Meanwhile, inside the chamber, Bella was clutching the edges of her dress as felt a painful squeeze in her heart when she remembered his devastated expression.
Sirena looked at Bella's pale clenched fists and said softly, "Go and talk to him. You were in the wrong."
Sirena's words brought Bella out of her trance and her body moved on its own as she rushed towards the door, to chase after Dylan.
She looked around trying to find him but frowned when she heard a voice from behind.
"He left." Bella heard a woman speak, she turned around and found Cara walking towards her.
" Bella?" Cara called out looking at the woman before her. The woman in front of her had jet black hair. Now that she was standing close to her, Cara couldn't help but praise this woman's beauty in her heart. Her waist-length hair, her thick lashes, and even her eyebrows were jet black in color. Not to mention those gorgeous eyes of hers. No wonder, everyone believed those rumors. Even she was fooled by her beauty and doubted Gabriel for having an affair. Thankfully, it was just a rumor.
"Hey there," Bella said, and Cara nodded with a smile as if acknowledging her greeting. Bella smiled back and asked, "Did you see him leave?"
" Yeah, I saw him leave, and is he Dylan?" Cara nodded and asked back. She looked at Bella's tear strained face and frowned.
"Are you okay?" Cara questioned, a hint of worry evident in her voice and Bella smiled, again nodding her head.
"I am fine. It's just, we had a fight." Bella answered, she then looked at Cara with a smile and continued, " I am sorry. Those rumors were all fabricated. And everything was done by us, just to get you guys here. Gabriel didn't know anything, So, don't be angry with him."
"Don't worry, he explained to me already and we are fine now. But, what do you mean, you staged everything just to get us here?" Cara asked with a frown.
Bella smiled, " Yeah, It's time for you guys to awaken your powers. But you guys were being stubborn and were not accepting the reality. So, we had no choice but to plan all that stuff. And not to mention, convincing your friend to go on a free vacation was one hell of a task. I must say."
Hearing her words, Cara laughed as she remembered how Sedna reacted when she was offered to travel for free. [ I think it's fake. There is no way they would send us on such an expensive vacation.]
[ It's a trap. Are they organ traffickers? Or Are they human traffickers?]
[ I am damn sure! They are human traffickers. They wanna trick us and then smuggle us somewhere.]
[ Cara! Are you even listening to me?]
[ Does it make any sense? This vacation is so expensive. And who sends strangers on such a luxurious trip? Woah!!! Are they sick?]
Sedna created a lot of fuss at that time when she was offered to go on an expensive vacation. She refused to believe it no matter what. At last, she was forced to accept it by Cara, who was in her post-break-up depression at that time.
"She didn't believe that someone would send her on such a good trip and freaked out. It was hella funny." Cara sniggered as thought about her crazy best friend.
" Would you believe me, if I say Sedna even reported that tourist company for fraud? I must say. She's still crazy as ever." Bella felt nostalgic as she thought about the past.
Cara pursed her lips and asked, "So, you knew her from the past? I mean... her past life?"
Bella looked at Cara with a smile and said, "Now that you know that you guys are not some normal humans, I guess its okay to know a little about your past life. She paused and then continued, "We were friends. You, me, Sedna, Aster and a few others. More than us, Sedna and Aster used to create a lot of trouble for everyone. That bastard Aster always picks fights with Gabriel and Hazel. And Sedna, that brat used to be a big bully, teasing and flirting with every handsome guy she comes across. And you, you were no lesser than her, always drooling at good-looking men and making Gabriel angry all the time. You might not remember now but, don't worry, You will remember everything soon."
"But, Gabriel doesn't seem to remember me either..." Cara asked as brows furrowed with confusion.
Bella nodded, "That's because of a curse. But, don't worry, I don't know what happened at the last but just remember that Gabriel loved you with all his heart. He still fell in love with you even though he doesn't remember you."
Hearing her words, Cara felt her eyes well with tears as she smiled. A warm feeling enveloped her heart as tears fell from her eyes. She then looked at Bella and found the latter smiling at her.
" I know you might be feeling a little confused but wait a little more. Lets talk about everything when everyone gathers." Bella said as she moved. She hugged Cara and sighed softly, feeling the latter relax in her arms and hugging her back.
"Everything is going to be okay." Bella muttered, as she thought of how messy the whole situation was and she could see how Cara was feeling at the moment. Confusion, anger, sadness, helplessness all these negative emotions were gripping Cara's heart and Bella could see it. She only hoped that everything would be over quickly but their reality was far from the fantasy. She knew, things were not at all simple and they had to face a far more cruel situations in the future. In fact, she knew that, this is just the beginning.
