Scarlett's PoV

I need to be stronger to survive.
The real truth of what happened that day,
Timeline : When Scarlett and Cecilia was just kidnapped when they were 3

"I am not alone," I whispered to myself as the moonlight shine on me through a small crack. The light was small but it was enough to comfort me. I have been separated from Cece for a month now and the thought that something will happen to her is driving me mad. I can slowly feel my insanity fading away as I hugged my knees and repeated the only sentence I have been saying for the past few days. "I am not alone," I whispered again , but this time a little bit louder .

I lost track of what time , day and month it was. All I know that It felt like I was in that cold hard cell for an eternity. 'What are they going to do to me?' the question played in my head at least a million times. 'Father will come for Cece and me,' I consoled myself . But the fact that I am still sitting on this cold , damp and moldy floor did not help much. Father is the Queen's Watchdog, the Evil Noblemen who is feared by the Scotland yard and is respected by the Queen.. He must be looking for me isn't he?

Its funny how the little things means so much to me now as I sit on this floor reeking like a spoilt onion . I miss everything and everybody. I knew that I was special compared to other young girls my age. I could remember every single book I read, recite the hardest poetry , defeat a grown man in a game of chess and I am exceptionally skilled with a sword. I am special , is that why they kidnapped me? A 3 and half year old girl who knows more about the cruel world than she should at her age.

A girl who has no interest in fluffy toys and frilly ribbons . A girl who rather study economics than sewing , who rather read the newspaper than fairytales, who prefer staying in a candle lit room studying than running around in the garden, a girl who puts on a façade everyday just to be viewed as a normal , sweet little girl who does nothing useful and beneficial with her time . I am the daughter of a Lady and an Earl. An Earl who pretends to be a philanthropist but in actual fact , works underground , cleaning up the royal family's mess for bribe money.

If only I was a bit stronger, then I would not be stuck in this god forsaken place. "Why is this happening to me? What did I do? Am I a bad child?" I asked myself countless of times . As I watched the moon disappear and the sun appear from that tiny crack countless times , my hope that father would eventually find me was getting weaker and weaker.

Day by day, I watched the other children , some older, some younger lay their head to rest and then never waking up . 'How lucky' I thought. To never wake from slumber and facing reality everyday. I never wanted to wake up to see the usual four brick walls that surrounded me. I wanted to forever be dreaming about the nice things and never wake up . I was like a butterfly whose wings has been clipped and can only dream about drinking the nectar of a beautiful flower.

I was about the accept the fact that there was indeed no god to save me from this wretched place and that mt beloved , happy go lucky sister was gone until I heard her scream. "It hurts! My blood is boiling!" She shouted with all her might. As I heard her screams , I was blaming myself for not being strong enough to protect my sister , the only person I have left. The only person who knows that I have not disappeared from this world.

After I heard her screams, voices began penetrating my head. It was soft but painful . I could not remember the things it said but I do remember the pain it caused . My head would always throb in pain after hearing the voices. Why me, why , why, WHY?!

I wanted to cry, scream and shout but the tears won't flow and the voice will not come out . 'Was I always in this much pain?' I asked myself as the voice began intruding in my mind once again. I knew it, I knew that I was going mad. It was hard for me to hear the screams that was coming out of my little sister's small mouth every time. I began trying to hear what was the voice telling me rather than ignoring it like I usually do. The voice gradually grew comforting, making my soul feel safer and warmer . My head would not throb in pain anymore. The voice became my best friend, my guardian angel . It was speaking in a language that I did not understand but at the same time I understood it by listening to the tone of the voice. Sometimes it was soft and mellow and sometimes it can be quite loud and rough.

The voice began speaking in a language I could understand, English. It was telling me that the dark holds much power, more than I could ever dream for when standing in the light. Somehow I knew that it was right but I did not give it much thought. Though I listen to the voice, I did not always follow what it tells me.

Then, during the night when the moon turned crimson, when I was taken to the chair where they injected me with a strange liquid, I said the two words that I knew I would regret sooner or later. I told the voice , "I accept," just before the 'ceremony' that Odelia did in order to merge my soul and the greatest ruler of the middle continent together. "I accept," I told the voice , screaming in my head and then I swore that I could hear the voice smile and said "wise girl. Let us become one."

That was the last day I was fully human. There was no turning back. I was the one who accepted the proposal , all this to protect Cece, but most importantly , to protect myself. I want to survive , there is so many things that I have not accomplished. I want to live.

My beautiful strawberry blonde hair turned black like the night and my eyes became cold and emotionless. I could feel the power run through my veins . I became the most powerful person there. However I could not control myself. It was as if I was having a nightmare. I watched as my body went over to Odelia and then began piercing her with my sharp nails. I could feel her heart on my palm as I crushed it like it was nothing. I tortured her husband until he became insane . It felt scary at the same time fulfilling. But ,the next thing I knew was I was next to Cece in the cold damp cell and everything that happened felt like a dream.

The children that was in the cell surrounding me were there , barely alive. I saw them die but why are they here once more? Could everything be a dream? I hugged Cece with my trembling hands. I was scared, for the first time ever since I have been here, I was truly terrified. "Don't worry, I am sure that it will not be our turn soon," Cece said with a weak smile. I was confused at her sentence . What did she meant by that? Wasn't she already injected? "Oh by the way, happy 6th birthday to us," Cece said rubbing her tired eyes. That sentence made me even more confused. How could we be 6? Wasn't it suppose to be 4? My head felt like it was going to explode. I was confused. Very very confused.

That night I dreamt of a beautiful man with pale skin and sharp teeth . He was smiling at me as if he was pleased with me.

"Who are you?" I asked , trying to hide my trembling hands.
"I am you," he replied with another grin. I knitted my eyebrows in confusion and then the man laughed.
"Do you want to know? The truth I mean," he asked me gently. I nodded my head unsure of his question.
"Everything you saw was an illusion. From the time you heard my voice until the time you saw yourself killing and torturing the people who locked you in this pathetic prison," He said as he spat on the floor.

"But why am I suddenly 6? Wasn't I suppose to be 4?" I asked as I stared at him.
"No you weren't . Have being in the prison made you mad?" He snickered.
"But then I heard Cece's screams and I-" I shouted but then he placed a finger on my lips.
"Consider this a present. I turned back time and then with a little something and something , I made sure that Cece was not experiment on back then. Then I skipped forward the time . You see, time is a funny thing. There is always a price to be paid for it. When you turned back time, you must pay for it with the future. That is why you are confused. I forwarded the time so that is why you have no memory about the last two years," He said with another snicker.

"So it was your fault after all!" I said displeased.
"Isn't this better? You are together with your lovely sister. But what happens after this, I have no control over it because you are now the master over me and I am from now your servant.," The man said kneeling down before me.

"Then can I escape from here?" I asked impatiently.
"No you can't. Unfortunately yours and my powers , they need to rest," He said .
"HOW long?!" I asked furious at my frustration.
"3 years," he replied calmly.
"what?" I snapped.

"Today is the acceptance. In the next three years, the moon will turn red and the night will be drowned in the crimson light. In three years, Odelia will probably try to convert your sister into a vampire and then make you drink a potion that will feel like your insides are burning . Your sister will turn into a monster who seeks blood every time her vampiric powers demands it and then Odelia will try to make you into a hybrid but little does she knows that you are in fact a full-fledged vampire with powers beyond her imagination. After all , your soul and my soul are one,'' He said

"SO?" I asked more confused than ever.
"So, when Odelia turns you into a hybrid she is actually making the bond between us stronger. But she does not know it. Your power, it will stabilize you sister's power but it cannot do it forever. Your sister's power demands a fresh supply of blood not like you. Blood to you is a luxury and you can choose not to consume it. But you will probably will since blood attracts you like the bee is attracted to the nectar of a flower. It is better to pretend not to know anything about this. Odelia will use her blood to convert your sister and then she is able to control your sister at will because her blood flow in her veins and you can't do anything about it until after she lets you drink the ancient potion. You must remember that she can control your sister . So it is wise to play dumb and go along with her." He said to me.

"I can't do anything about it? " I asked disappointed.
"You listen to me carefully. In 3 years , after your sister turns, you must let her go on a rampage seeking for blood. After that, Odelia will tell you that you can alter her memory and you must do it. Then after that , you must sneak out at night and begin researching on how to convert back your sister. It is tough but it is possible. Then a boy who is your fiancé will help you to try to escape. Just go along with it. Then after that , a child and a pitch black butler will come and then you will be free of this place,'' He explained sternly.

"You must follow these orders , understand? " He asked me with a piercing glare. I nodded my head. I knew that although this man was crazy, he sound like he knew his stuff. I had no other choice then to listen to him.

"How did you know that all of these will happen?" I asked

"I once saw it through a child's eyes," He said chucking.
"Huh?" I asked but then he shook his head.
"Nothing , I just know. Just trust me and then together we will obtain what we seek," He said smiling. I nodded at him , signaling that I understood what he was saying.

"Good, now when the Valde comes then the games will start," He said which I did not comprehend . All I could do now is to believe in him, my only hope.
