Ch. 173

173

 Scarlet became extremely sad at the mention of her birthday and thought about the last birthday that she had celebrated. It was so long ago that she had to really think about it. Of course, she knew when her birthday was, but it had been so long since she was able to do anything to celebrate it. Not that she felt like doing anything to celebrate it in the First place.

Her Family had been massacred on the Day of her birth after all.

The last birthday that she had celebrated was her Seventh birthday. Her Family had always made a big deal when it came to birthdays, and she was always excited when it was her turn.

They had celebrated from the moment that she woke up to the moment that she passed out from exhaustion. They played all of her favorite games, ate all of her favorite foods, and she couldn't have been happier.

If only she had known that it would have been the last that she would celebrate with them she would have done something more to make it more.

But it was too late now for all of that. Being more than Ten Years that had passed since she had last seen them, Scarlet couldn't make herself be happy about her birthday.

She remembered it clear as day when she returned home excited for her surprise that her Family had promised her after she finished her training. Scarlet couldn't believe the sight before her eyes.

The sight of her whole Family lying on the ground unmoving. Pieces of them blown up and others trying to protect the children by using themselves as shields. With all of their homes still burning and things thrown around.

It was clear that they were looking for someone or something, but they couldn't find it. Rushing forward into the wreckage Scarlet tried to find her Mother and Father hoping that they were still alive, but when she finally found them, they were already gone.

The way that the elders were all tossed to the side just proved that the Ones responsible for this were after information. Information that they clearly didn't get.

As the sight before her finally sank in she rushed to her parents and began to cry out for them. Thus drawing the attention of the Murders that were still there. 

Unbeknown to Scarlet some of the Murders were sneaking into the room with her. Being so distraught Scarlet didn't notice them until Matt cleared his throat and said, "Well well well looks like we miss One. Hahaha. What do you want to bet that this little demon will tell us everything that we want to know?"

Ethen said, "If I took that bet then I would defiantly lose, so why don't we just get this over with and end her."

As they closed in on Scarlet all that she remembers is that she closed her eyes and screamed "Stay away from me!" and quickly made her way to the Safe Room. When she seen that it was blocked she knew that she didn't have the time to do anything and took off into the woods. She was trying to get to the only other place that she knew was safe.

Her Masters little house was not far away, and as she finally reached the porch, and she reached her hand out for the door handle. All she wanted to do was open it and run into her Masters safe arms.

But before she could make it to the door a massive explosion sent her flying back and only to land in the stream by the little house.

Surprisingly enough she still had a small bit of luck as she ended up floating downstream and right into a small cove that was inaccessible to the surrounding area. It was there that she was left for dead, and she stayed there for a few days to heal up.

When she was finally able to move around, she went back home to look around for anyone that may have made it and search for anything that she could salvage. But she discovered that there was no One left alive and hardly anything that she couldn't salvage much.

What the people didn't steal, they destroyed. Lost in her memories and sorrow she didn't realize that there were people still around. After she forced herself to calm down some, she noticed that there was someone still in the area and they had spotted her before she had seen them.

He cried out, "I got a kid here!"

As the man began to come after her, she took off a dead run and what she didn't realize at the time, but this was only the beginning of a long and tiring chase. A chase that would last until the day that she ended up here.

Scarlet was pulled from her memories when she heard her Males calling for her. Travis said, "My Love, are you alright? We are sorry if asking you that hurt or upset you."

Shaking her head she looked at all of them and said, "I'm fine. It's just that the day of my Birth is…" Taking a few deep breaths she continued, "My birthday was the day that I returned home from my training."

It was then that they realized what she was talking about. It was the day of her Family's massacre. No wonder she didn't want to talk about what happened.

The group tried to make her feel better and Nick said, "My Love, I have an idea."

After Scarlet gave him her full attention he smiled and said, "How about we make new memories. We can celebrate your birthday and make it a happy memory for you. What do you say? It will be with your new Family that you built."

Thinking about it for a while Scarlet took a deep breath and said, "I would like that. I think that it is time for me to move on from this nightmare that I have been trapped in."

Looking at each of the members of her new Family, she smiled and said, "I love you all so much. I'm sorry if I am in any trouble. I don't mean to be."
