2 Sides of the same Coin: Blood Rose

Chapter 2

Suddenly i felt energy and adrenaline sweep through my veins as fast as a flood. I could still see what i was doing but it felt like someone was instructing me on what to do. My mind was filled with pictures of me on the ground getting kicked and punched by these bullies. My mind pulled out every single bullying move they did. My body was filled with anger and rage as the branch came down towards my back.

A reflex kicked in. My arm shot out from where is was squashed underneath my body and grabbed the branch before it made contact. Valery's face was amazing and filled with shock then anger as she tried to hit me again i grabbed the branch again and this time i held onto it. She looked into my eyes and felt an emotion from her that was very fueling for my rage.

Fear.

She gasped as she looked into my eyes. Ryan pushed harder on his foot which was still planted on my back. I released the branch and managed to roll onto my back which hurt like hell. Ryan lifted his foot and was about to bring it down on my face instead i dodged rolling to one side before slowly getting up. I got up and felt my back to find liquid covered the place they had hit me. I looked at my hand which was covered in Crimson red liquid.

It was blood.

I faced Valery who still had the branch in her hand. The new recruits started to whimper and they all tripped over each other trying to run away. All that left was 3. Ryan came at me doing some sort of battle cry. He reached me and swung a punch at my face. My body was like a mind of it's own as my blood covered hand shot up and grabbed his fist and stopped it from reaching my face. Strength flooded through me as i started squeezing his hand with ease. He whimpered then screeched in alarm and pain. I found myself smiling at his pain which wasn't like me but for 1 and a half years they have bullied causing me lots of pain.

Now it's my turn!

Without letting go of his hand i wrenched it backwards probably dislocating his shoulder, then he kneeled screaming like a little kid. I smiled even more at his pain as i kicked him in the ribs. He crumpled to the ground still breathing, but unconscious from the pain. I turned to Valery and Peter my eyes blazing.

"You have caused me so much pain over these years." i said my voice sounding stronger and more confident. I t didn't waver for once in my life. She swung the branch at me but i caught it and flexed my fingers crushing the wood sending splinters everywhere. Valery started backing up and Peter was frozen with fear.

"Now it's my turn."I smiled at the fear in her make up ridden face. I thew what remains of the branch away. She trembled in fear as i backed her up against the wall of the building. She was taller than me but it didn't matter. My crimson hand reached up and grabbed her around the neck and lifted her off the ground. She started gagging but managed to cry out.

"Peter help me!" I smiled as Peter still stared and frozen to the spot. She started trying to scratch and grab at my hand making little scratches in my blood covered hand. I leaned over to her ear and whispered.

"I should snap your neck while I've still got you here. But i won't if you leave me and everyone else alone." i pointed to Ryan who didn't change in his stasis. Valery shouted defiantly.

"Let me go you red eyed freak!" i thought she was lying until i saw my reflection in the window. I was the same girl but instead of violet eyes i had blood red. I stumbled backward letting go of Valery who had bruising around her neck and was gasping for air. I found a broken piece of glass and looked at my reflection to see i wasn't dreaming i had red eyes. Red as blood. I dropped the glass which smashed and shattered when it hit the ground. I felt my anger and rage evaporate as i saw Ryan, Valery and Peter.

One of the new recruits, a boy with hazel green eyes and hazel hair sprinted around the corner with the teacher behind. It was Mr Coaso, a year 9 history teacher. He had dark skin, black hair that was shaved at the top and wore a aqua green shirt with bright blue trousers. I looked at my hands with panic filling my body. In his perspective and story the boy would've told i would look like a murderer. Blood dripped from back, down my dress to the back of my legs. Mr Coaso's eyes stared from my bloody hands and back to Valery,Ryan and Peter who had snapped out of his shock and ran away.

"Mr Coaso, thank god your here! Pur-i mean Emily attacked us! And we didn't do anything! Her eyes turned red and she dislocated Ryan's arm and choked me!" She shouted like her life depended on it, i wasn't sure if it was fake or real.

"They've been bullying me for a year now! They took that branch and kept hitting me on my back! So i decided to fight back!" i wasn't lying. I turned my back to the teacher to show him the giant patch of blood that was dripping down my dress.

"We will resolve this at a later stage meanwhile the one's who need attention to wounds come with me. Then you will all go home and if i see anymore of this all of you will have a detention. Understood!" he explained. He was a very fair teacher though when he turned his back Valery stomped her foot and when he turned back to look at her she nodded and smiled like an angel. Then gave me a glare that would've stopped a Salty in it's tracks and make it retreat into whatever river it came from and never dare stand a foot on land again. Damn i wish i had that power.

We followed Mr Coaso to the sick bay where they separated us(which was a very good idea) and treated our wounds. Valery i heard was fine just had bruising on her neck that might make talking difficult to talk(good riddance!). They wrapped a giant bandage around my back making it hard to keep anything down in my stomach. A year 8 girl came to the sick bay with my bag as i learned the sick bay manager was calling all of our parents to come pick us up. The bell went to signal lunch time was over.

My mother, Riley Rose actually came and picked me up. Usually she stayed in bed on free days like Thursdays. She works at a bank which stresses her out even more. My mother came in through the door in a grey Game of Thrones shirt with a dragon on it and black pants. She had deep, dark brown eyes with dark brown almost black hair. She wasn't too fat or too slim like just right but she had been growing a bit of weight from sleeping all the time, sitting at a desk all day and not getting enough exercise. She always had a faraway look and was almost always distant. I got up and hobbled to my mother. She signed a piece of paper so she could take me out.

My mother didn't talk to me at all in the car. All she did was drive. 

We drove into the drive way which was covered in weeds since no one had done the gardening since my father lived with us and that was 8 years ago so you imagine how over grown it was. I slung my bag on my back and walked to the wooden front door. Our house was made out of stone and wood since it was a very old house surrounded in bush land and cliffs. My mother unlocked the door that led down a corridor then down 2 flights of stairs. At the end of the corridor the kitchen was set, my mother slept in the bedroom to the right of the front door with a window that over looked the front door. In her bedroom there was a flight of stairs that went up and was directly above the front door and thats where she slept. The room you had to go through had lots of bone staffs and animal furs. My brother's room was next to her's but he had a trap door that goes upward into the attic and downward to closet that was next to my bedroom. I loved playing in the attic. It was always mysterious so after i put my bag in my room i went into the closet then upward into my brother's room(his name is Griffin), then i climbed into his bed and managed to open the trap door to the attic. The attic was dark and dusty with my mother's old toys and faded pictures of when me and Griffin were babies. Smiling pictures of when my mother and father(who's name is Zackery aka Zack) got married. It almost made me shed tears of longing. 

Suddenly there was a tapping noise at the attic window. I looked and slowly walked over to it to see a raven sitting on the sill. But when i looked closer it had silver eyes. Suddenly the voice broke into my thoughts.

"By the way my name is Blood Rose."
