Let the healer examine the goblet for traces of poison.” The king nodded, his expression grave. “Do as the prince says. This matter must be resolved with clarity.” --- IN THE DUNGEONS Scarlet sat in the dimly lit cell, her knees drawn to her chest. Her tears had long dried, replaced by a cold numbness. She replayed the events in her mind, wondering if there had been another way to prevent this disaster.

As her eyes scanned the first line of the letter, the words etched on the page seemed to leap out at her, sending a chill down her spine. “Scarlet, if you’re reading this letter, it means I’m no longer a part of this world because someone has had me silenced for good. I have been murdered, and the people behind my death are people you know very well…”

Scarlett then noticed both her attire and her mother's turned into old grey gowns with white bonnets over their heads. "Where are we?" She asked her mother, a breeze blowing over their gowns. "Home. Pastonville, 1699." _______________________________________________ No one would stand absolutely NO CHANCE in taking on the Crimson Bride. Zayne knew that. An untamed she-beast until one who takes her blood controls her. The power from her reawakening was so immense, that he could still feel it even if he went out of state. The scent from her was incredible, warm caramel invading his nostrils. His taste buds tinkled and his anticipation kept his stomach twisting into knots and twists. He knew wh

Scarlett I was finishing off getting ready for my dinner with PJ. I was dreading it, but I never had a choice. He is not the kind of man you say no to. I was not getting too dressed up, though, because I had work after, and I didn’t want him thinking I was making a special effort for him. I don’t need to add to his delusions. I felt guilty going out with another man when things were going so well between Caleb and me. I need to do everything I can to get through this night.

Scarlet had a sinking feeling that this would be the end of their relationship. The thought saddened Scarlet as she took her seat in the back row, set down her books, and turned and looked out the window. If that was how Maria wanted it, then that was how it would be.

“Okay, you’re done here. Find a place and end your life.” Scarlet waved her hand without further ado. As if he was bewitched, the man took out a piece of rope and chose to hang himself. He was an ordinary person, unable to resist Scarlet’s charm. After everything was done, Scarlet changed into plain clothes and went to the church. Alton should be here any minute. Sure enough, it was not long before she saw Alton. Scarlet followed the previous example and started selling something to attract the other party’s attention. Although Alton was here to pray, it did not stop him from admiring the beauties, who were abundant here.

Mrs Williams asked worriedly. " Nothing Mrs Williams. I want to show you something and please look carefully and tell me". I showed her the scarf which I got from the edge of the bridge.

Yes this is scarlett's scarf and there will be initials at the end of the scarf "SR". It is a gift from Shannon to Scarlett when she left for New york".
