ELIAS'S POV I opened my eyes slowly, and light flooded in, making me snap them shut. Everywhere was bright, and I felt so peaceful. I finally opened my eyes and took in the sight of my surroundings, after opening and snapping them shut a couple of times. I looked around. I was in a room with dove gray paint. There was a white desk with drawers. On top of it was a mirror with a white frame. The chair was a mixture of white and grey. There was a wardrobe in the corner, also painted white. Then, the bed on which I was sleeping had white sheets, and in front of me was a large glass wall, overlooking the beach, crashing peacefully on the sandy shores. The sun was high in the sky, and I couldn't remember the last time the sky had been that bright and beautiful. Where was I?I sat up, and jumped back as I saw a hand peeping out from under the blankets. A familiar feminine hand. I threw back the sheets, and there was Scarlet, beautifully curled up on the bed in a white satin shirt, and sh
SCARLET'S POV Carla fell to the floor, with her hand on her heart, breathing heavily. “Was that Sylvia? Oh jeez, I had to run all the way here.” She said, struggling to breathe. I raised her to her feet, and poured a glass of water for her. She drank greedily and at once, then turned to me, as I began to pick up the shards of the plates. “I came here to tell you something. What was it?” She asked herself. “What was it? It was really urgent. How could I forget it?” She asked, grabbing her hair, and looking like she was in shock. I finished packing up the shards, and was about to tell her we had to find Elias when she suddenly screamed.“Ralph! He's awake! Damn it, he wanted to see you!” She shouted, making her way out of the kitchen, and I followed after her, dashing out of the house, and forgetting to lock the door. Ralph… Ralph was awake! My hope! With his help, I was very sure we'd find Elias, and we'd be able to save Sylvia and take out the monster that was in her. Carla and I
ELIAS'S POVAs I saw her being yanked back into the cave, I held onto her outstretched hands feeling like my heart was going to burst. Due to my sudden outreach, the old lady fell against me, and was going to fall and roll down a little hill. I grabbed her roughly, but ended up almost being pulled with her into the cave with Scarlet.“Elias!” Ralph shouted, as Scarlet's hand left mine, and I made to go in.He pushed me aside roughly, and I struggled to make sure the woman didn't get injured. I hit the floor instead of her, and saw that she was shaking like a leaf, very terrified at what had happened.“Are you okay?” I asked her, and she nodded, getting off me, and sitting on the floor.Just then, we heard a loud sound. It was rocks blocking the entrance from nowhere. I only heard Scarlet's final scream before the large rocks blocked every sound.“Do you want to get killed? You and her would have been crushed with those rocks!” Ralph scolded in anger, but I couldn't even focus on him.
SCARLET'S POVI got to my feet immediately, banging painfully on the rocks, even though I knew it was futile. The fear of being alone rising within me was like an entity itself, but screaming made me feel more vulnerable.“Elias!” I called out loud, but couldn't hear anything. All was silent, and it made me realize I was truly alone. There was no one to rescue me.I turned around slowly, looking around me. “Where are you?” I asked out loud, looking around me. No reply came back to me, so I went around, wondering if there was another opening, somewhere else that could get me out. But the cave was completely sealed off. I took in deep breaths, as I surveyed the walls, and any place that seemed like an opening. It took quite a while for me to accept that I was completely sealed off in the cave, and that there was no leaving, not until I came face to face with the demon. “I'm not dying. It seems like it, but that's not the case.” I said to myself, gathering my courage. The demon wanted
ELIAS'S POVI stared at her to be sure she was really serious, and that she wasn't just going to get my hopes high. “You were on your way here before?” I asked, and she nodded, walking towards me. “I wanted to know if Scarlet was doing fine. I also wanted to tell her it was better if she confined Sylvia, but she wasn't picking up.” She explained. “So how can you help?” I asked, and her mate handed her her bag. She opened it and dipped her hand within. “It so happens that I know this cave.” She said, looking at me as her hand roamed the contents of the bag. “It has two entrances.” She said, taking out a large old piece of parchment. “I've been searching for an entrance since. I couldn't find any. You're sure it hasn't been sealed?” I asked, but she rolled open the parchment, and began to trail her painted red finger on it.“Here.” Fredrick, her mate pointed out.“Yes, here. There's an old mine underneath the cave. It's really large, and it has another entrance.” She explained. “R
SCARLET’S POV “Please take good care of her, Elias.” I urged him as I passed Sylvia over to him.At this point, he was the one who was certain to take good care of her as he ought to. “Where are you going to, Scarlet?” Elias questioned, looking like he was sensing something was wrong. “I have to go away to keep the demon from hurting anyone else. If I stay around here, then it’s going to do worse things we would never expect. Now that I have him captive, it’s the best time to be victorious over it.” Scarlet said, boldly without a hint of fear in her eyes. “Scarlet, if anything is going to get rid of the demon completely, that would be water. It is its true weakness, and that’s why it always hide in the mines.” Ralph informed me. “Thank you so much Ralph. I’ll put that to test.” I said, feeling assured that the demon would be conquered.Already, I could feel the demon struggling to control me, but I guess I had a strong will that made it impossible for it to take over completely.
SCARLET’S POVIt’s been days since the whole demon encounter happened, and I must say, it wasn’t easy. But thanks to the moon goddess who kept showing her mercy, all that is now in the past, and hopefully nothing evil will come up again. I got down from the bed, and sauntered towards the window, and opened up the curtains. It felt so nice to see the sunlight without any problems eating at your soul. The sun was bright and it seemed to be spreading its brightness into my soul and heart.Then I turned away from the window, and sat on the bed again. Now that there were no pending problems, the best thing was to get something to do as I can’t just stay idle, and being bored all day. I began to think of various things I could do until one thought dropped in my head. I had a passion for baking and had always desired to open a bakery; the best bakery ever. “I’m going to inform Elias about this.” I said to myself, happily.The joy of finally knowing what to do, and especially as it’s your p
When night fell, Sylvia laid on her bed, and as she drifted off to sleep, she found herself in a big mansion. "Welcome, Sylvia." "Where am I? And what am I doing right here?" She questioned, looking baffled and scared. "You are in the land of nowhere. Come on, you don't expect to be free just like that. If you want to gain complete freedom, then you'll have to complete a few tasks or you'll never get out of this dream or nightmare; whatever you call it." A woman spoke as she walked down the stairs with two other women.Sylvia knew they were serious about it and she would only waste her time, asking more questions. "Alright, what do I have to do?" "Good. First, you have to get an orb for me, and then when you're back, we'll discuss about what my other sisters would like from you."I summoned the courage and took a deep breath. "Alright, where do I get it?" Sylvia asked, ready to go with what they had said.Before she knew it, they snapped her out of that world and she met hersel
