***ALEX'S POV***
"Mom, can I talk to you? Alone please." I needed to stress that last part or she would tell me to talk right here, in front of the others. I didn't want them to know that Scarlet wasn't human. That Redley wasn't human. They didn't deserve that. They didn't need to be scared by that.
"S..sure, Scarlet. Let's talk in the other room." She didn't know what to think, but she still took my hand and pulled me to my feet. "Come on."
Poppy led me to the pantry that was on the other side of the kitchen. It wasn't too small, nor was it huge. What it was though, was private. We could shut the door and make it so that the others didn't hear us. And there were shelves in here that Poppy could sit on if she needed to. She was about to learn some hard truths about her family, and I didn't know how she was going to take it.
