CHAPTER 28, THE STRING SHE PULLS.

It had been an hour since the grand gala, and scarlet and Sophie had just got back from it.
" oh look whose back!" Kal spat.
Scarlet looked over the hedges to see Kal, Maisy, Jewel and Leo.
" the traitor finally got here." Maisy whispered.
" what!" Scarlet stalked over to them, anger flaring in her eyes.
" having fun with Sophie, are you?" Kal hissed.
Scarlet lunged for Kal, beating him with her fists.
Sophie watched from behind a tree, grinning as Kal was getting hurt. Kal watched in terror as scarlet used her power to blast him into a nearby bush. The group ran off, scared.
Scarlet walked slowly over, blood smeared all over her hands.
" Kal, would you just be happy for once? It's weird to think I ever liked you!" She then ran for him, and he screamed as she pulled his hair and punched him in the nose. His nose was bleeding.
" scarlet-" he tried to talk but she punched him again.
" this...isn't-" scarlet swayed both hands at him from the side, and kicked him in the chin, he looked brutally hurt now. " you." Something about those words stopped scarlet dead.
She watched as Kal ran away, getting to the safety of the tower. Scarlet looked down at her hands, the blood smeared all over them.
" what am I doing?" She fell to her knees, tears forming from her face.
" why do I wanna hurt him so bad?" She turned away and then spotted Sophie. She was leaning on a tree, grinning wider then ever.
" it's your fault!" She screamed.
Sophie slowly walked over.
" oh, no. I'm helping you, dear. Two very different things" she smiled deviously, and scarlet now knew what she was trying to do.
" to think I actually liked you!" Scarlet cried.
Scarlet ran away to the tower, not knowing what to do anymore. Sophie stared.
She then frowned. This is only half of my plan. She doesn't know what is coming next, so she better not screw this up.
