This starts on the train. (right afterchapter 23) All rights go to Marissa Meyer.
"They've already disposed of the old lady," ran whispered to me while Scarlet was focusing on the food. Was he being serious?
"They still want her," he continued. Why did they want Scarlet? But as soon as I ask myself that I answer my head.
I couldn't take her back to my pack, I needed to keep her safe. I couldn't let her get hurt, and that's all the pack was going to do, hurt her. The thought made me hurt. They didn't even need her, they just wanted to hurt her, I couldn't let that
happen. Why do I want to protect her? She's just an assignment. She's just an assignment, she's just an assign- my train of thought was lost when she woke up.
"Wolf?" She yawns.
"Yeah?"
"I-I think I remember something." No, I already know what she's talking about. Her grandma isn't even there to save anymore.
"Scarlet, don't go back" I say with force in my voice. "Run, far away from France."
"Why?"
"Your not safe."
"I know, I can't leave grand mere." I flinch.
"Scarlet, she isn't in danger anymore" I say carefully.
"What do you me-" she must have understood because she started to cry, and she didn't stop.
"Scar-"
"No, don't talk to me. You could have saved her but you didn't. Why did I trust you?" She cries.
"Look I know I didn't keep Michelle safe, but let me keep you safe please. I can't let them hur-"
She cut me off again.
"Is the guilt catching up now? Why would I trust you?" She says getting angry.
"You might not trust me, but I'm not going with you. I'm going back to pack, try to them distract them from you."
"B-but they'll kill you."
"I can take care of myself."
"I can't let you do that."
"Yes you can, and you will."
"But-"
"Don't worry about me," I said sternly. That made her quiet. "Here's the plan," I continue. " you run away to the middle of nowhere, where nobody will find you. I'll do the best I can with the pack. Run and don't look back." I can feel the train start
/to stop, we are entering Paris. "I'll get off here, but you won't. I found a hiding spot earlier, you can hide their until the train is far away from here."
She nods her head.
