It was dawn and Scarlet was out early to look for more herbs required for some of her spells, however, she heard something and stopped in her tracks. She saw that is a man who looked around her age from the town. Scarlet tries to back away and run, because she was afraid of the possibility of getting beat again. She saw him coming to her and Scarlet ran. However, the young man did not give up on meeting her and continued to run off. Eventually, Scarlet was cornered since she ran to an area where the rocks blocked the way. Scarlet turned to the stranger in desperation to fight. Yet, the young man walked slowly closer to her and got down on his knees and strokes her cheek to show no harm.

"Who are you?" he asked

"Scarlet." she replied "Now, who are you?"

"I'm called Renook." he told her

"Well, it's nice to meet you." Scarlet said, starting to calm down again

"Why did you run from me though?" Renook asked

"Well, I don't trust most." Scarlet told him "You see, when I was a teenager I used to get beat."

Scarlet then showed him the scar on her leg from the whip. Renook looked at the scar and felt bad for her.

"I'm not going to hurt you." Renook told her

"You don't seem like you would now." Scarlet replied and came a little closer

"That's great to know." Renook responded "Why did a pretty thing like you get beat though?"

"Can you promise not to tell anyone why?" Scarlet asked

"Your secret is safe." Renook told her quietly

"I'm not really human." Scarlet said "I'm a witch."

"A witch?" Renook spoke up "I kind of suspected that. You're a pretty witch though."

"Thank you." Scarlet responded slightly blushing

The two continued to talk and were starting to have feeling for each other. However, Scarlet eventually had to go since she had to still get the herbs for the spell. She did promise Renook though that she would see him again the following night. Scarlet gathered the herbs and was running back home. Her sisters soon noticed her and were happy to see her come back home.

"Look, here comes Scarlet." Mary spoke up

"Look at that!" Sarah added "She's running like the wind!"

"I wonder if something happened out there." Winifred responded "She seems really happy about something."

Scarlet came back to them and was greeted by hugs. However, none of them figured out what got into Scarlet, but decided to leave her alone with it. That following night though, Scarlet ran out again to find her love again.
