She said to her in he most disrespectful way as she strutted to her.

“How long has it been eh? I should have known you’d be here. In the dirt with all these other philistines. But that’s what I’d expect.”

Violet darkly snarled at her as if she were a skin disease.

“Not long enough. What are you doing here, Scarlet?”

Scarlet

“Well I am obliged to make an appearance in this festival. That and I plan to showcase my latest work of for the festival’s fashion show. As it is important to represent the family’s empire. But of course you know that, don’t you dear?”

Violet turned away from her. Head lowered, as if facing her would turn her to stone.

Scarlet, continued to pester.

Oh what’s the matter darling. Did i remind you of how far you’ve fallen from your status? That is if it was real which we both know was not. And i still see you’re wearing that same silly hat. Was it too expensive to buy a new one or was it the only one to match you’re discolored hair?”

Drake, scoffed and stood up from the table. Violet was slightly alarmed by this as she feared what was about to happen. Drake pushed the table aside as he said in the most calmest manner.

“Hi great to meet you. Drakehelm is my name don’t wear it out. Old joke my bad. Uuum. I have a question. Who are you and why are being such a massive bitch right now?”

The crowd surrounding them gave a gasp as if they saw someone getting shot. And judging by Violet’s flared up glare. That seemed like it was going to be the case in this situation. But she was not the only one reacting to Drake’s statement in a negative way. Scarlet shot a glance at him with a snarl that made her look as if she was trying to stab him in every direction with her mind.

Scarlet snapped.

“How dare you? Do you not know who I am?”

Drake pondered

“............A bitch?”

Scarlet, even more outraged

“I AM SCARLET VANROSSA!!! Daughter of Ruby Vanrossa and eldest of the four Vanrossa heirs to the Vanrossa family fortune and empire. I am also the Vanrossa company fashion designer and social media influencer. Even the cockroaches beneath my feet has heard of me.”

Drake then chuckled which made her even madder

“Wait a minute. You’re name is Scarlet and your moth’s name is Ruby? Are all members of your family named after a shade of red? what’s your aunt’s name. Apple? Cherry?..........Violet?”

He paused and face sank and he looked at Violet, noticed that she and the woman named Scarlet having the only thing that was different from their appearance, was their different coloured hair. Other than that. Hey looked like twins to him. He also noticed the face Violet made, that she was trying to hide herself by placing her hat to cover her face. He had never seen Violet so timid before. As if looking at a high school freshman shy girl. But eventually she rose up and stepped in front of Drake.

Violet, lowered voice and fearful tone.

“Drake, please don’t get involved in this. This is not something I want to escalate.”

Scarlet, with a sardonic smile

“You should listen to her big man. At least she knows her place. Don’t you Violet? you should do the same.”

Drake straitened up and looked at her the same way he would look at an enemy

“I know my place just fine. And if you continue to be a pest. You’ll know your place soon enough.”

Drake was expecting a rageful retaliation but instead the woman named Scarlet merely chuckled in response.

Scarlet after bawling in laughter

“I must say you’ve got balls. No wonder you stuck to this little boy toy. Considering you wouldn’t have made it on your own. I suspected that you would have starved on your own after i banished you.”

Drake, eyes beamed

“You cast out your own sister?”

Scarlet paused for a moment. Then laughed even louder at that statement.

“Sister? Is that what you think? You think that’s the reason she has my face? no no no silly man. I gave it to her. She owes her very existence because of me.”

Violet turned to her with eyes wider and arms trembling

“Scarlet please don’t say anything i beg you.”

Scarlet, grinned

“Oh what. You don’t want your boyfriend to find out that you are.....”

Violet

“Don’t you fucking dare.”

Scarlet

“nothing more than........”

Violet

“Please you can’t.....

Scarlet

“.............a clone?”

Drake was silent, he did not know what to say. Looked to violet than to scarlet. Wrapping his head around the idea. And he realized how much that made sense. Just as he expected Violet to finally lose control of her anger as she thundered to her.

“YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!”.

But all it did was make Scarlet even more amused as she circled around her. Continuing to mock her.

“I suppose he should know the whole story shouldn’t he? You see, as an icon, entrepreneur and famous of all the Vanrossa family members. I can be a bit busy. Between marketing meetings, fashion designing and updating socials, i barely have time to myself. So I hired someone, a former scientist you could say who continued his experiments in Hell. I simply asked he’d make a clone of someone who could do all the boring shit for me and I enjoy a nice cocktail while i sit by the pool and read. And it worked for a while anyway.”

Violet, hearing her bring up all of this made her freeze and tremble in the most terrified way. She held her arm like she was trembling from a trauma. She stood there, petrified and panicking as if she was injected with every poison on the planet. And yet Scarlet continued with her cruelty.

“For a time it was a success. She was me in every way except for her lack of magical power of course. I had that for myself. And for a while she was the perfect tool. And i was actually starting to appreciate her. And then she made one stupid mistake. And BAM, she was considered a failure. I can only imagine how pathetic you have been since you spent so long in the gutter like the worthless defective thing you are. Eh Violet.”

Drake could feel the burning rage in Violet’s aura as her pink energy surrounded her and fire was sparking from her hands. She stood there both mad and petrified. Flashes of her memories and trauma nearly overwhelmed and there was no telling what she was about to do in her breaking point. Her face went blank, mind racing from one horrible memory to another. Her energy was spiking and the flames nearly ignited as her fists clenched in rage. She was about to lose control and let out every demon she had inside her like a pandora’s box that she would never close even if she wanted to.

But then suddenly, the flames died and all that rage suddenly faded away her heart had sank and his will was broken as if she did not see the point in fighting back. For her words had made her completely helpless in ways a punch couldn’t. The energy dispersed and her hands released and she bowed her head in defeat.

Scarlet only continued laughing as she expressed so much joy and seeing Violet turn and walk away. Dragging herself through the grasses and weakling passing people aside. Drake watched her fade to the crowd slowly with melancholy it was like she was walking through water. She looked as if she had no will to do anything. And for the first time. Drake heart hurt. He could not bear to see her in such a state.

So he did something dumb.

Drake, Turning to the laughing Scarlet along with her assistants who laughed with her.

“Excuse me. This chat has been fun an all. But you have something on your face.”

Scarlet frowned

“Wait what? Where?”

Drake, touching his face to guide her

“Here.”

Scarlet touched her nose

“Here?”

Drake

“No on the other side.”

Scarlet

“Above here?”

Drake.

“No no. You know what? Let me handle it.”

And so he grabbed a beer cup and tossed the beverage all over her as the beverage went all over her like a tidal wave. She was drenched from head to toe and the worst part was how frizzled her hair looked. And as he suspecting, that was the worst one of all.

Scarlet in absolute fury

“You ruined my hair! I’M GONNA KILL YOOOOOOU!”

With a grin, Drake cracked his knuckles but before he could say anything, he went “OH SHIT”, and blocked the giant red energy drill that she fired from her hands. He blocked it with his arms cross for guarding as the momentum made him drag his feet on the ground. It wasn’t long before he finally stomped his feet, stopping himself and tossed the attack across the sky. Surprising no one, her face looked like more of the wicked witch of the west than Violet did. Minus the melting of course. Her face filled with murderous intent as she barely saw through the wet hairs dangling on her face as he hand glow bright blue and red fire.

Scarlet snarled at him

“How dare you disrespect me and my hair? My beautiful hair! You delusional, worthless lower class maggot!”

Drake in a fighting pose while grinning.

“Talk about Deja Vu. Try again bitch, I’ve been called a lot worse than that.”

And so she did. And the things she said to him were so vile, so horrific, so grotesque. The writer didn’t even bother adding the dialogue. Cause it would be censored if it were a series. Everyone was shocked by the horrific things that came out of Scarlet’s mouth. The people, the birds, the showman, her assistants. Even Drake was frozen in shock by the horrid things she said. Scarlet looked around and felt the awkwardness while Drake was slowly backing away from her. Until he was gone from view.

Scarlet turned to one of her assistants.

“Did.........did I win?”.

Her assistant, backing away from her like a bomb.

“Don’t, don’t touch me.”.
