She's an Ancient (rewriting)

Chapter 14 - Part 2: Rose Red

Amaranth stared up at Hayden with blood red eyes and he immediately dropped her and stepped away.

"...Mara?" He asked. Amaranth looked at him and smiled with a devious grin on her face as she rolled over and stood up.

"Hayden, is it? How weak you seem for a Reaper." She taunted. Hayden raised an eyebrow and watched her turn towards the door. He reached out to grab her arm and turned her around as he stepped in front of the door.

"Where are you going to go?" He asked holding out his arms to either side of him. Amaranth looked at him with a playfully evil smirk on her face.

"Well I could stay here and we could find... other entertainment." She whispered softly as she reached out to touch Hayden's chest. He watched her carefully but didnt object much though he knew it wasnt really Mara. She walked in closer and wrapped her arms around his torso. He hesitantly lowered his arms and wrapped them around her in return.

"I swear you boys are so easy." She whispered as she started laughing. Hayden pulled away but Amaranth grabbed his shoulders before he could and threw him across the room like a small toy. He let out a loud growl as he hit the wall and created a large hole in her wall. He laid on her floor in pain. Tear threw open the bedroom door and opened his mouth as he glanced between Hayden and Amaranth.

"Amaranth, what are you doing?" He asked. Mara turned to face him and he stepped back as he saw her blood shot eyes, it wasnt just the iris of her eyes, it was the sclera as well, completely red. He took another small step back as she continued to stare at him, her eyes were filled with pure rage, anger, and scariest of all- power.

"Mara, what happened?" He asked. Mara took another step towards him and pushed him back into the hallway. She grabbed the front of his shirt and dragged him out to the porch where she pushed him back and stared up at the sky. It was as black as she had ever seen it with a bleeding crescent moon right in the middle of it all. She grinned to herself as she closed her eyes and opened her arms, as if absorbing the night into her flesh.

"Amaranth, you need to sto-" Mara snapped her head towards Tear as her eyes lit up, cutting him off and forcing him to fall to to his knee's. His eyebrows furrowed together as he tried to move his body but was unable to.

"What... are you...doing?" He managed to get out. Mara smiled at him and cocked her head to one side.

"Bodies are made of 60% water, didnt you know?" She asked. Her eyes lit up for a second as Tear's body smashed against the wood and she smiled as he groaned in pain. She turned to walk away but paused as she saw Hayden standing in front of her.

"If I didnt know better I would have thought you had a death wish." She growled as she walked down the porch steps. Hayden held out his hands.

"Wait! Think for a second, this is a residential area, theres houses everywhere." He said. Amaranth glanced around at all the other houses that lined the streets and shrugged.

"Then lets go somewhere we can play." She said under her breath. Hayden nodded and she turned to lead him towards the forest. She glanced sideways to see Kyoni walking around the corner with a grim look on his face. He paused as he saw Hayden following Mara and his eyebrows furrowed together as he saw her blood red eyes. She waved at him but continued walking until they reached the forest.

"Ah, it seems I'm not the only one the blood moon as affected." She whispered. She turned to look at Hayden and winked at him before four beings appeared silently out of the woods.

"Amaranth. On behalf of our world, we sentence you to death." One of them said sternly. Mara clicked her tounge and gave them a smile.

"Is that anyways to treat your friend?" She asked pouting. The first one who made a move was a girl with porcelein skin and completely black eyes, just like everyone else from the planet. She jumped forward and shot her hand out at me. Mara felt rumbling beneath my feet and smiled a little as she looked up.
