Chapter 16

Being twenty-eight with a new baby brother is a challenge turned out her mom was expecting Lance no later than January and sure enough her mom remarried after twenty years. Angelique and Andrea made a pact knowing that they needed each other. They fell in love after six months of dating. Unfortunately for herself, she's still suffering from dark possessions every now and then.

Hannah never came back to recover Scarlett after everything so she knew they weren't destined to be with one another since in the local news announced that they were happily married and expecting a baby by no later than July that next year. Lance is a gorgeous baby boy with dark brown hair, brown eyes, he favored both Angelique and her mom with their mending color of skin. His mixed skin color would get ladies crawling all over him when he grows up.

Scarlett didn't enjoy being known as "Shadow's Of Despair", yes that had become her name with time. No woman would come around her though Kaitlyn Macabre had purposely became attractive to her taking Scarlett even on a deeper down world spiral. Scarlett finally sent Kaitlyn off on her way to find a true meaning of love because Scarlett had no emotions to even make love to her anymore.

Scarlett needed hope for change as her mom came to her saying,

"Baby girl, you have to move on from this darkness that Angelique has given you, it wasn't supposed to be this bad."

Scarlett raised a brow replying,

"What do you mean?"

Andrea sat down on Scarlett's bed responding,

"Angelique was supposed to be giving you practices for good not dark. I don't know what went wrong since I wasn't there but honey this has got to be changed."

Scarlett still didn't understand what her mom went so she replied,

"Mom, I am clueless, what is going on with me?"

Andrea shook her head no back and forth responding,

"That darkness inside you're very soul is the curse called "Shadow's Of Despair" it was a formative to keep you in line from when you're dad died many years ago and unfortunately it has made everything much worse."

Scarlett didn't feel no different but obviously something was wrong since everyone became afraid of her. Scarlett held her mom's hand replying,

"Is their a way to reverse this curse?"

Andrea shrugged her shoulder's as Angelique came in saying,

"Dearest, there is no way at all to reverse the curse. Though you could always do what any true princess would do if they are cursed in those fairy tale books."

Scarlett sighed in frustration replying,

"This is one reason I don't date for one fairy tales don't exist and two what the hell kind of woman is going to believe I am a demon of some sort."

Andrea and Angelique chuckled as Andrea responded,

"Obviously Kaitlyn didn't care what you were and she still loved you."

Scarlett rolled her eyes replying,

"No, no, no not Kaitlyn you're ex girlfriend from school."

Andrea shrugged responding,

"Than I guess you are on you're own because you aren't getting back with Angel Knight, you hear me?"

Scarlett nodded as both of them left to go tend to Lance. Scarlett's thoughts what could lead her to a better ending than sitting in darkness by herself. Soon as she sighed heavily someone spoke at that door saying,

"Hey girl, you need to get out of here and come hang out with me."

Scarlett looked up to see whose speaking to her in that tone, it turned out to be Jana Johnson standing right in front of her. Scarlett gawked trying to find words to speak but they wouldn't come as Jana spoke again,

"Scarlett, you look like you've seen double of me, what is going on?"

Scarlett stuttered her words replying,

"You...her...I...what...is going..on?"

Jana laughed responding,

"We've been friends for many years even after you took my fiancee, you confided in me to believe that you meant no harm."

Scarlett shook her head no back and forth replying,

"We were never friends...you hated me, you wanted me dead."

Jana rolled her eyes responding,

"I swear them drugs mess you up more and more each day."

Scarlett raised her brow replying,

"Drugs...wait you don't think that I am a witch or anything else."

Jana raised her own brow responding,

"A witch? Scarlett you have completely lost you're mind. Me , You, Angel, Annabel and Harley all went to school together here. Do you not remember?"

Scarlett shook her head no replying,

"Unfortunately, I have no recall."

Jana rolled her eyes responding,

"You are totally gone from reality."

Scarlett stood up walking toward Jana replying,

"What am I? Jana, what happened to me?"

Jana walked toward Scarlett responding,

"I don't know but all I can say is you're mom knows about this dark magic and I recommend you to get help with a special person."

Scarlett shook her head no replying,

"My mom and Angelique think I have to fall in love to end the curse."

Jana stopped midway responding,

"I can tell you it isn't me."

Scarlett laughed replying,

"No kidding, it was Angel."

Jana shook her head no responding,

"Technically it still is, I haven't settled down and I am only twenty-nine, she's only twenty-six."

Scarlett raised a brow replying,

"This isn't adding up at all."

Jana chuckled responding,

"It never does."

Scarlett remained in her room seeking a way to avoid finding love because there is no hope for her at all. She had a brother to handle plus help her new mom and mother out with anything. She didn't understand everything that has been going on, it seemed she has been in a coma for years. More than anything Scarlett wanted to kill herself but she couldn't because most likely this darkness offers her protection of some sort.
