『.*+ • ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ɴɪɴᴇ• *+.』 THE HOURS OF THE DAY CONTINUED TO PASS AS the bell rang throughout the wooden brown corridors of the school. Students began running around and filling the space of the halls, some stuffing their books into their lockers while some remained chatting with their fellow classmates. At the sight of Scarlett walking by them, a few began to whisper conspicuously. "Seriously? Her? In the Specials Class? That group of weirdos?" "Yeah, but...she's the only one we can see here. No one else saw those guys more except her." "I wonder what they're like." "And what's so special about them anyway?" "Who knows. Maybe they mean Specials as in disabled." "It doesn't seem like that to me." Thoughts ran in Scarlett's mind as she recalled back to what Gadiel, Fortune, Danté, Nicolai, Sapphire, and Professor Ada were talking about. About this Jagger character. Who is he? Was it that Vampire she saw yesterday? It had to. She wanted to ask about it. But there was a chance they
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...'

『.*+ •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
