The morning came slower than expected.

By the time the door to the basement flew open, I was already awake. Savanna comes bounding the stairs.

"So, Scarlet...did you and Soryu make up?" she asks right away.

I grimace, technically we did and we didn't. Am I going to feed her imagination? No not really.

"Are they all gone?"

Savanna nods, "Cleared out last night. Apparently they were looking for you."

"They were? Did they capture anyone?"

She nods again, "Tiger."

My blood pressure just hit the roof, "They what?!"

"They took Tiger."

I tell Savanna to wake Soryu for me, before I leave the basement, ready to kick some ass.

I burst into the dining hall and all eyes turn to me.

"Where is Tiger?!" I demand.

They all give each other a look that says, is she serious?

"Don't you dare make me ask again!"

Destinee, looking smug at my reaction, replies, "No wonder you don't know...You were making out with your boyfriend all during the attack."

I growl, "This is no time to be judging me, you bitch!"

Savanna steps in between us, cutting off whatever retort Destinee was about to say.

"Cut it out, you two! We all need to keep a cool head about this, otherwise Tiger will never be rescued!"

I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, before I spin on my heels and storm out of the room.

Slap!

"Tell us where the Scarlet Assassin is!" a blonde woman with a marred face, yells right after she hits me across the face. Hard enough for me to taste blood.

I spit out the dark red liquid, and turn my face back toward her.

"If I didn't tell you five minutes ago, what makes you think I'll tell you now?" I retort.

She shrieks and kicks me in my stomach, making me hunch over from pain. Yet I wasn't going to give in. Scarlet would do the same thing for me, so I wasn't going to betray her trust in me.

"Are you sure that you won't tell me? You quite possibly might die."

I don't respond for a minute, but I spit out some more blood, and smile,

"There's a reason I'm called Tiger, you know."

My hands, bound behind the chair I was tied to, press the 'siren' gadget.

It begins to activate, and buzzes in my hand, letting em know that someone got my signal.

"I will ask you one more time-"

Before she could finish her sentence, there is an arrow in her shoulder. Red tipped.

"You little bi-" the woman hisses, but once again she is cut off. This time by a deep voice seemingly coming from all around us.

"You want to finish that sentence?"

Then a hooded woman emerges from the shadows, bow drawn, arrow aimed for blondie's heart. Scarlet.

"Apprentice, release Tiger." Scarlet orders Dominic.

"Yes, Mentor." he replies without hesitation.

When he goes to untie me, blondie once again jams her big fat mouth into the situation.

"Don't you dare."

Dominic, as Scarlet has him taught well, "Oh yes, I do dare."
