Scarlet's Blood

Blue and Tattoo

I woke up,and stared at the wall clock the clock points at 12, oh no i said that i going to help sarah.

"Mama, you must take care of yourself come with me so I can take care of you" a unfamiliar voice said she sound a little bit upset

"No, Annie " Sarah said in calm voice. I got up and slowly walk and slightly open the door to listen to their conversation. So this is Sarah's daughter, she look a lot like Sarah but younger, her hair is light brown and it is neatly tied. Her dress look expensive, I think she is rich

"Why are you so stubborn! I said come with me ! Can't you understand that??" Annie shouted this time, she looks very angry

"I said no Annie, I can take care of myself and besides I can't just leave here I'm sorry" Sarah try to look brave in front of  Annie. I was about to go back to bed  when I accidently hit my feet in the table and I fall

"what is that?"Annie said I hear her footstep is getting near and she open the door. She look suprise and the she became angry she grab my arm and dragged me outside the bedroom

"Is this the reason why you can't leave and go with me? Huh Mama? This trash?" She squeeze my arm even more........ This feeling the pain is back

"Don't you dare hurt her " Sarah carefully snatch me from Annie, Sarah is completely different now she look very angry. I hug her and bury my face to her dress. She caress my head

"Erza look at me" I was already crying when our eyes met, Sarah's tears is about to flow but she tightly shut her eyes and open again

"Do you want to help right?" She kneel down and forcefully smile, she reached something in her pocket, a wallet

"Can you buy me a dozen of roses, it is near at the shop where we buy your clothes" I nod and I was about to leave when she grabbed my hands

"Erza come back here okay" I nod and looked down because I'm scared in Annie. Maybe I should go she help me sleep in her house, she feed me and even buy me clothes she done too much and I think it's time to leave.

She was about to give the wallet

"Erza in these  days I know what are you thinking, come back here your new home" I look away but she squeeze my hand

"Promise me please "she raise her voice I look at her and she is sobbing,crying. Oh please no, what am I thinking I should go back to her she is the only who cared for me, the person that makes me feel that I'm loved and special

"I will come back Sarah, I promise" I look at her in the eyes and smile

"What a drama, can you please stop that Mama "Annie said I glance at her quickly  an evil smirked played upon her lips. Sarah and i gnore her and she gave me the wallet. And cup my face

"Keep your promise erza, I will die if you don't come back "she whisper and stand

"I want the fresh and red ones ok " she is now smiling. When I reach the door she looks worried and hide it with smile

"A promise is a promise" I smile at her and left the house.

I was running but when I enter the village I walk, the village is still busy.

I walk slowly to memorize my way back to home. As usual people is looking at me, I didn't notice that I'm wearing a oversized blue t - shirt the ones I wear when my first day to Sarah's house. I remember this way , this is where Sarah buy the flowers. The flowers are beautifully arranged based on their kinds, the orange tulips, white and yellow marigolds, White daisy and of course roses there are white ones they are beautiful but Sarah wants the red ones.

The owner notice me

"Hello there young pretty girl, you are not from here are you?" He is in middle aged man wearing a shirt and jeans

"Yeah I'm with Sarah" I look down. I'm too shy to talk to other people

"Oh Sarah I didn't know she has a beautiful granddaughter, what can I get you ummhhh" he look nice he is smiling and asking for my name

"Erza, one dozen of rose please"

"Okay " he nod and grab roses the arranged them and put additional three flowers

"Because you're beautiful and you know Sarah so I give the you the three rose for free" I gasp , he give me the bouquet and I smell It and close my eyes. I heard him laugh. I unzip the wallet

"Here " I give him the money.

" Wait here I'll get the change" he went inside the store

"Hey kid!" I look and saw three tall drunk men I noticed that because of their smell and the way they move. I immediately panicked the muscular one evilly smirked  and pointed the wallet

"Can I have that please" he laugh, no this is Sarah's money this is all she got, I run the rain started to fall it makes the way slippery and the sky is dark

"Hey!! You can't get away from us catch him boys!!" I run faster people are looking at me but I don't care

"Hey!!" He shout again I run to the forest to easily lose them. I run to the woods but shocked when the two men was in front of me, how did they get here?

"Heh, can't run now kid" their leader said and getting near me .

"Give me that "he snatched the wallet and the two men hold my arms their leader bend down to face me

"Pretty but not too tough hehehehe" he punched me into stomach I fall down, I cough and the blood is all over my mouth. Ouch it hurts the rain keeps falling and the sky is darker before

"If you give it to us earlier you wouldn't be hurt" He kicked me and his men kicked me too

"Please stop" I beg but they don't stop, I can't feel my body I think it's the end

"Hey stop you fools" sounds like a boy

"Boss someone see us let's go " their leader nod and they run fast. My vision is all blurred I'm gonna faint soon but I'm going home I promise Sarah

"Hey, hey, let me help " he lifts me and carry me

I looked up to see who save me but all I see is blur his hair is blue and what that on his left cheek drop of blood? Drawing? a tattoo?

"I'm gonna get you out of here,hang on please"

And then i slowly closing my eyes
