CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE!(:
~*~*~33~*~*~
“Why did we have to be alone?” Scarlet asked, sitting down at one of the tables in the library. “So I could ask you some questions” Spencer shrugged, putting his hands on the table in front of him. “What kind of questions?” Scarlet asked skeptically. “Just questions,” Spencer shrugged. “They’re simple questions” “Then ask already…”Scarlet hesitated. “Where’s your mother?” “Um, I’m adopted.” Scarlet hesitated. “Who’s your adoptive mother?” “Her name is Marilyn Cross” Scarlet said, putting her fingers together in her lap. “Do you know who your birth mother is?” Spencer asked, keeping his voice down. “No, Marilyn said she found me in a graveyard behind an orphanage crying my eyes out.” Scarlet murmured, slighting uncomfortable. “A graveyard?” Spencer swallowed. “Whoever her father was, didn’t want her,” John walked in and took the empty seat next to Scarlet. “So he dumped her in the backyard where they buried the dead children who’d lived at the orphanage during their lifetime” “How do you know that?” Spencer inquired. “I know a lot about Scarlet, almost everything,” John put his hand on Scarlet’s. “I don’t stalk you or anything, it’s just my job to know…” “…oh” Scarlet murmured, keeping her head down. “How did Marilyn find her?” Spencer asked, this time looking at John. “Marilyn is unable to bear children, so she was at the orphanage in search of a son,” John admitted. “They took her out back, for a little fresh air, and she heard a baby crying. When she tried to pick the baby up, she got burned. The shield Scarlet put up was too strong for her to get through, she kept trying for the next 45 minutes, or so, and then finally got her.” “How did she get her?” “She shoved her hands through the shield and picked her up” “She just put her hands through it?” “Scarlet was young, and it was probably easy for Marilyn to get to her after a long period of time.” John explained. “How did you know all of that?” Scarlet said, pulling her hands out from under his. “Marilyn didn’t even tell me that.” “Samantha told me” “Samantha?” Scarlet glanced at him. “Who’s Samantha?” Spencer asked. “John’s family Au Pair, she watches his little brother because his parents aren’t ever home,” Scarlet glared at John.“How does Samantha know?” “Because she was my protector till I grew old enough to protect both you and me” John’s eyes lowered and he swallowed roughly. | “This is ridiculous!” Scarlet got up, and stormed out of the room.
“What just happened?” Spencer asked, after the door slammed shut and some books fell off the shelves. “This is strange for her,” John said. “She doesn’t take well to change” “I didn’t mean to anger her” Spencer said. “She’s just had a rough day,” John put his face in his hands. “She’ll be okay” “When will she be able to get used to all this?” Spencer inquired, looking around. “I have no idea” he groaned, shaking his head in his hands. “Hey Spencer? Why is Scarlet allowed on the roof but not me?” Anastasia asked, glaring at Spencer. “She’s not. Why?” he raised an eyebrow. “She’s out there, standing up on the ledge” Anastasia whined. “She’s what?!” John shouted, pushing the table slightly. He ran out of the room, Spencer on his heels. “What’s the problem?” Spencer asked, a worried look on his face. “She’s scared of heights and she’s clumsy” John looked up at the top of the Institute to see Scarlet looking down with a look of pure terror on her face. “Someone get her!” Spencer shouted. “She threatened to jump when Ollie tried” Ronnie spoke up. “Oliver tried to get her down?” Spencer asked, shocked. “Not really, he said something that made her angry” Ronnie corrected. “Scarlet, get down from there!” Spencer shouted. “I can’t!” Scarlet protested. “Annie, please, come down!” John yelled. “How did you get up there?!” Spencer asked loudly. “I don’t know!” Scarlet cried. “Please come down!” John begged. “I can’t!” she whined. “I can come get you!” John suggested. “I don’t know how I got up here!” she had tears in her eyes. “Jump!” Spencer shouted. “Are you crazy?! No!” Scarlet screamed. “I’ll catch you!” John held up his arms. She closed her eyes, and jumped off the ledge. She held back her scream, the fear rising as her stomach felt like it was going up her throat. John braced himself for impact, watching Scarlet fall, he moved to catch her. Right as she was within his reach she vanished. Into thin air. |
