Willow nodded, leading Scarlet towards the rooms with the guard trailing behind them.

"My name is Harper and I used to live here with the princess." Harper said in a shaky voice, trying to ignore the blood that was flowing out of her leg and shoulder.

Chelsea spun around.

Alfred quickly let her in, remembering suddenly. “Right this way, Miss. You’ve just been promoted to Honorary Court Member And Friend If the Princess.”
We need to get you to the infirmary first.”

Scarlet paused. “Won’t I be staying in my old room?”

"N–no. No. I need to see Scarlet first."

"It;s a matter of life or death."

Alfred paused. “Miss…. just a bandage for your shoulder fisrt.” His vice was filled with concern, and he fractured my wondered if she remembered him.

"I don't think so. It was burnt down." Willow cocked her head and nudged Scarlet, "I wonder why."

Cade stood in the middle of the room, feeling very vulnerable. There's too much empty space here and not enough things to hide behind. I don't like it.

Harper recognized the man, but couldn't figure out why. "I need to see Scarlet NOW. Please!" She said, tears coming to her eyes. "My sister is dead and there is a dangerous traitor on the loose."

“… Burnt… down?” A smile spread across her face. “Perfect. I hated it.”

Alfred frowned. “As you wish.”

Harper nodded. "Where is she?"

Alfred quickly led Harper to where Scarlet and Willow were walking.

"Scarlet!" Harper called to her friend.

Scarlet whirled around. “Harper?!” She instantly noticed the wound. “What happened?!?!”

Harper couldn't hold back the tears now. "Aubrey's dead. Mace killed her. And he has access to almost everywhere."

Scarlet choked. “I’m so sorry, Harper. Who’s Mace? And you need medical attention!”

"Mace is the director of the resistance. And he's a traitor." Harper choked out.

Scarlet swore. “Come, we’ll get you to the infirmary and contact the resistance.”

"We can't contact the resistance, there's no telling how deep this goes."

Scarlwt’s head pounded. “We’ll figure something out. Now you need medical attention!”

"Okay okay. If you say so."

Scarlet pulled her friend into the South Wing, calling for a doctor.

“Yes Ms. Scarlet?” A doctor asked.

Cade shrugged to himself and followed the girls, unsure who any of these people were.

“This is Harper. She needs medical attention, stab wound in her shoulder I think.”, she said frantically.

"I got shot in the leg and the stab wound was from a few days ago, but whatever……." Harper managed to say.

“Hello Ms. Harper.” Dr. Sierra said, “I will begin by disinfecting your wound.”

Scarlet stepped back, looking her friend over worriedly. “We-we can have a funeral for Aubrey, if you want.”, she offered softly.

"Who's Aubrey?" Cade asked, finally speaking up.
