Remember the Past
Scarlet's muscles were aching, her head throbbed, and she was sweaty. She moaned in pain then violently gagged herself from slumber. She helped herself up with the wall and leaned on it. The floor and the walls were steel and cold but the walls felt like papers were taped to them. Scarlet can hear dripping of water and conversation outside the room. She didn't dare to ask "How's out there?" because Scarlet's seen enough horror movies to know that's a bad idea. She could faintly see lights hanging from the ceiling.
"Lights. Where are is that fucking light switch?" She felt around.
She ran into the door but couldn't open it; no matter how hard she tried. Scarlet finally found the light and flipped the little switch to see something that would scar her for life.
Pictures of Scarlet were taped ALL over the wall. From the day she was born to just last weekend at her competition when she was the lead in the ballet. Scarlet trembled and started ripping the photos off and getting a good look at them. She fell to her knees and cried from fear; Jigsaw wanted her. Scarlet shook her head and wiped the mascara running down her cheek. The door creaked open and Scarlet quickly stood to her feet. A man in a wheel chair and a woman pushing him slowly walked in. Scarlet breathed heavily and just stared at the two. She fumbled her clammy fingers together, struggling to talk.
"Wh..What do you want with me?" She tried to remain calm but soon turned into a short temper. "Why do you have pictures of me since I was born? Are you some sort of perv?"
"Scarlet...that breaks my heart." He put his hand over his heart then looked up at Amanda.
"Yeah right. You don't know me well enough. You just stalked me, you don't know anything about me." She kept her eye on him.
"But you may be mistaken, Scar." He handed his oxygen mask to Amanda. She helped him up and stood by his chair.
Scarlet chuckled sarcastically. "Don't call me Scar. It's Scarlet Ann Lewis to you, sir."
John slowly walked to Scarlet and hugged her. Scarlet just kept stiff with her arms by her sides. "No...It's Scarlet Jillian Kramer." He whispered in her ear.
Scarlet pushed him back a few steps. "What? What are you talking about? That's not me."
John nodded. "It is. We haven't properly introduced ourselves. I'm Johnathon Kramer and this lovely girl behind me is Amanda Young."
Amanda's dark, long hair was in a low ponytail, staring at her.
Scarlet nodded. "I recognized her from the papers. You survived the Jigsaw Trap that he set up for you."
Amanda nodded. "Yeah, I know. I was there after all." She put her hands in her pockets.
Scarlet looked back to John. "So, what are you saying?"
John looked up from the ground. "I'm your biological father."
Scarlet felt her blood boil. "So, you're the asshole who gave me up and cut me off completely."
"Not true." He coughed into her sleeve. "After I left Jill in the E.R, Jill made a decision without me."

~Flashback~
"All I wanted to do was help them." Jill whispered in an apologetic tone.
"And you can help them...but first they have to help themselves." He put the watch in his pocket and threw a piece of paper away. John left the room and left Jill inside when the doctor came in.
"Mrs. Kramer, we just received shocking but exciting news." He had papers in his hand. "I can't believe this but tests shows that you're pregnant with a healthy baby girl. She's been in there for nine months and survived without Gideon."
Jill lifted her head. "What?"
"It's very unlikely but, see here?" He walked to her bed side and showed her the baby's head.
Jill shook her head. "I had no idea."
Mark Hoffman walked by and saw Jill inside, talking. He went behind the door and pressed his ear against it.
"Would you like to keep her? She is a twin of Gideon's and-"
"No." She said firmly.
The doctor paused. "N..no?"
"No. I don't want a girl, I wanted a boy and I lost him. I will give birth but send her to a different family. Please, don't tell John about this. He wouldn't like her because I don't either."
The doctor sighed. "Jill..I have to tell the husband." He explained.
"Please, no. Sign her up for adoption." Jill pleaded.
The doctor paused and thought about it. "Okay, I'll tell your husband that we have to keep you over night and he has to go."
Hoffman smirked and walked down the hallway feeling proud. "Wait til John hears about this.."

~Reality~
Scarlet shook her head slowly, trying to process this. "So, I had a brother? Why did she just give me up like that?"
John sighed. "She didn't want you because she wanted Gideon. If he was gone, Jill didn't care. But I did. You were suppose to look exactly like him, Scarlet. Maybe things would have changed."
"Jill is a screw up who screwed up your life, kid. She is a lying tramp." Amanda commented.
John turned around. "Amanda...go check the traps."
Mandy's expression on her face looked like a kid just got their toy taken away. "Fine." She muttered.
Scarlet sighed. "So, what do you want me for?"
John turned back to her. "Because, you're the lost heir to Jigsaw Legacy."
