Hey guys. Just realized how short my chapters are. Don't worry, they get longer as we go along and I'm planning on making a second FanFiction about what happens afterwards. Can't wait, as Scarlet plays a few big roles in both stories, and she is my favorite character, after all. And speaking of Scarlet...
Scarlet felt as if she was dreaming. Winter, the crazy Lunar princess, had gotten ahold of Cinder and they had a plan to break her out. It was one of the most stupid plans she'd ever heard, involving a personal ball Winter planned, but Scarlet tried not to worry. The plan involved her getting pampered, and what girl would turn that down? Besides Cinder. Scarlet decided to worry about the part of the plan that gave her a queasy feeling as one of Winter's maids washed the dirt out of her red curls. The only way she could even dream of getting out of there was to sing.
Scarlet hadn't sang for anyone in years. It wasn't that she couldn't sing. She was a quite good, really. Scarlet just didn't like getting judged. And, now that singing was the only way back to Wolf, she guessed she would just have to grit her teeth and do it. Although, was it even possible to sing and grit your teeth at the same time?
"Scarlet? Do we need to go over the plan one more time?" Winter walked over as the maid finished up and left. "If not, we can go pick out our ball gowns."
Scarlet shook out her hair in a dog-like way. "I sing, I dance, I sneak out, right?" Scarlet winced slightly as she spoke. She'd been talking to the wolf in the opposite cage in French out of boredom and now she had a bit of an accent.
"In a nutshell. Now, I decided on yellow for myself. Which do you like better, green or silver?" Winter held up three ball gowns, all beautiful.
"Silver, I guess" Scarlet sighed. Winter's ball couldn't be over soon enough.
Sorry how late this is coming out. I was working today with my Papí and then we all went out for a while. I'll try to upload the next chapter soon, in which we find out Wolf's part in all this and how he feels about it on their voyage to Luna. Stay tuned!
