Once everything started to clear up I looked around and noticed that I was in a cafe with a Light mocha coffee sitting in front of me on the cafe diner table with the girl sitting across from me.
"So what is your answer?" She asks me while stirring her coffee creamer into her coffee "What do you mean?" I asked her confused and she smirked a little "here I'll make it easier for you." She said laughing abit then cleared her throat as she took a drink of her coffee.
"My name's Amelia but you can call me Amy for short." Amy said as she handed me a stirring stick to use for my coffee. I glanced down at her right arm seeing a bit of what looked like a bear's paw tattoo on the upper part of her forearm.
It was noticeable starting to peek out from under the sleeve of her jacket with the stitched heart on the left sleeve of her jacket.
"Thank you and my name's Scarlet." I say stirring in my coffee. "But no I don't think so you know? Cause how I see it I'm more scared of living than anything else.
I don't mind that most of my life I've been alone but..living through it alone is more terrifying than having the thought of dying alone." I said before I took a drink of my coffee.
"In the end, you only have yourself and no one else. Sometimes there are gonna be battles that can't be won but it doesn't mean I should just give up. So what I do instead is I keep on going until the battle is won. So to answer your question, no I am not afraid of death." I said taking a drink of my coffee as I was making it known I was done with the conversation.
Amy took notice that I was done from the start and that I wanted this to be over. "Everything will be over before you know it." Amy said just have to prove to yourself  that you can do this and that you stand by the promise you made to him." Was all she said as everything went hazy. I woke up noticing I was in a field of dandelions and daisies.
I got up and walked up to an old willow tree. "How did I get here?" I ask myself, seeing I was alone until I noticed the dirt under neither of me starting to move.
Before I knew it a hand started to surface from the ground with a girl in a gothic maid outfit victorian era style the girl got herself out of the ground and brushed herself off as if nothing happened. "ah it feels good to stretch" she says in a cheerful child-like tone then turns around and notices me.
"Darla?" I say surprised to see her again the last time we saw each other it didn't end well. "What are you doing here?" Darla says with a slight wicked giggle "I should ask you the same thing." I say smirk as my eyes go to a golden tent with a slight glow.  "Shall we continue where we left off?" She asks then pulled out a hunting knife with the blade being crafted from an enchanted black gemstone with white specks.
"If you insist." I said as I didn't really care much for her back then me and her used to be close. But those days are behind me all because of her stabbing me in the back when we both were still close friends.
We'd even shared secrets with each other that we both promised to never tell anyone but she went behind my telling everyone rumors about things I've done she'd even got me accused of sleeping with the school chairmen.
The sky crackled and went dark as a storm started to arise above us.
"It's a shame to meet you like this again." Darla said smirking and used a spell to cause lightning to strike the ground around us making a ring of fire with blue flames.
Before I could even blink she was moved towards my direction without even lifting a heel.

I grabbed the closet tree branch and took a swing at her as she was getting ready to take the first attack but she dodged and ended up holding me in a chokehold.

"What are you gonna do? Hm?" She says giggling "you gonna kill me? And then what?" She started to giggle again but this time it wasn't even a giggle. The sound she was making was unnatural to explain in words.

I smirked and kicked the knife out of her hand and got loose being able to pin Darla to the ground as I grabbed the knife and caught it before it hit the ground. Darla's face went pale once she saw my eyes.

She started to get loose as I just made my grip tighter on her.

"No, it's to end the childish game we play," I say stabbing her in the chest as I heard what sounded like glass shattering as I pulled the knife out of her she screamed and shattered into a million shards of glass only leaving the hollow remains of her scream.
