by Anna Faith

In the third book of the Series, Scarlet has been rendered hopeless in a coma. Soryu too. Now Alex has to step up and continue her sister's work for however long it takes. With the help of the bidders, including Alex's new crush Baba, she must find a way to battle the forces working against their city. And it's gonna be harder than she thought.

7. Chapter 7

I couldn't believe it...Scarlet...Poisoned? Impossible as it may seem, It has to be true if it is coming from the Queen of the Fyre Assassins. She knows what she is talking about.

I say my goodbyes to Queen Everly, then i quickly close my phone, dropping it into my pocket.

I am like a zombie as I move through the halls, feeling sluggish and out of sync with the world. A terrible feeling for a doctor to have. Much less a person.

I open the sliding door to Scarlet's room and peer at her just lying there on the hospital bed, looking very pale.

"Alexandra?" I hear a voice say from behind me.

I turn around to find Baba standing there, looking at me worriedly.

Not about me, probably about Scarlet...she is his friend after all.

"Baba! What are you-how did you get in here?" I question him.

He steers the topic to Scarlet by ignoring my question. Lovely.

"Is Scarlet going to make it?" he asks.

I look over my shoulder at Scarlet lying there, "I have no clue Baba. We just have to keep hope."

He nods and turns to leave.

"Wait." I say and he freezes before turning back towards me.

"I need to tell the guys something. Can I meet all of you at the penthouse soon?"

I open my laptop, the screen saver of a black rose popping up at once. After typing in my password I click on the video chatting service and instantly I get a request.

Taking a deep breath I accept.

The Bidders come onto the screen after I click.

"Hey Bidders." I greet them.

Eisuke scowls, "How do you know about the auction?"

I laugh softly, "Scarlet, who else?"

Mamoru pipes up, "Figured that she was up to no good."

I shake my head, "Clearly, Mamoru, none of you men get the reason how she is in a coma. Or who she is."

Baba and Ota exchange looks while Mamoru and Eisuke do the same.

"I know how much you all care for her. And you care about Soryu too."

Baba pipes up, "What does Soryu have to do with any of this?"

I smile slightly, "He knows who Scarlet truly is and accepts her. Which I hope all of you can do as well."

"And besides, he loves her." I finish

Ota's turn to speak, "Just get to the point already!"

Fine then I open my mouth and the words tumble out,

"Scarlet is an assassin...And she was poisoned."
