Chapter 2 - Earth (2)

A few minutes later Scarlet picked herself off the floor and headed to the staffroom. Once inside she walked to her locker and took her id card off and threw it somewhere in the room. Taking her stuff from the locker she started to head back to front reception.

Once there she placed her stuff on the floor and walked round to her work desk. Grabbing pictures and put them in her pocket. After that she started to walk back to her stuff, but thoughts invaded her mind and before she could stop herself she had picked up the keyboard and smashed it through the computer screen. 

Widening her eyes in shock Scarlet just grabbed her stuff and sprinted off heading anywhere that wasn't there.

Minutes later Scarlet stopped running and leant on a street light to catch her Breath with sweat dripping from her forehead. While Catching her breathe Scarlet wiped away the sweat and turned around hoping to see no one. Thankfully she didn't see anyone walking towards her. Still looking behind her Scarlet continued walking away.

After awhile Scarlet found herself walking past the a coffee shop. One that she hadn't been to before, so she decided to sit down and have a coffee, prior to reaching the door Scarlet checked her bank balance. Heading inside the shop Scarlet walked to an empty seat and started looking around.

It was a very plane Coffee shop but it felt very warm and welcoming. A waitress soon came over to where Scarlet was sitting to get her order. 

"welcome to Steam Bean what can I get for you?" Asked the waitress who was wearing an apron, a t-shirt and jeans. 

"can I get a coffee and a ham and cheese sandwich please." Answered Scarlet while reading through the little menu the table had.

"Sure no problem, ill bring it here in a minute." Replied the waitress while writing it down into her little notebook. Shortly after that the waitress walked away, and started preparing Scarlets order.

While waiting Scarlet took her phone out of her pocket and glanced at the time before she started to play some games on it, first she played some solitaire but got bored very quick so she decided to play chess instead. After finishing her match of chess she glanced up to see the waitress on her way to her with her coffee and sandwich.

"Here you go, enjoy please." stated the waitress as she put the mug and plate down on the table before walking away.

Scarlet feeling hungry picked up her sandwich and took a bite out of it and it tasted delicious, better than what she could make. Seconds later Scarlet had finished the sandwich without even realising so she started drinking her coffee. 

About 10 minutes later Scarlet had finished her coffee and was scrolling through various apps on her phone to past the time. Noticing that she had finished her coffee the waiter started walking over to Scarlet.

"Are you done or would you like anything else?" Queried the waiter.

"yeah I'm done I'm just going to head home." She answered before pulling her bank card out and how much the coffee and sandwich was. After paying she got up out of her seat, grabbed her stuff and headed for the door. 

Once outside Scarlet took a deep breathe before she pulled out her phone to see how to get home from where she was. Seeing that it would take her 30 minutes to walk home, she decided to get the bus. 

About 5 minutes later she was at a bus stop waiting for the bus. Luckily this time the bus was hopefully to arrive in the next minute. Seconds later the bus came round the corner and stopped for Scarlet. Getting on the bus she once again headed for the back of the bus only to find that it was occupied by other passengers so she just picked the closest seat too her.

Around 10 minutes later she was getting off the bus and continued her walk home. While walking home Scarlet realised that because she had lost her job she wouldn't be able to pay for her rent and she would have to move out. 

Shortly after that thought she arrived at her Building and with a heavy sigh she headed to the entrance hoping that Cain was no where near the entrance or her apartment. However as soon as she opened the door she realised luck wasn't on her side again and there he was sitting down reading a newspaper with an empty bottle of Beer next to him.

Scarlet started to speed walk to the stairs ignoring Cain if he said anything. Luckily he didn't or at least Scarlet didn't hear anything. Upon reaching her floor she heard footsteps behind her, so she turned and saw Cain following her. Once she saw him Scarlet bolted towards her apartment. Quickly taking her keys out of her pocket as she ran.

Reaching her apartment she put the key in the lock opened the door and Entered then slammed the door shut behind her and went to the kitchen to grab a knife. She could hear Cain's loud footsteps getting closer and closer to the door Before they stopped, mere seconds later she heard banging on the door.

Obviously it was Cain trying to scare her. but she still slowly started walking to the front door knife still in hand. A few heartbeats later a bright glow appeared beneath her. Clearly stunned by it Scarlet looked down at it. It was shaped in a circle and had lots of bright colours that were slowly getting brighter.

Before Scarlet could comprehend the glowing circle It disappeared but so did her surroundings at least that's what she thought before she realised that her surroundings had changed. Instead of being in her apartment, she was now in what seemed to in a castle of something similar.
