Scarlett & Ethan

chapter 15

Scarlett POV.

I pulled a Scarlett on everyone—I locked the house and left. I kept walking through the woods. I should be happy, but all I really feel is dread. It's been six years. I had hoped again and again that he'd be alive. He might be alive, but this couldn't be right. The body at the house might not have been his. But it's been six years.

Before I realize it, I find myself on the edge of a cliff. I let the winds sweep through me. I'm closer to answers than I've ever been, yet I feel lonelier than ever. I sit down on the edge.

I try to come to terms with the news. I try not to feel life being sucked out of me. I don't have the luxury of being reckless or emotional this time. And as time passes, it feels easier to breathe, easier to get distracted by the sunset. But my body is still tense, a reminder of what I've lost.

It was because of this tension that I realized someone was closing in on me, lurking behind the trees. I had put myself in such a vulnerable place.

Orion's POV

I snuck out of the hospital. How I managed it feels surreal, even as I walk the short distance to the boat, where I knew Hajya was. The nurse—her name was Hajya—I heard a coworker call her that. such a pleasant name. I hope not to freak her out by my sudden appearance, like some creepy and crazy stalker that escaped mental hospital following her.... it doesn't look good   

Ethan POV

"come on Ethan this is our only chance to get away" in all essens I knew Ravi was talking to me, I knew he made a point, I knew it and yet I was frozen were I first heard that voice. Orion. my brother, perhaps still alive, I couldn't move if I wanted to, I need answers. Ravi shaking me brought me out of my trance, "Ethan, what is it." I raise my gaze to his, hope flaring behind my eyes, a wave of relief, teary eyed I tell Ravi my revelation, "Orions voice"

Ravi POV

the initials, the same as on Ethans card. the same one that made him tense up when he first got it. he'd been so creeped out. find him if its the last thing you do. we need to get out of here. the second Xavier got out, I tried to get Ethan to move, to talk to me, but he seemed frozen up. like in a trance. I raised my hands to his arm, tried to shake him to get a reaction out of him. what could possibly scare him this much. that finally got a reaction out of him, but it hadn't been the one I expected, as he raises his gaze to mine, he says "Orions voice" the to words holding on to so much hope. 

I look up again. to where the initials showed up. find him if it's the last thing you do. he wanted her to find his brother.... Orion had in his last moments told scar to find Ethan. 

Xavier POV.

She jumped down. SHE jumped. down. what the fuck I mumbel under my breath as I hurry to the end of the cliff. when I look down. I see a small peace of ground, in which I hope she jumped of to, because if not I just witnessed a suicide. I'd hate to bringe her back to life just to kill her again. first of all what loser does that, second of all how dare she try and traumatize me like that. third of all what a psycho. Orion made himself a copy.
