Tainted

Chapter 1

The sounds of the rain against the window was soothing, yet moarningful. I layed there wide awake at three in the morning. Another night I couldnt sleep, well I never really could sleep. My dreams prevent me from wanting to slumber, the past and my fears haunt my dreams. Its been 2 years since my parents past away. Usally dont talk about with others. It hurts to much. I roll over to try to go to sleep praying for a dreamless night.

" Scarlette! SCARLETTE!" sturing in my sleeping trying to sleep through the nusence in the air. My bedroom door slams open. "SCARLETTE WAKE UP WE'RE LATE!" Mia rips the covers off my body. " Go. Away." I mummble under the pillow. " we're late for your sisters wedding!" Mia shouts, i could hear her scuttering around the room in her heels. " I julted straight up an look at the alarm on the nightstand next to my bed. It was eleven o'clock. Fuck! " Ugh! I slept through the damn alarm again!" Scrambling around the loft we try to get ourselves togther in orderly fashion. Failed misserably. We caught a cab to the chapel, hoping we make it in time just for the i do." I told you going out ladt nigt was a bad idea. I feel like a horse is stomping on my head." Mia rubs the sides of her temple. I throw my sunglasses on an zone out Mia's bitching. My older sister Emillia is getting married at the church my parents bewedded, trying to keep the tradition alive apparently.

I hardly seen my sister since my parents death, Ive kind of fell off the charts for awhile. Keeping to myself an pushing people away seemed like a good idea at the time, but now im slowly getting back into routine an trying to find myself again. Well at least the real me. Arriving with no time to spare we sneak into the back of the church, and thankfully found a seat that hid us well. To make it even better we arrived just in time for the exchanging of rings. Everyone gathers outside to see the beautiful bride and groom cast off into the sunset off to their honeymoon. Blick. When the doors open i almost didnt even recognize my sister. She looked like a porcelain princess in her fluffy white glimmering gown. Her long black curly locks done up in a tight bun, her topaz eyes shining with joy and her i just won the latto smile stuck on her face.

Making eye contact she rushes over to my side. " Oh Red, I didnt think youd come, im glad you did i missed you. We have a lot of catching up to do." Emillia realeases me from her tight embrace. " after your honey moon." I smiled lightly. Truthfully i shouldnt even be here right now, long story short my ex cheated on me with my sister the same day our parents died which all happened on my birthday. Fucked up right. Ever since then things havent been the same between us, the only reason i came was simply by the grace of my parents, they made me promise to always be there for my sister no matter what an to be there for each other's wedding. Emillias lucky for that promise. After the newley weds escaped to paradise Mia and I resided back to our loft in the city.

The evening was coming to an end an the night life crept upon us. " lets go out tonight, i can tell you have alot on your mind. Hey itll be a good exscuse to break in your new shoes!" Mia said excitely. I just sighed. " you mean you wanna go out so you can break in my new shoes." I stated, Mia just shrugged. " thats besides the point, you need to loosen up have some fun. For me please? I hate seeing you in this funk." Mia pouted, an she did have a valid point I do need get out of this funk. Or at least try. I took a nice hot shower an put on my favorite red cocktail dress that danced with grace every step that id take, an wore my knock off brand of louboutins. I let my long blood red waves down completing my look. Mia wore her normal skimppy outfits like norm.

" where are we going?" I asked while we crossed the busy street of new york. " This new club called Forsaken, ive heard its like the new hot place to be and theres a lot of babes." Mia winks, i roll my eyes. We turn the corner to greet a long line to the club, patiently waiting in line i observed the crowd. we get the entrance i could feel the electrifying energy pulling me in. Once inside i felt liks i was in a tim burton club house, everything was so abstract an different. Mia wasn't kiddinf when said the people were babes, everyone looked unrealisticly sexy you almost couldnt believe it. " would it kill you to smile!" Mia yelled over the music. " yeah it actually it would!" I shouted, mia rolled her eyes and pulled me to the dance floor, letting the dark wave music take controll. For once i was letting myself fet lost in my thoughts and let the musc take control, feeling frew.But suddenly i started to feel uneasy, like someons was watching me, but who? I detach myself from Mia an head to the bar an ordered rounds of shots...for myself. I began to wash myself in self pitty each shot i took.
