Vincent's POV
Me and Scarlet walked to school that Wednesday morning. The air was warm and there was a nice breeze. When we arrived at school, I notice Hunter staring at me from a distance. It was kind of creeping me out. I hoped he wasn't like, a major stalker. Because, he is totally acting like one right now.

Lunch time
Me and Scarlet were in our little friend group. Katey had come back from home schooling and was there now. I walked away for a little bit to throw away my milk carton. I turned around and saw Hunter standing there. I jumped back a little bit and sighed.

"Hey little man. Don't scare me like that. Hey um.. I was wondering-" I cut myself off when I saw a spirit. I shivered a little bit but tried not to pay much attention to it. Hunter wouldn't take his gaze off of me.

He stuck his hand in his pocket and pulled out a knife. Whoa, whoa. What was going on? Hunter backed me up against be wall. I heard a little whisper that said "It's time for our revenge Vincent." Hunter raised the knife to my throat.

"You stole her from me. You took her and now you use her for your own needs." He growled. What was he talking about? I didn't take her from any one. It got closer to me and I could feel it's cold blade on my skin.

"You took Scarlet, Vincent. Don't play dumb with me. I tried the easy way. I tried getting her attention by being nice and funny. I tried but you were always on her mind. I tried to win her heart by murdering her parents so I could comfort her. But no. You HAD to be in the way of my plans. But now I don't have to worry about you any more."

I felt scared, ashamed, and happy at the same time. I was scared because there was someone getting ready to kill me and there was a ghost present.
I was ashamed because the person who was trying to kill me was like, a midget. I was happy because he just told me how she always has me in her mind.

Scarlets POV
What was taking him so long. I told the group I would be back. I walked up to the trash can and saw Hunter holding a knife to Vincent. What the heck? Vincent looked over at me and blurted, "He killed your parents. He did it. He told me while trying to kill me."

I stared at Hunter in horror. Why would he do such a thing? I saw Hunter put pressure on the knife and I did something I did t know I could do.

In a flash I was behind Hunter, holding his hand towards himself.

"Don't touch him again. You have killed my patents, and you will not, I repeat, you will NOT touch another one of my loved ones again. And if you do I will hunt you down and make sure the only people you hurt, are the ones in hell." I whispered in his ear. I felt so weird doing this. He dropped the knife and ran away.

Vincent's POV
When Scarlet scared away Hunter her eyes were black with white dots. She did it and it kind of scared me. Remind me not to make her mad. She grabbed my hand and lead me to the group. The rest of the day was pretty great.
