Chapter 2
I stood up wiping the tears ready to face what was coming for me. Looking for last time around me I ran back. It was easy for me coz I followed my own scent. I thought that I was running for ages until I reached the house.
I walked inside to find the man by the fireplace. He stiffened imedentialy maybe thinking I'm going to kill him. I forced a smile since he stood up and bowed.
-"Miss Crimson." he said
-"Please call me Scarlet." I said as gentle as I could "And your name?"
-"I'm sorry Mi...Eh...Scarlet. My name is Charles and I'm Lord Vlad Baltimore's servant."
-"Hmmm. isn't he the head of the council and a royalty?"
-"Yes, Miss."
-"Scarlet." I corrected him. "Maybe we may start a good friendship with you" I told him and he smiled hesitantly.
-"Liza!" I called.
She instantly appeared in the doorframe.
-"You called Miss?"
-"Yes. Please serve the dinner and prepare our things. We are going back. We have funeral to attend." I said coldly
-"Yes, Miss." she bowed and left.
It was morning and Charles was helping Liza with the bags putting them in my white Lexus. I sat on the front balcony sipping from my coffee watching them. I needed a plan. I was to find who did this and destroy him!
At the headquarters
The doctors were rushing trying to save Lady Larisa's life. He was sitting by her side trying to hold his tears. He squeezed her hand but no response came from her.
-"Please don't die Larisa! Live! For me!" he whispered urgently.
The last two days were on chaos. Almost half the council was dead and people were running in panic with these news. Families were rushing at the headquarters trying to get the now empty places of the council and others mourning over their loved ones.
I must be there but I couldn't force myself to leave her side. Yes I loved her and I was too coward to tell her until now. And now maybe it was too late.
Damn!
I wanted to punch something! To crash! To broke! To destroy!
I heard a knock on the door.
-"Come in!"
On the door appeared a young one man.
-"Sir Baltimore. I have news." he said.
I looked at Larisa and nodded.
-"Come outside."
We walked out of the room leaving the door open.
-"Sir we have news from the place of the murder. Where we found Lady Larisa was written with blood "Thanks for the help. No needed now! ยป It is pointing clearly that she is the traitor and she was the only one to survive!"
I looked at her from the open door.
-"No! She isn't able to do something like this!" I said
-"Sir. The others think otherwise and they will want justice!" the young man told him.
-"We must stop them. We must do something fast enough for her and prove she is innocent. Otherwise she will live a life of hell or get killed!" I said
The man nodded and disappeared in the crowded halls.
We were damned!
The funeral was for all the council members with a memorial for them. I wore all black with a black veil over my dark brown hair and over my face.
I went over the memorial where along other rich families I readed my parents names. Mary and Adam Crimson. My loved parents. I chocked back the tears that were to spill.
Mummy! Daddy! Bye!
I said inside my head touching softly their names.
It was dime day like my mood.
I looked around me sitting on one stone bench.
Rich and royalty families gathered together. Even the King and the Queen and their son and daughter were there. Peoples were crying others were just sad and others looked that they were here just to socialize.
-"Isn't this Lady Scarlet Crimson?" I heard a whisper not far from me.
-"Poor kid! She just closed her 18th birthday and must face so much!" I snorted. I don't need anyone's pity!
-"Yeah. Poor girl! Now orphan with the two her parents dead and an aunt a traitor!" exclaimed the other lady.
I tensed my ears. What are they talking about?
-"Well now her aunt will have all she wanted. A place at the council and the head council she was in love hers!"
I stood up. It couldn't be true! My aunt? Wth?
I ran to the buildings and to the room my aunt rested and found her with Sir Baltimore. My eyes got red from anger.
-"I heard what people are talking! Is it true? Because of you my parents are dead?" I shot my aunt
Her eyes filled with tears.
-"It's not true Scarlet! It's a trap against me!" she said
-"Prove it!"
-"I...I can't yet." she told me.
-"Then I don't believe you! I shall destroy you! I will take everything and everyone you ever wanted and loved away from you like you took my parents! You will suffer and wish for death! I promise this to you!" and with that I stormed out
-"Scarlet!" I heard her call me but I never turned back.
Vlad's POV
We were in the meeting room disgusting the new members of the council. Many families had theirs ready members but for some we had to vote.
We were almost finishing and it was a long day.
-"For the Crimson's places who will take the place?" asked one of the council members.
The double doors opened with a loud bang and there stood Scarlet in all her beauty! Her hair was up in a messy bun and she wore black and red corset and black leader pants. She looked like a goodness of war and she was so gorgeous!. She was smirking when she came inside slowly watching everyone's faces.
-"Me! Of course!" she said making a slow circle around the table.
-"As the only and rightful heir of them the place is mine!" she talked slowly looking each other in the eye.
I was also dazed like all the others. And there was no doubt that she will take the place that belonged to her!
After the meeting took an end I went back to Larisa's room.
-"What happened?" she asked me the moment she saw me entering.
I sighed as I sat on the chair next to her bed and took her hand in mine.
-"As we discussed Scarlet barged in and took her place in the place of her parents place. She was majestic! She had as in daze when she was talking!"
Larisa chuckled lightly and I looked her in amusement.
-"What's so funny?" I asked her.
-"Well that's my Scarlet taking whatever she wants just by dazing people. Don't you get it? She have the power of compulsion!"
I gasped! This was really bad if you are on Scarlet's bad side!
We sat there in silence thinking over and over the situation going nowhere.
Suddenly a smile spread over my face and my eyes glowed.
-"Want to share?" asked me Larisa watching me like I was going mad.
-"I have the perfect plan! You just have to be patient coz it will take some time." I told her.
-"Trust me everything is going to be just fine and maybe better in the end" I said to her kissing her forehead and went out.
