*GASP* I'm back! Why was I gone for so long? I may or may not have gotten trapped doing HOMEWORK! Five advanced classes with a lot of homework take a lot out of you...meh, I had some time. Guess what? It's my birthday! I'm fourteen now! Yay!

Thanks for all the support altogether on this series! It's amazing! Again, I know I say this a lot, but it does honestly feel like you all love this way of writing, even with all its flops here and there. I dunno, I guess, it's just...really amazing, thanks...all of you.

Point of view for this chapter is Kinkajou.

I don't own it! I seriously don't have any right to this series!

"WHAT?" Kinkajou shrieked, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU SAW SCARLET?"

Kinkajou was pacing around her dormitory, alone, on the phone with Umber.

"I don't know...I saw her outside the window yesterday. I was falling asleep, though, I can be sure of what I saw…" Umber said with uncertainty.

"Umber, why didn't you tell anyone else?"

"I did. At different times. I let Turtle, Ash, and Moon know immediately, as they were in the car with me. You're the first person I've called, and I'm going to let everyone else know as well."

"Okay then, good, and good idea, we might have panicked if we all knew at once. I need to thin, bye Umber."

Kinkajou hung up, then collapsed on her bed, wanting to vomit. Why did this happen? Why was Scarlet back?

Would they all be safe?

This was bad, really bad, she needed to go somewhere and think. So, she went to her spot.

Her spot wasn't anywhere normal, or even in that zone. Her spot was on the inaccessible roof of their dormitory building.

She climbed up there out of her window and sat on the edge. She wasn't new to this, she was always on high, hard to reach areas, places that no sane person would go.

She just sat up there, thinking.

"Why did this happen?"

She had to think, how in the world could Scarlet have survived that cave in? What about the others? Chameleon, Morrowseer, and Orca would probably be huge problems, unless they figured out something to stop them.

Well, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, no doubt this would be even harder than last time, maybe they could win without any lasting effects.

Kinkajou whipped out her phone, getting an idea. She set up a group chat with all of her friends, Ash and Frostbite included, and sent this text.

"I don't know if you all know yet, but Scarlet's back. We can't wait for her to strike, this time, let's bring the fight to her."

She felt satisfied, and climbed back into her dorm, Moon and Carnelian still weren't back yet. She didn't blame them, it was the weekend and they had just finished a bunch of tests, so she went to sleep.

It didn't come that easy, it was filled with nightmares.

She woke up the next morning, and Moon and Carnelian were there, sleeping. She checked her phone, but it was dead, so much for that. She put her phone on charge and headed out to the cafeteria, she needed to take her mind off of this. Stress was not something she was fond of.

She found Ash there eating a cookie, and Qibli sitting next to him, on his computer.

"Hey guys! What's up?" Kinkajou called.

Qibli looked up with a serious look on his face. Ash just stayed there, looking sort of crestfallen.

"We both got you text…" Qibli said when she got there, "Are you sure? How would we even find her?"

It was good to see that he wasn't disagreeing at least.

"Um, so, Scarlet, how bad is she?" Ash asked, scared for the answer.

"She's the one who tortured and almost killed Winter and Moon. She almost killed all of us for that matter." Kinkajou replied, shuddering.

"On a side note, it's Ash's birthday." Qibli said matter of factly.

"Wait, seriously? Oh geez, I'm sorry this had to happen today, Ash."

"It's okay, ignore it, we can talk when this is done. What do we do about her?"

"We find out where she is, then attack, metaphorically, I mean, we call the cops."

"Okay." Ash and Qibli said in unison.

"I can hack into phones to find out where she is, do you know her phone number?" Ash asked.

"No? What kind of question is tha-" Kinkajou paused getting an idea.

"Umm...sorry?" Ash said confusedly.

"Chameleon…" Kinkajou said, still wondering why she didn't think of this.

"Chameleon?" Qibli asked.

"Yeah, that guy, I know him, and I STILL KNOW HIS PHONE NUMBER, he also never changes it, I called him a couple days before the whole Scarlet incident, and he was still there." Kinkajou exclaimed.

"Got it." said Ash, he got out his computer and got to work after Kinkajou gave it to him.

"You found it?" Qibli asked after his computer made a beeping sound.

"Yeah." Ash said, "but we should wait for everyone else first, us three can't do this alone, and we need to be sure that everyone knows about this."

"Good idea." Kinkajou said.

"Well, I'm heading back to bed, I'm tired." Qibli said, grabbing his stuff.

"Yeah, me too." Ash said.

"Sounds great." Kinkajou replied, feeling sluggish from the lack of sleep.

She went back to her dorm, seeing the others still sleeping. She didn't wake them up, they were probably tired as well. Collapsing onto her bed, she went to sleep, knowing that soon, something big was going down.

Hey! Sorry for the extremely short chapter, I'll make another one as soon as I can. I've been pummeled with schoolwork, and have had these group projects where surprise! My partners don't do anything. This was an interlude chapter, and next chapter is gonna be in the perspective of Frostbite, and I don't think that ANY of you know what's coming. See you soon.
