Chapter 3 - Walked passed me

'I think this is it'

Looking at the huge mansion in front of her which has a vast garden that is beautiful as one could imagine. Stella thought this is the place where the note she is having is referring to.

The sun was about to set when she reached the mansion.

Unknowingly she felt like having a déjà vu like she had been her before with someone, but she didn't have any recollection of any memories of being here.  

Leaves and creepers decorated the gates. No one was around. Pushing the gate aside which made a crisper sound, Stella walked in.

Stella saw someone coming from inside the mansion. His eyes glance at her, she was going to offer a smile and ask if she was at the right place, but before she could do anything he just vanished from their and in the blink of eye he was in front of her.

"Who are you ?" He asked.

Stella couldn't process anything in her head he was so far away from her, but now he was standing right in front of her with his multicolor eyes that where so mesmerizing which could capture anyone. They seem softer than the ice-cold eyes of the guy that had saves her. His platinum colour hair where neatly pulled back.

"Can't you hear..? I know I am handsome, but you can't keep looking, so state your business?". He asked Stella again seeing her all clueless.

"I am looking for this address, am I at the right place?". He glanced at the note with Stella and nodded. 

"Who are you looking for?"

"I am here for Mrs. McCartney". Stella said 

"And may I know who are you?"

"I am Stella, her daughter"

"Here comes another one, uhhhh. Are you a moron to think anyone can come her declaring to be Mrs. McCartney daughter and enter this place, you should head back while I am being nice to you". He said.

"What do you mean, why will someone pretend to be me?". Stella ask totally confused.

"You should head back while I am being nice to you". He said, his aura become intimidating.

"You see I also have this letter why don't you check its authenticity by yourself then". Stella hastily brought the letter out and tried to negotiate.

He brought his hand ahead for the letter and Stella thinking it worked and gladly passed the letter over to him, but the next second regretted on what she did as he tore the letter in two pieces.

"Hey! How could you.....". Stella's already big eyes become wide open at this. She got ahead and snatched the pieces of letter out of his hand. At this his beautiful eyes narrowed at her.

Getting her attention back at the man from the letter. She looked up to him to only be shocked as he was pointing a sword at her.

'Where did it even came from?'. Stella thought.

"Hey, what are you? Is it a hidden camera prank or something? Well if it is than that's enough. Stop it right now." Stella said whatever that come to her mind first. Seeing no change in his expression Stella thought it's a trap coming here. She shouldn't have come here in the first place.

"It is getting serious now. You know what you are holding is dangerous so let's put it down, so we could talk calmly, okay?" Stella said.

Ignoring what Stella has to say he just pulled his hand backward in air to only to only bring it forward.

"Why?". 'Why is this happening, uggg. Just horrifying things keep happening to me', Stella thought.

First to follow this note to meet her parents to know what is going on that she had no clue about and before she could know, this was happening to her now.

He was just going to swap his sword forward, not knowing what to do Stella just took a step back a strong sense of protecting herself took over her and in no time she was in a bubble. Like how it happened back then.

'I am in bubble again, the same thing happen to me when someone in the middle of the night broked into the house.

And the next day got a letter in name of my mom at first I thought it was a prank pulled by someone, why would my mother and father contact me they had left me with grandma when I was just 7 year old. But as I started reading the letter it contains the weird incidence that happened to me that only my family knows about. The letter say I have to come here to the address to get the answer about what are the weird things that keeps goes on happening with me. So I took the gamble to come here.'

"Stephen stop it". Came a stern voice from afar.

Stella turned to where the voice come from. There were four people standing over there including her mother and father. Stella could never forget their face the way they just left her with all question in her head.

Without moving to the source of voice stephen put his hand down, the sword in his hand also got vanish in thin air.

The bubble around Stella dissapear too. They came closer to where they both were standing.

Stella couldn't guess what her father was thinking as he was having stoic expression which was hard to say and her mother was standing beside him with a shocked filled in her, wanting to say something but stop, and she schooled her expressions immediately. 

"Stephen, take her inside to Ayla". Stella's father said to the person who was going to swap her with his sword. 

"Okay, are you going to see Mr. Bolton?". The platinum hair guy, Stephen asked him.

"Yes, we are", was all that what Stella's father replied while leaving a sigh... at the end.

'Who is this Mr. Bolton, more important then me to them that they have to go immediately.' Stella thought.

"We have an urgent matter to solve, we will be back as soon as possible". Stella's father said looking at her and walk right passed her not waiting for any reply. Her mother was just looking at her not knowing what to say and then walked away and the other two people followed them.

'I believe we have met atleast after more than a decade , and they just walk passed me'. Stella staired at their retreating back. She felt from this moment onward her life would change, never being the same again.

"Don't worry I won't do it again. I was just confirming something, Follow me" Stephen said  thinking Stella was apprehensive by him, but little did he know that, that was not the case.

Clenching her bag Stella started following him while keeping some distance between them.
