Bara no Scarlet
Chapter 29
Interlude II
She was standing in a church, looking bewildered at her surroundings. She knew this place... didn't she...?
Turning, she looked all around the room, until suddenly a figure lit from within previous shadow. She moved towards it, eyes widening as she saw that it was someone resting atop a richly decorated sphere.
Do you want to know who he is?
She started, looking around for the voice that wasn't really a voice. A small girl stood behind her in a black jumper, and she walked towards the girl.
"I want to know everything... who he is... who I am... Why don't I remember? What happened to me?"
The little girl turned and walked up to the still figure, looking up to him.
He is Dios, the Sleeping Prince.
'The... sleeping... Who am I? Please, do you know?"
The little girl turned to look at her.
I know. But you aren't ready. When you are ready, you will know.
The light faded, both girl and sleeping figure dissolving in the darkness.

Dearest readers, thank you for being understanding. As some of you undoubtedly know, Monday, February 16 was President's Day. As a result, yours truly wasn't working. Given that I update the story every Monday morning from my office... there wasn't an update. So, today, there are two chapters. (Largely because I felt the interlude was too short to make you wait a full week for another update! Yes, I love you guys.)
