The Adventurous Four Book 1

Chapter 3: Red Master

It was cold, dark and damp. There was footsteps that could be heard. Footsteps running around, sounding like it doesn't know where to go.

Then, it stopped, it turned 180° to it's left and continued to run. This time, the footsteps seem to know where to go to.

Footsteps could be heard. It was quite fast and quiet.

"Lost,aren't you? " a very deep voice said.

"No. I know this place my whole life. Why would I be lost? " came a replie.

The deep voice laughed horribly.

"You think you can fool someone like me? I heard those footsteps. Fast and quiet. "

"No.  Sorry, master. I didn't mean to-"

"Lie? Well, you always pretend to be the brave person everyone knows. Nobody would even think that you are here. You always have been here...  Following my every command. Making their lives horrible... " the deep voice interrupted.

The red eye shivered. Yes, she have done those things. But why? Why would he do that? Those where the last things she would do... So why was she there?

"What? Want to change sides now eh? Trying too? Haha. " the deep voice laughed horribly ,"But, you can't. It's too late. I did have you a choice didn't you? Want me to bring you back your memories like the last time??? "

Those questions made the red eye shivered uncontrollably. Bring back her memory would mean that she would have to suffer. Literally. She had to drink a potion her master made to make her remember.

Her master would have to use his stick and tap on the side of his head three times and put it in the water.

No. Not any type of water. A magical one. It would bring great pain to people who drink it if the memories are horrible but a great sense of happiness if the memories are a happy one.

But in this case, it was a horrible memory. Too horrible. Even though the red eye has forgotten about it, there was still a great sense of regret in her.

It was too much.

"No master, thank you. I know that you would also feel the pain even if it was only tapping your head three times... " came the replies from the red eye.

"Ha. Too scare are you? No no. It would be my happiness to help you to remember sure a important day. " and a deep laughter came next.

"Want to run away now eh? I can sense the urge of wanting to run away now... " the master said deeply. He was not happy . The red eye could sense it.

The red eye could not say anything for she does not want to upset her master.

"Enough of talk. What did you get? " get master said, getting serious this time.

The red eye was glad to change the subject and began to spill beans on them.

"Oh! And they are going to camp during the June holidays!"the red eye continued, hoping it would make her master happy this time.

"Oh really?! Where?! In the forest?! "the master said, catching up and (to the red eyes relive) smiling.

"Oh. I did not catch that. But I think so. "the red eye stammered.

"WHAT?! "her master said, fuming mad.

The red eye took a few steps backwards and apologised to her master.

"Hmph. Seriously? " her master continued to the red eye's horror.

"Sorry... " the red eye muttered.

"Sorry?! You think sorry is enough to light up my day?!  It is already horrible enough!" her master said.

"How was school? " the red eye asked, feeling a ray of hope.

"School?! It was school that made my day worst! I can't believe it! " her master said fuming mad. His face turned bloody red. "And here I am, hoping to get a good news from you!!! "

"Master, I am so sor-"

"Enough already! You! Get back to work! And don't come back until you get some news!!! Seriously! What could be worst?! " her master said,pointing to her and then the door. Hey Master's fingers were long, the nails were sharp and his fingers were croaked.

"Everything master, everythi-"

"What did I say?! " her master asked, coldly  and pointed to the door. The only door in the room to go in and out.

The red eye did not waste another second and ran out as quickly as she could.

"Hmph!" she heard her master say while she was running out of the room.

The red eye ran out and closed the door behind her . She leaned on the door and slowly slided downwards.

What have I done?! Where am I here?!

The red eye asked herself. She sobbed uncontrollably and softly. She felt like she could burst. She had too many secrets in her and there was no one , no one, to help her.

No, she can't tell her parents, everyday, she had to act. It was horrible.

In school, she had no friends who are girls. All her friends hate her. She was only friends with boys.

But now, slowly, she was beginning to have friends who are girls.

She used to have no friends because she kept on asking for money from her friends and never returned the money to them.

That was why she had no friends.

How could she ask the boys for money?! She still had her pride.

She don't know why she can't ask her parents for pocket money.

Oh no. She would regret it horribly. She was already keeping secrets from them.

Too many horribly horrible secrets. It the whole world knew her secrets, how can she face them?

Her friends? Her parents? It was fine if it was her enemy.

In fact, she would be happy, her enemies would be scared of her. She could bully them and it would be very easy.

Who were her enemies?

Simple.

They too, hate her.

Charisse, Charissa, Carlson and Clayton.

She got up and ran away as far and as fast as possible.

To do her work...
