The Unexpected

The cold and gentle breeze broke through my open window. i looked outside and found my gaze locked on the inviting forest across the turning point. a sudden urgency to take a stride in the forset lingered in the depths of me. i looked on my wall clock.its twenty minutes before 5 pm. suddenly,i saw myself putting on my black jacket. my parents are away due to their 20th anniversary and my brother is up in his room with his friends. "the food is in the fridge. i'm going out.dont bother waiting for me," i called loudly as i got out of the door. i didn't wait for his reply for right now, i simply dont care whether he approved of me going out or not.

a deep sigh of pleasure escaped from me as i reached the forest. there seemed to be voices calling me,seeking me as i pave my way to the hazy place. yes,this is where i wanted to be. i dont know why but a feeling of belonging washed over me. as if im a large part of this place and this is where imdestined to be.I shook my head to remove all the absurdness and walked deeper into the woods, familiarizing every detail of the forest as i walk. leaves shook and branches creaked but the sound was very pleasant to my ears. grasses swayed with perfect rhythm and animals seemed to be hushed as a strong yet gentle wind traveled around the forest.i hugged myself, enjoying the contentment and peacefulness that's enveloping the woods.

The best moment of my life was disturbed by the tiny raindrops coming from the dim sky. i completely forgot the time and hastily glanced at my watch. it's already 7:27 pm. wind blew harshly and the trees shook violently. seems like a storm is coming. my paradise turned into hell as the weather got worse.i zipped up my jacket and put on my hood.i ran for the largest tree, partially covering me from the powerful drops of the rain. a new wave of emotion swept over me.fear. im so alone in this place.i was soaked under the tree and i felt a terrible headache. my body began to feel too heavy for me to stand and my knees became numb and buckled. i fell on the muddy ground and visited the world of darkness.

my eyes involuntarily flew open as i felt cold and strong arms carry me. i also became aware of the motion which is unfathomably fast. a man. an unfamiliar man was carrying me with rich dark hair, warm brown eyes with golden little flecks, a strong jaw, a pale complexion, great build, prominent nose, a perfect profile -  a God-like appearance.

it cant be.flashbacks of myself about reading books and articles about the blue-blooded or cold-blooded played in my mind. "i know what are you," i blurted out unconsciously. "I know.I've been watching you all along," came his velvety reply. i continued to stare at his stunning face until he spoke again. "why did you came here? dont you know that this is a perilous place?" "No reason in particular," i answered, mesmerized by his striking beauty.

he snorted and in a fraction of a second, we're standing in front of my house. he rang the doorbell and before he could leave, i grabbed his arm. "will i see you again?" there was longing in my voice and i suddenly became embarrassed. "soon," he responded and smiled at me. "is that a promise?" "Yes.i'll always watch over you." he dropped a kiss on my wet hair and left,disappearing quickly. the door opened and i saw the worried look on my brother and his friends' faces. they asked me a ton of questions but im hardly aware, for in my mind, im already planning when i would meet him, my vampire, my destined-to-be.
