The loud sound of two voices talking made the newly healed girl wake up.

Confused as to who they belonged to, she decided to open her eyes one by one but got blinded by the brightness of the light. After opening them multiple times she was finally able to adjust them. Now the girl was looking around wondering where in the world she was. It's obviously not the place where she has been living for the past 10 years of her life.

So where in the world could she be? Did someone kidnapped her? If yes why wasn't she chained to something? When you kidnapped someone you want to make sure that they don't escape. Meaning that the girl could leave anytime.

But right as she moves her body out of the warm blanket that was covering her, the young man who was talking with the old healer, quickly came to her side.

"Miss you are still recovering, please lay down"

The silver hair girl blink multiple times before saying in a small voice "W-who are you?"

The young man, surprised that the girl could speak didn't hesitate to answer her " My name's Blake!". He said as he helps her back into the bed.

"Oh-oh-oh so Blake is your name" came the voice of the other man. "Why didn't you say that sooner?" He ask

This old man is literally killing Blake, with his stupidity. Why else didn't he tell him what was his name? "Because you didn't ask" growled the man, making the red-eyes girl cover herself in the blanket.

Blake realized that and quickly apologize "Sorry, sorry" He said before sitting down next to the bed "please miss what is your name?" He asks, in the same comfortable voice he used the first time they met at the beach.

The Familiar voice made the girl remember who he is and how she got herself here. "T-Than . . . Thank you!" She stutter, not comfortable around new people.

Even though he asked for her name she wasn't just going to reveale any personal information to a stranger.

Who knows what his true identity is, he might be one of them. She didn't spend all those years planning her escape to be captured again by a simple mistake, that requires personal information who can be kept hidden from the rest of the world. No, she isn't going to trust them or him, even though she broke it the second she had accepted to drink the man's water at the beach.

He blinks before repeating the girl's words " 'Thank you' for what?" He asks.

"F-for saving my life" she stutters again, which made Blake grin at that.

He was pleased knowing that he helped a poor damsel in distress. Like in those big popular romantic book, but this situation is everything but romantic as he noticed the girls frighten expression. Why was she scared? Did he do something? Maybe he should talk to her when she isn't recovering?

At that thought, Blake got himself off the floor but before leaving he said "Rest! I'm going to come back and check on you tomorrow" now the door was his destination as he continued walking ignoring the old man who was talking to him.

The old healer, who has yet to present himself decided to confront Blake for his rude behaviour towards him.

Leaving the girl alone, in a stranger's houses.

Relief. That's what she felt when the strangers left her side.

Blake was a sweet person but he had the worst curse possible, being born a man.

They were the cruellest being of this planet.

She would know, as most of her life has been with mans. And as a matter of fact, her life has been hell.

Now, this was the best opportunity to escape. When nobody was here to see her!

Being close to a man, terrified her. Even those who are sweet, like Blake. But you never know their true nature, only once they got you corner and that's when all hell becomes loose, their grip on you is so firm that you could just dream of escaping them.

But she somehow did it, and now they were after her. She must not trust anyone!!!

Which is why the girl wasn't just going to listen and stay in bed. No. She was going to escape. And somehow find a boat and live this island.

As the girl took the blanket off, she discovered something that she didn't pay any attention before. Her body. It was clean of dirt and sweat that she had accumulated and her newly acquired wounds where covered with thick layers of bandages, covering all of her body in white. She then decided to bring her hand into her unique silver hair and as expected, it wasn't greasy like the last time she had felt it, but clean and smooth, like all those other girls who were free. Unlike her.

Who cleaned her? Was it Blake? It didn't occur to the girl that she was wasting precious time, the realization strikes her only when the door open to revile the old man who decided to leave with Blake, not too long ago.

Why was he back?

Did he forget something?

Was he the owner of this house?

That would definitely make sense.

Out of nowhere, her stomach decided to make the loudest and embarrassing growled ever imagine, giving the biggest fright to the old man, who just walk in his house.

The girl's embarrassment was visible through her reddish cheeks, like a 'living tomato', was what the old man thought when he got over the loud noise.

"Oh-oh-oh it looks like you are a hungry young lady!" he said while walking to the girl's side whit a plate full of different kinds of fruits. Where did he even get that from? "Which one would you like to eat?" He asks the girl.

She was perplexed, why was he giving her free food? And a choice, never would they allow her to choose what kind of food she wanted. What was up with this man? There has to be a catch somewhere. It might be poisoned! Thought the girl. It doesn't matter if the man is old or young they are all evil being.

She shook her head around, giving him the answer that she didn't want any.

But once again her stomach growled disagreeing with her, making the girl flush of embarrassment again. The old man started laughing at that. What's with this girl? Why would she lie, when in fact she was starving?

But the clueless girl just stares, not knowing what to do in this situation. Should she laugh with him? Or would that make him mad?

"Hahaha . . . Oh-oh-oh young lady! What's your name?" He asks her, while somehow making the plate of food disappear. Did he forget that he came to give her food?

As time passes there was still no answer from the girl. Giving your name to strangers was something that she learned to never do long ago. And today wasn't going to be any different.

Well, seeing as there was no sign of answering he decided to name her "Your name shall be Scarlet" the bald man said before adding "because of your fiery red eyes"

She blinks in confusion. He named her. He actually named her a nice name. Unlike the one that she had being given at the begging of her horrible hell life. Scarlet was actually a pretty nice name, better than her real one or her other 'nickname' she got over the years.

Those bastards were going to pay for what they did to her, once she can get stronger that is. But right now, she had to find a way to escape. And fast.

The voice of the old man calling her new found name came through her ears. For how long was he calling her?

"-let. . . Scarlet"

"Y-yes" she stutters still not comfortable around man, but who wouldn't after everything she has been trought?

"Would you like some tea?" He asks her before adding "I mix some very newly found herbs in this combination, I do hope it doesn't end up being poisonous like last time I try, or the time before that, and before" he said while taking a huge sip and quickly spitting everything out. Why? Wasn't it good? "Poisonously sweet!!!" He exclaims.

Wait, does that mean it was too sweet or that it was poisonous? Is poisonously sweet even a real thing? What is this old man? He seems smart but his action right now proves the contrary.

The old healers said "Don't worry Scarlet, the doctor of this town won't die from some poisonously sweet tea" before leaving to who knows where.

So the bald-headed man was a doctor. Why in the world would he mix some poisonous herbs on his tea?

Quickly forgetting that matter, the girl knew that now was her chance to escape, and for sure she wasn't going to blow it. She is escaping no matter what!
