Aura POV
"A tree house!" I shouted and Mr. Freaked out looked at me confusingly .
I pointed towards the light coming from the tree house and he looked at that direction.
"Follow me!" He said looking at the tree house.
Me and Mr. Freeked out rushed towards the tree house. As we neared it, there was a long way of bridge made of wood trunks of the trees. I kept a step on bridge and it started shaking. I had no idea if I was shaking or this bridge was but after a moment I realized that this bridge was shaking. It was very difficult to walk on the bridge and I even fell once but Mr. Freaked out helped me to get up and he held my hand through out the bridge. He even insisted on carrying me on his back but I rejected his offer by snapping at him saying I have legs and I can walk.
Somehow we reached the tree house. It was very big than I expected and was built very intellectually . I was walking a step ahead of him and he stopped me saying,
"Stay behind, it's not safe here!" I rolled my eyes and even took a step forward which irked and encouraged him to back me behind him by my wrist. I thought that he will leave my hand after I stayed behind but I was wrong as he never let go off my hand.
He carefully opened the door and thankfully it wasn't locked. He took slow steps inside the house holding my hand protectively in his. The tree house was empty and dark, After he made that there is no threat to us then he let go my hand and started looking around.
"How can we live here?" I said looking around the house. He remained silent and I moved forward opening the door which creaked and I stepped inside and looked around.
The room was literally filled with boxes, the furniture was literally falling apart. Dust floating every where in the room making me cough.
"You've got to be kidding me!
This place is dump !
There is no way I'm spending a night here!" I snapped at him and moved in front to open the door leading to the adjoining room.
A big mouse scampered across the floor! I screamed loudly and jumped on the near by couch looking horrid.
"That's just a mouse, that's not gonna eat you alive!" He said walking past me in the room.
"I'm not staying here! This place was so dirty and will fall down at any moment . " I complained him kneeling down the on the couch.
"Stop acting like a spoiled brat which obviously you are !" He said and I glared angrily at him saying,
I'm not!
"Yes, you are!" He stated as it is an universal truth.
I was about to say something but stopped when he said,
A little cleaning and it will all be fine!
"Who the hell is going to clean this shit?" I snapped at him angrily.
"You!" He said with a devilish smirk.
"What?
No way!
Never!" I said and sat on the couch which looked a bit tidy than others.
Never say never! He said winking at me. What was it?
Never say never?
Wasn't it Justin Bieber's song?
Does he listen to songs?
Does he sing?
Mr.Rockstar was saying something, but I can't hear what, as all my senses defeating me and I don't know when I dozed off to sleep on the couch.
I opened my eyes with the sun raising straight on me. I got off and Mr. Rockstar was no where in sight. I checked the tree house and I noticed that he was not in house.
Did he leave me alone in this jungle?.
Where did he go? I thought to myself and I was awestruck looking scene in front of me. The waterfalls, the flowers, the birds singing all made it beautiful in its way. Without thinking twice I ran towards the beautiful waterfall pulled my shirt and jeans and jumped in. The cool water made my body shiver but it felt good. I started playing with the water and there is something soothing about the cascading water. The water was crystal clear to see through the rocks inside. I was busy enjoying the nature's creation as I heard a amused chuckle behind me.
I turned back only to see Mr.Rockstar was gwaking at me.
"Why are you gwaking at me?" I asked feeling conscious.
I was gwaking Nature's creation
No sorry your parents creation ! He said with a wink looking at me not to nature which made me uncomfortable.
You parents must be beautiful! He said amusingly.
Why? I asked confused like why does he care if my parents are beautiful or not.
He didn't said a word but instead he looked at me with something in his eyes which I couldn't keep my finger on.
By the way black suits you better. He said and looking inside the water. I followed his look and my face was all red now as I got to know he was saying about my inner which was displayed to him by the crystal clear water.
"Shut up!" I said playfully and splashed water at Mr. Playful wink.
"Ohh, careful princess, don't push me to do what don't want to do !" He said with his hooded eyes looking under the water . I immediately regretted my act and his playful nature which only got out due to my silly act.
"I've bought some food!
Come let's fill our growling stomach !" he said and went towards the tree house. I quickly got off and wore my clothes which I left on the rock. I entered into the tree house and Mr. Playful wink was busy cooking something on the small fire of logs.
"What are you doing? " I asked nearing him.
"Cooking!" He said doing something in the logs.
"Can you cook?" I asked him amused.
" Off course I can!
Why did you ask?" He said taking out the fried potatoes into the canopy leaf.
"I thought you can only kill!" I snapped at him and his eyes turned into a dangerous darker shade matching the fire down in the log which made me immediately regret my words and I bit my tongue.
There was a silence between us expect the sounds coming from the stream and jungle.
"Eat it!" He said and handed me the fried potatoes in a leaf.
We both ate in silence. I took the first bite and started chewing it.
Before I ate half of a potato he completed all.
"After eating help me to clean this mess." He said and started dusting the tree house.
"How much time are we going to stay here? " I snapped at him.
"Until I get my phone signals." He said cleaning the floor.
"What?" I said confusingly. .
"Yes !" He said.
"When will that happen?" I said chewing the potato.
"May be next moment, may be after an hour , may be after one week, may be after one month or an year." He said and I was scared at the thought of being here for an year with Mr. Master chef.
With in few minutes, he completed all the cleaning work he walked towards me and asked,
"You are still eating ?
You didn't atleast completed half of what I gave to you.
Aren't they nice? " He asked looking at me.
"No! They are yummy !" I said chewing them.
"You are weird!" He said and went to search for signal with mobile showing in air.
After may be an hour, I completed all the potatoes he gave me and went outwards in search of him as I was all alone all the time when I was eating.
I was walking in the forest, I heard a sound and I turned around thinking it was Mr. Master chef. But there was no one. I increased my pace and sound of footsteps behind me increased with every step I took away from him.
I push through the leaves with no hesitation, I didn't bother looking behind as I know some one was following me.
I can hear him,
His ragged breathing,
His heavy footsteps . He is chasing me and he is more nearer to me. I stumbled over sticks and logs. My pants are ripped and dirty now. It feels like I've been running for hours though it was only few minutes. These woods seem endless. My legs started aching and I don't think I can run any longer. A branch hits me in the face and I scream in pain falling on the ground hitting my back on to the log of tree . I lost my breath from constant running and gasped for air but noting comes in.
"You can't run forever!" His raspy voice screams. I can sense from his voice that he is not too far away from me.
I gulped and got up from the ground with all the remaining strength . I quickly glanced around all directions in search of a way but everything in these woods looks the same. I shook my head as every second I wasted here he was getting more closer to me . I dashed to my right without thinking as the tears streamed from my eyes into my mouth making me hate it's saltiness. I swerve from one tree to other, through bush after Bush as it wasn't going to end .
Suddenly a massive tree root snatched my ankle and I fell on the ground screaming in pain and he caught me. I laid on the ground as my ankle was throbbing in pain and I was completely shivering.
"Who... Who.. are... You?" I chocked and started crawling away from him. He stood with his shoulders lifted, huffing and puffing. The man was in his early forties slightly balded and tattooed on his hands.
"Where is he?" He said and was about to reach me.
He?
Who is he ?
And For whom is he searching for?
I was about to open my mouth and ask him about ' He ' but closed when I heard a large thud sound.
