Chereads / This Austin / Chapter 3 - Scarlett

Chapter 3 - Scarlett

"I...I had no idea. I thought they all died in the fire."

"Yea, they would've died in the fire, but that is not how fate would have it. You were adimet at making that so, but one did escape and for that I'm thankful."

"Scarlett, I am so sorry. I knoy you'll find this hard in your heart, but that was all in the past. We live in the present right now so I don't ask for much; but could you forgive me? I want to make amends and clear the plate."

"Ammends! The past!! I have to find it in my heart to forgive you? How can I forgive you when you openly killed my whole tribe!!"

"Hey, just so you all know; the doctors here are crap. I asked for a sucker after they were all done and they gave me a freaking lollipop. How can you call this place a hospital when there is no hospitality to be...ohh...ohh!! Hey! That's Scarlett. Get off of her right now."

"You killed my mother and you killed my tribe!! Their cries still resonate in my ears everynight and my mothers blood is still felt when it rolled down my lef. You took her from me even though she was all I had.

Now I'll avenege her and take you from who you love most!"

"Get off her! Get off my mother, you evil creature!!"

"You weak punches deal no damade to my thick hide. Now begone from me, pest!!"

"Nevaeh, you grab one hand and I'll grab the other. On three we'll pull. Ready?"

"Ready!"

"One...two...PULL!!"

"Hold her steady, girls."

"Wait, Austin, don't punch...OOf...her."

"That's for my mother. *SLAP* And that's for me. Toss her out of here and let her think upon her actions. As for us, we should get going. All that ruckus is bound to cause a stutter."

"You can't just leave her here. What if she gets caught?"

"That's not my problem…..and neither is it yours. I said it and I won't unsay it. END OF STORY!! Now follow me. I saw the exit that way."

"Aaagh, a fox!! Run!!!!"

"Wait, guys, I'm actually a…..I don't know. What am I? Who am I? Girls!! Girls!! Where are you? Don't leave me!! I….I...I...I'm sorry."

"Did you hear that?"

"Yeah, it sounded like the wind."

"That's funny because there is no wind under the waters. It must be….the current!! Let's catch it. Hands in everybody. One….two….three….JUMP!!"

"Yahooo! I'm up, I'm up..I'm up!! Josh, is tha you? You gave me the fight. Haven't you ever heard of knocking?"

"Sorry but this is too important and urgent for me to waste my time knocking. Get your stuff on. We're going hunting!!"

" Josh, you know I dont do that anymore. I sold my gear and have stayed far away from touching a gun ever since. Too many bleatings and animals crying later; I just gave up. I don't hunt animals anymore and nothing is going to change that."

"Just put the stuff on and I promise you'll love it. The thing we're hunting…..is no animal!!!!!"

"Is that what people see me as? They see me as nothing more than just an animal! Was not what I did the right response? How would you've acted?"

" Hey, get out of the middle of the walkway. Some people's lives are worth far more saving than yours; and I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if someone accidentally caused him to come to harm."

"Harm! I almost caused that boy harm and the parents would've blamed me when it wasn't even my fault. Something had caused that boy to act out and lay there on that bed, but it wasn't as obvious as me so I was wrongly blamed just because I was present at his death so it must have been me. Sir, wait!! I want to thank you. You've opened my eyes to see the truth."

"Um….thanks. You can let go of my hand now please. I really must get this boy to the emergency room or else he'll bleed out."

"Ohh!! Sorry. Here is your hand back. Is there anything I can do?"

"Actually yes there is. Put your hand right there over the clot and just talk to him. Try to make him comfortable because you may be the last voice he ever hears. All his relatives have passed and he is the last of his family. No one was there to help him when he fell so if we didn't get there when we did then he would've died right then and there. Oh, sorry for my babbling, miss. You wouldn't understand how he feels anyway."

"Actually yes!"

"Yes what?"

"I know exactly how he feels. When my tribe left me and I was all alone; I would've done anything to kill myself and was so close a couple of times, but thankfully I was saved. Josh found me as I was about to stab the final blow and end it all. While blood dripped everywhere; he picked me up, took me to Jims house, and there they revived me back to life. If it wasn't for him coming when he did then I would've been a gonner for sure."

"Sorry. I had no idea. Have you ever tried to find out who was responsible for your tribe's death?"

" Oh yes. I've searched everywhere and thought I found her, but I believe now that I was mistaken in my judgment. I blamed Jade as the killer because at the time of my tribe's death she was the one present. So since she was already labeled as an evil queen….I had just assumed…"

"It had to be her!!"

"Exactly, but I never searched deeper as to what caused the war because whoever that was; they were the true cause of our death. Now I wish I looked deeper instead of just assuming someone on accident."

"Well, now we can find the tru culprit together. Hand me those scissors over there. To find the truth, we have to cut him open. I must ask; do you grow faint at the sight of blood…."

"Scarlett! My name is Scarlett and the answer is no. I've seen too much blood and water mixed that if you gave me a glass of water, put drops of blood in it and called it fruitpunch; I would still drink it and not tell the different for I wouldn't care."

"You have nothing to worry about here, Scarlett, because all our fountains and glasses have crysta clear water in them I can assure you. Tweezers!!"

"Here you are!"

"Thanks. Let's find out what's causing this boy pain. Oomp! I think I got something. Bringing it to the surface now!!"

" What is it? It's so small!"

"I dont know what it is, but it is dangerous. Let's put it in the tray for further examination later."

"Doctor, is that supposed to happen?"

"Oh no!! He's flatlining! His heart is trying to jolt him awake so that is why he's flopping around like a fish. I'll hold him down and you get a tube, some sewing essentials, and a gun."

"A gun! What are you….I said go!! First closest on your right, Scarlett."

"Whoofe! Okay, we got this. There's the tube and there's the sewing essentials, but I don't see the ouch!!Now I see. He meant the anesthesia gun."

"Scarlett, where are you?"

"I'm coming as fast as I can."
