Out of the building, Scarlet thought of the places they could go and have a private conversation away from prying eyes.
All she could come up with was the library, castle, the forest or the underworld.
She pulled Lanta's arm roughly and pointed to the ground. "Let's go down."
Lanta shrugged her arm away and shook her head.
"I don't want to."
Scarlet caught her arm once more, gripping it tightly and injecting a dot of the power of her green flame.
With a threat in her voice, she told Lanta, "You should be obedient while I still want to play nice otherwise I will be the one to erase you."
As hard as Lanta tried to rip her arm out of Scarlet's scorching tight grip, she failed.
Lanta was in pain, physical pain. She had no idea what Scarlet was doing to her but she could feel her strength being drained and it caused her to panic.
"What are you doing to me?" She asked.
