When Doctor Roy looked over at me, he was suppressed to see that I was awake and rushed over. I shrank away and treated him like he was a threat. He stopped in his tracks and tried to come off as nonthreatening as possible saying "I'm not going to hurt you. My name is Doctor Roy, you are at the White Tree Village." He had his hands up in a non-threatening way and tried to hand me some water saying "Drink this and you will feel better. You will be okay. I will make some medicine for you in just a minute. It will take the pain away."
He had an easy-going smile on his face, and I looked at the contents in the bowl like it was poison. Shaking my head 'No' I looked around again for my clothes. I looked down and held the blanket around myself trying to look innocent.
He looked at me again realizing that I must have been thinking something horrible would happen so he said, "Your clothes are drying, and you need to drink this, it will help you feel better." Lowering his head in embarrassment he said, "You have lost a lot of blood out of your 'Sacred Area', and I can't stop it. This will help you replenish the blood you are losing. Do you understand?"
I sized him up and decided that talking to him would be a better choice than staying silent, since he seemed so helpful, I could get some answers. It was bad enough with him seeing down there, let alone him keeping an eye on there all this time. I didn't need to stick around much longer.
Deciding this was the best course of action I said "It is not a wound it's a normal thing for someone like me, it will stop in a few days. I'll be fine to leave on my own. It doesn't matter if my clothes are dry or not, I will be fine to leave when I get them."
Hearing that she would just get up and leave worried him even more than when she said that her bleeding like this was normal. As he was processing what Scarlet said another Male came barging in and said "Doctor Roy these are the cloths belonging to the Wild Female. I'm going to go watch the Execution now." He then tossed the cloths on the ground like they were trash and hurried out.
Doctor Roy was so mad at the way the others were treating her. Gathering up her cloths and dusting them off, he came over to me saying "I'm so sorry Little Female. The Villagers here are not normally like this. Things are just a little chaotic because of all the Unwanted around, and they have become weary about the outsiders these days."
I gave him a blank stare and said "I don't need anyone to take care of me. All I need are my clothes and I will be on my way. I have been taking care of myself for a long time and I'll be fine on my own."
As soon as Doctor Roy heard that he started to cry eyes out and reach out to hold my hand. I moved my hand away and reached out to grab my clothes. Turning to him I asked, "Could you step outside so that I could get dressed?" He was reluctant to leave, but turned and walked out saying that he was right outside if she needed anything.
Scarlet dressed quickly and asked him why the Black Tiger was being killed for something a ridiculous as Changing his Form.
Doctor Roy was so taken back by the question. He never expected a Female that had No Connections with the Village that treated her with such disrespect, would ask about something as Horrible as an Execution.
She should be more concerned about her own life like all the other Females out there. The scars on her body shown that she must have lived such a hard life and yet she was asking about the welfare of a Male that she had no connection too. His heart was bleeding for her, but answered with the truth because he felt like she disserved to know what was going on.
"The Male that found you on the edge of our border, is named Travis." Doctor Roy took a deep breath then continued "He is Never allowed to be in his Changed Form in front of any Female. He was caught with you in that form and is now he was sentenced to death for the crimes he committed."
Scarlet's mind went blank when she heard what the Good Doctor said. Their attention was suddenly drawn outside hearing the large group outside cheering.
"DIE!!!"
"You know what you did, and you disserve to die for it!"
"You should have Never Been Born!!"
Running to the window and looking out, Scarlet could see the Black Tiger Travis being escorted down the center of the street. The Villagers were throwing rocks, sticks and other things all while yelling at him. There were some that were even spitting at him, and he was doing nothing to defend himself as he made his way to the platform in the middle of the Village.
Scarlet couldn't believe what she was seeing. When Travis made it to the top of the platform Chef Hugo, who was in the Middle raised his voice and began to speak "We are gathered here today for the Execution of this Law Breaker! His crime is showing a Female his Changed Form and now he will be paying the price for doing so with his Life!"
Scarlet was curious about why he couldn't change form and asked Doctor Roy why but didn't expect such a stupid response to come from him.
He said, "A Witch Doctor came by many years ago and said that Travis' coloring meant that he was a jinx and if he showed his Male Form in front of any Female, it would destroy the Village."
Scarlet looked at him with disbelief and couldn't believe the Bull Crap that she had just heard. Looking back to the platform the Chef had finished his speech, and the Executioner was called over. He held what looked like a big rock attached to the end of a branch. They were planning to smash Travis' head-in! Scarlet couldn't let that happen, using her Energy to shatter the rock she jumped out the window leaving the Doctor standing there completely dumb founded.
As she made her way through the sea of dumbstruck people she leaped up on the platform. Scarlet walked right up to Travis and said, "Would you like to leave this Crappy Village?"
When Travis heard the question, he along with everyone else was shocked. He looked up at Scarlet and blinked a few times trying to figure out if this was real or not. Chef Hugo looked at Scarlet and walked towards them yelling "Who do you think you are?! A Filthy Wild Female like you think that you can make this choice?! He is going to Die here Today no matter what his answer is. If you want to die with him then you can go next."
He gave Scarlet a smug look and tried to knock her away, but she didn't let him come too close to her using her Energy to keep him at a distance. Chef Hugo was such an infuriating Male, All she was doing was talking to Kitty. Smacking Chef Hugo's hand, she said, "You are too Weak to even be considered my opponent." Then proceeded to kick him, sending him flying through the Air and Crashed into someone's house.
This action infuriated the Villagers and a small group of Males jumped onto the platform and surrounded both Scarlet and Travis. She took a glance at the group surrounding them and said in a Menacing tone, "The next person that makes a move to harm the Tiger or me will be fed his own beating heart!"
This earned her laughs from all those around, One Male had the guts to take a step forward and made his move but was not Fast Enough. Scarlet moved quickly and had brought him to his knees then proceeded to thrust her hand into his chest and rip out his heart. While it was in fact still beating, she forced it into his mouth then gave him an uppercut making him take a bite out of it to make her statement true.
It all happened in a matter of Seconds leaving everyone so Terrified that they didn't know what to do next. The Weaker ones ran away leaving nothing but dust clouds in their wakes.
After the display of Power that Scarlet showed, it was fair to say that the Villagers wouldn't be giving her to have any more issues. Good thing too because being the center of attention was not really her forte.
After all the dust cleared, and after all the disruptions were taken care of, Scarlet turned back to Travis and seen that he was staring at her with Big Round Eyes. Seeing the look on a Tiger was the funniest face thing that she had ever seen. Scarlet started to laugh so hard that she had to hold her stomach, she was completely clueless that no One liked her reaction (Not that she cared if they did say anything to her).
When Chef Hugo climbed back onto the platform, he tried to ask Scarlet questions a little nicer this time. "Wh Who are you? Where are you from? What could you possibly want with this Small Village?"
Ignoring the annoying Chef, she looked at Travis and said "I'm about to take off. If you want to leave here then we can walk out of here together, or if you want you can stay here and die, It's totally up to you."
Travis kept up with what Scarlet was saying this time and was able to answer her with a shake of his head. He got up and proceeded to walk off the platform with her.
It didn't take that long to get close to the edge of the Village, since it was not that big anyway, just Twenty Minutes. As we walked out everyone kept an eye on us. We were almost out of the Village a Female decided to jump in our way.
She was about Six feet tall and smelled like nothing but infection and lack of bathing. Being only about only about Five foot Five inches, Scarlet was incredibly short compared to her. The incredibly Strong Smell of her infection wafted from Two different places her Mouth and Below her incredibly Short Skirt.
She looked upon us with disgust written all over her and didn't seem to be planning on letting us move past her. This random Females Smell was so Potent that Scarlet just couldn't hold it in anymore and ended up Projectile Vomiting all over her. Since Scarlet had a light dinner the night before and didn't have breakfast yet it wasn't much.
The Village Female screamed and yelled things like how Scarlet was a Useless Wild Female and how No Male would pursue Female like her. Scarlet was tired of her attitude and Sick from her stench she just gave her a Venomous Glare to make her back off. She moved out of the way as fast as she could, and Scarlet began to walk again.
She could tell that Travis was worried about her by the Color of his Energy, Scarlet just looked at him and said, "That thing you all call a Female, is so Infected and Stunk so Bad from being so Filthy that I just couldn't hold it in. She only ended up getting Lightly Covered, it may even Improve her Stench so Stop Complaining any longer."
One of Males belonging to the Female was so Furious that he rushed up and tried to Attack Scarlet. Travis was about to take action to Defend Scarlet, but before the attacking Male could get very far, he was frozen Mid Step finding himself completely unable to move was stuck in a Mid Run position. Scarlet laughed out loud then noticed Doctor Roy on the sidelines. Unsure of when he showed up, she noticed that he had a shocked look on his face that matched everyone else in the crowd. Doctor Roy couldn't stop himself from asking the question that was on everyone's mind, "Little Female what are you and what did you do to him?"
Smiling at him Scarlet was getting bord with said "I told you I would be fine on my own. Do you believe me now?"
"WITCH, DEAMON, SHE WILL DESTROY US ALL!!! She must have been sent here Because of that Disgusting Jinx broke the law!!!!" Yelled someone from the crowd.
Scarlet looked over in the direction of the voice and everyone shrank back from sheer fear of what the Strange Female would do next. She gave a small chuckle and turned back to Doctor Roy pointed to herself with an innocent look saying "Me? I'm just a Traveling Alchemist that ended up here. Don't cause trouble for Kitty or Me and I won't cause trouble for you. Just to let all of you know I don't make it a habit to go looking for trouble, but I won't back down if trouble just so happens to come to find me."
With that said Scarlet turned and started walking again. After a few steps she noticed that her Kitty was not following her, so she stopped to turn back to look at him and say "I told you before Kitty, I am not going to make you come with me, I won't hurt you. I Promise." Scarlet held up Three fingers like a scout and gave an innocent look. "If you don't want come with me you can stay here." When she seen that he still wasn't moving though, she continued to walk out alone.
Travis stood there for a few moments looking back and forth between the Frozen Male that she left behind and Scarlet's figure fading in the distance, he proceeded to follow Scarlet without word.
