The Bloody Rose & The Blue Moon

Chapter 1: Sacrifice

Never in her wildest dreams had she ever imagined she’d be in this situation…She always thought they were myths, stories passed down from generation to generation: stories to scare kids.  Like the boogieman, Freddie, or Chucky…but she was wrong…she was lied to. Even with what she had learned, what she’d seen of their world she still wanted to believe that she was in a dream- a nightmare- and just didn’t know how to escape it. But it was real, oh so real, and she didn’t know how she would get out alive…how she would escape them…

“Is the sacrifice ready?” the thing that brought her here asked Adam, the other monster that kept her company. She couldn’t really see his face, only hear his haunting voice…the voice that sounded so familiar…the one who she had last seen, who wanted her here… He was the one that had followed her.

Adam had said she’d be sacrificed to him…their prince, that apparently she was the reincarnation of a women, a priestess of some sorts that placed a curse on them and made them what they are today.

“Yeah the wench is ready as she’ll ever be,” Adam sneered, while looking at her with his red ruby blood eyes, deadly god beauty, and obvious hatred…but she didn’t know why. Trying to stay cool she simply stared at Adam, not being able to see anyone else but him, not knowing what else to do. She couldn’t freak out she needed to survive this…what ever it was.

Sighing she looked around the jail cell she had been placed, memorizing its layout, just incase it was the last thing she’d see. Looking closely around she’d admit it wasn’t what she pictured as a jail cell to be.

It was comfortable; four walls painted red, with a nice looking wooden chair finished off with a red-valet seat pad. A small window letting in the ghostly moons rays, black carpet flooring and a small desk with flower carvings adorning it, and red roses in a golden vase.

Roses, she couldn’t help but smile and enjoy their enchanting scent…even though she was in no place to do so…

She loved roses, and having them near her…made her feel safe…and almost whole. Next to the roses there was also pen and paper, she assumed it was for anyone who wanted to write, their last words, and a steal door with a small barred window that allowed her to see anyone who was looking at her, enclosed her.

She had expected it to be…less welcoming. It looked and felt like a reception room, or a small office-well without the bars it would…

Yet besides its illusive comfort, she couldn’t get pass the fact that maybe…she would never see her family again…never taste freedom. 

Tears were threatening to roll down her cheeks, the very air she breathe in was suffocating her…sitting on the chair she thought about it for the thousand time, was this were it was really going to end? Would she be scarified? If only she had listened to her mama and not gone out of the house like she’d told her. If only she had not been so stubborn, she wouldn’t be here…wherever here was. She balled her hands into fist letting her tears roll down silently, not making a sound, only letting the pain ease out…and she had no one else to blame but her self.

She was Kagome Higurashi, 17 years old and had never set foot out of the shrine not since she was little…

Clutching her heart she tried to surpass the pain she felt in her chest…she had been born with a hole in her heart, at least that’s what her mama told her. For this reason she was never permitted to be a meter outside the shrine, unless she was going to school.

She had been captive in a perfect world, isolated, but that’s not what she wanted…it’s not what she wanted her life to be. She had a free spirit, even though she never showed it. Her soul called to her to explore but neither mama nor granddad would permit this, so when she turned 17, she decided that that would change.

Well today was her 17 birthday or shall she say yesterday, seeing as its way past 12am, she set out her plan. She decided it was time to sneak out, not that she hadn’t tried it before, but this time it was different…somehow she felt she needed to leave the shrine…that it was time to explore…like something was calling her soul.

Yet how had she been so stupid, how could she, Kagome, been so selfish and reckless and left her family, her home, her haven…for a night out that turned out tragic?

She just wanted to have fun, hang out with friends, or at least she thought they were her friends but things didn’t go as planned and well she ended up here…if only she knew where here really was, and why she was here. Her pathetic excuse for going out really shamed her, whipping her eyes she stud up as she heard the door being open. …If only she hadn’t left the shrine…if only…

“Reincarnation it is time for the Ryūketsu no bara ceremony,” Adam said, looking up she knew from his expression that she wouldn’t be coming back to this cell.

*****Ryūketsu no bara- roughly translated as bloody rose (at least that s what Google told me ^_^;)
