My New Life

Chapter 5

Scarlet's POV

I woke up to the sight of Cole standing at the end of my bed. I looked at my phone. It was 10:30 am. "Morning sleepyhead." He joked. I smiled. I got out of my bed and walked over to him. I put my arms around his neck and hugged him. He was so cute. I told him I had to change. He turned around while I changed into a red sweater, gray leggings, and my favorite black beanie. "You can turn around now." I said. He faced my way and said he liked it. Suddenly, I heard my mom coming down the hallway. Cole hid under the bed again. My mom opened the door and asked if I wanted to come with her to get groceries. I told her I didn't feel good. "No wonder you're so pale. Alright, I'll be back in about 2-3 hours. See ya." She closed the door and Cole came out from under the bed. He stood up and said, "Hey, I have a surprise for you. Close your eyes." I closed my eyes and I could feel his hand hold mine. He started walking towards the balcony. I could hear the glass door being opened. He picked me up and jumped down. Then, he put me down and started walking again. A little while later, he stopped. "Open." he whispered. I opened my eyes. We were in a beautiful meadow filled with green grass. I wondered how this could be because it was winter. "It's winter. How is this here?" I asked. "It is an enchanted place that stays like this forever. It is only visible to creatures such as vampires, werewolves, and all those fairy tale things that you believed as a kid."  I was astonished. This was the prettiest place ever. Cole and I lied on the ground together, hand in hand. I wish I could live here. "Me too." Cole said. He must have read my mind. We stayed there until my mom called me. "Where are you?" she yelled through the phone. "I am at... work! I got hired at a fast food restaurant today. I forgot to call you. I will probably quit because everyone here is coughing and sneezing into the orders. Bye." I hung up. Cole laughed. "Nice cover story, Scar." I liked that nickname. Scar. I loved it. Then, we met each other's gaze. We leaned towards each other. I paused. I have never been kissed. He read my mind again. "Then let me teach you." he whispered. He leaned in and put his smooth lips on mine. We kissed. This was the best feeling ever. We stopped and looked at each other. I smiled. He smiled. We stood up and walked back to my house, holding hands. I layed my head on his shoulder. He was so sweet. He picked me up and jumped onto the balcony. I thanked him. I kissed his cheek and went inside. He jumped off of the balcony and ran into the woods. I wish this day would never end. Then, my necklace started glowing. I didn't feel anything change. Must have been a dud. I walked into the bathroom to wash my face. I looked in the mirror. I forgot I didn't have a reflection. I decided to brush my teeth because my breath smelled like raw meat. I started brushing them when I noticed something strange. I felt my teeth. I gasped. I had fangs.
