Scar The Detective Arc Part One

 Murder


It was the first day of school. Scar felt her heartbeat increase as she looked at the school's front door. Even though a new school was not the worst that she had been through, she was still nervous. In fact she knew, not even the bullying that happened in her last school back in Scarborough, was anything near the worst that she had been through. In fact she had been egged down the toilet at least three times! No, the worst thing that had happened to her happened years ago but she was getting past all that.

Now was not the time to think about the past, now was the time to focus on a head and her future.

Maybe he would prefer it that way. She thought as she took her first step, taking her hat off and putting it in her bag.

She would have to focus on a future away from things like that. She would have to find a way to make friends and talk to people. After all, she did not have Bill and Bliss to do that for her this time. It had been two months since she left them behind to let them go on their adventures beyond the door. So she must have adventures here in her world and she would have to try to have as normal a life as she could.

She wondered how many doors were there and why they were even there, as she put the bag and coat in the locker. She also knew that right now it hardly mattered. Those answers would come whenever they would come. She now had to focus on the here and now as she looked back. 

Suddenly she was hit by the feeling of being lost. Which was a feeling that she masked well. Yet as she raised her head, lower than she would have liked, she could not help but have this awful feeling of foreboding. As she went about her lessons, learning all about maths, science and literacy most of which she already knew,she could not help but have this feeling increase. It became bigger and bigger and more and more difficult to ignore. It was like a time bomb was in the room and she knew, somehow that by the end of the day it would explode.

Yet she found that there were two little girls that looked her age,which she could not help but be drawn to. She soon started talking to them. One had jet black hair and the other had brunette hair. Yet their features were identical! Then there were their eyes, they were crimson, just like Bill and Bliss. 

"Urm hi. I'm Scar." She said, extending her hand to them.

"Beatrice."

"Britannia."

So she tailed them for the rest of the school day. She soon left the school and could feel the oppressive air weigh more and more down upon her. She soon felt an irrational desperation as her gut was crying to her that there was something off. Yet she did all that she could to ignore it and focused upon getting home. Once she was there then she would be safe from whatever this feeling was. Yet she wondered if there was anyone tailing her but she shook her head.

I can't get paranoid right now. Not when it's my first day of school. No. I will go home and then continue living a normal life just like Alex told me to.

She scalded herself for being silly when her eyes rested upon the car. It was a police car. She, at first, thought nothing more of it as she walked on. She saw more and more police cars racing down the street. Then she saw the ambulance racing,closely behind them. She wondered if it had anything to do with feelings of foreboding in her gut. Yet she, again, thought this had nothing to do with her and was nothing but a small pull of paranoia. 

Then she came to Johan Close and spotted that the police cars and the ambulance were all heading towards this road. She then spotted that there was a crowd gathering around the center of the street, where her house was! As she ran to the crowd the ambulance zoomed past her.

She soon pushed past the crowd and was greeted by a police officer, who blocked her.

"Let me pass!" She shouted.

"No, I'm sorry but no one is allowed to pass." He said, shrewdly.

"But I live here! I have to go home!" 

He looked down at her. He then looked back and shouted at the one in charge. He then looked at her with a frown. He had jet black hair and deep blue eyes and had a well toned body. He looked more like an Action Man dressed like a police officer. He then walked up to her. His face softened and became almost fatherly, yet there was a sterness to his tired eyes. However she could see the suspicion in them too.

"Are you Scarborough Cox?"

"Yes." She said, feeling slightly naked.

"Then you should come with me."

"Why? Who are you?" 

He opened his mouth to speak.

"Mum! Mum, where are you?" She shouted, feeling both desperate and frustrated. 

She could feel the tears already welling up in her eyes.

"W-where's-where's…m-mum?"

He let out a sigh, almost out of relief and yet at the same time trying to find the right words to use.

"Look. I don't think that this is the place to say."

"I-I don't care! W-where's mum? Where's mum?"

He knelt and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry. She's dead."

She smiled as if he had told her a joke and laughed.

"No! Th-that's s-silly! Sh-she w-was fine this morning!" She laughed, bitterly.

"The ambulance just took her. She was dead before we got here."

"No!" She snapped as she slapped his arm away.

"Y-you're lying! M-mum c-can't be dead! Sh-she j-just can't!"

"She is."

"Why are you saying th-that! Sh-she's-" She broke down weeping.

Was it the witches? Have they come back to kill her to get me? How they're dead! What has that to do with this? Is this my fault? 

No, was I the real target? Just what is going on?

"How?"

"That's what we want to know."

Her eyes darted from left to right like a pendulum. 

"W-what do you have so far?" She asked, her mind racing faster than she could cope.

"We will tell you once we have more information. For now,you will be taken by Detective Jen."

She nodded barely registering his words. She broke down and wept. She barely noticed the brunette woman with light blue eyes and face with light orange makeup and red lips. She felt time slow as she was led to her car. She could barely see anything past the blur of water. Her cheeks burnt with that very water.

Scar Parents Fight Part Three

  Hunter’s Defence  Scar opened her eyes. She then walked down the stairs. She slowly took out her homework, just to take her mind off the day before she started doing it. She started with her maths to fode her mind to focus. She then moved onto literacy. After she had done both her mind felt sharp and clear of all of the upset. She looked up, it was half past seven. She then took a slice of bread. She then put it in the toaster and pulled out a tin of beans. Half of them had already been eaten the day feforeshe then put it in the bowl and then put it in the microwave for a minute. As she waited she picked up a newspaper. Three women arrested. They claimed to be witches yet none have any drugs in their system. They were arrested  for killing four children. When asked why they claimed  it was to obtain power. So they've been arrested. Good! She heard the beeping and soon put the beans on the plate then took the toast out and soon took out a fork. After ripping the toast in half she

The Nine Dragons The Serpent Dragon Part Three

  The Boa Army Loc was working hard in the field. It was getting to evening time. She had found that she liked working there as a farmer. There was just something so satisfying in doing hard work and made the food taste better and she slept better too. She could see herself doing this for the rest of her life however long that would be, yet she knew that she could not. Regardless of how much she liked the village and the people there. She had noticed that the people there looked almost like the people in her world just without any pupils and they were weaker too. She also noticed that despite this, they were all hard working and nothing was eaten until they had done their work. During this time she had completely recovered her whole energy and strength from all of the battles that she had on that day. She had also been able to gather her thoughts and psychology recovered and was able to have her time of mourning her losses from her rebellion. Yet she found that this might have been due

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Six

 The Purple Monster  “Why?” “Open the book and put all of the other Purple Artefacts into the page that it fits.” Doormaze nodded as she opened the book. On the first page as a hole where she put the Purple Purl in. The page glowed and for a moment. When the glowing died down the purl was in the page, almost like a picture. She then turned another page. There was another hole with a flower hole in. She then placed the Purple Flower in. It glowed and soon the flower was in the book. She turned the page, where she placed the Purple Feather in.  Once it became a picture the book glowed. Soon light flooded the room. All had to close their eyes as the light became far too bright. Then Doormaze no longer felt the book in her hands. She opened her eyes to see a light above her hands almost like a miniature star. What is this? Then it became so bright she had to close her eyes again. Then she felt something covering her body. It felt light and comfortable. Her eyes opened to see that she was c

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Four

  The Purple Book They travelled down the cave in West Mountain for an entire day. Yet they did not leave until the following day. They left the cave to see a group of small houses. They were all small and in the style of King Garnet’s castle. “This is the abandoned town of Faiton. It’s here somewhere. So I think we will have to go in them to find it. You need not worry, there has not been a single person seen here in decades.” The other three nodded. “And what does this next artefact look like?” “It is a purple book. It is made from the same material as the crystal flower.” “Right. Then, let’s split up and explore every house.” Doormaze spoke, punching her fist. “And mark the door of the house that has been checked and leave the door open while it's being checked.” “Good thinking.” They all split and walked into the first house that was closest to them. They all started on the ground floor. Then the first floor and the second floor. Upon seeing nothing, they left the house. They p

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Three

  The Purple Flower They, because it was late when they reached the top chamber, decided to take a break. They lit a fire and, after cooking a small stew, started to eat. “Now, tomorrow, where to next?” “Well, Doormaze, we must travel over the Flower Bridge. It used tobe a small village on a large plot of land that the other mouth of the cave leads to. The houses were too and far between. It was mainly covered in many different purple flowers.” “And that’s why it’s called Flower Bridge?” “Well, that is because of the plot of land that joins the East Mountain, which we are in, and West Mountain, which is where the Purple Flower is in, is naturally formed.” “And there is nothing underneath it.” “No.” “Well,” She said, finishing her meal. “That’s something to sleep on.” After they all ate their meal,they went to sleep. Doormaze dreamed of Natalie again. She opened her, now dragon, eyes. She walked over to the dragons. They were sound asleep. She smiled as she turned away from them. She wa

Scar Parents Fight Part Four

  Mother’s Knife Scar woke. She saw Morara right in front of her. She dived back as she punched her. She tried to unbuckle, yet she noticed that she soon noticed that it was jammed. She tried to pull the belt but that too was jammed. She tried to pull it again and again and again but it did nothing. She looked up in fear as she saw the knife coming at her. She quickly dived out of the way then the knife turned to her. She tried to punch her but she caught her wrist. She tried to pull her hand out of her hand. Yet she was too strong. She saw the knife getting closer and closer. She hit the arm as hard as she could which made her drop the knife. She then finally pulled out more of her belt and fell out. She then felt a slit in her arm. She let out a whimper as she looked up at Morana went to stab her again and again. She kicked her again and again and again. She looked at both Alex, who was unconscious. She drove her hands to his belt and she pulled the belt and he hit his head as he fel

Scar Parents Fight Final Part

  Assassin’s Sacrifice  Charlotte, knowing that none of them had any time or chance to call an ambulance, ran. She knew where the hospital was and that none of them had any time to lose. She ran down the street as fast as she could. Yet it must have been obvious where she was running to as Morana looked at her innanyer and knew in that moment she would kill to stop her from going there.  Her parents had the exact expression on their faces when she had to stop pretending that she was a boy. After all, they always wanted a boy and when she was born a girl they tried to turn her into one. But the only thing that reminded them that she was a girl was her name, which they shortened to Charlie at one point. Just to keep the illusion that she was a boy alive in their deluded minds. The only thing that got her out of that situation was the series of dead girls that were her sisters and only one son being alive at the cost of her neglect. Van Kira, she remembered his name was. “Oh no you don’t!
