Chapter 24 - Am I a stranger ?

Felix P.O.V. 

"I'm so screwed! How is she gonna fall in love with me if I start losing her precious things?" I questioned myself in terror. In order to find her dog, I used my instincts. I heard the sound of the tires, water flowing deep down the woods, a mild thud which is quite unusual and a loud bark. Feeling relieved, I followed the bark and found her. Her leash got stuck in the bark of the broken tree. "There you go" I said to her as I picked her up. "What is your name?" I asked her stupidly and a memory played in my head.

"Quinn, what's it's name?" I asked her. "It's a she and her name is Pip" "Cute" "Isn't she?" she asked. "Well, not more than her owner" and she blushed. I smiled at the effect, I had on her. God, I seriously can't take the distance between us! I want to hold her hand in mine forever but that happens only when she calls me hers. I don't know how long it will take to make her love me and I hope it's soon. "You can call me Merida" she said as she pulled me out of my thoughts. I nodded and stared at the space ahead of me. I always called her Merida in her past incarnations and she liked it. "Okay Merida" I smiled contently as she asked me to call her that way, knowing I was just few steps in reaching our love.

I ran fast enough to reach her only to find out she wasn't there. So, I tied Pip's leash in a bench and started to walk in the direction she went. I heard her heartbeat and to be honest, they were my favourite sound and will be in my entire life. When I turned around, I saw someone lying on the ground. "What the heck is that girl doing down there" I thought. Where is Merida? I ran more in that direction to find her scent but when the fragrance came from the opposite direction, I stopped in my tracks. Realization slapped me hard when I saw who that person was. 

Terror filled my brain as the person turned out to be my Merida. "Merida, wake up, wake up.... please!" I cried out. My heart broke when I had to remain silent to check her heartbeat. But the sound calmed me down. "She is alive" I whispered. Immediately, I pulled her up in my arms, the way I always longed for but certainly not in this condition. "I swear if something happens to her, I won't be able to forgive myself" I said with guilt. I didn't care about the people around us as I ran all the way to the hospital. "Doctor!" I yelled, ignoring the stares I got from the people in the lobby. I dashed through the door and spotted the doctor. "Please can you treat her?" I asked the lady as I placed Merida safely on the bed. 

She quickly took her stethoscope and checked her pulse. "You stay outside, please" she said. I nodded and left the room. After sometime, she came out  and asked me, "Patient's name?" "It's Mer- I mean, Quinn Merida Luke and her age is 17" I additionally added it. "Okay... Your relation with her?" "Boyfriend" my mind commented. "I'm her friend, ma'am" I said politely. "Okay so please inform their parents that you have admitted her, here" "Is something serious?" I panicked. "I hope no..." she pulled her eyebrows. "But I still need to do a complete check up" she assured me. "Okay, thank you ma'am" I said a bit a relieved. "Ms. Hart" she smiled as she closed the door.

"Itherael" I whispered. "I know you can hear me" I said silently. "If Azrael's the one causing this, then please tell him to stop" I huffed. "You aren't following the rules" "It is not I" came the booming voice. "Then?" I questioned him. "It was her fate that pulled her into this condition" Itherael said. I looked at him in confusion. He floated in the air with majestic pure white wings and a golden robe. He looked at me sadly as he said, "Time is running my friend..." his voice boomed in my head. "Try to save her as fast as you can" I placed my head in my hands as I processed what Itherael had said. "Time is running... Her fate pulled her into this condition?" If what he said was the truth, then has that bastard entered her life again?

"Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you, Luke 6:28" this verse was pinned up on the board. "Please... forgive him" she cried out in pain. Her face and her dress was coated with blood heck, it was dripping on mine too, as if I would care. I tried to be strong for her but she decided her own fate. It was all because of that lifeless body lying next to her. That bastard!! "I'm sorry...I, I couldn't fix u-up those pieces" she voiced out in laboured pain as her lovely mouth was bleeding. It's the ninth time she's saying this, in her nine lives. I knew this would fall upon her the instant, she left with him in his car. "Sshh, it's okay" I cooed, as tears fell down on my cheeks. If she hadn't got in his damn car... 

She laid on my laps and pulled my collar weakly and whispered, "Please lead me to you, next time. Please don't give upon us" and she breathed her last breath. If it wasn't for the blood, everyone would think that she was staring out in space while thinking hard on something. But, this is reality.... and it hurts to see her like this. I couldn't bear the heaviness in my chest and swallowing this horrific scene was too difficult. Why should I witness everything? "NO!!" I cried out in agony as I hugged her, now lifeless body. Every time she died, it broke me into pieces and it would hurt like hell. If I tried a little more, she would have been alive. She would have lived... Definitely.... I kissed her forehead one last time and closed her eyes. 

"Quinn's friend" someone called out as they pulled me from my memories of Merida's past incarnation. I wiped my tears with the sleeves of my jacket. "It's me" I said as I stood up and the nurse asked me to follow her. When I went inside, I met doctor Hart sitting behind her desk and jot down something. "Doctor" I called out. "Please sit" she insisted and I felt uneasy due to the atmosphere of too much exposure to blood. "Stay calm and don't breathe" I commanded my brain. "There's nothing wrong to your except the fact that she is in stress. So I had to sedate Fluoxetine to her, so that she can rest peacefully for awhile" she said. "Okay" "So did you inform her parents?" she asked me. "No, but I'm gonna do it now" "Okay" she said. 

Ten minutes later, her parents came rushing in with million questions. "How is she?" "Is she alright now?" "Can we see her?" Merida's mum asked. "If she complains anything about you, then be ready for your funeral!" her dad said. Man, her dad is scary with his bulk figure. I spoke up, "Ma'am, now she is alright and you can see her" She smiled smiled at me and I showed her the room. Then I stopped Merida's dad from going inside. "What do you want boy?" he asked me. "Sir, believe me. I didn't do anything wrong to her and wouldn't allow anything to touch her too. While we were walking to search her dog, she fainted on the way. So, I immediately admitted her here and what the doctor said, shocked me" 

I paused to take a breath and looked anxious towards me. "Is something serious?" "No sir. It's just that she is so stressed these days and the doctor had to sedate her" He looked relieved, "Oh thank goodness" he said. "What is wrong with her sir? Is something troubling her?" I asked him. I waited patiently as I saw the wheels turn inside his head. "Young man, that is her secret to share and she would decide what to do with it... You don't go forcing her to say it to you" he said it with a smile except for the last line, "In fact you are nothing to her and don't bother to ask about her secret" in gritted teeth. He went passed me and the door slammed shut. 

Am I a stranger? But... but, she asked me to call her Merida, am I right? "Please don't give up on us" the voice in my head begged me. "I will not give up on us" I said to no one and felt determined as I walked away from the hospital. I will fight anyone who comes my way. But one thing was nagging my mind from the first... How the hell was he able to communicate to my Merida?
