Scarlet let out a breath as Messer moved on. Looking over at Jared, she did not approve. There was something about him that irked her. Watching the conflict between him and Yin, Scarlet made a mental note to herself.

''If these two start something, I think I'll go for Jared. He just doesn't seem right to me.''

She was going to sit back and wait it out, but Xen's words caught her.

"you've got a hole the size of your fist in your chest"

The memory hit her hard. Defending her home from the intruder, knocking his aim aside. Then her mother receiving the bullet. Scarlet's body went cold. As the memory ended, an intense flare of pain errupted in her neck. Her hand shot to her neck, feeling for the wound. As she realised where she was, her heart rate began to slow but her blood still felt like ice.

''Shit. Why did that have to happen now? They won't trust me because of it. I'm a liability.''

She slowly glaced around the room, trying to see who had noticed.
