She rushed to Carter Manor as fast as she could. When she got there and went inside, Scarlet was already waiting for her at the door. She was leaning against the wall, her ankles crossed over each other.

She pushed herself back to her feet and grabbed Kestrel's wrist, "Come on."

She led Kestrel to a small room that Kestrel was sure was a combat room. There were weapons, many of them. A punching bag hung from the ceiling. But what caught her eye were the two idiots fighting on the floor. They seemed to be ignoring everything going on around them and were focused more on knocking the other out.

Kestrel's hand twitched as she stopped herself from facepalming.

Scarlet sighed, running her hands down her face, "Stop these two before I kill them both."

But how? I doubt they'll listen to me, the redhead thought.

"Chameleon?" She said, deciding to give a try, "Salamander?"

They didn't listen.

Scarlet's gaze landed on something and stayed fixed. Kestrel looked at what had caught her attention and her eyes widened.

"Oh hell no," She objected as the scarlet haired girl picked the small handgun.

"Can you come up with another way?"

That beat her, and she shook her head, "No."

"Then?" She said and placed the gun in Kestrel's hands.

An emotion that she couldn't begin to describe swept through her body, and she looked at Scarlet, "What!?"

"Only you can do it," Scarlet said, "I could, but, there's just something holding me back."

As she enclosed her hands around it, her fingers on the trigger, with newlyfound courage, she nodded. She lifted the gun and aimed it towards the two tigers, wrestling on the ground.

"Which one?" She whispered.

"Just shoot whoever you want, I don't really care. Don't kill them though, just enough to stop them both."

She pressed her lips together and her hands trembled as she held the gun. Scarlet noticed her hesitance and stepped towards and behind her.

She covered Kestrel's eyes with her hands and she could feel her friend's breathe on her shoulder.

"Shoot," She whispered.

For some reason, her mind told her fingers to pull the trigger two times, meaning she shot twice!

It seemed that the gun had a silencer attached to it; must be why they didn't hear the gunshots.

She heard Scarlet draw in a breath.

"Well, crap, I'll go call the ambulance."

Howdy do!

How are you all today?

I'm good.

How was the chapter?

Can you guess who had left the gun there?

I think it's easy.

Quote of the chapter:

"Well, crap, I'll go call the ambulance." ~Scarlet

Yep, that's it.

Bye!
