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

Chapter 7

In the living room, living room 'one', I guess, John was watching TV with another Saldwin. He was complaining about why he had to watch something the Saldwin wanted to watch.

"Johnathon, enough! Lucas isn't going to be here forever, so we are treating him nicely!!" Mom yelled at him.

"Ugh FINE," John grumbled and stopped complaining.

My mom sighed and said Why do they get this way at this age..?

"Offence Mom. I'm one year younger than him but still a teen." I said to her, annoyed.

"I'm sorry?" She asked me, confused.

"You said 'Why do they get like this at that age?' a second ago!" I said loudly and my face turned red as almost everything went silent but I was almost screaming.

"No I didn't... but I-" She stopped and a look came across her face. "I was thinking that though..." She finished creeped out.

I look at her with an unimpressed face and try to hide my confusion and fear.

"Yeah right. John you heard her, right?" I hiss, looking at my brother.

"I was thinking those things that you heard me 'say' in the car!" He said excitedly and jumped up on the couch.

The Saldwin named 'Lucas' got down and went to my mom. This one was a dark red and his heart color was an even darker red, it also seemed to be just a bit cracked.

Honey do you hear me? My mom said.

"Yes, but everyone can!" I shouted, angrily but also worriedly.

It hit me that I really did hear her thoughts. I stumbled back and hit a wall. I ran to a window, closed my eyes, and breathed heavily. I felt kind of weird so I opened my eyes to only see that everything around me was gone. I tried to speak but nothing came out.

All I saw was a light blue space. Sparkly things surrounded me and I had a small panic attack. I couldn't speak, I didn't have anyone or anything to help me. I realized I saw something in the so-called distance. It was one of those heart things that the wolves had on their chests. Once again I tried to speak but nothing came out. I fe;t calmer weirdly, and the heart is closer so I can see it now. It seemed to be a dark orange color and had faint light blue and bright yellow stripes on it. In the center, I could see a tiny crack.

It came closer and I realized it was right in front of my chest. It touched my shirt and all I saw was white.
