We went inside the wall of vines and it suddenly just closed as the way it was. I was amazed with the beauty inside. It was like a place that could only be seen on disney world... magical.

A little falls, with a bunch of trees having colorful flowers, and the garden are just full of different flowers. I was partly agape, unable to describe the view, but one thing only I could say, this is breathtaking.

"How did the forest got a cabin here?" Vincent asked with curiosity.

"I don't know, but this place looks maintained as if someone is living here." That was my theory since the flowers, trees and the bricks look pretty good as if it has been taking cared daily.

As we walked towards the Cabin for a rest since Vincent is having a hard time with his wound, he stopped which made me stopped at well. I looked at him confusingly.

"Tell me Kelly, are you really just... a genius student?" He asked as his face was hard but it held curiosity.

My heart pounded so fast, and when I was about to answer him,

"You have come." We suddenly looked at the old man who talked at the side.

With swift movement, I just saw myself behind Vincent, as he positioned himself in front of me, shielding me from danger while holding his wounded stomach.

I bit my lip, blushing in his attempt to protect me despite of his condition.

"Who are you?" He coldly asked.

"I am the owner of this place and I have been waiting for you, I thought you wouldn't come." He said looking at me.

I hold Vincent's arm to calm him as I looked at his eyes, despite of the curiosity lingers on it, I nodded to Vincent reassuring him that, it would be okay.

Then I looked at the old man, "What do you mean?"

"Eye. You are the eye in the prophecy, the person who can save the world from the upcoming danger." He stated with seriousness in his voice.

From my peripheral vision I could see Vincent's forehead furrowed but I looked straight to the old man "What prophecy?" I asked full of curiosity.

"I will tell you later, I think your boyfriend needs help first. Let's go inside my house so we can cure him." He said pointing to the cabin.

I don't know why but I feel comfortable with the old man and so I nodded and smile, " Thank you." I said to him and then faced Vincent as I smiled widely "Hear him? Let's go hubby!" I grabbed Vincent's arm and support him as we walked towards the cabin.

"Tch. And you just believed him?" He asked with disbelief but he keeps walking not even think of resisting.

"Yes, he looks kind and we have no choice, we need to heal your wound, it is getting bigger... see." I looked at his wounded stomach to see it gotten bigger and I felt no danger in this place, if ever, a vision had already popped in my head to warn me.

"I could see it... and there are so many things you need to tell me." He stated as we got inside the cabin.

"Lay on the sofa, my house might be so small, but it is only me and my granddaughter living here. Feel free, tell me if you need anything." He said.

"Wait, you have a granddaughter?" I asked, why haven't I seen here when we got here?

"Yes, I think she's in the school right now. But, not long after she'll be back here. I gotta go to find some herbal medicines, you stay here." He turned his back leaving me with so much curiosity.
