Scarlet's Blood

Lost

The light is blinding

I open my eyes and found myself lying under  the tree
I must have been past out this evening. I unzip the bag she give me, no clothes just my old blanket I pick the bag and carry it on my back

My feet and body  is full of bruised, it hurts a lot and my stomach is empty it makes me dizzy and feel weak. I stand up and continue walking

Trees are everywhere it makes me think I'm in the middle of the woods

The woods have  a lot of gigantic tree, the animals are walking around and the birds is singing
It makes me feel relaxed a little

At last I found a tree it has a fruit but I don't know what it is and I didn't see it before its small and has a spiky skin , I tried to climb many times and finally I reach its branch and start to collect the fruits

I climbed down and decided to walk more

I stop when I hear voices

I hear a lot of voices looks like there is a village ahead

I don't know that there's a village in here, I've never go out in my house

I started to walk to go  in the village

I can see the entrance,maybe they have food and water

but I stop... and think

What if the people are mean like madam ?
What if they hurt me too?
I turn around and start walking away but I heard a child and a woman talking 
I hide in tall bushes, hoping they won't see me

"Momma please be careful, come back safe" the girl said, she had a white ribbon headband that arrange her long black hair, she has a shiny honey colored eyes
She look worried and her eyes is filled with love

"I will darling, now go back to house help your brother to prepare lunch" her mother said while looking down and  holding her daughter's hand

"Momma here's your food incase you get hungry " the child said while giving a picnic basket full of food , my stomach growled when I see food

The woman gladly take it and smile to her  child

"Thank you Kagura, now go home I love you honey ! tell your brother  and papa I love them"
The woman hug her child last time before the woman leaves

I can't deny that I'm jealous I want to feel how to be loved by someone, how to feel that someone is worried and love you.

She's very lucky

I saw the child named named Kagura enter the village
The village however looks peaceful, children are playing and running everywhere
Some people is laughing with their family , while the others is enjoying the peacefulness of the place

Did I find a heaven?

I'm still hiding here in tall bushes, I'm still scared what if they beat me? What if they don't like me?

"Hey, why are you hiding there young lady"  I was so shock, how did she get there? When I turned around I saw an old woman, her hair is neatly bun her clothes is slightly dirty, and she smiled revealing some wrinkles. She's short and kinda thin
My eyes widen and when my eyes turn to her hands I  start to panicked when I saw her holding a thin stick

"Please don't hurt me with that stick I'm going to leave now please don't hurt me please:
I kneel in front of her to beg not to hit me, covering my head incase she hit me

"Oh no, I will not gonna do that I use this to help me walk easier and please don't be scared now stand up please" she said in very calming voice

I stand and I met her eyes , she travelled her eyes around my body  and very shocked of what she see covered in bruised, I can see it in her eyes the sadness and pity?

Who did this to you?? She said in a worrying tone while holding my arms gently and looking at my wounds

I didn't answer, her name makes me tremble, I'm scared . I didn't notice that I was  silently crying

"Oh dear, come on to my house let me get you some food and clean clothes, follow me"she turn around and starts to walk

When I heard food I follow her without hesitation and walk behind her

I guess this is it there's no turning back now all I want is to eat and drink

Because I want to live I want to have a new life

When we already entered the village the people looking at me I hide into old woman's back they look at me with confused and pity expression on their faces

The old woman looked and slightly laught
"Don't worry you're safe here, no one will dare to hurt you" she look to people and smile at her and they smile back and wave at her

The houses was made in brick stone, each house has a small garden full of different flowers and plants it has a low fences that support the garden

I looked down and praying that they won't hurt me,

Did I belong in this place? Is there a place for a bruised thin and weak girl?

Im looking down i cant keep my head up, dizziness is attacking me again. We walked a little longer I don't know where we are or where we are going

I can't walk any longer my feet is getting worse, like all my bones were turn into pieces

She  stop walking. I see a small house,rusty roof I can say that it's different from other houses in the village , the walls is made in thick woods and there are some some fire logs neatly placed beside her house

"Welcome to your new home"
