Chapter 8

Munder's POV

Jack tests this theory out by looking at my arms and is pissed to find my mark is gone and he can't put it back on. Dodge decides to make a move then. He runs up to Scarlett and starts to beg her for forgiveness. Jack turns around and is shocked and pissed that he is about to lose another of his men to Scarlett. Jack jumps and starts to go up to Dodge but Scarlett grabs Dodge and pulls him close to her before she kisses him.

"I love you" I can hear Dodge mutter out through their kiss.

Yes I admit seeing her kiss another guy does make me jealous...a lot. I knew that Dodge wanted to be saved though. He could still go back and be with the woman he truly loved. Dodge pulls away and yells out in pain as he looks down to his arm. Scarlett smiles when she sees his mark is gone now as well.

"I'm saved, it really worked?" Dodge asks looking at Scarlett.

"Yes you are saved, this is your second chance at life." The now very blue eyes Scarlett tells him.

"Damn you! I needed both of them." Jack yells at her.

Scarlett looks over and glares and Jack and I swear I saw him flinch for a second. She jumps down and walks right up to him. Scarlett puts her hand on Jack's cheek and looks deep into his eyes.

"You are nothing but a fool, there is no way I will let you take these souls even if you try and kill me it won't work." Scarlett tells him as she leans into his ear. "I have been around every time you have tried this, I am much older than you think and I know that down somewhere in that cold black heart this body affects you for this is the form of your first love."

Jack backs up for a moment and looks her up and down in confusion. I don't know what she said to him but it clearly has shaken him.

"Do not try to deny it, she loved another so you're sold your soul to kill her fiancée thinking she would come running to you. It never happens that way though, she took her own life right before your eyes. Little did you know that once you sold your soul you would be collecting souls for the rest of eternity?" Scarlett says as she walks up to him again. "She did love you, it was a forced marriage. If she didn't marry him then her family would have either killed her or disowned her."

As Dodge and I listen to Jack's past we kind of get why he is the way he is now. Dodge comes up to my side and we look at our now clean arms.

"This can't be, she's dead you just said so yourself." Jack says.

"Ever heard of reincarnation? After all this was the only way to save you. What's coming is one hell of a storm Jack. You have to play both sides. Even if it means hurting her. Now you have a new mission and a new prize." Scarlett tells him as once again she falls into his arms.

"She has a habit of falling onto him." Dodge says with a small laugh.

Jack holds her as Scarlett looks up and I can see her eyes are back to green. Oh thank god she is back to normal now.

"Jack? Where are we?" she asks him looking around the room.

"The theater, had to get you away from Victoria." Jack answers her helping her to her feet.

"Uh I swear I wish I could just kill that bitch." Scarlett says with a sigh as she holds one side of her head.

"I think we figured what you are Scarlett." Dodge pipes up but I nudge him making him shut up.

"Really? What am I then?" she asks looking between the two of us.

"There is another side of you that is a true angel, she does have power as well. She saved Dodge and Munder." Jack tells her as she looks to him confused.

"Why didn't she save you?" Scarlett asks.

"I still have a job to do, now you need to go and get ready. The costume party is tonight." Jack says standing up about to walk out. "You two don't have to follow my orders anymore but you better protect her or I will kill you."

"I believe you, what about Victoria though?" I ask him wanting to know what the plan was.

"I will find a way to deal with her." Jack says as he turns back to us.

"Jack wait!" Scarlett says as she runs up to him and kisses him right on the mouth. "I don't know why I had to do that but I just had to."

Jack looks at her with a small smile and a slight smile then nods as he walks off.

"Either of you have an idea why I had the odd need to kiss him?" Scarlett asks Dodge and I.

"Not our place to say." Dodge answers.

"Come on you need to get ready angel." I tell her as we walk out of the theater.

Once we got to her room Scarlett looks down and saw the angel costume her cousin left her on the bed and she looks to both Dodge and I worried.

"It looks just like the one from my vision." She tells us as she holds up the dress. "I can't let all of those people die."

"Jack said he had a plan of sorts." I tell her as I sit on her bed.

"Like we trust him?" she questions.

"We really have no choice, their power is equally matched." Dodge says.

Scarlett takes her clothes and changes in the bathroom, when she walks out she looks stunning and neither Dodge nor I can take our eyes off of her. She walks up to the mirror and puts her halo headband on her head. That completes her outfit as she turns back to us.

"What? Do I not look like an angel?" she asks looking at her dress.

"No you do you really do." Dodge speaks up.

"You really fit the description of a beautiful angel." I tell her as she smiles at me.

"This is really freaking me out guys, I have no idea what I am going to do to save everyone." Scarlett admits to us with a sigh.

"We'd better head down to the ballroom, people will start to arrive soon." Dodge says as we walk out together.
