Scarlett Secret PT-2

Just when the man was about to hit Scarlett on the head with a brick, time suddenly stopped.

.....

She had lost consciousness, but that was not the case. Once her vision cleared, what she had thought a pitch-black night sky turned out not to be a complete void. The stars were twinkling, and a familiar-looking blue, glowing planet caught her eye. However, her field of vision was mostly occupied by the sun.

She sat up.

'Are these temple ruins…?'

Stone columns in a rugged style reminiscent of Greek temples circled the place, and the floor was of the same gray stone. It seemed the building where she had lain down was at a relatively high elevation, and similar architectures lined up beyond the pillars. The strange thing was that the sky was black even though the horizon was visible.

'There must be no atmosphere.'

With no atmosphere, there was no light transmission, which in turn resulted in a lack of light scattering, making the sky look black even when the sun rose. Obviously, one wouldn't be able to breathe without an atmosphere, so she got up thinking that it was a vivid dream.

"It's not a dream."

Scarlett turned towards the voice. A strange women was standing there wearing the kind of robe that medieval monks would wear, her face obscured by the hood. Scarlett slightly bent down to check if she could get a peek at the women's face, but all she saw was darkness.

Scarlett asked, "who are you, and what happened to me?"

"Scarlett , I'm You. You have also been chosen."

" Also You were going to get killed by that guy"

"I knew you have many questions like in your mind, how you are here, who I am but I don't have much time to tell you all these thing.. may next time we meet I'll tell you....

....

Scarlett blinked, and before asking how the women knew her name or what the women meant by 'chosen,' something more peculiar piqued her attention this time.

But when she about to talk various supernatural phenomena happening with her at that moment she found herself back to the present when man about to the hit brick on Scarlett's head.

,.....

"Ah — —" Emily screamed.

Scarlett turned around and kicked the man away.

Emily was dumbfounded. She didn't understand how Scarlett did it!

After beating the man up, Scarlett left with the basket on her back. She didn't even look at Emily. It made people think that she only beat them up because they were in her way.

Emily recovered from her shock and stood up while trembling. "You … wait!"

Scarlett continued to walk forward.

Emily wanted to chase after her, but her clothes were torn by the men. If she walked out like this, they would see her naked body. She was so anxious that tears came out of her eyes.

Scarlett stopped in her tracks and fidgeted with her hair. She took out her cotton-padded jacket from the basket and threw it on Emily.

Emily was stunned. She looked at the jacket and then looked at Scarlett. "You … aren't you cold?"

"Give it to me if you don't want to wear it." Scarlett reached out her hand.

"Wear it! I'll wear it! "Emily quickly put on the jacket.

Scarlett's jacket was a little thin, especially around the chest area. It made Emily panic.

Emily bent down to pick up the herbs on the ground. She whispered to Scarlett, "Just now … thank you."

She didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing. She also didn't expect Scarlett to save her. Her feelings were a little complicated, but no matter what, her gratitude came from the bottom of her heart.

It was also at this moment that she was sure that Scarlett was different from before.

"You … Are you not stupid anymore?" She asked cautiously.

Scarlett didn't answer her.

"She's still a fool …" Otherwise, why would she save her?She had bullied her in the past.

Scarlett: "…"

Suddenly, Emily saw blood dripping from Scarlett's left hand. "You're injured!"

Scarlett said indifferently, "It's not my blood."

She wasn't lying. It really wasn't hers.

However, she thought of something and wiped the blood off with a handkerchief.

Emily turned around and looked at the four bastards on the ground. They didn't bleed, so where did the blood on this girl's hand come from? What was she doing just now?

The two of them left the alley.

Scarlett looked at the sky.

Emily suddenly grabbed her sleeve and looked at her pitifully. "I … can I go back to the village with you?"

Scarlett frowned.

She didn't want to go back to the village.

Emily felt that it was reasonable for Scarlett to refuse. After all, she didn't have a good relationship with Scarlett. Scarlett had saved her because they were from the same village. There was no need for her to take her back to the village.

Emily silently withdrew her hand.

Scarlett said indifferently, "I have to go to the academy first."

Emily's eyes lit up. She raised her head and asked, "Can I go with you?"

Scarlett didn't say anything.

She turned around and walked towards the east of the town.

Emily tried to follow her. When she saw that Scarlett didn't chase her away, she was happy also way she look at Scarlett the way women in love look at her men.... Then she start following her.

But the Scarlett don't the the girl she save would be fall in love with her just in few moments...

.....

Emily had her feet bound. So emily with bound feet walked slowly.

Scarlett scratched her head in annoyance, but she still stopped and waited for her.

When the two of them arrived at the academy, classes had just ended.

Ethan walked out with his bag of books. He was stunned when he saw Scarlett in the alley across from him.

He walked over with a normal expression and asked, "Are you also nearby today?"

"Yes." Scarlett answered vaguely.

Emily was shocked. The distance from the market to here was at least seven or eight li. This, this, this … How could this be called nearby?

Ethan finally saw Emily beside Scarlett.

A trace of surprise flashed through Ethan's eyes. No matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out how the two of them were together. Furthermore, Emily was wearing Scarlett's clothes.

The ox cart was already waiting in the alley. He had told him in the morning to pick them up at five in the morning.

The three of them got on the ox cart. Scarlett sat in the middle of the two of them.

Emily used to have a good impression of Ethan, but after that terrible incident, she still had lingering fears of men. She didn't even greet Ethan.

Ethan didn't care about Emily's attitude towards him. He just felt that it was a bit strange, but he didn't ask.

Scarlett gave her cotton-padded jacket to Emily. She only had a thin jacket on. She didn't feel cold when they were on the road, but once she sat down, she felt a bit cold.

Ethan looked down at his school uniform and couldn't help but hesitate. If he gave it to her, their relationship didn't seem that good. If he didn't give it to her, she would freeze. Just as he was hesitating, he saw Emily weakly lean towards Scarlett. She used her body to warm Scarlett.

Ethan: "…"

After the ox cart passed through the alley, they saw Thomas waiting there.

Richard had already been "driven" home, so Thomas was the only one waiting for the ox cart.

Thomas didn't care about Emily on the ox cart. He only looked at the expressionless Scarlett and Ethan. When he thought of how calm they were in the morning, he suddenly felt that they had already guessed that this would be the outcome from the Beginning.

Whose idea was it? Ethan's? Or this little fool's?

A light breeze blew. Scarlett gently parted the hair covering her face. She didn't mind revealing the birthmark on her face.

Thomas had never seen Scarlett like this before.

No, he had actually seen it before. It was on the morning of the exam. She had pulled him down from the ox cart. At that time, she was just as calm as she was now. But at that time, he was in a fit of anger and didn't notice.

What exactly happened to this little fool? She suddenly changed her personality. She suddenly stopped coming to the bell residence for meals and suddenly got along with Ethan.

"Are you thirsty?" Emily took off the water bag from her waist and handed it to Scarlett.

Even Widow Emily, who always didn't get along with her, became her friend?

Thomas frowned deeply.

The ox cart arrived at the village. Thomas jumped off the ox cart.

Scarlett didn't fight with him. She just sat on the ox cart and looked at him with a faint smile. "Remember to send Tom to school tomorrow."

Thomas clenched his fists.

...

After returning home, Scarlett felt particularly cold today. Her hands and feet were ice cold. At night, her period came.

People in the countryside didn't have enough nutrition, so their periods came late. She was already fourteen years old, but this was her first time having her period.

She didn't know if it was because she had fallen into the water a few days ago, but the cold air was too strong. In addition to the wind today, her stomach hurt very badly.

She had been in the organization for many years and was already used to all kinds of pain. But she couldn't tolerate this kind of pain during her period.

Emily came to return Scarlett's clothes. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Scarlett sitting on a chair with a pale face. She immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Scarlett lightly said.

This woman who could kill four men with one punch during the day was now so weak that she couldn't even stand up. How could it be nothing? Emily looked at her hands covering her stomach and said, "Ah, you're having your period?"

Scarlett didn't have the energy to pay attention to her.

Ethan heard the commotion in the room. He walked over and asked, "What happened?"

Scarlett didn't say anything, but Emily said, "Her period came. It hurts very badly. Do you have brown sugar at home? Boil a bowl for her. "

Ethan suddenly froze.

Emily didn't think too much about it. She thought that since the two of them had been married for half a year, they must have already consummated their marriage. There was nothing that couldn't be said.
