Unexpected
_Scarlet Isabelle Violet!!!_ my sister yelled, ugh I hated when she uses my whole name
_What's the matter with you!!! You almost give me a heart attack!!!_She yelled again
_Sorry mom!!!_ I said crossing my arms; I was sitting on my bed, Camille looked at me angrily
_For now on, you will never leave this house, you are grounded_ she said putting her eyebrows together and a hand on her forehead
_Camille!!! I can't stay here!! And last but not least YOU CANT GROUND ME!!!_ I yelled in the last words
_Mom and dad are dead, so the older sister is the leader now_ she said crossing her arms
_perhaps older, but it doesn't mean you get to be mom's replacements_ I said angrily
She looked at me annoyed and puzzled, then her expression relaxed
_You are right, I'm sorry, but promise to tell me before you go to any place ok?_ she said calmly
_Okidokey_ I said smiling with relieve and satisfaction
_You are so out of your mind you know that_ Camille said arching an eyebrow
_Yes, I know_ I said smiling even wider and got out running to the stables hopping to find Diamondback there.
He was there, the joy was so big that I had to scream, I did and ran to him; he was lying on the ground with a sheet over the place where the arrow hit, I hug him on the neck as usual and he smiles to me.
_Oh Diamondback! I was so worried thank god!!!_ I said kissing him all over his face and hugged him one more time, but then I heard a chuckle from behind me, I quickly got up from the ground and turned; I saw the blond boy standing right next to me, my longs were frozen with his view, even if I could speak I didn't know what the hell to say!
_Hi_ he said softly, I just waved and finally thought something to say
_Hey_ I said OMG couldn't I say anything else AND WHY AM I SO SCARED ANYWAY!!! , then I thought my next move aaa thank god!!
_ I haven't got the chance to thank you for everything_ I said kneeling again and pattered Diamondback's head; he smiled
_It was a pleasure, I mean it wasn't a pleasure to have you running for your life, but it was good saving you, I . . . I mean ugh_ he said hitting himself on the head, no guy ever got nervous when speaking to me they were always so confident and arrogant, but he was the opposite; he looked at me worriedly
_Don't worry I understood every word_ I said looking at him with my expression calmed, he half smiled and then Diamondback grunted, Diamondback was behaving really odd this time, more than usual I mean
_Hey what's wrong with you Diamondback?_ I asked putting my eyebrows together in confusion
_My name is Stephan Woods_ he said kneeling next to me and tried to patter his Diamondback's head but he almost bite Stephan
_Scarlet Violet_ I said, suddenly Stephan froze and posed his gaze on my necklace, and he slowly lifted his head and faced my eyes
_Where did you get that?_ he asked seriously and not taking his eyes of me
_ I have it since I can remember_ I said blushing intensely and looking away because of his stare
_Who were your parents?_ he asked his voice had hardened
_ Reinald Violet and Clarisse Violet_ I said; why is he asking those questions? And why suddenly he froze when I told who I was and when he saw my necklace? Does it have to do anything with the murder of my parents?
_Hey Scarlet, Stephan_ said Mary happily before I could ask some of the questions that jumped in my mind, Stephan got up and walked to Mary, he whispered something and her face turned from happiness to surprise
_We have to go_ said Stephan grabbing Mary's arm
_See you Scarlet_ she said and go.
_Weird_ I said to Diamondback
_Scarlet!!!_ my sister yelled
_Coming!!!_ I yelled back
_Hope you get better buddy, tonight I will come to check you out_ I said kissing his neck and walked to the house
* * *
The day went out pretty fast, it was a good thing.
I touched my necklace and squeeze the little ruby in my hand, I wish that by squeezing it all his secrets be reveled; I looked at the clock and saw that it was 9:30 pm, already had my pajamas on, it was my mother's.
I silently walked through the stairs, then the garden and finally the stables; of course that Diamondback was there but he was quieter than usual
_Hello Diamondback_ I said, I waited to see any expression on his face but saw nothing
_Diamondback what's wrong?_ I asked. . . still nothing, but then I figure all out and smiled with triumph
_ I know why you are angry_ I said smugly, he suddenly lifted his head and looked at me, I smiled even wider
_You didn't like Stephan did you?_ I said sitting next to him, he shook his head
_Don't worry you will always be my little brother_ I said hugging him
_And to prove it_ I said taking off a bracelet and tied it on his front paw; I looked at him and remember the first time I saw him, when I was seven, I found him when he was just a foal, laying on the ground just like now, my parents let me keep him and I name him Diamondback; the first time I saw him I knew he had something special, and he did, he had stayed with me ever since, even after my parents died; and now that I think it they never find their bodies the fire men said that they burned until they became dust, but Diamondback was always there, he grew with me like a brother.
The wind blew and I shivered but not with the wind but for the memory of my old house burned away.
_ I . . . I better go now_ I said trying to shake that memory off, it appeared that he tried to scream, I smiled and sited back.
_Ok I'll stay then_ I said laying my head on Diamondback's head and quickly fall asleep.
I felt the flames burning my skin; the smoke was keeping me from breathing, I coughed and my lungs began to hurt.
_Mom!!! Dad!!!_ I yelled trying to find them in the thick black smoke
Suddenly the fire collapsed the same as the smoke; the figure of my dad stood in front of me smiling, tears flooded my eyes.
_Dad!!!_ I screamed joyfully running to him as fast as I could give, I felt the muscles of my legs working but my dad wasn't getting any closer.
_DAD! DAD! DAD!_ I yelled desesperally but still nothing; with my desperation I fell down but before I could touch the ground a white hand caught my waist, I saw a beautiful boy dressed with silver clothe and using the same bracelet I gave Diamondback, he had hair just like Diamondback and me, I looked at him amazed with his beauty, he kissed me on the neck softly and a sudden darkness filled all the place.
I now know that it was all a dream the light of the morning shined in my face, the dream was so vivid so real that it hardly seemed as one.
I stretched and felt hair in my hand, I looked and saw Diamondback, I must of sleep here; the sun was even shiner than yesterday, and without a warning Diamondback licked my face.
_Ew! Diamondback I know that you like me so you don't have to prove it!_ I said cleaning my face, Diamondback seemed to be laughing
_Ha ha very funny_ I said getting up, I touched my arm the feeling of the scratches had disappeared; I gasped and look at it . . . wow Mary was totally right.
Then I had a crazy idea, I got the sheet off Diamondback's and saw that the wound disappeared too, I smiled.
_ I'm coming for you later_ I said running to the house
I put on a red dress with golden sashes and tied my hair on a pony tail
_Scarlet!! Someone wants to see you!_ Camille called me from downstairs, there was something strange in her voice, she was like singing to me, who wants to see me anyway? Mmm that's something you don't see every day, well there were some guys who wanted to see me, but of course I had said no; I already was in the table and saw someone I didn't expect what so ever.
_Stephan what are you doing here?_ I asked with my face composed, he was talking with my sister on the table, they both stand when they saw me.
Camille crossed her arms and grinned widely, I ignored her
_I just wanted to talk to you . . . and see if you wanted to take a walk with me_ he said half smiling
_Do it!_ my sister whispered, I glared at her for an instant and focused on Stephan's proposal
_ok lets go_ I finally accepted
Stephan opened the door for me and we walked outside; suddenly Stephan grabbed my wrist and dragged me to the forest.
_Hey hey!! Where are we going?_ I asked surprised and confused with his actions the past 3 seconds
_ I need to talk to you urgently, and we had to go somewhere quiet and lonely more commonly known as forest_ he said grabbing me tighter.
_You just had to tell me and I would follow you_ I said arching an eyebrow, he chuckled but still kept walking.
I didn't why and specially what did Stephan needed to tell me; ok I'm not usually a curious person, but these past days curiosity has become my second name, the necklace, Stephan's questions, even my dreams could mean something; one thing I was sure about was that something was behind all this and I was going to figure it all.
Please people!! Review!!!!!!
