ENSNARED BY BLOOD

3.6

It had been about five months since Romans killing spree
Mark had finally introduced Scarlett to his half sister, quickly leaving to meet up with Sidney
Scarlett sat awkwardly on the couch beside the girl, picking at her finger nails

"So..." the girl with the ponytail muttered
"You wanna watch a movie?" She questions

"You got Bride of Chucky?" Scarlett asks glancing up at the girl, who's lip twitches up into a smile

"What? You got a thing for Tiffany Valentine or something?"

"Who doesn't?" Violet lets out a laugh as she stands up, grabbing the tape and putting the movie on
"How about after this one if Mark isn't back we can watch Stab?" The girl questions jokingly earning a blank stare from Scarlett

"Kidding" She says quickly

"Yeah, sorry" Scarlett murmurs

"No, it's fine. I shouldn't of said that" Violet shrugs
"We can watch Halloween or Carrie after this one"

"Carrie" Scarlett nods

"Was hoping you would say that"

Violet passed out on one end of the couch as Scarlett watched the movie only getting pulled away from it when the front door opened and closed

A man, maybe three years older than the two walked in
He had dark hair, pale skin and blue eyes and he immediately straightened up when he saw the stranger next to his friend

Scarlett waved slightly and he nodded his head in a hello before he sat on the seat beside her, the two watching the movie as Violet snored

Violet woke up with a grunt as Mark barged in shouting out how he had gotten ice cream
"Wow? How thoughtful of you" the raven haired boy taunts with a smirk as he snatches the ice cream tub from Scarlett's hand, the redhead frowning slightly

"Hey, Vi, can we talk for a second.. privately?" Kincaid questions as he stared at the man, Violet sighs as if she knows exactly what he was going to say before the two walked to the kitchen

The boy immediately gave her the ice cream back
"I'm Jed Olsen. I'm Violets... roommate" he states holding a hand out as his lip quirks into a smirk
"Uh... I'm Scarlett Loomis" the girl says with a small smile as she shakes his hand

"Yeah, I've seen you on the news a few times, wrote a paper about the killings earlier this year actually-""Scar" Kincaid calls out

"Scar" she could hear the older boy mutter under his breath as he looked between the two
"Let's go" he states

"I can walk home-""now"

"Okay, jeez. No need to get all pissy" the girl grumbles as she stood up shrugging her jacket on

Violet walked into the living room with a sweet smile
"I had a good time, we should hang out again" she states, Scarlett nods slightly

The three had started hanging out more
Well more Violet and Scarlett
Jed was always busy with trying to find things to write about but sometimes when they were at the apartment he would watch a movie or play board games with them

A few months ago when Scarlett turned eighteen
She had insisted she could live by herself

She was wrong

The slightest creek in the floor or a tap on a window would set alarms off

She was paranoid
