『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛᴡᴇɴᴛʏ ᴏɴᴇ+ •*.』JOSHUA LOVED WATCHING COOKING CHANNELS ON A QUIET SATURDAY NIGHT.It wasn't particularly his favorite hobby but he enjoyed the cuisines the 21st century has so far offered. Pizza however still rivaling all things. One of the perks of being a 300-year-old Vampire, he imagined.He followed the human's instructions on the television screen precisely, while whipping another culinary masterpiece. "Too easy." He proudly scoffed. If he wasn't a guy that builds houses for a living, he would've taken off as a hot shot sue-chef. Even Scarlett would agree.He was very comfortable with her and her friends by the lakeside during their meteor shower party. And according to Gadiel and the Betas, no Alpha Vampires were spotted or sensed in the area. In fact, they were none sighted the day before yesterday. Which Joshua had to admit, was a really strange pattern.'What is Jagger up to?' He thought. Josh knew the Vampire King wouldn't regroup his disciples just like that. Th

『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛᴡᴇɴᴛʏ ᴛᴡᴏ + •*.』 "THE CRIMSON...BRIDE?" "Scarlett...?" No other words came out of the two Halflings as they were both stupefied with jolting shock. Scarlett stared at both of their expressions, both in mute horror. Especially Shawn. She didn't really like that look of surprise on his face. Was he disgusted? Repulsed? Did he hate her now? There could be a million things running through his mind right now. The secret was out, the cat out of the bag. Scarlett was a Vampire, his kind's worst foe. And Shawn just said he loathed them to the depths of his core, with no exceptions. Scarlett wasn't originally the one to care about what people think about her, she's been scorned at for her abnormal features since childhood. That was back in El Paso. But now there's Shawn. Her heart started to beat every time she said his name out loud or in her head. He was the first outsider to ever make her smile, to give her reason to laugh. He was sweet and caring. She could sense the kind

『.*+ •ᴄʜᴀᴘ. ᴛᴡᴇɴᴛʏ ᴛʜʀᴇᴇ + •*.』 "HEY...WAKE UP..." A quiet voice whispered out to Scarlett, but all she saw was the enveloping darkness surrounding her. 'Where am I?' Her voice echoed out into the abyss. "Hey, hey...wake up. Sister, wake up." Scarlett somewhat struggled to do what the voice instructed. She felt restricted, caught in some invisible string. She felt uncomfortably wrapped around it like a tangled marionette. Her beating heart thumped as her anxiety began to skyrocket. She couldn't recall any event before when a gang of snake hybrids ambushed her and her friends. She began to stiffen as she remembered Shawn being stabbed by that blonde serpentine woman. What happened after that? Where was everyone? Did she actually get nabbed by those snakes? She didn't remember herself getting taken, so where was she? The voice that kept calling out to her somehow felt...recognizable. "Aurora! Get up else I will face our King's wrath by my own self." Scarlett's eyes stalked wide an

『.*+ •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
Scarlett: The Crimson Bride CHAP. TWENTY FIVE—THE OUTCOMES.
『.*+ •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
Scarlett: The Crimson Bride CHAP. TWENTY SEVEN—SELF CONFLICTS.
『.*+ •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
Scarlett: The Crimson Bride CHAP. TWENTY EIGHT—BLOODSHOT.
『.*+ •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
