don't understand why. I mean I'm sarcastic and cynical," She bitterly stated, "And as you've seen I'm not the nicest person."
"Well friends know how to accept their friends, despite their bad qualities," He comforted pulling her arm from her face. "And you're not a bad person. You're not mean anyway."
"Thanks," She threw her arms around his neck and tightly hugged him.
His cheeks turned a bright crimson.
After she finished packing she hurried to the library wanting to read for a while.
She was surprised to see Mr. Hodgens looking through the books.
"Hello," She softly spoke walking to his side.
"Oh Dakota. Hello," He greeted, "I noticed you have been reading L's cases a lot lately."
"I really love reading about him. He is a great detective," She commented, picking up her favorite dog eared book.
"Why don't you take it with you when you leave," He offered, smiling at her.
"Could I?" She pleaded, looking at him with her large green eyes.
"Of course," He assured.
"Thank you," She gripped the book to her chest, "Do you know when me and Aden are leaving?"
"In about an hour at most," He told her looking up at the library clock.
"I really appreciate everything you have done for me," Dakota reached out to shake his hand and received a hug instead.
"It's nothing Darling," He assured her, resting his hand on her shoulder, "Take care of yourself."
"I will," She promised.
"Are you done packing?" He inquired turning back to the shelf.
"Yes, I finished a while ago," She informed him, opening her book and skimming the pages.
She already knew the book by heart, but still liked to read it.
"Here," Mr. Hodgens handed her a black box with a red ribbon tried around the middle, "This is a parting gift from me."
She carefully untied the ribbon around the middle and pulled off the top of the box.
Inside was a midnight black dress with lace trimming, and a new pair of black converse.
"I noticed those shoes of yours were wearing out, and Marie helped me pick out the dress," He smiled and was surprised when she hugged him.
"Thank you. I really like it," She said, releasing him.
"I'm glad," He silently walked from the room.
Dakota grabbed the box and her book and hurried to pack them with her stuff.
She was surprised that someone she met only weeks ago would give her something so nice.
"The car that that is taking us is here," A voice broke through her thoughts as she zipped up her backpack.
Aden was leaning against the door, with his bag in hand.
Dakota gathered her stuff before heading out to the waiting car with Aden.
They were both surprised to see it was a expensive looking car instead of a crappy one.
Once again Dakota wondered where they were going.
The driver stepped out and opened the door for them.
Dakota entered first, wondering why the driver was so proper.
"I'm confused," She whispered to Aden, "Where are we going? Did we get adopted or something?"
He just shrugged unsure himself, and looked out the window.
She followed his example and stared out her own window, wondering what life had planned for her next.

"Master L, they are on their way," Watari informed the teenage boy setting a cup of tea down by his side.
"Yes Watari. Does the driver have their passports?" L inquired. The old man nodded and disappeared into the kitchen. "Good."
"Master L, did you call the house to let Rogar know about the new arrivals?" Watari questioned.
"Hmm, it must have slipped my mind. Could you do that for me?" L asked taking a sip of his tea.
"Yes," Watari pulled a cell phone from his pocket.
"And let him know these two will go by the names A and D," L told him as he walked to look out the window. "I'll be looking forward to our meeting D."
