Just for the record,

The weather today is slightly sarcastic with a good chance of:

A. Indifference or

B. Disinterest in what the critics say

Scarlett's P.O.V

*one week later*

The past week had been rather stressful for Scarlett. The reason being that she was trying to figure out why the Demon had disappeared. It would've been a lot faster if she could use some of the incantations in some of the books she had, but she needed the Demons power to cast it. Of course if she had the Demons power then she wouldn't need to look into it. On top of that she felt like banging her head against a wall because she had to deal with teenagers, and if anything was more stressful and frustrating than that she didn't know what she was going to do. If she had the Demons powers she could've just frozen them into their seats and silence them when they got to loud, but since she didn't have the Demons powers she had to suffer.

The only good thing about her teaching was that Scott sat in most of the time "to make sure no windows break again" he had explained the first time. The kids settled down enough to make the class bearable to teach but it was still hard. Near the end of the week Scarlett was very close to jumping off the roof of the manor.

Stop stalling, make a name for yourself.

It was Friday and Scarlett had just finished teaching her last class of the day. After putting her stuff away she sat on the couch and let out a loud sigh. She looked up when she heard someone enter the room to see Scott coming in with two cups of coffee.

"Thanks." Scarlett said as Scott handed her one. "I need this. It's never too early for coffee."

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon." Scott said, frowning

"Mmhm." Scarlett said sipping her coffee. "That might be true, but when you have to teach teenagers about history for several hours, caffeine becomes your best friend."

They sat in silence for a few minutes with Scarlett sipping her coffee.

"What are you looking at?" Scarlett asked, setting her coffee down and glaring at Scott who was looking at her.

"Nothing." Scott said, frowning slightly. "I was just thinking about how much you've changed personality wise since I've met you."

"People change all the time." Scarlett said. "It's not that impressive."

"I'm glad that you're not so much of a psycho bitch like you were the first few days." Scott replied.

"I don't think that you have to worry about me being a psycho bitch and more." Scarlett said frowning.

"Is it because of the ummm..." Scott said slightly uncertainty.

If you talk you better walk you better back your shit up

"Demon?" Scarlett said rolling her eyes. "Or would you prefer Devil or Fiend? Ooo how about Monster? I think that is something that your human mind can wrap around."

"I'm not that stupid." Scott said, bristling. "And what do you mean by 'human mind'? Are you saying that your not human?"

"I was." Scarlett said stretching her arms and yawning.

"Was...?"

"I suppose I still am." Scarlett said. "I mean you could say that I'm a Mutant, right? And Mutants are humans with mutated genes that make them have special powers."

"You're avoiding the question." Scott said.

"Fine." Scarlett said. "If you want me to tell you the truth then I will. I'm going to make this more entertaining for me and have you guess things."

"Why?"

"Because I'm bored and need some entertainment." Scarlett replied. "Guess what I need right now."

"Sleep?" Scott asked.

"Nope." Said Scarlett. "Do you really want to know what I need?"

"Yes." Scott said.

"Well, you asked for it." Scarlett said, grinning before she started singing extremely off key.

"Well, I need it quick and I need it now

Before I start to fade away

That's why I'm searchin', that's why I'm lookin'

Each and every day

Ooh, I need some love

I said, I need some love

Ooh yes, I need some love"

"Why...?" Scott asked.

Oh he's slightly clever to just a certain extent

"Why not?" Scarlett said, pulling her knees up to her chest.

"Who's singing off key in here?" Logan asked, sticking his head into the room. "That you Summers?"

"No." Scott said. "It was Scarlett."

"Really?" Logan said surprised. "Because I was certain that it was you. Of course now that I think about it, the person that was singing had a higher pitched voice than your dull boring monotone one."

"Why you-" Scott made to get out of his chair but was stopped by Scarlett.

"What do you want, Logan?" She asked, removing her hand from Scott's arm only when she was sure he wasn't going to punch Logan in the face.

Make us it, make us hip, make a scene

"Well," said Logan fully entering the room. "The Professor wanted me to tell you guys that you'll both be staying here tomorrow."

"What?" Scarlett said. "What's going on with everyone else?"

"There was a trip planned for the students several weeks ago." Logan said. "This one opted to stay behind because of his, ah, problems." He waved his hand towards Scott.

"I've told the Professor that I've changed my mind." Scott growled. "But he won't listen clearly."

"I'm sure Professor Xavier has his reasons." Scarlett said. "I'm sure I'm staying here because he doesn't trust me fully."

"Why wouldn't he trust you?" Logan asked. "Didn't he do his mind reading on you?"

"No." Scarlett said. "He couldn't read my mind. My mind is a safe and completely barred from outside forces."

"So he doesn't trust you because he knows little to nothing about you." Scott said. "And because of that I'm stuck with you for a full 24 hours. Can't you just let him read your mind?"

"Would you like it if someone rummaged through your mind with or without your consent?" Scarlett asked. "Oh wait, that did happen if my memory serves me correctly."

"When did that happen?" Logan asked with mild interest.

"It didn't happen." Scott said.

Or shrug us off your shoulders

"You can run but you can't hide from what you know is true." Scarlett sang.

"Would you be quiet?" Scott asked with annoyance.

"Anyways..." Logan said, bringing Scarlett and Scott's attention back to him. I just wanted to let you guys know what will be happening tomorrow."

"Yeah, thanks. Whatever." Scarlett said dismissing him and what he said. Logan glanced at Scott before leaving the room.

"So what is this trip thingy that the others are doing?" Scarlett asked, turning to Scott.

"It's for training." Scott said.

"Training?" Scarlett said surprised. "Some of the kids are a little young for training."

"Its evacuation training." Scott replied. "In case something bad happens here and they need to get out."

"What bad things could happen!" Scarlett asked.

"The mansion could be attacked by Magneto and his followers, or even huge government." Scott said. "This place has been attacked by the government once before."

"The government?" Scarlett said raising an eyebrow.

"It's a long story." Scott said. "I don't particularly want to talk about it."

"Ok." Scarlett said shrugging.

"You seem quite agreeable to let the matter drop." Scott said suspiciously.

"Why keep asking questions about what happened when I can just find out for myself?" Scarlett asked. "I can just ask one of the others. Now thinking about however, I could just go through your memories. That is if I can access them."

"You have all my memories?" Scott said, rather alarmed.

It's time for us to take a chance

"Don't worry." Scarlett said rolling her eyes. "I can't access them at the moment."

"Good." Scott said. "But I have to ask why you can't access them."

"The Demon is probably keeping them from me to use as leverage." Scarlett said carefully. She didn't need Scott finding out that a large portion of her power was missing. It was bad enough that she had to do all the things that she'd done with magic manually. If the others found out that she didn't have as much power...

"What's it like to have the Demon inside of you?" Scott asked curiously.

Scarlett shrugged. "It's like having someone that you can't get rig of inside your head constantly trying to influence your decisions. You also have a huge a out of power that you should use responsibly."

"Are you saying hat you didn't use the power responsibly?" Scott asked.

"I did some bad things, if you must know." Scarlett said. "And I suppose the bad thing is that I didn't feel bad for doing them. There's pros and cons to having a Demon with you. The pros is the power you get and the Immortality, but the cons are the exact same things."

"You're immortal?" Scott said alarmed.

"To a certain extent." Scarlett said nodding. "If the Demon left my body then I assume that I'd age rapidly before crumbling to dust."

"How old are you really?" Scott asked. "And what bad things have you done in your life?"

Scarlett narrowed her eyes. "Here how it's going to be." She said. "You don't ask questions about my past and I don't ask you about yours."

"But you don't even have to ask me because you have all my memories in your head." Scott argued. "So shouldn't I know some things about you?"

"No." Scarlett said. "I'm done here. I don't know how I'm going to survive the next 24 hours. I'm leaving for now." Getting up, Scarlett left the room leaving Scott alone.
