The light footsteps of Scarlett traced the whole kitchen as she made the food for the night, she had just returned from her mother, today she had recited her the day, as usual, told her how the kids loved the food she made, and also complained how father disapproved of the same food yesterday, even if her mother was in coma, Scarlett never told her about any of the beatings, she didn't wanted the negativity to affect her.

Scarlett took the curry in the spoon as she smelled the spices and some special ingredients, she had learned to add from the cooks of the diner. A shriek came from the living room, Scarlett shook her head softly as a small smile graced her lips. It was Mia' boyfriend, even though the guy gave her creeps, she never discussed about the uncomfortable glances he would give her, but at least he gave many good things, like dreams and imagination to occupy herself.

Scarlett knew how protective Mia was, with Damon. She thought Scarlett would scare her boyfriend off, when it was just the opposite, and as always Scarlett knew better than to meddle with something that isn't her business. She had long ago learned to kill the curiosity. It no longer thrilled her, she no longer felt the child like urges to peek from the door to feed on the curiosity, because last time curiosity had almost killed the cat.

Last time, when Mia had broken the expensive vase, Scarlett had peeked and as she got to know about the vase, she hurried to clean it, while she was cleaning, her father came, Mia blamed Scarlett and accused her of breaking the vase, and as always, she got the beating, and the real person to be blamed for it got away with it easily.

Scarlett felt the heat of the body behind her, as she whirled around clutching her chest so as to ease the thudding heart, she stilled as she saw Damon, Mia' boyfriend too close to her liking, she tried to side step him but before she could escape, he placed his hands on the slab, trapping Scarlett, feeling the courage in the corner of her mind, she gathered as much courage as she can, and softly muttered.

"Excuse me." She tried to again side step him, but bumped into his arms as his hands didn't budge from where they were.

"Scarlett... I love you."

Scarlett' breath hitched as she stilled, Damon was an attractive man, but way out of her league, and she already knew that what came next to this if Mia even saw him this close to her.

"Please. Let me go." Scarlett pleaded as could now hear the loud footsteps of someone coming downstairs, she tried to push him away, but she couldn't even more or less budge him. She could hear her heart in her throat as could now from the archway see Mia searching up for Damon.

Scarlett chaotically pushed at Damon' chest as she tried to push him away. And when the footsteps rested, Scarlett could see the violence and fire burning up inside Mia, she could feel her anger coming off in waves, as Mia screamed high on her voice. Damon scampered backwards with such high noise, which clearly startled him.

"What the fuck are doing with my boyfriend, brutta cagna!" Mia marched up to Scarlett, but before she could bury her claws in her arms, Damon stood in front of her protectively.
