Alexandra Knight
After the next day's shift I am already bouncing off my my rocker, I am so since Everly called me again and told me of an antidote to Scarlet's poisoning.
I make my way up to the Penthouse of Tres Spades and find all the bidders, minus Soryu, sitting there watching the Auction on the gigantic tv.
"Hey guys! What's up?" They ignore me and continue watching the TV screen. Clearly they are still hurt over the fact that Scarlet, someone they trusted, lied to them about who she is.
I wave my hand in front of Mamo's face and he returns the gesture by flipping me off.
"Clearly you guys don't care anymore about Scarlet...or Soryu..."
That sure got their attention.
"What do you mean?" Eisuke asks me glaring.
I cross my arms over my chest, and scoff, "Soryu and Scarlet are a couple and they love each other. So clearly you are going to have to accept the fact that she is an Assassin for your friendship with Soryu to remain intact."
My phone beeps at me and I groan loudly before reading the alert.
It's time to play.
"Dammit." I say before putting my phone back into my pocket and looking at the bidders.
"I'll see you all later, you know my number if you need me."

Two hours later...
I fix up my hair underneath my long red wig. The wig is the same color as Scarlet's own hair, and it always feels like she is close to me when I wear it.
Straightening my mask I pull on Scarlet's trench coat. Tonight I am going to a masquerade party and I was going as my dear sister. Although not many knew my sister's name, they know what she looks like and they fear her.
Flicking up the hood I make sure that my voice modifier is ready to be used and my quiver of arrows are strapped to my back with the fastener across my chest.
I pick up Scarlet's bow and taking one last look in the mirror I smile and leave, ready to kick some ass.

At the mansion entrance, I pull up on my motorcycle and nod at the guard on duty. It's Drake from the Fyre.
Walking in without anyone stopping me I press a button on Scarlet's bow and it retracts into a long capsule about the length of from the tips of my fingers to my elbow.
Sticking it into my boot, I continue to make my way through the mansion as if I was a guest. I get horrified looks from the real guests and I smirk. Is this how Scarlet feels when she is out like this? If it is, I wouldn't blame her. It feels wicked.
I slip quickly into the hallways leading toward the office of the rich bastard that owns this place.
I take a deep breath and press a button on my phone that I had conveniently shoved into Scarlet's trench coat, and the lights go out...not completely, just enough to make an eerie atmosphere for me to enter.
Placing the phone on a timer for the lights to return to normal, I take out Scarlet's compressed bow and unretract it.
Pressing my booted foot against the door, it swings open without a sound.
Taking an arrow out of my quiver, I fit it to the bowstring and cautiously enter with my weapon up and ready to be fired.
I spot someone in the corner and when I blink someone is lunging at me.
But when they see me, like really see me they stop.
"Scarlet?"

A/N: So sorry that I just NOW updated this book, but It's been hectic where I am at. I moved to New York for a while to be near my best friend and she died in a car accident a week ago. I literally cried for three whole days, before I ran out of tears. And do you want to know something awesome about my friend? She was the inspiration for Scarlet as she had red Hair and believe it or not, her name was Scarlet. I was inspired again to write this story as a promise to her. Something else that's awesome? She actually created Alexandra after HER twin sister who was actually also named Alexandra. Yeah. I miss her so much. Well I will see you all later and again I am very sorry for not updating in what feels like years.
-Athena Constance.
R.I.P. -Scarlet Blake.
"May we honor her in our words."
