It kept going through her mind. What exactly had happened, Scarlet still couldn't work out, but bits were still there.
"What are you doing? Get off her dad."
His father, my father, how is it even possible, Thorn is two weeks younger than me.
The same thoughts kept going through Scarlet's mind. There was only one thing she could do. Ask her mother.
Ten minutes later Scarlet was standing outside her mother's bedroom door.
Knock, knock.
"Come in", Amy's voice was happy, and Scarlet entered to see her mother preparing for the meeting she was attending that evening.
Scarlet took a deep breath. "Mother I want the truth. You've always told me that my father abandoned us, because he wasn't ready to commit. That's a lie and we both know it. Tell me the truth. The whole truth." Scarlet tried to make her voice sound empty, but rushing over her words spoilt this effect.
Amy looked stunned "Why do you think I've lied to you?"
"I've met his son." Scarlet retorted getting angry now. She didn't want any more of her mother's stalling.
Amy could see this on her daughter's face. "You're right. I should have told you the whole story. You see when I was young I fell in love with your father, but he just kept pushing me away. One magical night he finally gave, and he was mine, but afterwards he pushed me further away, and acted like nothing had happened. About a week later I found out he had proposed to a cat named Blaze. His wife, and the mother of the son you've met. After their wedding Sonic got fed up of me, and told me to get lost, that I wasn't wanted, and then that you probably weren't even his." Amy was ashamed. She'd hoped that her daughter would never know the truth, and even now she had left out the bit about ruining Sonic's wedding, and the drama that followed it.
Scarlet didn't know what to say. She had expected something bad, but how could her father say that to her mother, especially while she was pregnant with his daughter. Or was she?
Amy saw the look on her daughter's face. "Yes, you are his. Sonic was the only man for me. I never would have cheated on him."
Scarlet didn't see how her mother could cheat on him, when they weren't a couple, but she did know that she now had an enemy, and Scarlet would dedicate her life to teaching him a lesson.
No one treats me and my mother like that. Not now, not ever.
