A Blood Red Top Hat

Chapter Eight: Coral Canyon

The light brighten up, the world brighten up, my eyelids are no longer heavy as a huge block of stone. I lift them up, start of as a bury vision but soon it returns to normal, I am facing upwards not to the sky but to a ceiling, the time when I tried to look around I realized by head was tied to the surface beneath me, and so are my hands, and legs. I have no accessibility to move around only to look around me.

"She is awake."

I jumped at the sound, I never know there is a person next to me the whole time, only if I could move any limb of my body.

"Release her, why did you tie her up in the first place?"

"I am scared she will be frightened when waking up, so I tied her up...Hold on I will untie her right now,"

And then there it is, a person's face. A male, short-ish black hair, blue eyes, tall maybe, my brain is trying to process every info it receives, but it's slowly crushing it self.

A headache, of course, why couldn't I wake up not having a headache.

The shackles been unbuckled, I quickly sit up but the headache grows when I do that. But that is not one of my main concerns right now.

My mouth is dry, have this feathery feeling to it. "Where am I?" That sentence come out of my mouth without me noticing. "You are now in Coral Canons, just hold on let me get you some water." The black haired male said, and then turning around grabbing a cup of water, and turning back handing it to me.

"Fresh from the snow in Mt. Shiveer."He smirks, and turning around, running through his black locks. Right, he was thinking I should laugh at the joke.

I rolled my eyes without him looking, slowly taking a sip from the cup, it doesn't taste like anything, no taste whatsoever, guess they didn't add in the code for 'taste',

And before I know it, I am gobbling down the whole cup and rest the cup on my lap while holding the sides with both of my hands.

"I think you shouldn't walk for a while. You have a badly hurt ankle and it will hurt more if you walk." He move around, pacing.

I nod for responds, but I still have this urge to ask a lot of questions, I took a sharp breath. "What is happening?" I shift on my bottom, "Quiet found you unconscious, she heard some screaming and go out found you lying on the ground, not moving. We first thought you were dead but you still have a weak pulse, we brought you back, good thing that coral canon is quite warm compared to the forest where it's like negative ten degrees when nighttime." He fiddles with some silver chain around his wrist, "I think that is not the most important thing to tell you but it's the best that our clan leader tell you first."

"Clan leader?"
