The Truth About Roger and Tailset

Confusions

Scarlet started talking to Shadow, "Heard that you and Roger went on a mission together, what happened?" Scarlet asked.

"Ah, nothing really bad happened I guess," Replied Shadow.

"Just wanted to make sure, you're friend seemed on edge. Heck, he even broke his tranq-gun..., he didn't even replace it. We all know how Roger feels about his gun...," Scarlet stated.

Shadow nodded. "Mhm, unless something happened when we got separated, then again he wouldn't tell me."

"But you two are great friends! He would tell you anything! Unless...," Scarlet's eyes went wide, knowing there were only two reasons Roger would act this way.

"From my guess, I think you have an idea why," Shadow looked at her.

"Either he's being controlled, and that's a really high if since Roger can easily figure out a trap. Or his cousin was threatened, we both know he'll put his life on the line for her." Scarlet's orange eyes flared in anger, she wanted to know who would do such a thing.

"Ah...," Shadow started to process what had been said.

Ziggy ran past them and they heard her giggling. "ZIGGY!!! HOW COULD YOU!? GET BACK HERE!!!" Roger yelled. Ziggy was already gone, Roger growled and walked over to a tree and sat down with his back to it. Shadow looked puzzled at what just happened.

Scarlet looked at Shadow, then Roger. She shrugged to herself and walked over to Roger, "Hey...," Scarlet started from behind Roger. Roger jumped up from being spooked and kicked Scarlet down.

Roger saw who he kicked and he backed up, "I- I, uh...," Roger panicked and suddenly ran away.

Scarlet was on the ground holding her stomach in pain, "Ssssshhhhhiiiitttttt..., it hurts so bad...,

"Roger!-" Said Shadow and sighed, helping Scarlet up.

"I'm- I'm fine...," Scarlet groaned and coughed a little. "But I know for sure that wasn't Ziggy who ran off..., I don't know who though...," 

Allison and Prince walked overlooking upset for some reason, "I'm telling you, I heard it..., whatever it was..., talking to him! It's like something is haunting him...," Prince whispered to Allison. 

 "I'm not doubting you, but it seems like this isn't a spirit, you know Alexzander well enough to know that," Allison whispered back.

"Mhm- I guess?" Said Shadow. "First of ARE you pretty sure you ARE okay?" Asked Shadow.

 "You know my sister Sara can heal it...," Scarlet promised Shadow. Prince and Allison walked over to them. 

 "Hey, Shadow?" Prince asked.

"What is it?" Asked Shadow.

"I think something is haunting Roger, I've already told Allison and we both agree it's not a spirit that's haunting him," Prince reported.

"Haunting him? And are you sure it's not a spirit?" Replied Shadow.

"I heard Roger crying in his room, tell whatever it was to leave his cousin and friends alone! I walked into his room but didn't see anything and Roger's room was a wreck! Look, I have a picture!"

"Oh, dear..., Then whatever this thing is, can only be seen by Roger himself and maybe someone else but must likely only Roger can see it," Said Shadow, staring at the image.

"We think it might be able to choose who it gets seen by, but most likely Sara could see it since she's can summon spirits so if it's a demon Sara and Scarlet could do something about it!" Allison stated. 

"I think you might be onto something!" Scarlet remarked.

"Mhm..., I agree" Said Shadow.
