Scarlett: The Crimson Bride CHAP. TEN—VANILLA.
『.* +• ᴄʜᴀᴘ.ᴛᴇɴ• *.+』 THE REST OF THE DAY PASSED more smoothly than Scarlett expected. When school was out, she met up with Shawn and the three geeks, Maddie, Dorian, and Zachary. Now that they sat together in the cafeteria twice, they had begun to call each other as friends. As the students walked out into the schoolyards in their groups, the Queenz walked past them as they headed towards their convertible. They blasted some loud music and the last thing they hollered before they drove off was; "Party House!" "Man, I wish I was invited." Maddie audibly sighed. "Me too," Zack stated. The dread-locked-haired teen however shrugged, "What's so grand about the Party House? All they do is just drink overage alcohol, take prescription medicine, and have orgies. That place is a cesspool of lecherous activity and STDs." "But they have the best parties in all of Pastonville," Maddie said. "And I've always...wanted to make out with a guy." "Huh, I wouldn't have known about that because Ka

『.*+ • ᴄʜᴀᴘ.ᴇʟᴇᴠᴇɴ• *+.』 ZAYNE CARRIED KAYLEY TOWARDS THE FOREST. Kayley was too drunk to realise how dark the forest was getting. She couldn't even see the trees far ahead of her. And how she was letting a complete stranger help her. But she was too swooned by his handsome face to think he had any dark intentions. "Wow dude, I didn't think you were 'that' cold. Your neck is freezing." Kayley commented after wrapping her arms around his neck for support. "I forgot my scarf. But the cold doesn't faze me anyway." "Yeah; but you're like...really cold. Are you even alive?" Zayne chuckled and shrugged her statement. "I'm pretty much alive as you can see. So what do you do, Kayley?" "Why do you wanna know?" "I like to know more about my foo--...the friends I meet wherever I go," he corrected himself. "Well...I'm still in high school. head cheerleader, running for class president. And THE hottest girl in this town." "Heh, guess I'm a lucky guy." Zayne hummed. He continued to walk in
Scarlett: The Crimson Bride CHAP. TWELVE—LOVE FANGS.
『.*+ • ᴄʜᴀᴘ.ᴛᴡᴇʟᴠᴇ• *+.』 "HOW LOVELY FOR SHAWN TO FIND A TUTOR FOR PHYSICS," said Mr. Ashton. Scarlett and her uncle were at the doorstep of Shawn's house. The person who answered first was Shawn's dad, 'Bryce'. He was a taller buffer version of his son. Same dark hair, same brown eyes. With a manly beard and wearing a grey shirt that didn't fit his biceps. He was taller than Joshua, considering he looked a like shrimp compared to the man before him. He even had a smell of musk around him. Bryce had a utility belt around his waist, wearing dark blue denim and dark boots, that seemed like it was someone working for law enforcement. "No problem. I don't mind if she helped him out," said Josh. "Yeah, Shawn did need the help. He's been struggling on that topic for so long. I don't know the things kids learn these days." "Heh, I hear you," Josh chuckled before turning to his red-headed niece. "Remember, 8pm." "Yes, Uncle Josh." "Good." He nodded back at Bryce before letting her go
Scarlett: The Crimson Bride CHAP. THIRTEEN—ERASED MEMORIES.
『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ.ᴛʜɪʀᴛᴇᴇɴ + •*.』 ~FRIDAY "JAGGER HIMSELF IS HERE!? SERIOUSLY?!" Fortune shrieked. "Quiet, Miss Fortune. You don't want anyone outside the office to hear," Ada hushed. She and her students, except for Scarlett, resided in Principal Garrix's office. Gadiel, Fortune, and Ada were the only ones standing up. Nicolai and Sapphire sat together on one of the principal's sofas, while Danté slouched on the other. The Principal himself sat at his office chair in front of his large desk. His hands tented together in front of his face while the pale cloudy light from the window reflected onto his glasses. Surrounding them were bookshelves with a plethora of book genres with spine colours from maroon to moss green. Next to the sulphur yellow-eyed Principal, was Aisha. "Are you sure you saw Jagger?" Sapphire asked. "Yes, and h-he killed Jamie," the young girl shuddered, the memory of his death repeating in a loop in her head. The ambiance was getting quiet. Jamie was one of them, th

『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ.ꜰᴏᴜʀᴛᴇᴇɴ + •*.』 "OKAY, THIS IS WEIRD, WHAT'S...GOING ON?" Scarlett muttered. "It's like Kayley's been erased from everywhere...and everyone." This was more than weird. Yesterday, Kayley was there, the most popular girl in school. High ranked and bowed down before. Next thing, no one knows her. Which was the epitome of weirdness in Scarlett's point of view. She was getting a little creeped out by the whole situation. But Kairos looked around with a cool and collected energy, while her carroty orange eyes began to glisten. 'Something definitely happened. This can't be normal. Unless...could it be the work of... ...Mythic magic?' Everyone had no recall of Kayley. So this was the work of magic, that was what Kairos thought. 'If only mortals get affected by 'this' kind of magic, then...' Kairos then looked over to Scarlett, who was unaffected by all the amnesia. But Scarlett was a mortal like everyone else in the school, she should've gotten affected. Right? 'Unless...'
Scarlett: The Crimson Bride CHAP. FIFTEEN—MIRAGES.
『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ꜰɪꜰᴛᴇᴇɴ + •*.』 ~FRIDAY NIGHT BACK HOME, SCARLETT STOOD RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER BATHROOM MIRROR, opening her mouth wide. She hasn't had fangs sharpening out today. And no strange vanilla cravings either. She expected them to peek out, yet nothing happened. Her injuries were gone too, as if she was never got pricked by her fangs. Her skin was a colour filter paler than before now, almost a creamy tone. She was beginning to think she was going out of her mind. 'This doesn't make any sense. Why is this happening to me?' Scarlett didn't know what to think of it. But how was she turning into a Vampire, she wasn't bit and...there's no sign of anything. The only thing was to think she was imagining the whole thing, considering Vampires don't exist. That could be it. Yeah. It had to! But how could she, and to what Kairos' words said earlier? The same words were looping in her mind. The whole town wasn't all that it seemed. That made Scarlett think otherwise. She wondered if her

『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ.ꜱɪxᴛᴇᴇɴ + •*.』 "YOU SAW...YOUR MOTHER?" Josh sat by Scarlett's bed. She just had a quick meltdown after just having that vision, so he laid her down in her bedroom. The fairy lights up top her bed still lit. She was still shook and weak from thinking about it. Anything that involved her mother was always the most sensitive topic. She has never once met her mother in her whole life. But this time, she believed she felt her, that she was in Aurora's point of view. Joshua was stricken by the new information like a bash to the head. 'So she saw her mother's memories. This could mean only one thing...' "Umm, Scarlett? Can you describe what you saw...in that vision?" He asked softly. Scarlett tightened her hug on one of her pillows, her eyes still watery as the memory kept going on a loop. "I...I was Her. I was Mom." She rasped out before taking a deep breath. "I---she was running in a winter forest. But...she was heavily pregnant, with me. You were there too." "Y-you were
Scarlett: The Crimson Bride CHAP. SEVENTEEN—MORNING TALK.
『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ꜱᴇᴠᴇɴᴛᴇᴇɴ + •*.』 ~SATURDAY, 3 DAYS LEFT... Scarlett woke up to a rather bright weekend morning. It has almost been a week in Pastonville. And after one whole night of emotions, discovering that Vampire genes ran in her DNA all along, and that her mother and uncle were once humans from the 15th century, Scarlett somewhat felt a sense of...relief. Oddly. It wasn't a feeling she should feel in the shit she's going through right now. She's already felt fear, shock, anger, sadness, and but mostly bewilderment - now, she didn't have those feelings anymore. She felt... a little numb. The clouds outside her bedroom window continued to plague the skies but the sun's rays were still strong. But then Scarlett realised; there were still holes of her origins that were felt to be covered. She still doesn't clearly know who Jagger is or why he wants her. There's a whole lot that she doesn't know about herself, or the world that she never noticed. 'I wonder what I can do now that I'

『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛʜɪʀᴛʏ ɴɪɴᴇ + •*.』SCARLETT AND ZAYNE LATER ARRIVED BACK AT THE MOTEL.With the outside constantly sprinkling with mid-morning rain, the two Vampires came back as wet as ever. So far, the panorama was left just the way it was. The corpses lying bloodless in the diner and not a single other living soul left.Zayne carried Scarlett up to their room and placed her down on top. Her wet shirt was rinsed away of blood residue by the drizzle, despite water stuck around her ginger red hair, her bloodshot ocean eyes were still distant and distraught. What Zayne told her, made her unsure of herself. Of her control toward her Vampiric tendencies.She massacred a whole family diner. She was never going to live it down."Go clean yourself up first," he said to her, his voice managed to get to her softly. The gingerette kept herself shut and shuffled her towards the small bathroom. She didn't have the sense of running away anymore, if she did - he'd still catch her again. The Alpha expla

『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛʜɪʀᴛʏ ᴇɪɢʜᴛ + •*.』DWELLERS FROM THE REALM OUT OF TIME ALL KNEEL BEFORE THE WRATH OF THE VAMPIRE KING. The continuously angry clouds enveloped the skies of the malevolent castle, with the aftermath of thunderclaps and blazing storms.The Paradoxical Medieval Realm. Where all the Dark Mythics were exiled from the main timeline. A world trapped forever in the daytime. Leaving all of them to char away by the sun or starve to death without the taste of human flesh and fluid. An ultimate punishment to those who would oppose humanity. Crafted from the last of Merlin's attempt to protect the earth from their bites.Especially from one being in particular."PLEASE! PLEASE, NOOO!" A scream of a young woman echoed in the dead halls. A pair of male Betas yanked her with the shackles of the chains to her arms and legs. She dragged down the elegant red carpets of the castle, adorned in a soft carmine evening dress. Red is the color of royalty amongst Vampires. The most regal and seduc
Scarlett: The Crimson Bride CHAP. THIRTY SEVEN—SEPARATION AND DEVASTATION.
『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛʜɪʀᴛʏ ꜱᴇᴠᴇɴ + •*.』 SUNRISE WAS ALMOST YONDER. Henry Garrix and Kairos Finnegan were the first to arrive at the location. The petrichoral air peppered around them with wet dew and needles of late autumn pine falling over their heads. The nighttime was losing its haunted flare. The creeping star was about setting out from the horizon, but lucky for the Alpha Vampire since the trees and steeps of Palisade Hill made a dry comfortable shade over him and the old wooden cabin. A quiet breeze brushed over their hairs with brown leaves swept away elsewhere. A door was kicked open from the inside and Zayne walked out of the cabin to the porch. His blood-stained shirt was filly unbuttoned but he didn't care, the side of his fangs pricked the spongy end of a cigarette. He raised his signature devil grin as soon as he caught the Wizard and Nymph-let Halfling. But faded when he realised his gingerette mate was nowhere in sight. "I don't see her." "Where's Kayley, you bastard?!" Ka

『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛʜɪʀᴛʏ ꜱɪx + •*.』 "V-VV-VAMPIRE!" THE GEEKS SCOOTED AWAY IN COMPLETE FRIGHT AS FORTUNE MARCHED CLOSER TO THEM. Maddie and Dorian used Zack as their shield while the red-eyed Beta sterned at them coldly. "Take Zack first. I don't want my blood sucked out," Dorian negotiated. "Some friend are you?!" The geeky blonde scowled. "You're the one who brought us out here, you had it coming!" Maddie countered. "Besides, I'd rather be a Werewolf than a bloodsucker! N-no offense!" She stuttered back at the Vampire until their backs were met by a tree trunk. "Please don't suck our blood." "Maybe I will..." Fortune smirked, she could practically hear the pumping of their hearts from the soles of her sensitive feet. "You know all our secrets. So we can't have any human witnesses." She licked her fanged lips savagely as the aroma of blood wavered into her nostrils. Maddie looked like she was going to cry, Zack was shaking in his pant-peed onesie, and Dorian yet couldn't pull a ge
Scarlett: The Crimson Bride CHAP. THIRTY FIVE—CAUGHT ON CAMERA.
『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛʜɪʀᴛʏ ꜰɪᴠᴇ + •*.』 "ARE WE SERIOUSLY DOING THIS?" MADDIE REPEATED. Wearing her woolen maroon red sweater and early morning air brushing on her frizzy hair, Maddie tucked her hands within her sweater away from the morning autumn cold. Dorian wore a dark blue gown with his pajamas inside. As he yawned passively, he was beginning to contemplate that he shouldn't have done what Zachary has just told him. He would've been better off in bed, with his imagination picturing a rather fantastic dream. But instead, he's outside near the forest downhill, at 2:00 am. But that's what Dorian is, a good friend. "What's t-taking him so gosh darn long, my body is f-fr-freezing!" Maddie shivered, the sweater didn't seem to justify against the lower cold air. She was beginning to regret not grabbing her blanket at the last minute. The two have been out for almost 20 minutes. It usually takes Zach 30 minutes to reach them past Palisade Hill, but their patience was running a lot thinner. "H

『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛʜɪʀᴛʏ ꜰᴏᴜʀ + •*.』~ONE HOUR EARLIER...ZACHARY JOLTED UP SOON AFTER HE AWOKE TO THE SHATTERING SOUND OF HIS WINDOW SILL."Woah! What the heck was that??" He laggardly got up from his bed and yawned without control. He thought he heard something outside just before he awoke. A loud shrill of some kind must've caused the windows to crack.He opened his bedroom window to peer out at the street. He expected everyone to be alarmed by the cracks and shatters in their windows. Zack grabbed his phone and tried to dial Dorian. While the phone was left ringing, he peeked out at the streets, it was completely deserted. With only the street lights still operating and luminating the pavement road. The nerdy blonde touched the pane but then saw what he thought he couldn't believe with his very own eyes.The cracks, suddenly repaired themselves and vanished - as if they never existed. His eyes stalked with absolute bewilderment.The cracks! The cracks fixed themselves in his bedroom wind
Scarlett: The Crimson Bride CHAP. THIRTY THREE—REUNION.
『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛʜɪʀᴛʏ ᴛʜʀᴇᴇ+ •*.』THE RED AURA AROUND SCARLETT'S SKIN LESSENED INTO A FAINT STRAWBERRY GLOW.She manifested a pleasant smile from the scrunched look of hate she displayed on everyone before. The destruction around them ceased at a standstill. The debris had fallen back to the ground as soon as Shawn returned the same soft gesture at him. He remained floating in the air under Scarlett's control. It was like the hurricane came and suddenly just dissipated away on its own."Okay?? What's going on?" Danté intruded."I...have not the slightest clue." Nicolai retorted."Scarlett? Is that you?" Joshua walked forward, but as he did, her red eyes flared at his presence. Her hair rose alarmed before growling."Woah there! That's your Uncle!" Shawn held her shoulders back. Scarlett softly grasped onto Shawn and melted into his embrace. He could help but imagine what he heard, he might've heard her even...purr like a cuddled-up house cat. "Do you see that? It's like Scarlett only want
Scarlett: The Crimson Bride CHAP. THIRTY TWO—YOUR ONE, YOUR MATE.
『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛʜɪʀᴛʏ ᴛᴡᴏ + •*.』"SCARLETT!" AURORA HURRIED TOWARDS THE EDGE OF THE GORGE.Once she reached there, her breath hefted with relief, seeing her daughter latching onto a vine, with a lot of strength she got. "Uhh...first time for everything?" Scarlett quipped."Hehe...you have your father's joking habit," Aurora chuckled before kneeling on the grass to reach out to her."No, I got it!" Scarlett ensured and sunk her fingers against the hard rock, clawing it deep with power and climbing her way to the top."You were close. But you'll get there. It took me a few years to learn my Vampirism."The teen sighed, dusting the soil off her trousers and between her fingers. Aurora casually sauntered to the nearest pine, as she waited for her daughter. "So you said you wanted to show me something?""Come on. We're not far." The two dashed into the forest once again.After a while, they stopped and opened to an old-timey village, that looked like an old Dutch country town. The villagers on

『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛʜɪʀᴛʏ ᴏɴᴇ + •*.』 PEPPY WAVES OF LAUGHTER ECHOED IN THE CLEARING. It was a beautiful sunny day in the forest. Two bodies lay against the softness of the grass, dandelions whisked away into the Spring seasonal air as they rolled around together. The man and the woman enjoyed each other's side, happily in love. The woman wore an oversized flowery dress, while the man in a casual buttoned blue t-shirt and jeans. Scarlett watched the couple from afar, she didn't know how she ended up there. She couldn't remember the events before or wearing the red spaghetti strap dress. Her ginger red hair moved with the direction of the wind as she was lost in confusion. The couple looked awfully in love, yet nostalgic. Especially the woman. "Woah, careful now. I don't wanna squish you under my weight," the man chuckled. "I'm fine." The woman pressed her lips against his one more time before he prepped her body up onto his lap. Her arms lovingly wrapped around his neck their noses fain
