My Puppet

HELP HIM!

Scarlet's POV

What does he mean we aren't telling Ethan?! Is he trying to get us killed? He knows what Ethan is capable of so why is he doing this? I don't understand what's going on in that head of his. Also, why is he with that guy, isn't he a fucking hero?! I've been out of the loop, and I need to be in it immediately. I look at Alex and his eyes are looking at that hero. Is Alex in danger? Is the hero manipulating him? What the fuck is going on in this damn apartment?!

Scarlet: Start talking asshole.

Alex: I know you are upset but please be calm.

Scarlet: I am calm.

Alex: If you were calm, you wouldn't be reaching for your blood ready to pounce on him.

Scarlet: Tch, fine.

I put my hands to the side waiting for him to speak again. I can tell he's overthinking.

Scarlet: Just talk.

Alex: I want Dylan to be free. I'm tired of this. He doesn't deserve this. He needs his old memories. We can't keep him Scarlet he was never ours to begin with.

I don't know what to say. He wants to stop this; does he know what he even is thinking? What am I even thinking of course he knows what he's thinking Alex always thinks things through. I wonder what made him finally decide to stop all of this.

Scarlet: Was this the Hero's doing?

Alex: He has nothing to do with this Scarlet. This is all me. Seeing Dylan around people his age and going to school made me realize we took this away from him the moment we took him and handed him over to Ethan. This is our mess; I need to clean it up. Please, help me. Help him, Scarlet.

I don't know what to think but one thing I know for sure is that he's right. We started this whole mess. Should I help him? Dylan is like a brother to me but this version of Dylan was created because of us. We both knew that it wasn't going to last forever, even though we both wanted it to. Doing this though will get us killed even worse get his family killed. Is it worth all that bloodshed? To be honest I have nothing to lose other than my own life but if giving up my life means freeing Dylan from this whole mess that we created then I'll gladly get myself killed for him. He's the only family I have other than Alex and he deserves the truth. If he remembers everything and ends up hating us then I'm fine with that because I'll cherish the memories we made with the Dylan we created because that Dylan to me is also real. It looks like I've already decided what I'm going to do.

Scarlet: Okay, I'll help you under one condition. Tell me all about you and your little toy over there.

He looks up at the hero and looks back at me with a tint of red on his cheeks. This is so going to be good. I can't wait for Dylan to find out about our little Alex blooming, he is so going to flip.

Aiden's POV

He hasn't woken up yet, it's been a couple of hours. I can still feel him breathing in and out while he's wrapped around my arms. He's warm and soft, like a teddy bear. At least he's alive, that's all that matters. I wonder what those idiots' downstairs are talking about. At least they aren't killing each other. Now that I think about it that wasn't no stranger those wings, I know from anywhere, Sky is here. I wonder how my idiot cousin Sky got involved in all this as well. I'm so going to kill him; asshole is always getting involved in things he shouldn't be. Dylan hangs around shady people and I'm going to guess that idiot bird knows it too.
