Emerald P.O.V

I opened my eyes and looked around me, I was in the forest, a very beautiful forest. It looked like I have seen this place before but where, I am not sure. 

This is one of Rose tricks.

I moved forward to find a way to get out of this forest, just then I heard voices coming from few distance away from me. I quickly walked towards the sound and hide behind a tree when I saw two people conversing with each other. I enhanced my hearing to hear their conversation.

"I was running away from thugs" The man murmured pressing his hand to his wound. His eyes were blue like an ocean, he was beautiful to look at. I didn't recognize the male at all. I saw a woman kneeling beside him and pressing her hands to his wound. I couldn't see the woman face but she had blonde hair from the way I was seeing them. Suddenly the male wound disappeared and he sighed in relief.

What the hell am I watching?

"What do they call you?" Woman asked removing her hand and sitting on the green grass, he opened his eyes and sat opposite of her. "Thank you, My name is Lazarus" he said looking at her and his eyes widening in process.

"I am Rose" She replied smiling at him. My eyes widened in shock, the woman sitting few feet away from me is Rose but she doesn't look like Rose to me. Sure, she has blonde hair and blue eyes, other than that there is no similarities between them. I was shocked and confused that why I am watching this scene. Is it even real?

"You are so beautiful" he whispered staring at her in awe, she chuckled hearing that and he blushed in embarrassment.

"Come on, you must be hungry with all the running" Rose said standing up and dusting her clothes, he followed suit and they started walking in my direction. I quickly hide behind the tree so that they couldn't see me, As they passed me, I heard Lazarus speaking,  "Where are we going?" he wondered looking around. "Home" she replied with one word and suddenly they disappeared from my view. I looked around me to search for them but found no one. There was no one but me.

"This is the first time I met him" Rose suddenly appeared beside me and looked in the direction where they just disappeared, she looked the same as I have known her. 

"Why are you showing me this?" I asked frustrated with the situation. What's the point of showing me this. "I want you to know from where this all starts" she said with a faraway look on her face.

"Who is Lazarus?" I asked the question in curiosity, if she is saying that there is some reason behind her destruction then I want to know. She smiled at me, a slow smile "You will know soon" she muttered, with that I was sucked into oblivion.

***

This time when I came into consciousness, I was in the same forest but in the different location. I started walking knowing fully well, there will be some memory playing in front of me. As I predicted I heard the sound of chuckling and whispering. I moved in that direction and saw Rose and Lazarus sitting beside the lake whispering to each other. I was sure they couldn't see me so I sat on a stone and listen to their conversation.

"You know, you are so beautiful" Lazarus said sighing, this made Rose blush and she lowered her head to hide it. "I told you not to give me compliments" she murmured smiling at him, from the look of it, it appear that she enjoy this little compliments very much. "I am unable to fill your request this time love" he said putting his hand on her cheek and turning her head in his direction, they both stare at each other lovingly. I averted my eyes away when they started leaning towards each other. I groaned putting my head in my hand "I don't want to watch this" I murmured and then looked in that direction when I was sure, they were done with their romance.
