Cade rubbed his eyes as he woke up. "What..? What's wrong?" He asked, still half asleep.

Scarlet peeked out from the bathroom, wiping the tears off her face. “In here!”, she called.

"Sc-Scarling?" Willow stumbled her way to Scarlet, crying.

“What’s wrong?” Scarlet lead the poor girl into the bathroom and closed the door behind her, eyes lit up with concern.

"Did you tell Cade that my dislike towards him doesn't matter because I'm insane?"

“What?! No! We were talking, and he was going on about how we must all dislike him, and I said that Harper and Quinn had a lot on their minds, and that you were— still recovering, and that you didn’t hate him.” Never had Scarlet regretted something she’d said more than that night, even if what Willow has said was a misinterpretation of her words.

"I don't understand. Why would you belittle me to make Cade feel better?"

“And I don’t understand how that is belittling you. Do you hate him?”

"Do you hate me?"

“Why on earth would I hate you?”

"Why would you?"

“I don’t see why you would think that, Willow. I don’t hate you, and never would.”

"The queen says otherwise." Willow turned away and left the bathroom, her heart hardening.

Chelsea somehow was still asleep, not sleeping for two days takes an effect on you.

Scarlet froze. “The Queen?! Willow come back!!”

Willow was in her secret tree-house. Not really hers, Abasi had made it for her using his plant magic. He'd coaxed the trees to bend and mold into the little hut that she was sitting in now.

Scarlet ran out, trying to find Willow.

Cade watched as Scarlet and Willow ran out. I shouldn't interfere, I'll just make it worse….

(Okay thanks, have fun!)

“Willow?”, she called, running out to the garden.

Willow didn't answer. She didn't feel good either. The queen appeared again, but this time Willow didn't yell. She quietly faced the queen, "You were right."
"I always am."
