I don't own time pressed all rights belong to sneaky crab.
another Scarlet chapter, but I think that's OK. I said the last few chapters will be focusing on our heroes so we have Riley as well. It's gonna have a chapter all to itself her first and only chapter in this particular book I will get to meet other people from Scarlett's perfect perspective like the stones not so much what Robert says, but at least the stones will get to see her friend Claire and Jason Gwen. I moved them to this quarantine zone just to make it fun so that they'd have at least some friends here. What do you think? All right then I hope you enjoy this chapter episode I'm thinking of my Wings club rewrites. Please go check out my first Wings, club rewrite and the first couple of chapters or a couple of parts up for the Wings Club rewrite season two haven't got the first episode up yet, but I'll be doing that right after the new year, so all right I'm probably gonna have a friend info almost finished before the new year but I hope you enjoy and I will write another book OK see you then.
Scarlett
we woke up the next day. It was a big day for us because we were scouting the zones for the first time and to see who lived here to see if we could make friends especially me. I wouldn't be able to survive in this place without any I mean, I probably could I had my head Luther with me but still, I wanted to make other friends and I also wanted to see if Claire was here so we got up and ate breakfast and went be back soon I called out good I heard mom Helena say the two of you better behave yourselves we will. I heard him call out. He went down the elevator left the living quarters went to the ground floor where the library was and left to explore the town a bit.
he won't over town looking at things other buildings like the automated buildings like the race centers and stuff but also we walked around to the center where the portal was set up and one night they set that up I guess so I said how to do that in one night I don't think so it probably took them time to put that up you know while they were building makes sense but still are you gonna get Tom from the library later? I'm not sure I might.
good cause I might go some reading too later we continue to walk even walk up and down streets to see who live there one house said the Robert is they must have a lot of kids cause their house is bigger. Our house is bigger that's true but still their house is just about the same size no there was a house that said the stones I know these things because he told me we didn't knock on Robert's house, but we did on stones house and Mrs. Stone answered the door hi hey were your neighbors kind of yes of course we saw your family move-in. I mean we moved into, but we watched you move in and Mrs. Stone.
I figure your mother would be the one to come around. She's too busy getting settled. I heard Luther say yes of course Patricia that was her name. We went to knock on the Roberts house but Leanne wasn't home. I just don't think they're friendly. Well, they might be, but they're probably busy just like all of us, trying to get established and settled into our homes, we already did last night before we went to bed kind of and mom is setting things up for us course. I didn't know you had another sibling. I'm not his sibling I said a friend who lives with them. Oh, I'm adopted but I'm Scarlett Agnes so you didn't change your last name no I wasn't interested. Well, I guess that's fine.
are you home? Hungry and both of you hungry for anything we just had breakfast makes sense. Just wondering if I could fix your lunch but if it's too early it is right then.
But we can come in for a bit good excellent we walked into their house. It was like ours all the buildings for mostly similar. I said they didn't have a library at the bottom of theirs and we were having one.
We didn't hang out long though we left soon after we met their children they were about our age closer to Luther's age than mine but I love them, Nadia and Dylan. Come anytime to play her essay we will it be fun to have at least another couple of friends kind of he said, after we left, we walked around and met more people at the town clinic and we went to other places too. We didn't try the robes again we knew they were probably unfriendly so I didn't see but Luther did another house next door to ours and on the other side like the sand between both the stones, it was easy I don't know why we passed it, but the rock with the Robertson was one of our neighbors and the other neighbor he read it this is your friend Claire's house Claire's here not on the door and Claire's mother answered Scarlet come in at night stay out here come on I said dragging him inside I never been around your friend Claire much oh don't worry I'm not gonna bite Claire's mother said.
where is she? She's waiting in the living room for you. She knows she would. You would come and visit Scarlet. I walked into the living room and found Claire a sister her feet she saw me. Arlett ran up and hugged me. I haven't seen you in a while. Why don't you stop by my house first I didn't know you lived next door we didn't even know if you were gonna be here well we didn't know either but I'm glad that you're here and your friend we grew up together. I said we traveled the world together. That sounds nice. I would love to hear all about your travels.
also, I said, I would love to have another slumber party just you and me of course I would love to have another one with you, Scarlet. We have a lot of things to catch up on, and you probably met all kinds of interesting people on your travels not really no no.
But yeah, a lot to have another slumber party for just us girls just the two of us. I saw Luther smile It would be nice just for the two of you to have a slumber party and I can just relax for a bit. Don't worry I'll take care of her Claire I was her best friend before you, but we're all best friends now I just want some girl time I heard her say I said understandable maybe Nadia could come over oh Nadia Stone yeah that would be great said Claire. I'll see if she'll want to come over and it could be three girls instead of just the two of us, have a nice time. The best that we could have here in the quarantine zones across from the street is for you to an alleyway. There's Jason Gwen they live with us now in our quarantine zone too. Maybe I can see if Gwen can come over as well oh goody, I said I would love to see Gwen again, we separated when we left the coast because that was the last place we were living that would be excellent.
then we can do things together as a group, of course, said Claire I would love to do that. I said we can hang out as a foursome threesome or whatever will be a big group our small little band of friends I heard him say.
You should go see them. They're there across the street. Just glad I got to see you. I haven't seen you since we left Ravenswood I know like I said we'll have plenty of time to catch up. We will have time for just the two of us to catch up don't be a stranger we just live next door I know OK I won't be a stranger. You can come over anytime you want, I saw what your brother did she said whispering into my ear. It'll be terrible for him to try to make you live with him. You would do better here with us, and I hugged, and I hugged my friend, Claire, as you said, I won't be a stranger don't be come anytime.
we walked outside and we looked up on the roof of our building. There was someone who flew across and landed on our roof who is that? I don't know what Claire said, but they're standing on your rooftop for some reason. We'll have to check that out in a little bit, let's go see Jason Gwen, right I said as we walked across the street their mother answered the door. Oh, there you are. How are you settling? I heard Luther ask fine said Jason Gwen's mother just OK. I know it's been hard on all of us moving into these new places. I can't believe this is happening I know right I wonder how long it'll take before we'll get our freedom. Don't worry I will win back our freedom somehow, I know you could and I know you can. Why don't you come in we went into the next house and hung out for a bit.
you're probably tired from walking all over town not we do need to go and check out the retro roots. I nodded. Yeah of the oh yes of the soldiers to see when and how at times when they're traveling through our town and patrolling the patrol roots yes course well I'm glad you stopped by for a bit Scarlett you can come and make jewelry with us sometime, especially with Jace. He would love that. I think Jason Gwen would enjoy it. I said also I was wanting to see if you would want to invite Gwen for a sleepover at my friend Claire's house, she's her mother is going to call Patricia and ask if she can have Nadia come over oh sleepover slumber party I should love that sounds great. All right then.
I'll see if she wants to do that I think that would be good great I'll even talk to my mother about it. Well, not my mother I said but mother Helena of course I think it would be great. We better go and check those patrol routes right I said, as we left, see you around bye. bye, I'll see you later. We walked through the quarantine zones and looked at everything even learning the patrol roots of all all of the guards who were betraying our zone.
there are a lot of them on patrol right now, but it was the first thing we ever learned as we traveled through the town together everyone in town knew we were a couple we had to go there soon too he said pulling at the eye portal you only can draw once a year right he knows yeah because I only have I have the next two to spell you can only join. You can only draw once in your lifetime not knowing that I can only draw once, and if something is compensated, I can never have it back again.
we looked at everything as we traveled through the camp through the town. People stared at us, human and nonhuman. They were weirded out that they naturally were living in the zones with them. I mean, mama Helena was living here, and she was well a natural, and some humans were married to naturals who lived here, but, it was weird that we were together.
but in the good type of weird after our patrolling of seeing what was going on around town, we returned to our house, and mother. Helena called us in to come upstairs to the living quarters part of the house because we had a visitor who was sitting on the roof the whole time asking for us it was the young girl we saw are the young girl that Luther saw earlier Chad Brown hair she looked to be about. I don't know 55 or six years old.
she was five when she said so I am Riley princess of Valder. She said why what are you here for? Come to talk to you and also to meet both of you one day I want to help humans it's not fair that my father is treating you all this badly. Also, I want to be friends with both of you, because I think it would be nice to have two other friends I don't have many, how did you get in the quarantine zone? Luther asked I flew over the wall she said because I can.
also, a card was to is coming over to your house to ask you a favor ask me a favor he asked yes I said's sat there quietly for a moment what kind of favor I asked finally speaking up to Miss Princess to Riley Princess Riley wow it's not my favorite my fathers another way to control us. I bet in a way I don't like it but that's what he wants. He wants you to do something for him he can he can give you a way to benefit here in the quarantine zones how mean my father is already the ambassador what other favor would he want to know or ask of me?
he knows you can solidify who I am. I almost forgot that that's what Luther can do. What do you want to do? I ask well it's a win-win scenario here.
He wants you to build and construct rooms. If I really for him he doesn't he didn't say why, but that's what he wants and he wants your father as the ambassador to help with those construction plans. He's already asked father he's already asked your father about it And he's agreed to reconstruct the palace so that he can make real rooms, so what about it since you can do it quicker than most majors can course you'll get benefits he knows that you like barbecue chips and he will reserve them for you at the IR portal.
OK if that's what he wants then I'll do it. He is my enemy so if I can get close to him this way, maybe it'll not she didn't say it all out loud. He told me about it and later sent Riley what I benefited from. I asked not much, just being there for moral support. I can do that good and be our friend. I'm already Luther's friend I said so I can be your friend too Riley.
That sounds good Scarlet we can all three be friends. We're not friends. I heard him say you're Vald, Dorian Riley I don't think we could ever be friends.
Riley started to cry. I heard her sniffling come on I said, don't be so rude. Riley seems nice.
But she's a Dorian doesn't matter. I said, as I took Riley's hand thanks, Scarlet she said you assure me, I assure you said Riley that I would not. I am not working for my father or my evil brother I never thought that maybe I did a little of Dorian you should be I have no interest, I was the one in the crowd of Vorias. It was sad you would have to be locked up in here forever you and the other humans deserve their freedom not this I'll do whatever I can to get you guys free.
and what if you fail then I fail Riley said I've already caused enough trouble being here. I'll come back and we'll play another day. Send Riley sounds good. I guess we could be friends Riley if Scarlett thinks you're good then I agree with her.
Besides, I hate the prince much more is any of you Riley said again he's too evil for his good he tortures me all the time, but I'll tell you about that later I hugged Riley, understanding her pain of soul, even though, so never he did when I was little, but not since The three of us made a pet that we would be together as a threesome forever or as long as we're in these quarantine zones I think forever is better, and I won't interfere with your relationship, said Riley that I promise as a princess, I made that promise.
and I promise to be fair to you, Riley, he said, I promise, and I promise is a promise that I tend to keep I don't like breaking them. Do you live here Riley I asked are you coming to my slumber party I'll try she said I'll try to sneak out so I can be at it but it'll be very difficult but I'll try my best.
I'll come back and we'll have Vinny ventures together said Riley sounds good I guess yeah sounds great. I said it's good to have a friend outside the wall.
And I guess if you hate souls like us, then you're welcome in our group so tortures me, so yes, I would love to be in your group. Riley said as she left she flew up and flew over the quarantine zone wall.
Let's go back inside we've done everything we could out here today. Yes the two of us walked back inside the building and went up to living quarters. Did you have a good day? I heard Mama Helena call we did I said well I have some news that the king wants your services Son Riley already told me, oh Riley, the princess Look or not he knotted and looked at his mother. Yes, she already told me we met just a little while ago and she told me that he wants my service to build I really in bricks for his palace and to make aura containers which I've been wanting to do anyway, because of the pocket watch and the time manipulator as the first time I heard him say those words I shared at the thought. Well, then my dream is to be a time age and the master of time one day then we change our names to fit that to Helena, mama Helena said that she looked at us except for Scarlet. The rest of us will change our names.
well, change our last name to Timecrest it'll fit your dreams son especially since you already had the pocket watch in your possession. Do you know where it came from? No, but I've opened it I think I have yeah when I was up on the roof it was blue briefly.
It was a new experience, but yet I remember it. I say noon remembered at the same time.
That's great send Mama Helena why don't we get washed up for dinner and that's what we did. We washed up for dinner and went to eat. It was almost time for bed.
what are we gonna do tomorrow? I heard him ask me I don't know yet. I said we'll figure it out. Maybe we could go read some of the poems in the library all right then that sounds like fun.
After dinner, we went to bed took a bath, and then went to bed. I know you're getting too big for me to tuck you in now I laughed. I don't mind Scarlet. I don't care that you keep taking care of me. Yes, but you're getting too old I laughed. You're gonna be a teenager in a few years And you baby me I do but I love it I don't want to stop but eventually I will have to when you get 13 you'll be too big and I'll be 17 it will not look good that's not for another two or three years two years you're nine you're getting there 23 years and you're getting more and more beautiful stop now you make me blush that's indeed why I also think it'll be inappropriate. I'm developing a crush on you Scarlet.
maybe you'll see it too. Someday I hug him maybe until you're at least 10 which is next year then I'll let you take yourself into a good bed I don't need to carry you. You're too heavy. I can walk up the stairs myself I know.
But you'll always be that baby to me all the time and I know you won't stay that way forever. We chatted as we went up the stairs and went to our separate rooms to sleep. I talked to him like always, and then I went to my room and went to bed.
I am the chapter here I was like ending it when they go to bed because I think it's the best-ending part of each chapter unless it's a cliffhanger somewhere but no cliffhangers I try not to make too many in this story, but I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy this one and the next chapters 2 this book is almost coming to an end and I have more planned for this little series. I just couldn't do it in one book that's why it has to be a two-book partner, all right then see you then.
see you next time
