Two

**Crimson's POV**

In only one night, one terrible, terrible night, things changed. My world came crumbling down. Those I thought I could lean on, those I loved and trusted, betrayed me. I was torn as it felt like life was being sucked out of me. It felt like a thousand swords had been dug into my heart; it hurt more than a million needles piercing into my skin but in my darkest moment, I saw a ray of light; a ray of hope, reminding me that there was still a lot left in life and out of those burnt pieces of my life; out of those ashes, I emerged, greater and stronger than before. Out of the pain came a new me and this new me, would do anything to bring her enemies DOWN TO HER FEET.

......

I gasped and sprung up from what I laid on and looked at my surroundings. Things looked different and a bit out of date. What was going on? The last thing I remembered was my car losing control and falling off a cliff and onto the ground, shattering into pieces. There was no way I could have survived that fall because I could remember, vividly, how a shattered body of the car pierced through my heart, bursting out at the other end. I remembered the pieces of the car glass, clashing with my body. I died, I am sure I died. What am I still doing here?

Looking around, I realized I was in my room, but I had left this room after graduation and got a better one. I paced around the room, confused and puzzled when my eyes made contact with the standing mirror.

“What!” I exclaimed.

I looked exactly the way I was when I was 1 still 8 years old. My hair was styled into a ponytail; the only hairstyle I've always had on, but things had hanged.

I had barely finished checking myself out when my phone rang. Grabbing it, I looked at the caller ID, and it was… Alexis! That betrayer who had dared to sleep with Damon behind my back;

But, why was she calling me?

Curious to find answers, I answered the phone skeptically and had to take it away from my ears as a result of her loud girlish screams.

“Baby girl!!!!!” She screamed again.

“Huh?” I was confused.

“I'm so happy right now. Remember this movie, Twilight Saga? Well, the final series is out. You've been dying to see it for some time now. It's coming out tonight, and I was lucky to get us tickets before they sold out,”

Twilight saga? Sold out?

“Why aren't you saying anything, Crimson. Are you so shocked that you are quiet? Come on, say something. I really suffered to get these tickets.” She whined.

I stopped myself from yelling at her to give me space to think, so I just played along. “Wow, thanks.” I tried to sound excited, but it failed.

“You were the one dying to see the movie, but it seems I'm more excited than you are,” She sighed. “Anyways, put on something nice. I'll be at your place by 7pm, so we can get to the cinema on time, your highness.” She chuckled and hung up.

“What is really going on?” I flung the phone on the bed and ruffled my hair.

Pacing round the room again, I rushed to my phone and noticed it was the phone I used when I was eighteen before I got another one. I switched it on and clicked on the calendar icon.

“3rd April!” I screamed when I checked the year and saw I was two years back in time.

Did I just travel back in time? What the hell am I doing two years back in time?

“3rd April, 3rd April…” I repeated, trying to remember something. And soon, I got it! The day we were supposed to watch Twilight saga; breaking dawn, but the cinema caught fire and someone rescued me. I gasped. “The day I met Damon,” My gaze turned cold. That bastard!

I paused when everything began falling into place. Remembering my prayer when the car was about to fall off the cliff, I gasped when  suddenly everything made sense to me. The moon goddess had given me a second chance. My heart leaped for joy at the realization, and I couldn't help but scream excitedly.

There was a reason she brought me back, and that reason is nothing but REVENGE. In my past life, I have made countless mistakes. I was too naive and oblivious about what life truly was. Now that I know everything, I won't make those mistakes twice. I will make sure Alexis and Damon paid for the pain they caused me. They caused my death and now that I have been reborn, I'll make them pay ten folds. This is no longer the shy and naive Crimson, this is the new one, and I'm coming with full force.

I got dressed and packed my hair into a ponytail before picking up my purse and phone. The door flung open and Alexis rushed in, smiling sheepishly. I could remember the exact words I told her…

“Did you get a boyfriend?”

“Twilight saga is the new boyfriend, darling.” She replied and giggled.

I this was it. I had been taken back to two years ago.  Suddenly reliving this moment, I felt a sudden urge to slap her hard on the face, but I controlled myself. I’ll get back at her soon!

“Let's go.” I walked out and she followed closely behind, irking me even further.

“Oh, I saw Tyler on my way here.” Alexis said as we entered my car.

Tyler… I remember him. The man I've hated all my life.

“To the cinema.” I said to the driver, and he nodded, started the engine and zoomed off.

“You aren't acting like your usual self. Are you okay?” Alexis asked.

I rolled my eyes internally. “Yes, I'm fine.” I answered simply and looked away. Just wait and watch how I'll finish you off. I'll make sure I destroy you before you even get the chance to kill me again.

We got to the cinema just in time. After checking the tickets, we took the front-row seat, waiting for the movie to start. I knew when the place would catch fire, so I was determined to save myself before Tyler did, since he was the one who saved me that day. He had gone back to save Alexis when I met with Damon.

“10… 9… 8… 7…” I muttered under my breath. “6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1.” The moment one left my mouth, there were screams everywhere and the place caught fire.  I used my eyes to weigh possible escape routes and sprung up. “Crimson.” I could hear Alexis calling out my name, but ignored.

I was about to turn and head out when a sweet and tantalizing scent tugged at my nostrils, making me halt. Even though the stench of the smoke filled the whole place, I couldn't get that unique and amazing scent away from my nose. It was like a bouquet of scented roses had been placed on my nose.

My wolf leaped in excitement, sending butterflies down my stomach. I wanted more of this scent that I didn't know when my legs moved on their own, looking for where the scent was coming from.

I got to a place and it got stronger. A door was pushed open and the person I didn't expect or wish to see rushed to me.

That moment, I felt like the ground should open and swallow me entirely.

My wolf suddenly whispered. “Our mate.”
