The Crescent Birthmark

Bound

In life, we often make bad decisions. It's a process of learning, as the saying, "learn from mistakes."

We make bad decisions, we regret. So the next time life decides to turn a hassle against us, we know the right decision to make judging from the past we had.

We learn from mistakes.

That's if... we don't die from them.

12.21a.m.

Scarlett might be a Grim Reaper and her kind is known for taking lives, but that doesn't mean she is entirely stoned from the title. She still has a heart and this sentimental atmosphere around her was giving her chills.

"Jason!" She yelped lightly as soon as her acquaintance-friend made a sudden appearance in front of her. "Are you seriously spending a Friday night in a club?" She laughed before observing him up and down, noticing he was wearing his Mourning Robe. "Oh wait... Did someone die in the club tonight?"

Jason seemed upset at her guess.

"Where's Aiden?" The male Grim Reaper did not bother to comment on her jest, and sounded like he was in a rush with the tone he was using.

"He's helping the ghost... Why?" Scarlett crossed her arms at the idea. "Let him have his time. If you're going to bother him about—"

"The ghost is on the stage crying to the singer! Where is him?" He repeated his question.

"You're not going to do anything about the ghost?" Scarlett was curious how he was not after her, instead he went looking for the human boy. "Why are you looking for him? He's helping her."

"I seriously don't have time for this." Jason sighed. "What time is it?"

"Probably 12.25a.m." Scarlett answered, raising her brow slightly as she looked at him.

'I have 35 minutes.' Jason thought to himself before disappearing to the center of the club, his eyes roaming around to spot the petite figure of the boy.

No sign of him could be detected but his fading, weak scent could be smelled. His scent wasabsolutely distant and weak as his soul was slowly fading from body.

Jason could tell he is somewhere at the club, but he didn't know where.

12.25a.m.

"Gone again." Scarlett shook her head at Jason's disappearance. Nothing she is foreign to. But how he seemed rushed and worried got her wondering, so she decided to look for Aiden as well and maybe ask him for the reason.

She knew Jason for nearly six decades already and he is never the one to worry or get anxious over something. He usually doesn't care about stuffs around him if it doesn't involve him, as long as he gets his work done. She could not let go of how his expression turned to be clearly upset at the mention of someone dying in the club, so she wanted to investigate.

"Did you see the hot chick talking to herself!?" She heard a guy talking to his friend.

"Why are the hot ones always crazy?" His friend replied and she laughed inwardly. "Well, at least they find me hot." She said to herself, raising her hand slightly to change into her Mourning Robe and teleported herself to the stage where Julia was crying and trying to sing along in her tears with Grayson, even though the ghost could not be heard.
