SCARLET POV
As Thomas healed the gash on my arm I couldn't help but wonder were the brother I thought he was had went. He used to be so sweet and caring, and now he was this uncaring, heartless person. "What happened to you Tom? Why are you like this now?" he looked me in the eyes with a look of annoyance. "What happened? Oh sis" he said the word 'sis' with so much venom that it caused me to flinch," Camp happened. I spent every night hoping I'd make it through tomorrow. Knowing that if anything even DID happen my own father wouldn't do a god damned thing. Sorry Scarlet but I didn't want to live that life, and luckily for me Demetrius offered a way out of that life. So, excuse for taking the opportunity to live a normal live."
I'm not going to lie to you; the thought of a NORMAL life was extremely alluring. Freedom to simply walk in town, go to school and not worry about monster attacking. But, the thought of having to BETRAY everything I knew, everything I loved, made me sick to my stomach. How could any person do such a horrid thing?

CHRIS' POV

With a cold smile Demetri sled a single celestial bronze dagger across the desk. With a shaking hand I reached for the dagger. Before I could reach the dagger Demetri said, "Good, I knew you would do this Christian. Now go I have an IM to make." With a wry smile I left the office.

I stumbled my way to the prison scarlet was being held in. Thomas and Brian were no longer guarding door. The door was visibly unprotected. With a sigh I slowly opened the door, the element of surprise wasn't on my side because the door creaked like a tortured mouse.

Peering into the room I saw Scarlet sitting in one of the corners of the room. She squinted into the light that was flooding into the room. After seeming to recognize who I was a look of complete and utter hate transformed her features. "What the Hades' are you doing here," she sneered at me. In all the years I've known scarlet she's never looked as fragile and full of hate. "I, um, came to see how you were doing?" it came out as more of a question. She looked as if she were about to say something, but abruptly snapped her mouth closed and tears filled her eyes.

I was about to ask her what was wrong. Then I remembered that I hadn't put the dagger away. Mentally slapping myself I tried to come up with a first-rate lie to explain why I had the damned dagger, but nothing came to mind.

She closed her eyes and muttered something under her breath. A single tear escaped her closed eyes, with a shaky breath she said, "Well, do it then. If you're going to kill me just, please, do it now," I could believe that she had just said that. I strode further into the room and toke a seat next to her. She still wouldn't open her eyes.

"You know I wouldn't do that, "I said, "I'd never be able to kill you. Ever." I set the knife down between her and me. How could I have done this to her? I betrayed her trust, I let her down. Yep, I'm going to the fields of punishment when I die. I had accepted that fact a while ago. A million other things were going through my head. A horrible pain went through my abdomen. Looking down a dagger sprouted from my body, and no one was at my side.

SCARLET POV

I can't believe I just did that, I thought as I ran down a spiraling set of stairs. Now, next order of business, find a way out. After a couple minutes I reached the main entrance. What I saw was disturbing; campers were lying dead on the now crimson colored carpet. The smell was almost just as bad, it reeked of rancid, well, anything. Trying my very best to avoid stepping on any corpse. After some time my sword had finally came back to me. About freaking time! I really no use for it now.

Shaking my head I ran out of the door and into a cool spring morning, and kept running. I really didn't know where I was going. I knew my friends had most likely gone back to camp. Wheezing exhausted, and basically running on fumes I sat on a bench in some secluded part of some park. I had no idea on how I was going to get back to camp; I had only four quarters.

I found one of those old pay phones and placed a call to a dear sister of mine.

*Ringing*

"Hello?" a sleep deprived voice answered.

"Hey Susie. Well, it's me Scarlet just calling and asking if, um… well… can you help me sissy? Please?" I sobbed into the payphone.

"Scar! Thank the gods your ok!" she sounded relived, "I thought you were gone. Where are you?"

After explaining to a very sleep deprived Alec where 'my exact locating' was and agreeing to 'stay put until he got there' I was waited for him for about two to three hours before he got there. A gray cab stopped in front of me in a sickening halt. And, out from the back seat stepped out a very tired Mr. Vosmus.

He looked at me, no analyzing was more like it, before he spoke, and "you look like a mess" was all he said before he crushed me in what I like to call an 'Lifeline hug'. Now Alec isn't much of a hugger, or talker, or socialite but if you know him for a certain length of time he tends to open up a bit to you.

"Kayy, now if you don't mind Alec, this 'mess' wants to get make to camp" He chuckled as I climbed into the cab and he followed suit. I couldn't wait to get back to camp.

So how was it? IM SO SORRY FOR THE LACK OF UPDATEING! review and tell me you thought! Bye
