Jason's P.O.V cont....(13 years ago)
i walked into our castle and panicked as i saw a figure at the front door, but luckily, it was my grandfather
"grandpa" i smiled at him
"jason, where are you coming from so late at night?'' grandfather asked worriedly
"i just went for a stroll, is mom and dad back?'' i asked eagerly
"No, there are not" grandfather replied and i sighed in relief
i suddenly recalled something and brought out the star object from my hand bag
"Look what i found grandpa! isn't it beautiful?" i beamed excitedly and grandfather collected the item
"it is, where did you find this?" grandfather asked, scanning the star object
"well, i found it in a meadow around the amazon forest side" i replied and grandfather frowned
"the last time i checked, there is no meadow around the amazon forest" grandfather said
"yeah right, i was surprised too" i said
"did you run into a wild animal? how did you get injured?" grandfather suddenly asked and i flashed him a forced smile as usual
"I'm fine grandpa, its just a scratch" i said, hiding my hand behind
"but what i saw is a deep cut" grandfather said worriedly
"I'm fine, really. I'd return to my room now, max would be worried" i said
"hmm, you should go" grandfather said and i dashed upstairs
"young master! where did you really go? you told me you won't stay out long" max said worriedly
"I'm sorry for worrying you, the atmosphere was too good that i dozed off behind a rock and woke up only few minutes ago, you know I've never been so late hun" i said apologetically and max nodded
"alright, I'd ask the Butler to bring your dinner to your room" max said
"okay, I'd go freshen up in the meanwhile" i said and walked into my room
few days later~~
My mind kept drifting to the girl that came to my rescue in the meadow
every part of me wanted to see her again and thank her for the last time but I've not been able to step out as my dad and mom have been working from home but today, they were invited to a business seminar and they'd only return after two days
i dressed up excitedly while whistling my favorite song, i grabbed my packed hand bag and lunged outside
"please, don't stay out long, we aren't certain about mr max and your mom's movement yet" Max said and i nodded
"i understand, I'd return as soon as i check out the beautiful garden i spotted, or do you want to tag along this time around?" i asked
"yes, but i should stay behind, in case master and mistress return" Max said
"Alright then, bye" i waved at him and dashed off
~~
The breeze was so cool that i had to close my eyes for a moment
i breathed in the fresh air and then breathed it out.
It was so soothing
i wish everyday weather is like this, or perhaps, maybe this garden is just one of a kind
i stepped inside the ever green garden and scanned the area, i saw a signboard which had EVE'S GARDEN boldly written on it
'oh, so it's called eve's garden' i thought aloud and continued scanning everywhere. Just then my gaze landed on her!...She sat at the corner of a tree branch,her petite figure leaning against the wood sill deeply immersed in thoughts.
She had an erect figure even though she was petite. Her arms were gently folded and her legs were folded crossly.
Her bosom was well matured for her age. Her face showing she was lost in thoughts. Her face was calm and a slight smile spread across her face.
"hey you there!" i called out excitedly but she didn't heard me so i walked towards her and hollered over my voice
"Hi sparkling blue eyes! we meet again!" i said with a hearty smile and she jilted out of her thought and eyed me
"Took you long enough" she said and my smile widened
"I couldn't come out for a few days because my parent were around, if i had known i'd meet you here, maybe i would have taken the risk and sneak out" i said and she frowned
"your parent locks you up too?" she asked eagerly
"wait, your parent also locks you up?" i asked and she sighed "well, don't you think we are destined to meet each other? Once upon a girl and boy who gets locked up but always sneaked out and ended up meeting" i said dramatically and she smiled
"Why do your parent lock you up?" she asked
"i always wonder, maybe i wouldn't sneak out like this if i knew why, what about you?" i asked and she shrugged indifferently
"i dont know, their reason is so foolish" she said
"what is it?" i asked eagerly
"They say I'm mysterious because I'm the only one who is a human in our kingdom, I'm supposed to be a supernatural being who does not have a heart, isn't that rubbish?" she scoffed and i smiled
"well I'm sure your parent are just scared" i said
"Scared? scared of what?" she asked
"They are scared that you are different" i said and she sighed gently
"probably" she said "do you want to come up here?" she asked and i nodded "grab my hand" she said and i obliged but just as she was about pulling me up, we started hearing some masculine voices
"she should be on one of the trees" one of the men said
"your highness! your highness please come out" the other men called out
''you hide here, don't come out unless I leave with them, if a human is found here, you will get killed for sure" she said and hopped down from the tree
~
"I haven't even spent one hour outside" she complained to the men
"you are not allowed to come outside at all your highness" the first man said
"I've heard that millions of times but i would never oblige to that, now let's go" she said and the men in guard's clothing trailed behind her
"oh, so she's a princess in her kingdom..." i thought aloud and sighed "i really wanted to climb the tree with her" i sighed disappointedly and returned home
