Meant To Be

BELLA’S POV

When I was walking in the mud, suddenly the door of my car closed automatically. I looked back and found a cat sitting unbothered and licking her paw watching my moves.

I looked at the cat weirdly with her calmness, like the closing of that door shook me to the core but the cat didn’t even flinch.

It felt quite weird from her presence as if it knew me, suddenly I felt a roar within myself, like I was growling inside. I shrugged off the fact and continued walking or I should say jumping in the mud.

As I saw dry ground ahead I jumped out of the mud and still the cat was calm. As I laid my feet on the ground and started walking I felt like someone was following me and I could feel the strong presence behind me.

I kept the cat in my mind of that “someone” but something felt off, it wasn’t a cat. As I turned around, I saw a strange figure. At that instance I felt scared, not that I am a scaredy cat but I am pretty brave but I think I left that bravory in that mud I stepped in.

I started to increase my pace but this act of mine made me lost in the jungle.

“Idiot”, I said out loud.

For a minute I thought I was alone until I felt someone grabbing my wrist tightly leaving marks on it.

Just then I started screaming my heart out thinking that it might help, maybe someone could come and help me out in this situation, but no one came. I fell down on the ground still trying to get my hand out from the strong hold and searching for something on the ground with my spare hand that could help me defend myself.

This time again I felt a roar within me but just that this time it was much of a jerk I felt. I shrugged off that shit and finally grabbed a stone and hit the source that was holding me.

I felt loose, I looked back and found……a deer?

A freaking deer looking at me in the eye maybe hoping for me to run after him. I could feel him rubbing his feet on the ground waiting for me to chase him.

I didn’t even keep my feet on the floor when the creature departed. I moved backward and felt my back hitting something hard yet soft, the feeling of the skin texture.

I turned around and found a man but I was unable to see his face. I took a step back still lost and guess what he did the same sending shivers down my spine building some sort of fear inside me.

Within a blink of an eye he disappeared. By now I was terrified as hell. I was unable to process the event that took place in just an hour.

“Shit, shit, shit, shit, SHIT”

I started to get a panic attack and ended up breathing heavily, gasping for air, until I felt a soft touch on my bare arm.

It kind of helped me calm a little until I felt the same roar again just like I felt it the last time when someone grabbed my wrist. I turned to look and found the same man except this time I could see his face.

“Gorgeous”, escaped from my goddamn mouth.

Bella’s POV

Ok how can a human look so gorgeous. Ugh, that weird feeling I get everytime I see him. But my attention was diverted as soon as I heard my name from his mouth.

It sounded really sweet from his mouth but what, how does he know my name?

“BELLA”, he shouted quite loud as I was lost in my own world thinking how he knew my name.

“Bella, Isi, Bella. Where are you?”, those voices, wait….. Annie, Milo, my friends, they are calling me. I started to panic again. I was about to walk towards the voices of my friends ignoring the presence of an unknown man whom I don’t know why I am getting attracted to, until, (Gun shot), indicating that the person calling me has been shot.

It got pin drop silence.

“No, no, no, no, Annie, Milo, where are you? I'm right here guys. Please listen to me, I am coming ok. Don’t worry”, I cried feeling lonely again.

Annie and Milo have been with me since my parents left me in this cruel world alone with absolutely nothing.

They have been with me through my tough times, with me through thick and thin. I am definitely not ready to live without them, they were my colleagues too, we worked in the same news company.

I started to hear voices in my head warning me to not go into the creepy forest that I am in right now.

FLASHBACK

Annie:Bella boss will be happy but it's kinda creepy, it scares me to the core.

Milo: Yeah, Bella, An’s right, maybe we could find another place to write a report on.

Me: Guys, guys you all are such scaredy cats. Come on this could be our big break. Like no one has written a report on that place for years since they think that forest is haunted. And besides I am not going alone, you guys are coming along with me. Ok so just chill out.

Annie: Alright, U ain’t listening so I'm just gonna give up.

Milo: Same here (chuckles).

All laughing together.

(Flashback Ends)

I was crying pretty awful as I caught a glimpse of the same man from a while ago staring at me. Was he pitying me? I got pissed and stood up harshly trying to ignore his existence. I don’t know what this feeling was.

Was it…. No no it can’t be. Clouded by my own thoughts by now he was standing right infront of me. I looked up since he was quite heighted

. Maybe I was trying to know him, but why, why do I get the feeling that I have known him for so long. I got lost in those deep like ocean eyes, that glowing skin, those features and all.

“Come back to your senses Bella” , I heard my mind speaking and I came back. Good timing, cause he might be thinking of me as a freak. He was looking at me like I was some sort of prey. I

could see longing in his eyes for me, was I judging it wrong or was it true.

It was looking like he wanted to attack me, by looking at him I don’t know why but I murmured,”How could someone be so handsome”, ugh maybe I am just overthinking because of what happened earlier.

I should give my mind a break too, it has been overthinking a lot lately.

Right now I completely forgot the situation around me, it was like I was free of burden, forgetting my problems back there. He forwarded his hand to me.

That touch of his soft and cold fingers, I think as if I have felt a similar touch somewhere.

Grabbing his hand I was looking at his deep like sea eyes, as if I could read what they were screaming but I got dazzled as all the shit came running back to me.

His dark orbs examined mine deeply but they got distracted. I pulled my hand hastily from his hold and scooted away from him like I felt scared from him.

He quickly ran away. By now I was really getting irritated by this kind of behaviour, coming to console and leaving like a stranger.

Just a little time had passed when the stranger came running from somewhere from the forest, holding…..a coconut? Wait what the hell.

“What the fuck am I suppose to do with this, huh….. Kill you.” I acted totally creepy until….

“Oh”, escaped from my mouth looking at him holding a coconut.

He came and handed me the coconut quietly, still examining me deeply. But this time his gaze seemed some sort of creepy.

I was looking at the coconut in my hand while he came closer and held one of my hands while from the other hand he opened the coconut in the blink of an eye.

“What the fuck”, I said shamelessly. He chuckled at my statement and gestured to me to drink.

Ohh now I understand , he bought water for me, like I believe there is no bigger idiot in the whole world than me.

I drank the water and suddenly remembered Milo saying, “Bella stay in the car with Ainne. And for God sake don’t be stubborn.”

God
