The Girl Named Scarlett

     There was a little girl who lived in a poor village, she always wore pink and had brown hair. Her name was Scarlett. She was sweet and kind to everyone. Three of her classmates, Starlight, Veronica and Lexi got jealous of her and hated her for being famous and they planned to end her.
      After she passed away, the whole village changed. All the people became quiet in the village, except for Starlight, Veronica and Lexi. They thought they were normal but no, their house was haunted by Scarlett. That is because Scarlett’s soul got out of her body, right before Scarlett was murdered. Little did they know, her soul knew the future. Fortunately, Scarlett’s blood was magical it turned dead things alive, like herself. Her blood touched her soul and her soul turned into Scarlett’s body and Scarlett was alive again.  So, she decided to get revenge. But who knows what the revenge is? Is it deadly or just a trick?
      When Starlight, Veronica and Lexi got to Starlight’s house to have a sleepover, Scarlett was secretly following them. After arriving at Starlight’s house, she found out they had no midnight snacks, so Starlight and Veronica went to buy some groceries. After Starlight and Veronica left. Lexi said sorry to Scarlett. Scarlett had a very kind heart, so she forgave her. Lexi and Scarlett talked until Starlight and Veronica came back.
      Veronica then said, ‘Scarlett? How are you alive? Didn’t we drown you four years ago?’
      Lexi said, ‘What a great joke Veronica!’
      Starlight asked, ‘Lexi, do you remember anything about what we did to Scarlett?’
      Lexi said, ‘What do you mean? We and Scarlett are best friends, right?’
      Then Scarlett said, ‘I have just cleared Lexi’s memories of the past.’
      Starlight said to Scarlett, ‘How dare you, Scarlett!’
      As Scarlett was a calm person, she didn’t care about that. But Scarlett had enough of everything that Starlight and Veronica had done, so she vanished.
      Things got very weird after she vanished, the door closed by itself, lights flickered, the bathroom roof often dripped a few drops of blood and they even heard ‘thirty days’ while sleeping. Every day, when they slept the numbers went down and they often had nightmares that they hadn’t had before. But for Lexi, she had great dreams and even Scarlett went to talk to her when she was lonely! After the numbers all went down to zero, Starlight and Veronica mysteriously passed away.
