12. Scarlet

                  "Derick please set Demitra free! Please, darling let her go." I beg Derick, "Scarlet can we just live here? Have a family?" he cradles my face as tears seep down. I saw my only daughter with Derick crying out for me adn for her father...We were never there, we could never be there for her...We left her alone... I... I left her alone...I failed her. "Scarlet my love please...Let me go get her and we can all live in this place of fantasy and freedom." he begs, "Derick she is not MY ONLY CHILD!" I scream, "No she is not your only child...But she is OUR only child." he tells me, "Scarlet stay with me or I could let you go back to your family and I will keep Demitra lost in the woods forever until she dies of starvation! Of course though I wouldn't let her die, I love her more than I love you...But you will never EVER be able to see her." he mocks. My family...My Shane, my love and my other children and my friends...And then Demitra... This might be my biggest mistake in my life but "Derick...Take our child...And let me go to my life with Shane please. Derick, please." I fall on my knees and cry. "This was your choice Scarlet Valentine. This was your choice." I look up but, my eyes are too blurry from the tears and I barely see what he is doing. "Before you leave, you will be again pregnant with my child and then you will have to see his or her face everyday." he whispers, "Scarlet remember when you were Kathlene? Why can you go back to her? She loved me, she wanted me...I loved her I wanted make a life with her. Now I know she is a quiter and she is gone." he voice cracks and his tears drop to the floor. "Derick please don't do this...Please..." I beg through the sobs, "To...Late!" he snaps his fingers and I am back in my home in the living room with my children and friends and Shane gathering around what seemed like an angel than I realize...Its Demitra adn she stopped breathing...
