Chapter Seventeen
"Who's that?" Camilla asked to no one in particular. She stared at the asian boy standing before them. His almost silver hair complemented his black outfit coupled with his silver sword he was looking as if he was straight out of a comic book.
"My brother" Scarlett whispered before realizing what she just said, "Oppa!" She yelled while the silver haired boy slashed another guard. He turned to his sister and smiled at her.
"Dangsin salamdeul halkkayo tteonada jigeum!" He yelled and Scarlett nodded hurriedly.
"What did he say?" Jordan asked watching him slay the guards with ease.
"He said we should go, go, go" she said running off while the others followed suit.
"Why didn't you tell me you had a brother?!" Camilla asked trying to catch her breath. She may have been transformed to a werewolf but her lazy self was still there.
"You never asked!" Scarlett yelled taking her hand. Camilla did the same to Jordan and they all held hands and apparated.
They all stood in uncle Russell's living room wordlessly with Sean and Micheal barely standing. V looked around and almost choked on air when she saw that she was no longer in the forest but in a strange living room.
"What just happened?" She asked slowly and Scarlett widened her eyes in realisation. V pointed at her and slowly walked towards her. "You.. are a witch.." she slowly stated. Her brother rushed to her and blocked her view of Scarlett.
"Desperate times calls for desperate measures. She helped us find you sis" he said holding her back.
"But she.. why didn't you tell me?" She asked him and he raised his two hands up.
"Found out today" he replied and she turned to Sean who looked away.
"You knew all along and you still dated her" she said looking at Sean and he opened his mouth to talk but she cut him off, "Then she obviously knows what our family does." She added.
Jordan looked at his wrist watch and at Camilla before leaning close to her, "I need to help Mark with something. Should I drop you off?" He asked and she glanced at Scarlett before nodding.
"I should check-up on the clone" she said and slowly tucked the house key into Sean's hand. He turned to her and she waved at him before leaving with Jordan.
"V, you need to calm down. She risked her safety and revealed her identity just to save you." Micheal said to V. Scarlett stood nervously in front of them. She was ready to leave if it went sideways but part of her was hoping V accepts her and doesn't tell on her or even worse tries to kill her.
"What if dad finds out?" V asked and Sean took quick strides towards Scarlett.
"He doesn't have to find out. Heck no one else has to find out apart from us." Sean said looking at his cousin dead in the eye. V looked at her cousin then at Scarlett who had a nervous look on her face before sighing.
"This is just too much. I need to rest" she said taking one last glance at Scarlett before realizing something, "So she probably helped you break your dad's curse right?" She asked and Sean nodded.
"We need to tell Dad and uncle Frank about what happened." Micheal said and Scarlett looked at him alarmed , "not about you, definitely not about you".
"You're right" Sean said. Micheal took his keys from the table and looked around before noticing that both Camilla and Jordan were no longer there. He sighed sadly before walking out of the house.
"I'll drop you off" Sean said to Scarlett who sighed in relief and nodded.

Scarlett hung her jacket on the coat hanger and wore her black slippers. She dragged herself to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water. She heard footsteps behind her and turned sharply.
"Calm your horses" her brother said. He was now putting on a more comfortable outfit and he had a handkerchief tied around his head. "And i'm ok, thanks for asking" he added sarcarstically. Scarlett laughed at his familiar antics before hugging him.
"I knew you'd be fine" she mumbled and he ruffled her hair. She looked up at him in confusion, "how did you know I was there?" She asked and he shrugged.
"I decided to take the shorter route home when I saw a bunch of teens run into the forest and a bunch of men chasing them. My humanitarian instincts kicked in and I followed them only to realize my own yeodongsaeng was there." He explained before taking the glass of water Scarlett poured for herself.
"I'll tell you what happened later" she said.
"You better" he replied sitting on the counter.
"I thought you'd come back during Christmas" Scarlett said and her brother shrugged.
"The school let us go home for a couple of weeks or less but I will go back in no time" he replied and she nodded in understanding. "So where does the boy who broke your heart live? He's the main reason I came back." He added.
"Min ho!" Scarlett exclaimed in shock, "You are not serious, right?" She added.
"I'm as serious as Ashley when she decides to flirt." Min ho stated and Scarlett widened her eyes. One, because she knew her brother was dead serious and two, because Ashley is the one girl that ultimately bats her lashes at any guy around her age.

The sheriff set his eyes on his daughter as she walked through the front door and he sighed in relief. He embraced her and Frank did the same. The mayor sat there in the living room with a smile on his face while watching them.
"What happened? Where were you? Who abducted you? What-" the sheriff started but V just gave her dad a small smile.
"I'm fine dad." She said and her father smiled. " Micheal and Sean found me before anything could happen" she added.
"Long story" Micheal added immediately before anyone could ask them anything.
"I was abducted by witches, dad" she said and the mayor balled his fist in anger.
"Not just witches but blood mages." Micheal added immediately and they looked at him in confusion.
"The most important thing is that we found out that those mages has an insider." Sean said, "One of the members of the founding families is working with them".
