She ended up sitting on the table as the others yelled insults at her and she sat there, staring into space. Sure, she was getting angry but she wasn't going to give them the satisfaction. She instead, tried to think of a way out of it. There had to be something she could do to stop herself from becoming a sinner.

She could fake it. Surely, if she wasn't genuinely angry it wouldn't work. If they thought they had her, she could use that to escape.

It was better than nothing.

"Shut the fuck up," she shrieked. "Seriously! Come up with some better fucking insults. I've heard worse literally every day you dumb fucks." She went to push Frobisher, forgetting that he was a lot stronger than her and instead ended up being pushed into the open sarcophagus.

She took a deep breath, calming the fear she felt as she closed her eyes, the white light she was engulfed in hurting slightly.

As the light began to dull, and she could hear the other's confusion, she opened the door.

"Yeah, there's a reason I took drama," she informed, shrugging. "As cool as Ammut looks, the end of the world is not something I can get behind."

Frobisher yelled out in anger, throwing things off of the table in the centre of the room before he turned back to her. She took a step back.

"All you've done is delay your fate, tomorrow we finish the job."

Scarlett took another deep breath, letting her face fall back to neutral, "I don't know what sin you think you're getting me for but enjoy trying. I know when I'm being manipulated."

"Do you?"

Her face fell. 

Scarlett's saving grace came in the form of a badly played chord on the organ. The others followed Denby out, trying to figure out who was there.

Her escape attempt was stopped when she was grabbed and carried back into the room. She kicked at them, missing horribly.

"You dumb bitches," she shrieked. "I may be angry now but trust me I will not be later. I am unmanipulatable. And you are way stronger than you should be for an undead dead guy."

Victor and Frobisher had her by an arm each, pulling her away as she kept kicking at them.

Scarlett spent her time getting on the nerves of Frobisher, she figured if she was going to lose her soul she may as well have some fun with it while she could and that meant telling him that the old version of him would be ashamed of himself and singing very loudly and out of tune.

She was stopped mid-Taylor Swift song when Frobisher sent her a glare and rushed out of the room. She shot up from her space on the floor, beginning her search for a way out.
