Trapped in a video game (re-writing)

As I left the room, I saw a... girl. I screamed because she scared half to death. I put my hand on my sword and almost drew it at her neck before she calmly said " hello, Alex." She had a Fancy British accent. What she said made me grip my sword even tighter. " how do you know my name, and who are you?" I said in a menacing voice, so I could scare her off, but it didn't work. "Relax. It's me, Scarlet." She said half smiling. " you're not scarlet... she's a dragon." I said confused. " I can turn into a person....just like aqua can." She said. Great. More secrets he keeps from me.... " well, scarlet, why are you here?" I said. " because I need to warn you. Jayden might say he's fine, but he isn't. You want to cure him... do you not?" She says. " of course I do... I-I love him" I said blushing." Well then... you take the journey." She said smiling " journey?" I said. " yes. You must take a journey to find some things for a potion that you must bring back to me, so I can brew the healing potion for him."  She said as I grabbed a sheet of paper and a pen to write them down. I nodded to signify that she could tell me what to bring. I Laid up against the wall to write. " you must bring the most unique snowflake from the ice wolf that guards the artic, a sapling from the tree of hope located in the lands of faerie, the most elegant piece of coral from the depths of marine, and a single petal from the flower of the living." She said. " got it!" I said before almost walking away. " Alex? Who are you talking to?" I heard Jayden say. I almost forgot about him.... " uh.... no one..." I said. Scarlet vanished into thin air. I open the door and I could see the look of concern and sadness. I felt really bad. "I was talking to... myself." I said " about what?" He said. I can't tell him where I'm going, he wouldn't let me let me help him... he would only stop me.... but I can't lie to him either. " I was going to go.... exploring... again." I said with shifty eyes.  He sits up and shot me a look that said ' I know what you're doing '. " what? I serious." I said with a nervous smile. " you don't sound too..... serious." He said eyeing me. "I'll be gone... for a while. But I PROMISE you I'll be back." I said smiling. " um....ok " he says
