Scarlett's POV:

Scarlett...

Scarlett...

This is all your fault...

     I turned around trying to find the source of the voice. Sweat dripped down my forehead as I tried to locate the voice. My heart beating rapidly against my chest making it difficult to breathe. 

You killed me...

     The voice echoed again. I find myself turning in different directions, frantically trying to find where it's coming from.

"No! No, it wasn't me! I didn't kill you!" I shouted into the darkness. 

I'll hate you forever...

     The voice echoed again making me feel nauseous. I recognize this voice. She's Pura; Pura is here. 

"It wasn't my fault! Please! Pura let me see you!" 

     A gust of wind brushed past me and Pura appeared. She looks the same from the last time I saw her. But this time it's different. The posture she stood in facing me is different; as if she is sizing me up. Her head hung low and her hands clenched at her sides.

"Pura..."

This is all your fault...Everything is your fault...And you will have to pay for it.

      I watch with as she slowly formed into a wolf, my wolf. I cant move no matter how I force myself to snap out of it. My legs cant seem to want to move and all I could do was watch as Pura lunged at me. 

     Only when she sank her claws and teeth into me did I find my strength

"PURA!" I screamed sitting up on the bed. Cold sweat dripped down my forehead as I looked around my surroundings. Glad to see that I was back in my room in the house and that everything was just a nightmare. 

     It's just a nightmare...just the same damn nightmare. I chanted to calm myself down. Everything seemed so real in that dream and I've been getting a few days ago since the pack doctor discharged me. Since that day I've been having nightmares of Pura, each one different as the other but always has the same ending with her sinking her claws into me. I should've gotten used to but each time I find myself waking up in cold sweat and experiencing the fear as if the first time. I guess it's the guilt that's eating me alive.

     Slipping out of bed, I slowly descended the stairs in the dark to get to the kitchen for a glass of water. Passing Allison's and Crystal's room on the way, I noticed how its empty and the bed looked neatly made. 

     I guess Allison is with Henry. She deserved that time with him at least, I have been hogging Allison's personal time long enough. Now I wonder where did Crystal go?

     Hoisting myself on the kitchen counter, I continued to drink water in the dark. It was not long after did the door burst open and loud chattering filled the once silent house. I froze still on the counter like a child who was caught stealing from the cookie jar. 

     The only thing is I didn't do anything wrong, but I was still skeptical about meeting anyone after waking up from the coma. I don't think it is a good idea to see other people after they have seen me in that stage. If I were them, I wouldn't want to look at the monster I am anyways.
