Chapter 5:
…nothing.
Before I had time to think, another howl came from behind me. I was just about to turn when a hand was placed on my mouth and another hand on my waist.
The person holding me was behind me. I am so scared. Before I knew what’s going on, I was pinned against a tree which was little far from where we were standing. That was fast and that adds to the list of questions I have for him.
I was pinned against a tree by him. “What’s…” I was about to ask what was going on before he cut me.
“Shhh…don’t make noise” he whispered. This was scaring me. I don’t know what’s happening. I have so many questions.
After what seemed like a minute or two, he released me.
I was about to speak when he said “What are you doing here at dusk?” really loud.
Dusk? I looked around me and noticed that sun was almost gone and the sky was getting dark.
“I was…” before I could I finish the sentence I noticed how close we were. If we moved one inch, our lips will be brushing.
As I was thinking of that my eyes went on his lips, I couldn’t ever look away from them. His lips were so soft, so full, now I really want to kiss him.
My heartbeat is going crazy right now. It is going so fast. My stomach is having tingly feeling inside. I can’t look away from his face. It was so hot around us.
“You feel it too?” he said softly.
“Feel what?” I said honestly. I don’t know what he is talking about.
“That you heartbeat increases, in a good way, when you are around me and it gets so hot around us and you just sudden desire to just hold that person and…” he stopped as he looked at me, as if looking for answer.
“No, I don’t feel that.” I lied. I barely know him. I don’t know why I feel that way but I do and I don’t want to admit it.
“Do yourself and me a favor and don’t lie. I know you were lying. You do feel it.” He said. We were just looking at each other. I was looking in his eyes and he is looking in my eyes.
“So what does that prove?” I said, seriously wanting to know what he is talking about.
“It proves that you are the one I am looking for” he said slowly and softly.
What? I don’t get it.
“Just trust me. You will know what I am talking about when it’s time.” he said. “You need to come with me” he added.
“What? Look I don’t know you and I am not coming with you” I said as I tried to get free of his grip on my waist. As I did that, his grip just got tighter around my waist and now it was hurting me.
He is really strong. And now it was so strong, that it was really hurting me.
“Shh…I am sorry, don’t cry” he said softly. After he said that, I noticed warm drops of water coming from my eyes. My skin is sensitive; even if somebody slaps me playfully it leaves a little red handprint. I am sensitive, I can’t handle pain. I start crying when I am in pain.
“Take your hand of me” I said through my gritted teeth. He doesn’t even know that he is tightly holding me and I don’t like somebody seeing me cry.
“I am sorry I didn’t know” he said as he loosened his grip but he didn’t move his hand. With his other hand, he wiped my tears and now I stopped crying.
“Whatever. And I am not coming with you” I said and as he was about to speak, I remembered about his name. “What’s your name?” I added quickly before I forget.
“Ethan. I know yours but I like to hear it from you” he said with a smirk.
“That’s a really cheesy line to make a girl say her name, and if you know my name, then I don’t need to say it” I said playing smart. My turn to smirk and I did.
“Well, Anira…” he stopped after saying my name. My eyes widened as he said my name. How does he know my name? I haven’t said it once.
I was about to ask how but then his eyes started to turn red, like blood red. A gasp escaped my lips. Color changing eye added to my question list. I figured this is not a good time to ask those questions. I closed my eyes because I was so scared.
After a few seconds, I felt his hands leave my waist, and then fast wind hit my face. That forced my eyes to open. And I saw no one in front of me. I looked around me and I saw no one. Again where did he go? I decided to worry about that later. I wanted to just go home.
You never know what roams the forest at night. It was really dark now; the sky is darkest shade of blue and close to black. The moon was high in the sky. I really need to start paying attention to time. As I thought about home, I remembered Emily. Oh My God, I need to find her. What am I going to say to her parents? I am such a terrible friend. I don’t think I am going to find her alone.
I am going to go home, change into something warm because it’s really cold, and then call the police. I am sure we will find Emily.
I know you guys think that with a best friend lost, I am really calm but trust me, inside I am shaking with fear. Fear that I might not find Emily. Fear that I might not make it out of the forest. Fear that what I am going to say to her parents. I am scared right now. And Ethan’s eyes changing color doesn’t help either. That makes me more scared.
I don’t which way to go but I started running to get out of this forest. I don’t like it in this forest.
So I ran and ran and ran until…
