Chapter Twenty-Four
Scarlet calmly stepped through the doors of the museum; she felt a rush of sensations run though her body.
She knew what she was after.
Her heels stepped across the floor as she moved past the crowd of the public.
She felt pride run through her body with each step, she kept her focus around her, she didn't care for the priceless artifacts around her. She just wanted one. One in particular. Her Cage.
Scarlet beamed with power. She stepped towards the two people talking in front of her cage.
"It's a beautiful piece, isn't it?" Scarlet watched as the two of them turned their attention to her. She smiled sweetly.
Sasha glanced at the painting before glancing back at Scarlet "The buyer will absolutely love this piece."
Scarlet quickly dropped her sweet smile "The buyer?"
Fred nodded "This beautiful piece has just been sold." He loved saying sold, he loved that he didn't have to cover up a missing artifact.
Scarlet felt rage fire inside of her "You can't sell this." She felt the fear of darkness wash over her "This is my home."
Fred didn't understand.
Sasha watched, she kept herself calm.
Scarlet reached for the Nameless One.
"I'm sorry Ma'am, but you ..." Fred felt Scarlet's knuckles make contact with his face.
Sasha watched as Fred dropped to the floor, she turned her attention to Scarlet "Your making a mistake."
Scarlet ripped The Nameless One from its position on the wall, she turned her attention to Sasha "What will you and your merry band do." She smirked before turning her back.
Scarlet took pride in holding her painting within her grasp as she stepped calmly through the museum, she listened to the sirens going on. She watched as the panic of the crowd rushed through. She listened to calls of security over the speakers.
Scarlet smiled as splatter of liquid dripped from the edge of the canvas, she kept herself focused as she took steps closer to the entrance.
"STOP!."
Scarlet did as she was told, she looked up at the nervous small team of security guards in front of her "Is that all you got?"
"We can't let you take the artifact." Spoke a security guard.
Scarlet glanced down at The Nameless One in her arms, she could feel the splash of liquid by her heels "I'll let you have it, if you survive." With those words, the liquid quickly sparked with flames, following each drip of liquid that had come from The Nameless One.
The security guards panicked as protocol kicked in.
Scarlet watched; she didn't move. She took too much pride in watching fear run over those around her.
It was as if Scarlet was soaking in the fear, she could feel the power of fear run through her body, she could feel the power of fear seep into her cage, her smile began to turn into a twisted hint of laughter as she started to move through the scared crowd.
Her nails gently tapped the frame of The Nameless One as she stepped through the doors, The Nameless One disappeared from her grasp before Scarlet disappeared amongst the crowd.
