Chapter 21

Night's P.O.V
The next day I was the first one to wake up. We were all seated in the kitchen. Everyone spoke about Scarlett. Saying things like "We should tell her, she has a right to know," or "How should we tell her?" I didn't say much through it. I saw a peek of red hair at the door frame of the kitchen. The chatter went dead silent.
"Could you guys make this anymore awkward?" I ask annoyed when after 5 minutes no one talks or moves.
I look over to Scarlett who was acting pretty weird. She hid behind the door like a scared or shy child. One of our housekeepers must've given her some clothes. She was wearing black knee cuffed sweats and a white long sleeved shirt with a small black pocket on her left breast. I looked down when I realized I was smiling. I was probably creeping her out more.
"What's up Scar?" I hear Quincy laugh nervously.
I look to see her reaction. Scarlett walks slowly away from the door and clumsily too.
"What's wrong Scar?" asks Razor.
"I feeeell lllllikkeeee puddinnggg." Scarlett slurs drunkishly.
After a moment of silence everyone bursts out laughing. What the hell was that? I think laughing too. Maria walked into the kitchen not making eye contact with anyone but my mother, who gave Maria a suspicious look.
"Scarlett refused to hold still. When she woke up she frantically scurried to get out of the house. We house keepers were under strict order to keep her here at all costs. She refused to listen or calm down, being chaotic at one point. Scarlett hit Chef Boyard in the face with his pan. After having enough Edmond and he held her down while I shot a sedative through her arm." Maria says calmly.
A slight blush appeared onto her cheeks. One more pause, then laughter again. My mother looked amused and shook her head slightly laughing.
"Alright I can see you took the correct steps necessary to keep Scar here. You are free to go. No wait. What's wrong are you ok?" Mom asks noticing Maria's uncomfortable-ness.
"It's nothing miss. Scarlett just did some inappropriate things when the sedative kicked in." Maria said quietly although she knew we all could hear.
"Like?" asked Naiomi curious.
I was curious too.
"Um...besides hugging me and not letting go there wasn't much else. I am not really the social type..." Maria said.
My mom looked confused and didn't know how to react. Who would? She walked off soothing Maria on the way with her. The women in our family were pretty shy.

Night's P.O.V
We all went about doing our own things while our parents tried to find a way to explain to Scarlett. I was about 7:30 and the pack just went out to train. I wasn't really feeling up to it. They're traveling pretty far and won't be back for another 4-5 hours. I stayed back with Scarlett since she just woke up from a nap. Razor managed to get another sedative into her earlier in the day. He left me one in case I needed it. I don't think I'll use it if she gets back to her senses.
Scarlett sat there on the couch crossed legged. She yawned softly as I walked over to her with a glass of warm milk and cookies. She's been refusing to eat anything unless she had those first. Unfortunately you can't have anything sweet after a sedative. You need to wait at least a few hours. Scarlett must be hungry.
