15; stolen souls
Hallucination.
That's what her grandmother called the ending.
Apparently, Scarlet was actually at the older Greene's doorstep, soaked in blood, dirt, and infections before fainting.
Gratefully, the woman had mostly cleaned away the poison from Grey's body, only a fresh scar standing on her stomach. It probably had a chance of fading away, but even with the amount of delirium that was found in Scarlet's system, she knew that wasn't likely.
Within that hour, she found herself thanking her eldest kin before kissing her on the head, and telling her that she should stay safe.
Then, she zapped home to wash off the disgusting grime that had clung to her pained body. The water strummed anything that had marked her body and pooled a disgusting shade of deep brown by the drain.
After rinsing off, Scarlet wrapped a black towel around her. She quickly regretted that, hissing in pain as the rough fibers touched her newest imperfection.
She braided her hair into a clean fishtail before toweling off in front of her closet.
She chose black high waisted jeans and a cream, ruffled, off-the-shoulders top, and black heels with thick straps.
Before changing into the actual selection of clothing, she wrapped her stomach in tan medical rap.
She noticed she might be late for school, and quickly changed into the laid out clothes, before hustling to school.

"Where were you this weekend?"
The lie rolled casually off her tongue. "Picking out your present, Lyds. I got drunk, then crashed for the remainder of the day. What's up?"
She eyed her, but rolled her eyes. She couldn't stay mad at the blonde, and Scarlet knew that. "Come over to help set up for the party tomorrow night?"
"It's only Wednesday."
"Well, now that we're back from break, and there's only three days until the party, we need to get prepared. I have a dress picked out for Char, one in mind for Alison, and I'm still picking one out for you."
"You don't have to get me anything."
"I insisted, that's what divorced parents are for; two guilty credit cards that are screaming 'use me.'"
The two giggled before the last period of the day ended.
They went over to different stores that held the top-notch products that were necessary for a Lydia Martin bash. They began to start decorating the back yard with strands of bright white lights, set up tables, and such.
Once the two were satisfied, Scarlet felt her phone vibrate.
'Where are you?'
She replied to Derek: 'Omw'
She didn't think there was anything pre-scheduled, but decided that it would be best to bite the bullet early on and get the thirty days to end quicker.
