Black curls, long and full.

Dark eyes, hiding so many secrets and pain.

One to many frickles, in count of how many people died by the hands of her.

Full lips, rosy red like the blood dripping down her arms.

Pale skin, like the face of death had scared her soul.

Broken.

She was broken.

But she couldn't do anything about it or could she?

Cliona had yet to figure out Scarlets normality and Scarlet wanted to keep it that way. She will do as Cliona says, keep peace between her and the after life and maybe even be granted what she'd always wanted. Death.

Looking at the stained porcelain counter top Scarlet wondered what was do different from this hair dying then the rest. This one seemed to stick, seemed to cling onto her thick straids.

Scarlet looked back to the mirror, a girl she hadn't recognized stared back at her. "You are Scarlet, the one and only" she whispered sarcastically. "You are wanted, loved and are doing the right thing" Taking a step away from the mirror Scarlet turned to the victorian styled bathtub Ashley had.

The water was warm, enough to warm her chilled bones. She stepped in slowly, not use to the sudden warmth it gave her. A funny feeling appeared in the pit of her stomach and she liked it, she wanted more of it so Scarlet flexed her stomach and let her body slide under water.

Once she was filly submerged Scarlet opened her eyes and took in a deep breath and let the warmth fill her lungs. She didn't scream, she didn't thrust around, she kept still and inhaled more and more and more until she finally sat up and gasped for breath. Blinking rapidly Scarlet rubbed her eyes and watched the once clear water turn pink. It took her a long time to figure out why but when she did, she felt sick.

Ashley's blood had dried up on her and she hadn't realized it until now.

Scarlet stood up, water dripping from her body and back into the bath.

Taking the towel Scarlet dried off quickly, she wanted a long bath but the blood got to her. After dressing in black skinny jeans and a black fitted sweater. Slipping into flats she walked back into the leaving room where Ashley sat, she shook her.

"Hmm" Ashley hummed blinking awake "s-Luna" she corrected herself. "Ashley, I want you to listen to me carefully, in an hour or so Cliona's going to leave the house and I'll be with her. I won't have a choice and if she figures out her little hypnotic trick isn't working anymore she'll place me back under. I want you to find Xavier, tell me why I'm doing this and tell him to shock me several times like he did an hour ago." Scarlet paused, her eyes drifting off in thought, she looked back at Ashley.

Smiling sadly Scarlet finished "and tell him I love him, that I never wanted this to happen and that I had planned on returning after two months with Cliona but I fell sick. Tell him I didn't mean to leave him and that I was a fool to ever love Samuel but I still do. They are both my boys for better or for worse." Just as Scarlet stood up Ashley took her leg, "what are you going to do" looking down at Ashley Scarlet replied.

"What I should have done in the beginning but I was to scared to do. Cliona doesn't deserve a chance to leave and she could easily wipe out this pack if she wants to. I'm going to make a barrier, something wolves can't get past to save their lives and she Cliona is fawning over how well I've done. I'll kill her, point blank" taking out a pair of keys and a butcher's knife Scarlet handed it over.

"Take care Ashley"

"Do you like the toys?" Rushika nodded.

"I see no meaning in plastic games but it's oddly soothing" looking over at Xavier, Rushika smiled. "I can see why Scarlet loves you, she brags all the time when I was a child. Said that we could be a family" Xavier's smile faltered "a family?" Rushika nodded.

"Yep, but of course that was before Cliona started to manipulate her mind. She knows you won't except her for the things she's done after this is over. When it is we'll be going to the retreat" Xavier frowned "the retreat" Rushika began to play with her newly found toys.

"Yep, it's a place we're people like Scarlet and I belong. There they'll give her medicine to heal what Cliona has done to her and I will learn the extent to my abilities" taking a seat by the window Xavier gazed out of it before turning his gaze to hers.

"And what is Scarlet?" To that Rushika smile brightly "we are what humans call inhumane, a group or city of people with powers that can be unlocked when given the right situation and guidance. Many of us get our abilities when we don't mean to but it usually means something big happened to awake them. Cliona's mother called her the bastard child and yet her on fire, that's how she got her abilities and I'm guessing something happened to Scarlet to make her have hers"

"Which is?"

"Ice" Rushika chuckled, as if already knowing what caused Scarlets trigger Xavier looked to the ground.

"She fell into a lake of ice water when she was younger. We got her out three minutes after looking for her but she had no heartbeat, she came back to us a minute after warming her up. We thought we'd lost her but she was our miracle in the world of disbelief" Rushika smiled.

"Speaking of Scarlet, have you found her yet" Xavier chuckled to himself.

"I was so stupid and caught up in anger that I had forgotten that Scarlets collar has a tracking device attached to it. From what my beta has pulled up she's going to Frauds Field, a place where deals are set" Rakesh stood up. "Then what are we waiting for, let's go" standing up along with Rushika Xavier held out his hands.

"Your a little kid, you can't be in the mix of this" but Rushika only disagreed.

"I've spent my whole life with Cliona, never really getting a chance to run away and see the world. I studied her when she wasn't looking. I picked up her sleeping habits and her fetishs. I know her just as much as Scarlet does and I can be of use"
