It was 9 in the morning and aunt Marie was still at home.
"Aren't you going to work today?"
"Yes , yes I am just about to leave", said aunt restlessly.
"Is everything okay? I mean,it seems something is bothering you."
She glared at me for a second and all of a sudden rushed into her room. She hadn't been like this before. But today she was acting a bit strange.
"Katherine?"called my aunt.
She stood still and didn't utter a word after that. She was acting weird now.
"What is it Aunt Marie?"
"I am leaving now", saying this she left at once.
I stood still for a moment wondering what was she upto. Every day i had something new to experience.
Now it was only me in the house. And now there was only one thing that I couldn't stop thinking about. It was him. I even didn't know his name.It becomes difficult for me to act normal when he's near me. I don't understand why my heart flutters on seeing him. What do I feel for him is even unknown to me. But all I want is just to see him all the time.

It was around 12 in the afternoon that I again went to that chinese stall. I guess I had become addictive to these noodles. But of all the things my conscious said that I could meet him nearby this place. So I ended up having those noodles again.
Time flies. I didn't realise that it was almost for two hours that I had been clinging onto the noodles. I hurried and finished eating .

Walking the busy streets is no fun. I guess its just a false notion of the people living in country side or villages that city life is a happening one. It maybe, but a person can't find peace here.
I was on my way back that I happened to see him again. His head again covered. I wonder if he ever changes his dressing style. He stood at the other end of the road. He probably didn't notice me. So I decided to approach him first. The moment he saw me coming towards him and our eyes met, he turned his back on me and walked away. I felt like a fool for a moment. Why does he act cold all the time?
I was overflowing with anger, despair and what not.
"What a jerk!!"
I don't understand why am I after such an arrogant personality. From now I am not going to be affected by him. He isn't interested in me why shall I lower my self-esteem.
I walked back home and reached around 4 in the evening. I was still mad.
I decided to cook dinner myself tonight. That my phone rang.
Beep...beep...beep!!!
"Hello dear", it was my aunt.
"Aunt Marie? Is everything alright?" I asked with concern as she usually never calls at this hour.
"Yeah, nothing to worry but some important work has popped up and its necessary for me to go out of city for few days. I am already on my way."
"So is this the reason you were acting weird in the morning" I said annoyingly.
"I was really confused dear that how to tell because it was not sure that I'll be leaving. So I hope you'll be ok on your own. I have left money behind in the lower drawer of my room. And if anything happens contact me at once. I'll be back by Tuesday. Please take care of yourself and don't hurt yourself anywhere and be safe."
"Hmm...Don't worry just finish your work and come back soon. Have a safe journey."
Saying this I hung up the phone.

Today is Friday, 5 days alone in this house. You got to be kidding me. Nothing is happening good since the time I have shifted to this city.
Now I was tired, not physically but mentally. So I laid on my bed and decided to take a nap. And in no time I was fast asleep.
**********
When I woke up, for a moment I was confused that where am I. I stared at the clock. It was 8 p.m. I can't believe I slept for so long. Aunt wasn't at home so dinner wasn't ready. I felt so annoyed. But I was hungry. There was no other option except for cooking.
Well aunt did a great job by filling up the refrigerator with food before going, so it was easy for me to cook.
It was while eating that I heard a strange sound in the house. First I thought it was just my imagination but I heard it again and again. I grabbed a knife along with me and went around to check that what was that sound all about. But I didn't find anything in the house so I went outside in the backyard. The lights weren't working there. I slowly made my way. It was again the creepy shed. The moment I opened it's door, a voice startled me.
"Boom!!"
I screamed, and his one hand covered my mouth and the other giving a sign to keep quite.
"What the hell is your problem?" I asked annoyingly.
"Aren't you glad to see me?"
"Glad? Huh! Seriously?"
"Well in that case I feel disappointed."
"What are you doing here?"
He glared at my eyes. He was doing it again. He knows that he has an effect on me. But I avoided an eye contact and said,
"I even don't know your name yet."
"Jason. My name is Jason."
I stood still, well I didn't know what to do further. I was just glad that I finally know his name.
"Anything else you wanna know about me?", he asked giving a sly smile again.
"What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to see you", his words made my heart skip a beat. But I didn't give into, I controlled myself. He has his known way of making people fall for him.
"See me?," I said sarcastically.
He narrowed his eyes at me.
"I mean, then why did you turn your back on me this afternoon."
He smiled, grabbed my hands and then gave me a confused look and asked,
" Where is your bracelet?"
"Oh that, umm.. I took it off for a while.."
"But I told you not to remove it ever", his look wasn't charming anymore but rather full of anger.
"It's just a bracelet. Why you behaving like this?"
He let go off my hand and turned his back on me again. I couldn't understand anything. Was he angry? But for what, for a bracelet.
"I am sorry, I'll put it on again", I didn't know what else to say except this.
He looked at me, his eye color wasn't blue anymore. They were shining like golden fire.
"Your eyes....they ..", I didn't get words to speak.
He turned away his gaze. He ran away into the woods again. I didn't understand what to do and followed him back into the woods. It was all dark and scary but I kept on going.
I reached an area that I had never heard of or seen before. The moon shone brightly, its light shining on the earths surface, and the small lake present here. There was no one around. I called for him,
"Jason..Jason, where are you?"
There was no reply, no movement only silence.
"Go away, run away from here", a voice said from the woods. The voice sounded familiar , it was Jason. But this time a bit heavy and dense.
"Jason, is that you. Where are you? Why are you hiding?"
I waited, but no reply.
"I'm not going anywhere untill and unless you explain me what is going on".
I could hear someone growling. These woods were famous for wild animals being around. For a moment I stood helpless. I didn't understand what was happening . I was deep inside the woods that I even didn't know the way back. And Jason, why was he hiding? My face was burning, yet fingers icy cold.
At this hour whom was I going to ask for help. Too dark to see anything, too deep that my voice could never reach to the outskirts of these woods.
I again called for him, " Jason?? Jason, please if you are trying to play tricks here, see I'm already half white with fear. Please come out and lets get out of here. Jason?
Are you listening what am I saying?"
I could hear something running around. Fear was at its peak that I couldn't think of something. I saw a broken bush lying on the ground. I took a hold of it and made my way towards the direction from where the growling sound was coming.
I could hardly see a thing, it was too scary that even the trees appeared like a scary shadowy fellows to me. My body was trembling with fear. As I made my way into the woods, the growling sound could be heard clearly. As I reached the spot, I could hardly believe my eyes. A dead man lying on the ground covered with wounds and blood and a wolf standing near the body. I, at once shut my mouth with my hands so that I don't make a noise. But to my bad luck my foot got stuck and I fell, which the wolf heard and he could smell a human near. He turned his eyes towards me and I without thinking ran to my fullest speed and the wolf behind me. I kept running without looking behind. I hid myself behind a rock. I was breathless, my body trembling, my face covered with sweat and tears flowing from my eyes. The wolf was nowhere to be seen.I shut my eyes tightly and sat for a moment.
I suddenly heard someone sniffing, I closed my fists tightly and as I slowly opened my eyes I could see a giant animal infront of me, mouth covered with blood, eyes staring into mine in which I could see myself dieing. He glared at me and made his way towards me, I couldn't move and shutting my eyes I turned my face to the other side covering it with my hands.
He howled. And kept howling for atleast 5 minutes.
I looked at him, his eyes were of the same color that I saw of Jason, golden.
I don't know what made me say it, but I asked," Jason, is that you?"
The creature howled again. I couldn't believe my eyes. My body was trembling badly with fear that I even didn't realise that when all of sudden I lost my conscious and fainted.
