It is 5:38 and it starts at 6:30, Scarlet is finishing getting ready. She's going to help me afterwords, she comes out in her stunning red dress, and takes out mine. She shows me where to change and I go in, the silk on the dress is so soft it feels like clouds. I put on the shaw and feel, like a princess. I want to take it off.
Scarlet hands me a knife and a gun, which she taught me how to use. And shows me inside pockets and how to slip the guns in them without the bulkiness showing. I feel safer, because Scarlet also has weapons. She doesn't wear make up, and looks gorgeous, it reminds me of Winter.
I just realized I'll see her, and Jacin soon. I can't wait to see them, and Cress. I'll be able to fly her down from space, and she and all the other shells will be treated like royalty.
  But then I'll be chained, to a throne in the moon. Stuck with no way out at least it's for a good cause. I guess.
  Scarlet is taking me on a hover, as she calls it. It's scary sounding, I don't like it one bit. But she said she used them all the time. I still dislike it, despite of how many times Scarlet tries to convince me it's not a death trap.
  Oh my... The palace is beautiful. It is so simple it reminds me of the gift the Emperor gave me, the peony. Elegant, yet simple, there's no such thing on Luna. They only thing is, I'm sure that palace lasted longer than the peony did.
  We're walking up the palace steps, but we best hurry, before it rains. I can see that it will, with the gray clouds, coming ahead.
