Scarlett: The Crimson Bride CHAP. TWENTY FOUR—THE MEETINGS.
『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛᴡᴇɴᴛʏ ꜰᴏᴜʀ + •*.』 AFTER A MINUTE OF RECOVERING FROM HER HAZY COLLAPSE, SCARLETT REMAINED STAGGERED ON HER BED. Her mind had to re-adjust from the previous vestige she just had. It was an intriguing yet strange memory of her mother's past. And it washed over her like some fever dream. "You alright? Do you need anything? Water maybe?" Joshua asked with a worried parental tone. Her body flinched just hearing his voice, when she had previously heard it in a merciless and evil tone, like the devil. It made her question if his sight on humans was different today "No. I'm...fine. What time is it?" "2:00 am. You were out for a very long time. You even had a human fever. But..." he reached his cold hand in to check her temperature from her forehead. "You seem up to normal, well...for a Vampire." Scarlett consciously scooted away from her uncle and knitted her hands together. Shawn and Kairos pondered at the scene before looking at each other. "I...had another vestige of Mom's

『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛᴡᴇɴᴛʏ ꜰɪᴠᴇ + •*.』 ~THE VERY MORNING... Scarlett's 18th birthday was on the coming Tuesday. And she was getting scared by the second. She couldn't sleep throughout the entire early Sunday morning. She wasn't sure if she was sleepy anymore. Maybe her Vampirism was already starting to change her state of sleep, now she won't have dreams anymore. The only thing she will probably have are her mother's memories from now on. And what Garrix said stuck to her. "Simple. We help Scarlett control her abilities and let her fight off Jagger." Even though Kairos and Shawn explained what happened to her, she still couldn't get through to herself that she had abilities from not being a Vampire. But a powerful being that possessed mystical abilities that differed herself from humans and Mythic. The Crimson Bride. Scarlett still hasn't grasped all this knowledge yet. Her head rested on the soft pillows of the bed as she reminded her back to earlier. _________________________________

『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛᴡᴇɴᴛʏ ꜱɪx + •*. 』 ZAYNE COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.Kayley's blood wasn't working for him anymore. He didn't want it, the taste he felt was almost equivalent to tar. But her blood was the same as before. He wasn't picky on what type he liked but he had favorites from time to time. His body just...refused to have it now all of a sudden. He dropped Kayley onto the bed and dashed outside the cabin to puke out all the red fluids. This made no sense. Why was his body refusing to drink? He slammed his fist against tree bark and growled lowly. "Dammit." His other hand brushed over his silver short hair before lowering it to his cheek, smearing away Kayley's blood from his lips. This has never before happened in his half-millennium as an Alpha Vampire. First, he refrained from finishing off Kayley because of a sudden conscious to leave her alone. Now, this. "What the heck...is going on with me?" Was her blood type not to his liking anymore? Maybe...maybe he needed something else

『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛᴡᴇɴᴛʏ ꜱᴇᴠᴇɴ •*+.』 JOSHUA PERCHED ON A ROCKY CLIFF OVER PALISADE HILL. The forest around him was completely silent. His lips were stained in squirrel blood as he took his time to calm his anger while having the rodent's fluids. He's been outside since that night, it's probably been almost 10 hours since he's been staring at the exact same view. Joshua didn't really concern himself with time at the moment. He figured the mountainous views of Pastonville would ease his nerves. It was one of the best views in the whole town. Originally founded by him and his twin sister when they were little. He could still envision the memory of once long ago. The only difference was the cliff wasn't smaller as it was. Centuries of rock rotted away into the plunge pool below, yet the cliff however still looked the same. Joshua picked up a stone from the rock as vivid memories of his ten-year-old self throwing a rock out to the chasm water below. There were days that he wished Aurora was s

『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛᴡᴇɴᴛʏ ᴇɪɢʜᴛ+ •*.』 SCARLETT GROWLED AS HER OCEANIC EYES WERE ENGULFED INTO BLOODSHOT FIERY RED ORBS. Her fangs glistened like bright pearls, her tongue gliding over them with a pang of ravenous hunger. Her pace of breath was deep and hoarse. Her red locks snaked in the air. And boy did she look hungry. Joshua slowly gulped, having a slight fear of his niece's part Vamp side manifesting before him. "Oh boy. Her demon side came to the party pretty early..." he quipped. She stood a sluggish step forward while Joshua took one back, the earth below her feet began to grumble and creak. Even the atmosphere felt hard to breathe for Joshua's human side, knowing it was all her doing. "Scarlett, sweetheart. You can control your half side again, right?" He winced, hoping that his niece behind her Vampire side can hear him. Scarlett stopped at her step and plaited a confused look. "I'm sorry...but she's not in right now," Scarlett's Vamp side jeered sadistically, tilting her head to

『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛᴡᴇɴᴛʏ ɴɪɴᴇ+ •*.』EMERALD GREEN EYES GLISTENED AS THEY FLICKERED WITH A GREAT REALIZATION.Seated on his dark medieval throne in his grim stony castle, shielded from the harsh rays of the morning star was Jagger. Not long ago, the Vampire King sent Cora to find the bride but returned a failure. The Paradoxical Medieval Realm was a replica of the 15th century of the mortals' medieval time, a piece of a timeline broken and turned into an abandoned multiverse existing outside the current timeline.It was made by The Great Merlin, who sacrificed himself to trap Jagger and every other Dark Mythic. The Realm honed no mortal, which left the Alpha Vampires to starve to death. So one by one, his army reduced in numbers. And the sun was always open, either day or night. So the Alphas couldn't walk out if they wanted to. This was Merlin's punishment. And gruesome it is.However, they found a fatal flaw within Merlin's endless spell.The paradox between the main timeline and the realm

『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛʜɪʀᴛʏ + •*.』 11PM, LATE INTO THE NIGHT AND EVERYONE SAT AROUND THE DOME. Shawn furrowed his brows worriedly at Scarlett. For the past couple of hours, Scarlett was crossing in and out of her Vampire state. One minute, she detested the taste of blood like any sane mortal, the next she'd go rogue and demand for more crates of them. Clearly, she couldn't control her powers or her state at all. Henry Garrix long foresaw that, thus creating the barrier around her. Normally, from his past as a member of the Wizards Circle; a guild of powerful Magic Users sworn to eradicate the Vampire race. And they specifically mean by all Vampires, even the ones who never had a choice to become one from their immortal bites. He'd have to adhere to his duty and have Scarlett staked. Garrix and Merlin however were the sympathetic ones and believed that Betas were no exception to obliterate. Besides, Vampires were still involved in the natural balance of Dark Mythics. So eliminating them woul

『.*+ •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

『.*+ •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

『.*+ •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

『.*+ •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

『.*+ •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

『.*+ •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
