Alexandra Knight

I love acting like my sister, but as some old dude once said, 'All good things must come to an end'. And he is right and besides...There is a reason Scarlet had to keep me away from all of this. She wants to protect me and keep me safe, since we are all that each other has.

Our parents were great and their death caused both of us to grow up quickly. Scarlet more so than ever, however their death haunts her dreams and keeps her from what she truly wants. Love.

Scarlet is scared to love anyone, for the fear of losing them too. So you can imagine my surprise when she told me about Soryu.

Anyways Baba and I run to the front of the mansion and Drive away on my motorcycle.

Weaving expertly through the cars on the road and getting a few honks from the drivers. Baba is holding onto me tightly, with his arms wrapped around my waist, my heart races. Just not with adrenaline. Odd.

Pulling up in front of the hospital, I shut off my bike and climb off taking up Scarlet's bow.

"Follow me." I simply say to Baba, still confused on what I am feeling.

I lead him through the employee entrance up through the hallways where we receive many stares from the nurses, but they don't stop us.

"Why aren't they doing anything to stop us?"

I scoff, "Would you want to mess with me looking like this?"

He chuckles, "True."

I lead him to Scarlet's room and open the door.

Scarlet looks pale and has lost weight since she was awake. You can actually see her ribs.

I shake my head at the sight and step around the bed to her side. I set her bow on her legs and take out the antidote. From what I was told, it's fast acting and will completely eradicate the poison in her veins.

I pull out a syringe from my pocket as well and fill it with the contents of the bottle.

I take a deep breath and inject my sister with it.

She doesn't respond and I call out to her softly, "Scarlet..."

Before my eyes Scarlet jumps awake sitting up gasping for air making me jump at least six feet in the air.

She looks around the room and finally her eyes land on me.

"Did I die?"

I laugh shaking my head and pull down the hood lifting my mask enough so that she can see my face which is an exact replica of her own.

"Alex? Why are you in my clothes?" She asks tiredly.

I hold up the antidote bottle and reply simply, "'Cause I had to go fetch this."

She takes the bottle and asks, "I was poisoned wasn't I?"

I nod and she sighs.

She rips the IV from her arm making me wince, while Scarlet doesn't even flinch.

When she goes to move her feet off the bed, she finally notices her bow resting on her legs.

"You've been using my bow?"

I chuckle, "Well why not? You're weapons are freaking cool!"

She laughs, a welcome release from the dark mood hanging in the air.

She turns toward Baba, "So I assume you've been hitting on Alex here?"

He looks hesitant to answer, but does anyways. "Not at all. Been a perfect gentleman."

Scarlet raises an eyebrow, "Has Soryu been keeping you in line?"

Both Baba and I frown. Well his deepens mine appears.

"What's wrong?" Scarlet asks noticing the change in our moods.

Baba and I share a look and Scarlet catches it.

"Where's Soryu? Is he alright?"

I shake my head, "Soryu is..." Scarlet cuts me off.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?!"

I flinch, Scarlet has never yelled at me before.

"He was hit by a car, Scarlet."

Scarlet looks as if she about to cry when she responds, "So he's...dead?" Her voice cracks over the last word.

I shake my head, "Coma."

She breathes out a sigh of relief.

Just then my phone rings.

Flipping open the cover I press it to my ear and say, "Hello?"

'Three by two, they shall fall. Divided by dishonesty.'

"Who is this?"

'Only two sisters can save the day. One of the sun. One of the Moon.'

"WHO IS THIS?!"

'Always separated but never apart. United they stand.'

I remain quiet and listen to the rest my attention caught.

'Until the end.'

'Be careful of the shadows lurking around dark corners, Alexandra. You never know when one will come into the light.'

Then silence...
