Chapter 3: Secrets Revealed
Rachle, still panting, searched the entire bedroom with no sign of Scarlet. She was tying to figure out where she would have gone when a slight breeze made her shiver. She realized the window was open and had a sudden thought. She rushed over to look out the window. Sure enough outside, under an oak tree was a red-eyed, crying, Scarlet. Rachle, not wanting to waste any time, climbed through the window and walked over to where scarlet was.
"Hey, are you okay?"said Rachle a bit shaken, "I was so worried about you!"
I- I- I'll be alright." Scarlet said trying to stop crying, "It is just so hard to take."
Rachle gave Scarlet a big hug saying that she would always be there for. Scarlet went on to tell Rachle that she had something really important to tell her. Something that would explain a lot of things.
" You know how I made you promise to never tell anyone that I had been talking to my biological family?" Scarlet questioned neverously.
"Yes of course I remember." stated Rachle A bit confused.
Scarlet looked up, "Well I didn't tell you everything about that."
"What do you mean?" Asked Rachle Sitting down so that she was facing Scarlet.
"Well, it turns out that before my adoption... I... was...kinda... kidnapped. I mean I was found obviously." Scarlet wispered so quietly that Rachle barely could hear her.
"Oh, wow. Why didn't you tell me?" Rachle asked taken aback.
"Because, I didn't want to be a downer... And at first, I wasn't..." Scarlet's voice drifted off into the distance.
"You weren't what?" asked Rachle.
"Wasn't sure if I could totally trust you. I'm so sorry!" Scarlet was on the verge of tears again.
Rachle gave her another hug. "It's okay. I understand completely. I'm just glad you decided to tell me this."
They both sat there and talked about how they both should handle this. They finally agreed to keep it to themselves. Now they are as close as two friends could be. They look out for one another everyday and in every way. When Scarlet gets down and out she goes and finds Rachle and they remember that very day. Leaving reality for just a moment to go to a place where everything is perfect and nothing goes wrong. Then when they return to the real world things seem just like that place. Every thing is perfect and it seems like no one could ever hurt them. I believe that both Scarlet and Rachle passed there test with flying colors... I knew they could do it!
