I woke up again

I woke up again. I didn't even realize I had fallen asleep.

Instead of seeing Colby, I see Grey's Anatomy playing on TV.

"Hey, are you feeling okay?" Ashton asks beside me while placing the back of his hand on my forehead.

"Ash?" I see him looking at me confused. "What's going on?"

"I have no idea, your eyes turned purple and you looked like you were stuck in a trance of some sort."

"I remember waking up for a few minutes."

"Yeah, I told you it was a nightmare, but I have no idea what happened." Colby comes into the room.

"What did you see?" Ashton asks.

I turn to Ashton. "You died."

"Oh."

"We were in a field and there were both of you guys and three others, but they were shadows," I look at Ashton. "You were stabbed by one of the shadows. I don't know why."

"Then you woke up," Colby fills in while crouching down in front of me and placing his arms on his knees. "And fell asleep right after."

"Your eyes were glowing purple and then they went back to gray, and you knocked out." Ashton explains.

"Purple is my original eye color in Pristine, could that have anything to with it?"

"It might have, it was magic so probably." Colby whispers at the end while rising back up. "Let's just see if it happens again," Ashton and I nod. "For now, we should get some rest. I have to pick up my check tomorrow morning so Red will take you shopping for the masquerade." He turns to Ashton.

"Red?" I question. Colby turns to look at me and ruffles my hair.

"Yeah, your hair is red."

"Oh, I thought you were talking about my middle name."

Ashton whips his head towards me. "Your middle name is Red?"

"Yes."

"Like the color?" He muses.

"Correct."

"Your name is Scarlett Red?" Colby asks.

I nod my head and sink into the couch knowing their next question.

"What's your last name?" Ashton smirks.

I mutter my last name.

"What was that, Red?" Colby asks with his own smirk.

"Rose."

"So, your name is Scarlett Red Rose?"

Colby tilts his head back and lets out a laugh. "Your entire name is practically just a color."

"What's your full name?" I ask him. He immediately stops laughing and looks at me hesitantly.

"Oh? Tell us Colby." Ashton leans back on the couch throwing an arm on the couch behind me.
