An odd friendship

Chapter 2

Victoria desperately searches her room for the dove.
"Hello?" A soft voice emerges from the closet.  Victoria slowly approaches the oak door with a voice behind it. The grabs the cool brass knob and turns it. The door swings open with a wave of white feathers. She sneezes and sees a girl with curly blonde hair, deep green eyes, soft pale skin and pure white wings like the dove she had rescued from the garden. One was obviously broken.
"You're, the dove?" She asks in shock
"Yep. Thank you for helping me."
Victoria rubbed her eyes hoping it was all a dream and the dove was still under the sheets on her bed.
"My name is Scarlett." She says
"I'm victoria."
Scarlett hugs Victoria and walks towards the window. She sees people walking around with blank stares. The sky is dark and emotionless.
"What is wrong with everyone?"
Victoria giggles, "they are all dead my daddy killed them because of work."
Scarlett stares blankly at a child walking to a toy store.
"What is your dad?"
"He is the grim reaper!" Victoria says proudly.
"Funny. I don't have a dad." She says, "I was made of a cloud in heaven."
Victoria's eyes pop out of her little head. "You're an angel?!" She yelps
Scarlett nods with a bright smile. Victoria laughs and gives Scarlett a tour of her home. It was a dark mansion. Her room was surprisingly the only one that didn't look burned. The kitchen looked like a scorched house that has never seen the light of day. They go to the garden and see her mother standing and yelling at a maid who was looking decomposed. They walk by them without disturbing the quarrel. Scarlett notices a deep mark on her neck.
"Victoria?"
"Yeah?"
"How did that maid die?"
Victoria stops and stares at the dark sky. Scarlett stares at her white skin and dark hair, Her eyes closed as if she were in a peaceful slumber.
"She was hanged for being a witch in the 1700s." She says bluntly while turning on her heel to walk. A shiver runs down Scarlett's back as she follows victoria.
