Scarlet could not feel her body. She could not move her limps or speak her mind.



She had to watch in slow motion as he body moved within her permission. Taking Ashley's blood, beating her, feeding Cliona, calling her mother. It disgusted her to know end but what could see do? She was not in control and Cliona knew it.

. . .but she smiled like it was her everyday life, probably because it was.

The feeling was not unfamiliar to Scarlet. Ever since she'd first agreed to stay with Cliona and learn about herself she felt something was off but shrugged it off. She need to learn about herself and that was important but after months of eating Cliona's food Scarlet became sick. Hospitalized sick and spent days in been but she didn't know why.

She thought she'd caught the flew. That it would go away and after seven months it did. Cliona took care of her, kept her in bed and caressed her cheek as Scarlet road out her throw ups and long sleepless nights.

Scarlet knew it was a bit weird that Cliona showed no worry for her but then again they weren't close and if Cliona had gotten sick, Scarlet wouldn't care. So she kept her worries to herself. . .little did she know Cliona had given her poison and kept feeding it to her. Leaving Scarlets body weak and useless but Cliona had other plans, she told Scarlet she had a cure and Scarlet took it without question. It was then that she figured out Cliona's plans but it was to late. Cliona had given her some kind of toxic potion that allowed Cliona to use Scarlets body to her will.

Scarlet didn't realize until months later and after hundreds of blackouts. Cliona again caressed her cheek and whispered words in Latin before telling Scarlet what she had done to her. Leaving Scarlet weak.

She tried to do something, she really did but every time she picked up a knife she'd end up stabbing herself instead and but she still tried. Every night up until Cliona had enough and threatened Scarlet with her friends. Cliona said she'd kill them within seconds if Scarlet stepped out of line and to make sure she kept in her place, Cliona tied her to a bed and did open surgery.

Scarlet felt it all, painful to say the least but she couldn't move. Couldn't feel her body and that kept going for the next five years.

Somewhere in those years Cliona brought a one year old Rushika to the house and had Scarlet take care of the child. She said the girl was the last piece of the puzzle and that soon enough Scarlet would be able to see her friends again. To make sure of it Scarlet took the lashings Rushika had earned herself and protected the young girl. She raise Rushika as her own and when Rushika showed her true wisdom the team became a family.

Scarlet looked after Rushika and Rushika kept herself in check, earning a new book each week.

Back to the present Cliona stood up "Their coming for me Scarlet. I want you to kill them" as if understanding Cliona, Scarlet nodded.

"Your to good for me Scarlet" Cliona walked down the hall and into the room she was staying in.

"S-scarlet" crooked a voice, Scarlet ignored it like she wasn't there "p-please listen t-t-to me, s-she's using you" Again Scarlet ignored her and continued to clean dishes and chop vegetables. She worked quickly on the pot of deer stew she was planning to make for dinner.

"Scarlet l-listen!" Slamming the knife down Scarlet turned to Ashley with pitch black eyes. "I told you to shut the fuck up! You can't call me Scarlet, we aren't friends. I'm your Luna and I will be treated as such" taking the knife Scarlet continued to cut veggies and mix broth in a pot. She turned to the sizzling meat and inhaled the sight, adding more Italian seasoning.

"You should tell me where you get your seasonings from. They smell good and I bet they taste goof as well" pouring season salt into the water Scarlet dumped a bowl of veggies into the broth. She then added paste and more Italian seasoning.

"Luna" Ashley whimpered "he loves you, he really does. I was lying, we never slept together like that but he did speak warmth from be during the night" Scarlet jumped at the sudden voice in her head, she turned to Ashley with a raised eyebrow.

"He will never love me the way he loves you" it was like the rage faded, her will to hurt Ashley faded. Scarlet had control of her body but very little. "I-" Scarlet seized up, she dropped to her knees reaching for the collar around her neck that was clearly shocking her in uneven waves.

Some long, some short but either way they came back.

"G-g-g-get i-it o-o-off m-m-me" Scarlet coughed, she clawed at the necklace wrapped around her neck in return burning her fingers.

"You see!" Ashley exclaimed softly "it-its Xavier" Ashley spit blood from her mouth "he's looking for you"

In a state of shock Scarlet could not speak, the shocks stopped after ten minutes leaving her neck with burn marks. She stood up, head bowed and walked back over to the pot. She began to stir. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" ashley yanked at the chains attached to her wall. She growled at Scarlet "he wants you back scarlet! He wants to know the truth, why aren't you doing anything?" Scarlet looked at Ashley. She shook her head.

"You wouldn't understand. I've dealt with five years of Cliona's sick games, no matter how many times I get free she'll take me back. Whether it's in a day, week or month. I will come back to her and not because I want to. She's threatened my friends, killed Samuel, she won't let me go without getting what she wants" Scarlet added the meat and continued to stir.

"I'm sorry for what I did, that was me and my dark side I tried to hide. Cliona didn't make me do it. I did it on my own free well" Scarlet chuckled "like mother like daughter huh?" It was like a sick joke that Scarlet wanted to cry at but all she could do was laugh.

Laugh and laugh even more.

"My mother never wanted me Ashley, she wanted what I can do and what I can bring her. She posioned me and almost killed me with no remorse in her eyes, she used me as her lab pet so that whenever I try to escape she could drag me back in. She may be a bitch but she's damn good at it" Ashley laid her back against the wall, she listened to Scarlet closely.

"I don't deserve to be Luna, I deserve to die along with her"

Author's Note:

So I decided to bring up a real problem to suicide or people feeling weak, alone and depressed. I tried not to say it directly but create a feel for this chapter revolving around it.

I want you to know that you are not alone. Many people feel the way you do and I feel as though they need to make a place for people with suicidal thought, are depressed and have anxiety so that they can talk to people who feel the same way and maybe even prevent suicide.

I am suicidal myself. I try not to speak about it but I'm suicidal, depressed and a whole lot of other things my family doesn't know about so if you need someone to talk to and your using books as your safe haven. Know you've got me and billions of others out there.
