Red Scarlet

Chapter 5- Blood Red

Scarlet gasped. She looked at Dexter and pointed to her Grandma's cell. The door was all white, and only a smile window allowed people to look in. Dexter gulped. "We can't go-"

"But it's my GRANDMA!" Scarlet said. "I need to help her."

"No." Dex replied. "Look" He pointed to a sign reading:

                                                                              DO NOT ENTER
                                                                          MONSTER INSIDE

Scarlet was confused. "Huh?" But that's-" A loud bang hit the door, and her Grandma's face showed up at the small window that peaks into the white room. Except the woman at the window wasn't her.... fully. It looked like she had hair all over. She had a huge nose, and teeth super sharp. Dex and Scarlet jumped.

"Scarlet! Help me..." her grandma said. She talked in pain, but her sweet voice stayed. "Listen, I know I look horrible, but they haven't injected everything in yet." Dex and Scarlet looked at each other in confusion. "Please... open the door." Scarlet limped forward and turned the handle. "That's it. Open...." Scarlet looked at Dexter. She says he clutched the gun in his hand. Scarlet took a deep breath in and opened the door. Her grandma fell forward. A horrible smell came out. Scarlet and Dex gagged and put their hands over their nose and mouth. Their eyes watered. "Thank you," her grandma said, struggling to get up. Scarlet looked in the cell. It looked gross there. There was blood on the walls and her grandma's slippers were ripped to shreds. She was a werewolf. "Grandma? What happened to you?" Scarlet asked. But backed away slowly.

"This is a top secret company that takes people and turns them into monsters. There is something out there. Strong enough to wipe out the entire human race. The only way to grab this item is to turn into... this." She looked down at herself. "Into a werewolf. This item, when out into the wrong hands, will cause tragic consequences. I managed to not fully turn into a werewolf, only half. But once a werewolf, you're a werewolf forever." She looked down the hall, towards the room where Scarlet was kept. The baker's hand was showing out of the door. "Like him. He was taken and forced to be a werewolf. He couldn't help it. That's how he became the best Baker. Once turned into a werewolf, you get a wish. A wish of any kind."

"What was your wish Grandma?" Asked Scarlet. Her grandma smiled. "It was-" BANG! Scarlet screamed.

"DEXTER YOU-" She turned and saw his face shocked just like her.

"It wasn't me." Her Grandma slumped down, revealing the shadowy killer who shot her Grandma. There was a foggy mist inside the room her Grandma came out of. The smell was gone, or they had just gotten used to it. There was a shadowy figure in foggy mist. Scarlet couldn't make out the figure. Not until the voice said "Tsk tsk. Secrets are kept as secrets. You should know that, Scarlet." Scarlet knew that voice.

It was her Mom's voice.
