Hey guys this is my third person version, tell me which one you like better. This one isn't finished either but I'm curious which one I should continue on with.
Lily was walking the path she had once memorised when she was a little girl, dodging all the branches and sticks until she came into an opening. She gasped at the beauty that was in front of her. The grass was a striking green, the moon making it shimmer like emerald crystals. The forest caressed the surface of the meadow, creating a small but efficient field.
She used to love coming here when she was seven, playing hide and seek with her brother. Things had changed since then however.
Lily loathed her brother. Ever since their mother had died, Calian had overlooked her.
With a twinge of sorrow Lily clasped the Sapphire necklace between her fingers. Feeling the cool moon shaped crystal that had been supported around her neck by a delicate silver chain for countless years. She had memorised this necklace as a child, it had always hung around her mother's neck, stopping below the collarbone.
She peered around her hesitantly, there was barely any light. The moon was alluring to her as it was the only light that surrounded her. Feeling alone and anxious she wondered what it would feel like if she were closer to the moon.
Lily heard the bell that indicated it was one minute to midnight. Her heart accelerated and her eyes clamped shut. She felt the breeze suddenly blow faster, making her long golden hair sway. Her arms wrapped around themselves as she swore at herself for not putting on a jumper before she left. Her indigo eyes stared at the full moon.
To Lily's surprise the moon started to change colour, to a light blue. She had heard rumours about transformation, it sounded horrifying, but to witness the ritual that took place in front of her, she felt privileged.
Until the moon twisted into a red so dark it reminded her of blood. Startled, Lily tried to remember the stories told to her. Fear overwhelmed her as she realised something was wrong, the ritual was out of place. She felt electricity run up and down her slim body.
Overwhelmed with terror she absently stepped back, tripping over a bulky hidden branch. To her horror rain drops of blood had started to land on the grass. Her back stained of blood where she had fallen.
A shriek escaped her, the electricity still running strong. She arched over, burying her face in her hands.
Lily peeked through her hands at the now blinding blood red moon, the light hurtling downward lit the meadow like a football stadium. She gasped when she saw no clouds, the blood appearing from a clear navy sky.
The electricity turned to pain surging through her body. She heard faint rings from the distance, it was now five seconds from midnight.
To Lily's relief the pain started to grow fainter, the blood red moon became a light crimson and the droplets of blood slowed eventually coming to a stop.
She breathed out a sigh and sat up, ignoring the final last ache in her stomach. The moon was now gleaming white again. She lifted her hands to wipe her face of sweat. She became alarmed when she saw her hands covered in blood.
Lily whipped her head frantically around her, her golden hair streaked with dark red. Everything was covered in blood.
