The Blooded Hood

chapter 3

REDS POV

DREAM

"You're a useless child," she picked up the wooden spoon and hit the girl with it over and over again on the back

"Mom why don't you love me," The little girl yelled in between sobs

"Because scarlet your the human embodiment of my pain and you look so much like him,"

"MOM YOU'RE HURTING ME!" the little girl yelled while blood began to trickle down her porcelain white skin.

"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, YOU DID THIS,BECAUSE OF YOU HE'S GONE," she said while beating the little girl even harder.

"AH!" I screamed aloud looking around my room. My heart racing and my forehead covered in cold sweat.

" Even though you're gone, you still tormenting me, huh mom"

I pushed my blankets off my body and looked around. I jumped down on to the cold floor and walked to my bathroom outside of my room to take a cold shower to refresh my brain and claim my nerves.

Once I got out of the shower I looked in the mirror.

I'm looking at a 15, slim but stocky girl with dark hair and crimson eyes. Her eyes as red as blood. She used to be so innocent so.... pure.

BEEP BEEP

Pulled me out of my thoughts. I walked over to my nightstand and pulled out a shelf. I pushed past all of the random things and found my phone.

"S"

I know you're not gonna like it but your gonna need to go to Cupid's and talk to her

My informer texted.

"NO" I texted back I hate Cupid

"S"

SHE'S YOUR ONLY LEAD, JUST GO!

My informer texted back

"FINE"

I texted back while checking the time, 4:00 pm. I guess I could go now and spend the rest of the night looking. I put my phone in the back of my black jean pocket.

URGH!

I don't want to go to Cupid's

"URGH" I yelled and walked over to my drawers underneath my bed and grabbed my knives and started to strap them to my thighs, arms and the inside of my shoes.

I pulled out my hood and made my way to Cupid's.

*

I look at the time 6:00 pm.

URGH!

It takes me two hours to get here every damn time! I looked at the building located on a side street. Its black wall color blending in with the dark outside. There's really not any other way to describe it other then it's got an old out of use building look to it but that's just on the outside.

I made my way across the street and into the building. I pulled up my hood and walked in. I looked around at the "bar" the walls are dark red with black and whiteboards. The tables are all black, with white chairs. A flight of stairs that lead to a private area upstairs and a bar holding almost every fairy potion or hard-core liquor within a mile radius.

There's only a few people scattered around at tables and a few at the bar.

See Cupid's a place where ruthless killers, Drug dealers, and Gang members usually come to drink, take a break and others come for information like myself.
