"I will make you change your mind one day.""How? When you got nothing compared to Samantha.""I'm Ruby Scarlet. I'm ten times better than Samantha. No. I'm a million times better than her." Eric pushed her away from him. Annoyed that this argument is getting nowhere. “You need to leave." Eric looked at her with agitation.“Why?” asked Ruby with tears falling from her eyes.“You know why. You don’t need me to tell you the reason.” Eric turned away from her. "You're judging me before you know me, you're hating me before you got to understand me, you're despising me before you know the truth. How are you so mean? How did I even fell in love with a jerk like you!""I never asked you to fall in love with me,” said Eric whipping around to look at her. "How do I tell that to my aching heart?” asked Ruby clutching her chest. "I don't give a f*ck what happens to you and that trash heart of yours," smirk Eric. "I'm your true love, Prince Eric.""Stop saying that!" Eric was boiling with ra

Ruby trudged onto the path that leads to her home. She looked up at the weary path. Tears now dried on her face, and her back was covered in blood. Feeling the oozing of the blood dripping down to her waist, she can feel the broken pieces dig deeper into her flesh with every movement she was making. She was numb from the pain in her back and the tingling sensation in her heart was now gone. Ruby knew that there was only one thing left to do, and that was to let Eric go. Knowing that once it's done, only time can mend her broken heart. Looking up at the enchanting peach blossom tree she stared at it with tears wielding up again in her eyes. Kneeling down before the peach blossom tree she said, "Grandmother Willow please teach me how to unbind the red string." Grandmother Willow who was asleep, woke up yawning. When her visions came to, she saw Ruby bleeding and stains of tears on her face. She saw the pain her granddaughter was in. For this was also her last straw with this stupid pr

“While they were searching, they stumbled upon a withering peony. Henry who saw it first, didn't care for it, so he went forth in search of the mission. While Ethan took that peony flower back and nurtured it. Rumor was that the peony flower was the dead girl's spirit. For some unknown reason the powers of the phoenix passed onto him. Some believe that since there was no more descendent, the powers went to him since he took care of the flower. The answer is still unclear.”“So, my grandfather was the first to have the phoenix’s power without being a direct descendent?”“Yes. And one thing is for sure, he is also a part of the Vermilion Bird Clan who is closely related to the Phoenix as well. So, for a while, that was also another thought that the phoenix choose him.”“That is true.”"Your grandfather practiced the phoenix's power in secret, never revealing to anyone he have the power. Only Henry knew.""Of course, that man would know." "One day Henry asked your grandfather to borrow

"Prince Eric?" Eric became paralyzed. Even her voice was captivating. He gasped at the beautiful woman in front of him. Kevin, who was standing next to Eric, nodded. However, he heard no movement . He looked around and saw that that no one else was saying anything but staring intensely at Ruby. He looked around and was confused by the men's reactions. Everyone was looking at the little beauty in front of them as if they were in a trance. He scratched his head. He too have seen many beauties, but not as beautiful as Ruby, however for everyone to just look at her in silence was a bit shocking to him. Tilting his head, he looked at Eric. Eric, like the rest of them, didn’t blink. He too, appeared to be immobilized as well. Realizing no one was moving, he nudged Eric. Expecting Eric to move since he hated her the most, but Eric didn’t budge. He was surprised and stared at him while frowning. Eric was still staring at Ruby. Annoyed, he elbowed Eric on the side and said, “Eric?”Eric, wh

The wind blew, and her hair shifted around her beautiful face. As she brushed her hair behind her ear she looked up at Eric. Her blue eyes shimmering at him. Nearly losing himself at the sight of her beauty again, he silently gasped. Staring at her for a moment to intake her beauty. He blinked a few times before handing his bowl to her. His hands was shaking invisibly. As Ruby was about to grab another soldier’s bowl, someone handed his bowl to her. She stared at the hand. Ruby frowned as it looked familiar and looked up. She then realized who it was, her eyes met his for a brief moment. She took his bowl and filled it up with soup and handed it back to him.The rest of his men also follow suit.As he was walking away, he heard Kevin said, “Miss Scarlet, your soup smells good.”“Thanks. I hope it taste as good as it smells,” replied Ruby.“Of course, it does Miss Scarlet. It tasted very good,” said the soldiers who had already finished their soup.He turned back to look at her. Eric t
