Scarlet Rose Strike, or as she likes it, Scar, is having a pretty bad day. First, Spark started having a fit, and had to be reborn again. Then, she accidentally set someone on fire with her hair. Finally, she got a stalker. Well, more like a hunter.
See, 'Spark' is a phoenix. He was getting old, and today, he was reborn out of his ashes again. This may not sound like much, but it takes a lot of work for him to quiet down so the neighbors don't get suspicious.
When Scar got to her job, she instantly got mad. Joe Scarf was talking to her boss about how she supposedly slapped a little child. "And why would I do that?" Scar demanded. "Because you have no heart and hate children, that's why, you bitch." Scar's eyes narrowed, and her head started getting warmer. "If I didn't have a heart I wouldn't be living now would I? Learn basic facts, idiot." She was happy with her response. "You know what whore? Just go and fuck yourself!" Joe yelled. Scar couldn't take his shit anymore. Her hair burst into flames and wrapped around him. "What the-!" Her boss yelled and ran away. "Say you're sorry, you ass!" Scar yelled. "I-I'm sorry! Please!" She let Joe go. "Do that anymore and those burns will be a lot worse, here me?" Joe nodded and ran away. Scar's boss came up to her then. "What the fuck is up with your hair?!" She yelled. "I-I have this, superpower I guess, where I can turn my hair into fire. I couldn't control it then, I was so angry. I'm sorry, boss." Scar stammered. "It's okay, Scar. I never liked Joe anyway. Just don't do that to me and you still have a job, okay?" Scar smiled brightly. "Yes ma'am!"
When Scar got home from her rather boring job as a model, she noticed something. There were small cameras in each of the corners of the room. "Hey Jess?" She called out. "Yeah?" Jessica called back. "Did you put all these cameras in the house? They're a bit creepy." Jess walked out of her room looking kind of nervous. "Uh..yeah. I did. For..safety y'know?" Scar new something was wrong, but she didn't say anything. "Okay.." She walked to the kitchen to get a snack when Jess burst into tears. "Jess! What's wrong?" Scar ran to her side. "I-I'm sorry, Scar. I didn't put these cameras here. Some creepy guy made me put them there in exchange for money to pay off our debt. He didn't say why, but he said if I told you, he'd kill me!"
