I froze. Blood poured from her eyes, which were a deep purple. She was muttering something under her breath. My heart was beating out of my chest and sweat was beading on my forehead. My body trembled as she raised a long, boney finger at me and screamed. I flinched and fell back into the wall behind me, no way to escape. Each step she took towards me felt like a million years. I steadied my breathing and blinked back tears, this was it. My deal with death is sealed. I will not be seeing the sunrise again. I clasped my hands together and looked up, whispering silently my love for family and friends, praying they be okay without me. Suddenly I felt nails dig into my arms and I glanced to see what it was. She was staring me right in the eyes. It took every ounce of strength to not scream, but I managed to keep my cool. The horrid beast opened her mouth and said In a deep raspy voice "you have three years, three years to find what I seek. Death will track you down Luna. Death has no hesitation. As soon as three years is up, I am coming for you."
She let go of me and took a few steps back, looking me in the eyes before I nodded obediently. A smirk crossed her face as her eyes turned back to the warm, bright blue eyes I recognized. Her cheeks went Rosey and her lips blood red. " Rosetta, w-what ar-re you" I stuttered. She frowned and took a small step backwards, "your worst nightmare".
And with that she turned and walked away. Somewhat proud of herself. It made me sick. She befriended my family, befriended me! And suddenly she turns up and transformes into some sort of monster right in front of my eyes, getting ready to kill me! I let tears stream down my face. Death?! Three years?! What is this? I slipped down the wall and sunk into the floor, burying my head in my hands, shaking uncontrollably. What was she? Who was she? Rosetta was my mother best friend! My fathers work mate! My friend, she was like a second mother to me! But why did she change her mind, she could have killed me right then and there, but she didn't. Three years. I don't even know what she seeks!
The tears stopped falling and a wave of exhaustion flooded over me. I slowly pulled myself from the floor and collapsed on my bed. The ceiling was a light blue with fluffy white clouds painted on it. It soothed me. I blinked a few times and closed my eyes completely. My eye lids were heavy and sore. I need to get some rest, tomorrow I am going to have a wee chat with Rosetta. Set things straight.
