LUNAR

Purple Skies

"Hey Scarlet wakes up they found us."

I opened my eyes. Lightning filled the gray and purple sky. Thunder cracked every few seconds. I could feel the vibrations of the thunder as I realize everyone was standing around me. Allen shouted out orders to Jeremy and Trisha then he bent down to help me up. He was yelling something but I could barely hear him. He bent down and helped me up.

"Hey, are you ok?"

He whispered in my ear so he wouldn't have to yell. I nodded. A small ship was following us. They were followed by an even larger ship. The smaller ship was closing in on us very fast.

"We don't need to worry about them we need to worry about this damn storm."

Up ahead was even darker clouds. The waves were bigger than our boat. We wouldn't survive that.

"We need to get on their ship."

"Yeah, that's what I was thinking. We should get inside, for now, it's going to start raining soon. Get all of your things I put them on the top floor."

I got to the small top floor. It was nothing but glass. I saw all of my things. I grabbed them and looked out the window to see where the storm went but there wasn't one. The sky was clear ahead. Where did it go? I looked out the back window and saw the storm over the big ship.

Something huge jumped out of the water and took down the other ship. I was unable to stop shaking. It started moving closer to us. The people on the small boat managed to get on ours.

Once the storm was over us the creature slowly rose from the water. It looked like a prehistoric sea creature. It looked something like a crocodile but the rest of its body looked like a snake.

It picked them off one by one and ate them. It chewed the last guy slowly then looked at me. It went back into the water. I tried to turn around and leave but someone was standing in front of me blocking my way.

Water was dripping from his body. I felt the same as I did when the crow was around me but this time it wasn't as strong. The light blue cloth was hanging from the metal he wore on his hip ankles and arms. It looked like silk. I took a few steps back.

I looked up at him. He didn't seem as bad as the thing inside of me. He was looking around for something. Then he looked at me. His body and face had a few scales on it. Blood was dripping from his mouth. His crystal clear blue eyes turned dark when our eyes locked.

He started walking towards me. I was up against the glass window. I tried to run around him but before I could even move his hand was around my neck. He lifted me up and started studying me. We were eye level and I reached out to grab his eye but he pulled away. Then I tried to wiggle my way out of his grasp but nothing worked.

His eyes trailed my body to my scar on my chest.

"There you are."

He reached into my chest and pulled out something. It was bones from the Crow. What did that mean? He sighed.

"So that's why it was so hard to find you. You killed the thing we were tracking you with."

We?

He let me go and I fell to the floor. I wanted to ask him questions but I couldn't hold back my coughs.

"I knew we didn't need to go to the extreme and track you. You already come to us. We will fix you and figure out how to kill this girl without damaging your soul."

He looked at me confused.

"Can you understand me?"

I slowly shook my head yes. He didn't say anything for a second then put his hands on his hips.

"Well, I shouldn't be too surprised she is strong enough to keep you caged in and she hasn't died from me being near her. God sure did pick a tough one. We will get you back home soon. Once we do we will take over the world like we were going to do till you were sealed in her."

He jumped through the glass and went back into the water. I laid on the ground. They drain my energy. I gave up trying to keep my eyes open. There wasn't a point anymore.
