Chereads / Scarlet's Initiation / Chapter 12 - Chapter 12

Chapter 12 - Chapter 12

Scarlet finds herself in the middle of the desert at night.

The wind blows around her in every directions and a faint static sound could be heard in the distance.

She starts heading in the direction where the sound is the most stronger.

After some time, the wind around her stops but she still feels cold. When Scarlet stops to look around she notices the static sound had stopped too.

Suddenly, a strong wind that comes from nowhere, sweeps the girl off her feet and lifts her up moving her into circles again and again.

Scarlet starts moving even faster and everywhere around her floats dust and sand that gets in her eyes.

The girl realizes she is currently being carried away by a  tornado but that doesn't calm her down, not even a bit.

She knows she's got to wait for the tornado to stop so age closes her eyes and tries to find her happy place. But that of course doesn't work and soon, the girl starts feeling sick because of the speed she races in circles.

Luckily, before Scarlet throws up, the tornado stops and sets her gently on the ground. However, she still throws up after that and takes a moment to regain herself.

She stares at her own vomit with blood in it slowly sinking in the sand, the girl scrunches up her nose, disgusted. The thing is that she didn't eat much in the last time so mostly of the vomit is blood, and it looks awfull.

Scarlet stops analysing her own vomit and looks up expecting something to be in front of her but there's nothing, absolutely nothing at all. Except the wonderfull night sky and the sand, of course.

When she starts thinking there's no way out, the girl notices the static sound again. It sounds like it's somwhere near, under the sand.

Scarlet finds the place where she thinks the sound must come from and starts digging into the sand with her bare hands.

After some hardcore digging, the girl finds the one and only source of the haunting static sound. She finds a box and inside it

A mini radio

She picks it up switching one of the buttons to find is the volume and then the other one which puts her a song on.

"We are looking for the exit!~

But we don't know where it is~

We are looking for the sunrise!~

But we don't know where's the east~"

"Whatever they tell us, we do not belive them!

Whenever they lead us, we do not follow them!"

"Because we know~

That we have our way!~" 

When the song ends, the radio explodes in Scarlet's hands, making her jump away like a cat from a cucumber.

After calming down, she takes the empty box and sits on the sand with her feet in the pit she dug. Yes, it was very deep.

She inspects all the corners of the box and when she turns it on the other way, she finds an inscription on it's bottom.

It was golden, written in a language unknow to her.

"It looks like the golden inscriptions on that massive door..." Scarlet murmurs before deciding to try to read it.

"Aum ca ressos rok wey lom parum"

The girl reads out loud then waits for something to happen.

Just when she thought she didn't read it correct and that nothing is going to happen.

The girl feels something grabing her ankles from inside the pit then she is dragged completely under the ground, losing her conscious.
