Scarlet's Backstory - Book 1 ~ (The Dead City Series)

Chapter 6

I woke up in my bed in my new amazing room. I sat up on the comfortable as heck bed and looked around.

"Woah..." I muttered to myself.

The room was dark gray and had game posters all over the walls. As I looked at the ceiling I got startled by a string right above my head that said: 'Pull Me!' I looked around again at my room to make sure, and no one was in it. I got on my knees and pulled the string. Suddenly everything around me went crazy and I felt all tingly. I held my mouth to make sure I didn't throw up. Everything stopped but it was all different. The posters had changed to movie posters and the wallpaper was dark red and had gold borders. I thought it looked pretty cool. But I was still confused on how it happened.

"Wait, I have two rooms?" I asked myself.

"Not necessarily, but to be honest I like the game one better." I heard something say and the door opened.

As I looked at the creature closely I recognized it to be the small wolf creature I had seen in the room.

"Sorry, she told me to keep an eye on you." The small wolf thing said, walking up to me.

There was a small smoke that started to surround her, and I started to smell chocolate.

"Why does your smoke smell like chocolate?" I asked, confused.

The small wolf thing emerged from the smoke as a much larger wolf creature. She had a heart on her chest that seemed to be a dark green and dark red swirl. Her fur was jet black with dark red and light green stripes. It was the thing I had seen in the weird dark/black as midnight room. She didn't answer my question. But it didn't matter, I supposed, and went onto another topic.

"What... are you exactly?" I asked, still confused.

After a second of processing, she said, "I'm a Saldwin,"

The door opened again and my mom came in smiling.

"Ah, I see that you've met... " Mom started then trailed off.

We sat in silence as I then saw another, larger, wolf creature come in. His fur was a very dark purple and had star looking spots on him. I swore that every once and awhile one of them shone brighter than the others. The heart on his chest was all black with a single star in the middle.

"Hello brother..." The first one said.

"Hello... Maroon said there were new 'humans' in the house" He said, looking at me then my mom then back at me.

He walked over and lowered his head as a sign of respect. I looked at his furry face and saw his beautiful eyes. They seemed to stare in my soul...

"Honey, this is Galactic." My mom explained as she motioned for him to raise his head.

"Hello... Galactic." I said nervously.

I saw him smile and back away a couple steps from our room.

My mom sighed and said, "This is Victoria..." and nodded at the other wolf thing.

I stared at Victoria and I felt a wave of sadness rush over me. Because I used to have a 13 year-old sister named Victoria but then she randomly disappeared on a snowy day, about four years ago.

"Hello... Victoria." I said then hesitated to say the second part. "May I call you Vici?" Vici is what I called my sister.

My mom got up and left the room. It was hard to talk about my sister without crying for everyone in my family.

"Y-you may, but only if you want to..." Victoria said sadly.

Mom must've told them all about my missing sister. I smiled at her then got up and looked up at her. She was smaller than Galactic but they were both taller than me. My brother was about as tall as Vici.
