A few days later, there was a hurried knock at his door.
(Yoop!) By the next morning, Scarlet and Xavier were gone. His heart was gone as well. They had found a temporary abandoned cabin to hide in.
Xavier started into the main room, looking around curiously. "Since when do you care about other people's feelings?" he asked with a smirk,...
She sucked in air through her teeth before standing straight and looking at him with furrowed brows. "I'm so sorry, Burke."
Scarlet raised her hands as if surrendering. "I know! We can't stay here, Xavier. Just.. anywhere else. Burke has been kind enough." Xavier eyed...

She went still, watching him.
She looked down at herself moving to touch it but pulling away. "No, no. This one is my own fault. We had separated by the time I got this one."
She watched him with a frown. "I did stop," she promised. "I just.. He asked for my help. I couldn't leave him stranded."
She nodded slightly, unclipping the coat from around her neck and setting it aside. There was a long scratch on torso, as a blade had torn through...
