the boy in the forest

First Encounter

Ambrosia's Pov

I decide to throw away the flowers after thinking overnight. I push open the back door and stand before the forest for a moment. 

" Bye lavendar", I swing my arm and throw them to the forest with all my might. 

" Why are you being so aggressive towards the harmless flowers?" a guy wearing all black standing two or three steps away asks me. He has the British accent. He is quite tall about six feet two or three inches. That's intimidating. His orbs are so green that they remind me of the emerald stone.

Wait! Who is he and what is he doing here ? I didn' t even hear him coming. 

" Why are you here?" I raise my eyebrow.

" That's none of your concern," he said quite angrily eyeing the direction in which I throw the flowers.

" I mean u r technically at the back of my house," I sass folding my hands. 

He scoffs, " U r technically at the front of my forest." 

" Ur forest?" I laugh mocking at him. " U have a dry sense of humour, Mr. All Black. Nobody but the government owns this forest."

I don't know why but he looks furious at something. Not my concern tho just like he said. His eyes travel down to my feet. He takes something out from the pocket of his leather jacket. 

Now I feel the chill run down my spine. A stranger, a very handsome stranger, might I add, is standing two meters away from me claiming that the forest is his.  

He squirts down without taking his eyes off of me and place the small glass bottle on the ground. It's like a perfume bottle. I can see his hand shaking a bit. What's odd is that his skin is so pale that I get suspected of blood flowing in his veins. 

" You should take care of your foot. It's still swollen."

My eyes widen in surprise or more like in fright. I am wearing long pants that cover my ankle plus I'm not limping. There's no way he could see the faint bruise appearing on my ankle. 

" How do u know that? That's quite creepy, u know that right?" I look up at him ready to slap his face with countless questions. And guess what? He enters the forest without answering me. Rude huh?

" Wait! Answer me," I scream at the top of my lungs. He doesn't even looks back at me. 

I stand there watching his back without blinking. That's too much for me to sink in within a very short time, specifically seven minutes.

My knees are shaking yet I walk towards where he stood and pick up the bottle. That'a beautiful brown bottle.I carefully examine the bottle and it's labelled as, " for any cuts and wounds " So is that for me? 

 I screw open the cap. The cap is a rubber bulb attached to a small plastic tube, like a small pipette. I squeeze the bulb and see the red liquid running up the tube. I wonder if it is made of lavender because I can smell it. But lavender is purple.

I carefully squirt down and apply it on my painful ankle. It's a red sticky liquid similar to the blood, cold to the touch. Gently I rub it on and around the purple bruise. 

I slowly stand up and close the bottle. I open the back door making a mental note to lock the door whenever I'm upstairs. Suddenly a thought hit me. My ankle is no longer hurt. I quickly rush to the bean bag in my living room and sit down lifting my pants. 

No bruise, no pain, no nothing. Is it magic? I'm thankful. But isn't it too crazy to believe? First a stranger who knows that my leg was injured. Second he enters the forest. Third this magic liquid smelling lavender. 

I need a break. My mental condition needs a break. I run up the stairs and pack up my things. I'm going home. If I was scared back when I met him, now I'm shitting my pants. I shove my clothes, books and meds in the suitcase. 

As a safety precaution, I check my lab, put away the corrosive substances in the cupboard. After that I snatch the car key and run to the garage where my car is parked. My hands are shaking and sweating. I rub my palm on my jeans and insert the key into the ignition.

I speed home without taking a break. The thought about the stranger and the instantly healing liquid is swirling my mind the whole way back home. I officially announce myself that I'm insane. But thank god, I still remember my address. Note the sarcasm tho.
