206 Lost In The Dark Woods

Sebastian's POV

Scarlett - or, okay, - Scar, is like no homecoming queen before.

She couldn't make the notion of she doesn't give a shit clearer. She is not up and waving, or sending kisses, or smiling at the crowd crazy for her, she just lies on her throne, leaning lazily on the wagon like a sleepy cat, curls her fingers cutely when she feels like it, with her lips carelessly curved. And when that lights up the crowd, she just lets out a cute laugh, landing her chin on her elbow and sticking her tongue a little, making the people go off crazy.

It makes me crazy for her more, too.

"Why did you choose me?" Waving at the crowd, I ask as casually as I can.

I try to play the king. Well, failing to.

I feel like I don't know her. Not anymore. I just don't know if it was the past five years that changed her into this Harley Queen, or it was the accident five years ago alone.

I feel like from the moment Scar gave Ava the empty smile saying her name was now only Scar, I fell into a dream. A nightmare.

I watched Scar saying the word "blood", scaring the shit out of Ava, before she leaned into the masked man as if for a kiss, only to bite the masked man's throat teasingly.
