Scarlet's POV
*Morning*
I wake up and get out of bed quietly. I run to the bathroom with my clothes. I turn on the water and step into the tub. My muscles relax instantly. I relax until I hear the door open. My head snaps in the direction to see Joshua. "There you are." He walks over to the tub and smirks.
I instantly remember a song.
Remember when we swam in the ocean?
Now we know what's deep inside
Remember when we ran in the open?
Now we know what's in the wild
Used to think that this love was heaven sent
How did we get lost?
Can't get back again
Tell me, is there light on the outside?
So are we leaving this Garden of Eden?
Are we leaving this Garden of Eden?
Used to walk around your apartment
Nothing but a smile on me
But tonight, I'm so self-conscious
Isn't it so clear to see?
Nothing's ever perfect in paradise
Don't know what it's worth till you pay the price
When you bite your tongue, does it draw blood?
So are we leaving this Garden of Eden?
Are we leaving this Garden of Eden?
Now I know what I know
But it's hard to find the meaning
Where do we go?
'Cause we don't believe in this Garden of Eden
(Eden, Eden, Eden)
This Garden of Eden
(Eden, Eden, Eden)
I have cried for you, and I'll ride for you
I would die for you, would you do that for me?
Tell the truth, what you wanna do
Is it me and you?
Are you with me, honey?
I have cried for you, and I'll ride for you
I would die for you, would you do that for me?
Tell the truth, what you wanna do
Is it me and you?
Are you with me?
So are we leaving this Garden of Eden?
Are we leaving this Garden of Eden?
Now I know what I know
But it's hard to find the meaning
Where do we go?
'Cause we don't believe in this garden of Eden
(Eden, Eden, Eden)
This Garden of Eden
(Eden, Eden, Eden)
Remember when we swam in the ocean?
Now we know what's deep inside
Remember when we ran in the open?
So are we leaving?
(Are we leaving this Garden of Eden?)
Are we leaving?
(Are we leaving this Garden of Eden?)
Now I know what I know
But it's hard to find the meaning
Where do we go?
'Cause we don't believe in this Garden of Eden
(Eden, Eden, Eden)
This Garden of Eden
(Eden, Eden, Eden)
I sigh. "What?" He keeps staring at me "I'm so lucky I got you as my wife." "Joshua I don't like you," I admit. He sighs "Do you want your family to perish?" I shake my head. He smirks "Good." I growl at him "You can't do this!" He smirks "Are you a wolf or an icerina princess or both?" I raise my head and look him in the eyes. He looks at me with shock. "B-both," I smile.
A voice in my mind speaks
'Hello again' my wolf Melissa yips in my head.
'Hey, Mel how's it?'
'It's been sad.' Melissa whines.
'I'm sorry.'
After we stop talking I shift into my wolf.
*Scarlet's wolf form*
I open my eyes to see white paws. I look in the mirror and I see a pure white with white eyes. I hear a squeal. I turn my head to see my mom. She envelopes me in a hug. I whimper she releases and starts smoothing my fur. I howl. She jumps. "JAKE!" My father comes in to see me. I pounce on him and sit on his chest only to be removed by Joshua. "Mine." I whimper and shift back to human.
When my father and mother leave the room I'm left with Joshua. Joshua shifts into a beige-colored wolf and sets his head in my lap. I start stroking his fur and singing.
"HomeA place where I can goTo take this off my shouldersSomeone take me homeHomeA place where I can goTo take this off my shouldersSomeone take me home (let's go)(Someone take me)Look, I didn't power through the struggle just to let a little troubleKnock me out of my position, and interrupt the visionAfter everything I witnessed, after all of these decisionsAll these miles, feet, inches

Joshua shifts back and leaves his head in my lap until dinner.
*Supper time*
As we all sat down My father was the first to talk I notice. My father said "My daughter joins us today and I like to share something-" My mother touches his arms. He sighs and whispers something to her. She nods. "I like to share something about where I came from before I became king. I originally came from a universe where we have different names and there are only humans and it's safer there. That's where I met my queen and where my daughter came after all these years. I hold my congrats to you, my daughter." I smile.
