There's a slight knock on the large white door. Scarlett rolls over in her bed and hides under her giant stuffed panda. The door creaks open.
"Scarlett?" Victoria asks wearly, "are you ok?"
There's no answer.
"Scarlett. You can't ignore me forever."
Still no answer. Victoria chucks a jar at Scarlett then stomps out. Scarlett sits up rubbing her head. The sees a nutella jar sitting there with a dent in it from impact on her temple. She opens it and starts eating the spread. After a while she cleaned her face off and ran to the door at the end of the hall. She knocks but there is no answer. She opens the door and it was empty. She runs down the stairs and to the kitchen. Empty. She runs to every single room but to no avail. They were all empty. She sits on the stairs trying to find out where Victoria could possibly be. The front door flies open and a shadowy figure emerges with a shaking satchel.
"Where the beck have you been?" Scarlett snapped.
"Out." Victoria said bluntly while taking off the cloak.
She sets the pouch on the ground and a small whimper comes from the bag. Scarlett walks to it and stares.
"What is in there?"
Victoria rolls her eyes and lifts up the flap. A small ball of soggy fur attacks Scarlett. She screams then runs to Victoria.
"What?" She asks chuckling.
"THAT THING TRIED TO KILL ME." She screamed
Victoria starts laughing hysterically. She picks up the fur and slicks it back to reveal a wolf puppy panting heavily. Scarlett walks to the puppy and starts giggling as it licks her nose.
"Where did you find him." She asks in between laughs.
"He was wondering the forest alone so I decided to bring him here. I'll trim his fur and wash him up."
Scarlett nods as Victoria carries the mound of fur to the restroom. After half an hour or so a small puppy with black and white spots prances out of the room with Victoria following behind with soaked clothes.
"How was he?" Scarlett asks holding back laughter.
Victoria glares then runs to get into dry cloths. She walks out and Scarlett is playing with the puppy.
"Have you come up with a name yet?" Victoria asks.
Scarlett stares at the puppy chewing on her hair thinking.
"How about....Oreo!" She yells
Victoria rolls her eyes then nods, "Oreo it is."
