Chapter 3

Scarlet Estelle's POV

2 Weeks Later....

It's been 2 weeks since that incident happen. And to my surprise I woke up only yesterday. I've been asleep for a week and 5 days. And there is only 2 days left for my Birthday that's why everything was in a rush. I was still not allowed to get out of bed since I was still recovering.

I was still at shock on what had happened to me. And no one would even tell me why I had that pain and why it felt like a source of energy was flowing through all over my body. I was still in complete and utter disbelief. Even my Aunt Cana was still in a panic about the situation that she told me to only rest and read the book until I finish it and she'll take care of the preparations for the party. Well at first I declined but she insisted and kept telling me to rest. So to avoid her for being too paranoid I obliged and did what I was told. I'm still in my bed and reading and being taken care off.

Which I hated, I don't like depending on other people that often and I don't like the idea of being taken care of. But I'll consider it today. I was in the middle of reading when the maids told me that it was time to drink the medicine. I nodded and closed the book and then placing it above my duvets and comforter.

They handed me my medicine and a glass of water. I drank the bitter medicine and then quickly drank the water. I coughed a little and handed over the glass.

"Thank you" I said with a small smile in my face. The maids smiled and bowed there head.

"You are welcome my lady. It is an honor to serve you and the mistress" with that they excused themselves and left me all to myself in my room to read. Everyone seems to be acting quite weird today. Or is it just my imagination? I sighed and shake my head. I don't know anymore. I continued reading the book until it was already late in the afternoon.

"I'm hungry" I said to myself. I was about to call a maid but then I soon realize I could just bake the food myself. Yeah, that would be nice. It's been a while since I baked something. I got off bed and slip my sandals in my feet and went outside my room. I should ask Aunt Cana if she wants something to eat also. I went to Aunt Cana's studies and knocked. But no responds. I knocked again. No respond once again.

"Is Aunt Cana not in her studies?" I mumbled to myself. I knocked once again and waited for a few minutes but still no respond from Aunt Cana. I was about to leave and look for her when I heard her voice from the inside of her studies. I stood in front of Aunt Cana's door hesitant to either eavesdrop or enter or just leave. But I was too curious on what Aunt Cana was talking about. Was she talking with someone else or just the butler? And so I choose to eavesdrop. This is so not me but curiosity drove my body on its own will.

"Canaria, you know what situation we are in." Canaria? I haven't heard of Aunt Cana's full name in a while.

"I know about that, but it's already happening. And we cannot contain nor hide it anymore. Once it breaks then that's it. They'll find her and you know we cannot protect her. I can't protect her!" Frustration was heard in Aunt Cana's tone of voice. But what are they talking about? Protecting who? Is it me?

"I already talked to him about it but even he can't do anything about. He's already busy and irritated about what's happening" Who? Him? What is going on?

"I know that Sire! But we can't ignore this!" Aunt Cana spat out of anger and irritation. And with that I entered and asked.

"Ignore what Aunt Cana?" The room filled with silence as I walked towards them but I wasn't close enough to the man that was in the room and he wore a cape with a hood that covered his face. He stiffened when he saw me. I can't even see his face. Aunt Cana's face went white and she paled as if she saw a ghost.

"S-S-Scarlet..d-d-dear...what...wha—" she stuttered as she stood up and went near me. Even the butler went near me and asked what I need for me to be here.

"Ignore what Aunt Cana? What were you discussing about? Was it about me and what happened to me?" I asked ignore their question to me. Aunt Cana, went silent and was confuse on what to answer.

"S-Scarlet dear, it's still not the time." Not the time? Not the time to tell me what the hell is actually going on with me or even my life?!

"Not the time for what Aunt Cana? Aunt Cana, I think I deserved to know. Especially, after what had happened to me." I said in a tone that made them silent and even more scared to tell me the truth. I looked at the man who wore the hooded cape. I know he was looking at me I couldn't look at him since his face was covered.

"Who are you may I ask" I questioned him but he didn't answered. He just stood there. He stood like he owned everything too much confidence was flowing through him. I could feel him trying to intimidate me but I didn't even try to avoid looking at him. I was about to ask him again but Aunt Cana finally spoke.

"Scarlet, Its best for you not know yet. I'll tell you everything the day of your birthday" Aunt Cana said. I looked at her and was about to oppose but pain swept through my chest until through my stomach. Which made me lose my balance but strong arms caught me before the cold floor hit my body. I groaned in pain when it worsens. Not again. Aunt Cana panicked and told the butler to get the Healer.

"Aaaggrhh!! Aunt C-cana." It hurts! My eyes watered in the pain I felt. This is no normal sickness. This is not normal at all! I groaned and groaned until something snapped in me that made the pain unbearable and I screamed and cried even louder.

"WHERE IS THE HEALER?!" The man holding me shouted that made me even shiver. And with his shout everyone was in a panic and my head started to get even dizzier. I held his hand even if mine were shaking.

"P-p-please...do..don't..s..shout...my..h..head..hur...hurts..when..you..shout.." I said as my voice weakened. I can't anymore...the pain is too much for me!

"I...I'm sorry" He picked me up as he stood up and asked where my room was. One of the maids told him where my room was located and as soon as he knew. He went outside and two maids followed assisting him. Once we reached my room he gently laid me down my bed.

"You're going to be alright" he said gently to me. I only nodded weakly. I was still crying and my whole body was shaking and shivering and it wouldn't stop anytime soon. In fact it even got worse. I don't know what snapped inside my body but I do know that when it snapped the pain gotten unbearable an intolerable.

The healer finally arrived and checked me. He took my hands and felt my pulse. He looked at my Aunt Cana and the Man. He looked at them, and gave them a look. This made my Aunt gasped in horror.

"A...aunt..." I called out my Aunt with my very dwindle voice. Aunt went near me and held my hand. The healer whispered to the man and nodded in responds. The man went near me and he told me to close my eyes. And so I did.

I don't know what he did but when he touched my forehead I fell asleep. I couldn't feel the pain anymore. What did he do? How did he do it? I have so many questions that are left igno—

"There's my little Scarlet at"

Who? I looked behind me and I saw it. I thought darkness was all I could see from here but then when I looked again. The darkness faded away and replaced by a scene of a very fantastical and beautiful garden. And I saw a little girl...wait.. is that me!? It couldn't be me. I never met my Father before and I don't have red hair and white silver hair on the end tips.

"Daddy!!" the little girl giggled and went to the man whose face was a blur. The little girl hugged the man who she called Daddy. What is this again? An illusion made from my pain or another trick?

"Daddy, Scarlet missed you! Where did you go today with big brothers?" the little girl pouted adorably. The man let out a laugh and kissed the little girl in the cheeks before answering.

"We were in the central princess. And I miss you too my princess" the man said in a father like voice. Why do I feel like I'm yearning for that kind of treatment from a Father?

The man and the little girl bonded and played like a true father and daughter. I'll admit I am jealous while looking at this scene. But why do I feel like I already felt the feeling of having a loving father? I don't understand at all!

"Are you two having fun without me?" I froze. I looked at the person who said those words. It couldn't be my mother. When my eyes found that person my whole body weakened. No, it couldn't be. Mother has chestnut brown hair not white silver hair. But no matter how many times I blinked it was my mother. She was my mother. But what?! What is happening with my memory!?

"Mommy!!" the little girl squealed and ran towards my...mother. Mother bent down and hugged the little girl, and carried her while kissing her forehead and her nose. Like the way she use to with me. It was definitely my Mom.

"Did you miss Mommy Scarlet Estelle?" Mom smiled sweetly as she said those words. My eyes widen even more. So... it...is...me? My head suddenly felt dizzy and I the scene was beginning to fade the last thing I saw in the scene was two boys hugging my little self and a Happy Family of 5.

With that the scene faded and darkness covered everything.
