I can feel him. He’s in here somewhere, watching. His bow ready to shoot when the time is right. My mind tells me to run, to stay away from this place as far as I can, but as the saying goes “curiosity kills the cat” or should I say the doe which obviously is what I’am. I can’t stop myself so I dared take a peep and look at the most beautiful man I have ever laid my eyes on. Medium height, stocky build, ashy blond hair that falls in waves over his forehead.
I can see it in his face, I know he’s surprised to see me standing in front of him not even daring to run, to save my life from this hunter. I can see his struggling to remain emotionless but the blue eyes shows the excitement he feels. I watch him as he makes he’s way towards me, flexing his muscle and preparing to shoot.
I know and my instinct tells me that this is my last chance to save myself but I was petrified, stuck in this forest as I take the arrow straight in my heart.
I woke up with a start when I heard the church bell ringing in the distance. That dream again, It’s been bothering me for a week now. I couldn’t decipher the meaning but I have this feeling that I was there, that I saw it happen but every time the arrow was freed in the bow I always wake up.
I shook my head and erased the dream in my mind as I prepare for mass. There’s always time for everything. I’ll find out what the dream means in time.
The church is half a mile away from our house. Since it was still early I planned to walk myself to church. Not knowing that an unexpected event will happen.
I was walking when I found a beaten path that led to the forest as if it was there for men to use. Thinking that it is a shortcut to church I took it without a second thought.
The forest was simply beautiful. The lush that surrounds me is a sight to behold. The occasional slender beams of sunlight that luckily slip through some opening in the leaves far above makes it more alive. As I came into a certain spot in the forest where trees are much wider apart from each other the dream suddenly pops in my mind. I knew it, this very place is where the doe is standing, watching the hunter.
As I was standing there frozen and shocked I heard a thumping feet in the forest floor. I immediately hide in the nearest tree, where the doe was hidden in my dream. The man stopped just a short distance away, I’m certain it’s a man because of the way he walks; it was so noisy and heavy. I can sense him searching the place for any disturbance.
I feel like I was the doe, I know I should run but I can’t so since I went through all this trouble already I decided to show myself. I’ve done nothing wrong he won’t kill me. I slowly stepped from my hiding place and was surprised to see that he was the man in my dream but different. Instead of a bow and arrow he’s holding a pistol and his hair; it’s still ashy blond but cut short revealing more of his manly and handsome face.
In that moment, it seems that the world stopped and all thing gone. Living only the two of us looking at each other. I knew then that in the instance I laid my eyes on this man I fell in love but since its impossible back then life has given me another chance and maybe my last chance to live life full of love with this man beside me. It was destiny, we were meant to meet in my two lifetimes.
I was meant to be killed by this man in my first life so that there could be a connection between the two of us when we meet again in my second life.
