Chapter 2:

"I want you to want me"

It's later that day and Michael is getting ready to do his interview with Scarlet. Still captivated by the earlier interview with Harmony and thoughts about that still on his mind he's ready to see what this interview reveals. Scarlet is thinking deeply about what her life will become and thinking "what if". She is interrupted by Ms. Meade.

"Michael will see you now he won't like waiting," she tells her sternly.

Scarlet gets up to go and passes Harmony on her way. They both share a look of understanding. Despite wanting to make physical contact they refrain. Michael's door is slightly cracked open so Scarlet goes in and gently closes the door behind her. Before she can turn around Michael's hand is on her shoulder.

"Glad you arrived right on time. Time for the interview, so sit down" he commands with a sly grin.

She can't help but smile back and she sits down. The ambience of Michael's room is comforting to her. Little light with his room lit up by just the glow of the candles. Nothing is out of place and everything is neat. She crosses her legs and meets Michael's gaze as they both make eye contact.

"Now that you're comfortable I have some questions to ask. If you lie I will know. If you try to manipulate me then this ends immediately and you will no longer be a consideration for the sanctuary," he says sharply. "You are here because I am going to decide who is most worthy of coming with me and the select special few to the new world beyond this one. Do you understand?" he asks her curiously but firmly.

"Yes I understand and I won't lie. Anything you want to know please just ask," she responds confidently.

Michael brings his chair closer to her, enough so that they are almost touching. This seems to make Scarlet flustered.

"Your full name, age, and sexuality," he commands.

"I am Scarlet Cullen. I am 30 years old. I am pansexual but prefer women," she replies slightly embarrassed by her confession.

Michael just smiles and grabs her hand so that their fingers interlock with one another and she closes her eyes. He starts to have a vision about Scarlet. She is tied up and bound. She is blindfolded and she is being whipped. The vision goes almost as quickly as it came to him. Scarlet opens her eyes and makes eye contact with Michael.
