Perfect scars

Chapter Eighteen.

Scarlet's POV

Cool air surrounded me, it was dark and cold. I felt like my mind was not my own. I'm in a field the dark sky was filled with stars all fighting to be seen by a human eye.

Envious clouds slid across the sky preventing me from seeing the star's beauty. The grass under my bear feet was damp and cool making my whole body cold. I looked around and there seemed to be nothing, nothing but fields and the sky.

"I never saw true beauty until I met you" I head a male voice say and it echoed around me "let me see her" I heard a feminine and angelic voice say I turned around trying to find the people to match these voices.

I'm alone?

"Koraki" she said slowly "Kora for short" she repeated I spun around frantically "the scarlet rave?" The man's voice asked "she's beautiful but I know she will be deadly like a bird of death" she said. I smiled at the conversation I was listening to, they sound happy.

Suddenly I noticed a small black object moving next to me I turned quickly to see a dark blue raven standing next to me proud and elegant.

What's happening?

The bird flew upwards as I noticed a swarm of birds flying around in circles above me they seemed so peaceful.

"Quickly hide her!" I heard the woman scream in a panicked voice "she won't remember us maybe that's for the best!" She said quietly.

"Good bye my raven" she said slowly before I heard her calling out in pain I felt my eyes tear up. I heard the man chanting something quietly he sounds as if he was crying. I couldn't make out the words but he finally finished.

"I love you"

Then there was silence. Tears fell and crashed to the floor around me. The birds seemed frantic. Was that my parents?

Suddenly the bird near me made a loud noise pulling me out of my thoughts. The bird seemed frantic and distressed.

I looked around and suddenly and hooded figure was standing in front of me. I felt everything turn cold and mist started to form around my feet it swirled and intertwined with anything in its way.

The figure slowly turned to face me and I felt shiver sprint down my back, I have the feeling I'm in the presence of death, pure evil.

I couldn't make out their features as a good seemed to cast a shadow over there face "hello kora." I heard a deep familiar voice say.

The voice sounded distorted but I felt as if I knew it form somewhere. "Who are you?" I shouted looking around me. Kora?

He suddenly started walking closer to me I felt like moving away from him but I couldn't. My feet felt as if the y where planted to the floor and I was stuck.

Each step he took I felt more scared and helpless. Until he was almost Close enough for me to see his face. Just one more step and I would know who it was.

"This is it koraki, hello and good bye" he said moving his foot to take one more step...

I sat up quickly with sweat running down my face, I felt a sharp pain run up my stomach and I breathed in sharply. Fuck. I lifted my top to see a bandage on my stomach.

What?

I looked around the room, I'm at the school. In my room. I looked around confused as to how I am here. I stood up quickly but feeling slightly dizzy I ended up falling back onto the bed and running my hands through my hair.

Dammit why does this hurt so much. I walked to my wardrobe and grabbed some new clothes that had less blood on them! I slowly changed trying not to make the pain any worse. Why isn't it healing? I looked in the mirror and lifted the top I was wearing showing the cross and a black line down my stomach about ten centimetres long.
