{{{{ CHAPTER 5 }}}}

*SCARLETT'S POV*

"Look at me." he said desperately. But I couldn't look at him even though I wanted to.

I shook my head and closed my eyes. "You hurt me. You didn't give me a chance Cole." A lone tear slipped from my eye and I quickly swiped it away before he could see.

"Scarlett, please look at me. Can't you see that I love you? that I do want to be with you?" his voice was hoarse and I took a deep breath before I slowly opened my eyes and lifted my face to where he was standing. Electric green eyes stared at me but I didn't see love there.

"You don't love me." I whispered and took a step back. Trying to distance myself from getting hurt again. I don't think I would be able to survive looking at him, rejecting me again. But for every step I took back, he took one forward until he was in front of me.

Cole was always tall, almost as tall as my dad who was 6'7. I stared at his chest, not being able to meet his gaze this close.

Once when I was little I tried to stare at the sun because Fibi had said it could turn me blind if I stared at it for to long. I didn't want to be blind but I guessed that if I stared at it for a certain amount of time I would be able to get prescribed glasses, which I thought would be cool to wear. But as I was standing in my front porch, pretending to play with my barbies, I looked up at the sun and as soon as I saw it, closed my eyes. It hurt to much to even look at it for two seconds.

That's how much it hurt to look at Cole. So I didn't and kept my eyes on the blue fabric of his t-shirt.

"Look at me Scarlett." he said more forcefully. I flinched when he brought his hand up and caught my chin between his forefingers. His hands weren't soft. They were big and rough and I felt absolutely nothing but fear. That's when I realized the person holding my chin wasn't Cole.

My eyes shot up and I was met with the same electric green eyes. But the eyes were on a face of shifting faces who glared down at me. I screamed and stepped back but tripped over something and ended up falling to the hard ground. My elbows scraped rocks  but I paid no attention to it as I flipped onto my stomach and tried to get back up. I desperately looked around for an exit and finally noticed I was in a field of  some sort where the tall grass was dead and the tree seemed as if they had been burnt.

I began to crawl away from the- that thing but before I could get to far It grabbed me by the ankles, making my hands give out and my face connected to the ground. My molars began to throb as I was flipped over onto my back and Cole was once again in front of me. But I knew better. It wasn't him,

The Cole look alike smiled wickedly at me. Longing rose up in me as I stared at his handsome face even thought it wasn't him. And how ridiculous, to long for something that was never mine to begin with. We've never even spoke more than twice before the rejection.

"You're right. How could I ever love someone as weak and pathetic as you?" I winced, It wasn't him but it was his voice and his face and it still hurt to have this Cole imposter tell me that I would never be wanted by him.

"Is that what you want to hear Scarlett to make you understand that Cole your destined mate will never want you?" said a feminine voice and Cole wasn't there anymore and A girl about my age stood in front of me. She emanated power though and her eyes seemed to be one of those who knew secret, dark, terrible secrets. Her hair was white and she had soft features but her smile was vicious.
