Chapter 548: A slippery slope.

Breaking news; In a now developing story, news reaching our desk is that Mecha warrior General Sang has been under arrest on the Blue star for the past one week for the crime of attacking governor Scarlet Su inside her office during an undisclosed meeting with two unidentified agents of the tribunal.

It has not been ascertained as to what led to the attack but we are contacting the governors, mecha warriors association and RGB for an explanation of the events. What we do know is that the governor has not stepped foot in her office and she has been doing all of her work in the house of ministers after the day of the incident.

As of now, BSTV reporter Jelly Simmons has acquired exclusive footage of the horrific the attack as it happened which we will be airing right now."

The news broke just in time for the nine o’clock evening news when everyone except for those who worked the night shifts were watching television.

As soon as it broke, the video was shared on star net rapidly and it became a hot topic.

Scarlet, who was putting Justin to bed was suddenly bombarded with dozens of messages and calls from relatives and officials on the Blue star.

"Alex, switch off my devices."

"Yes mistress." the AI answered.

She was not interested in explaining the ins and outs of general Sang or his attempt to search her mind.

Hovering in the doorway of Justin’s bedroom and being ignored was a frustrated Esong. He was determined to have the conversation which she didn’t and he was willing to wait all night long if that was what it took.

His terminal buzzed and he saw the trending news.

"You decided to break the news yourself, I see. Is there something you are planning which I should know about?" he looked at the back of her head as he talked because she had her back turned towards him.

Scarlet shifted her body and ignored him, maintaining golden silence.

His eyes flashed red for a few seconds and returned to black quickly. Even if she was unwilling to talk to him, he would talk to her. He would talk for as long as it took for her to hear him out. "I thought you wanted to announce the cure for the darkness at the press conference tomorrow while addressing general Sang’s attack. Have you changed your mind?"

One of Justin’s feet moved and Scarlet hurried to pat his chest so that he would not wake up. As soon as he settled down, she stood up.

"I said I needed space." she whispered furiously.

She walked past him with angry determined steps and he followed her, equally determined.

"Leave me alone." she turned around and told him.

"Never." he answered.

She scoffed angrily and turned around, walking to the bedroom that they shared. She almost instructed Alex to seal the doors but he got his body inside quicker as if he knew what she was planning to do.

"We have to talk about it." he said.

"No we don’t." she replied and threw herself on the bed.

As soon as he laid down next to her, she sat up with a plan to move elsewhere in the room. His hand shot out, he grabbed her and pulled her back down. With his strength, he pinned her down on the bed.

"Let me go you jerk." she yelled at him.

Even though she could use her powers and throw him off easily, she chose not to. Deep down, she was fearful that these could be some of the last moments of physical closeness that they could have together.

"Never, I am never letting you go. You cannot run away from me Scar, you are mine, the only thing in the universe that’s truly mine." he said to her, refusing to let her up.

She gave up on struggling and just laid there but the fury within her had not died down. She stared at the ceiling with an empty look in her grey eyes.

In a resigned voice, she said, "I cannot run away from you but you can walk in and out of my life as you please, how shameless and cruel Esong Wu. You would willingly turn me into a widow as long as you are a martyr to the empire and yet you so passionately tell me that you will never let go of me and that I am yours."

She turned her head to face the wall and he dragged it back before it could even get to it’s destination. He forced her to look into his eyes.

In a sure and low voice, he said to her, "You will never be a widow. Just trust in me and wait for me to come back to you whole."

Scarlet suddenly started laughing, loudly but dryly. There was no humor or amusement in the sounds which came out of her mouth. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears and resignation with self mockery.

She was a grim reaper, and him, a human. Their relationship was a cosmic joke because no matter how long she held on to him, she would eventually become a widow. The words he had just said to comfort her stabbed her heart instead.

As memories of all the advise and arguments which her reaper friends had made about loving a human suddenly crushed her, weighing her down like rocks pulling her to the bottom of a deep well.

Perhaps, this was the way he was meant to go outcand she could not stop it. It was every humans destiny to die after all.

"Or perhaps he will make it back and you are looking at the negative sides of this issue and scaring yourself." Severus said, in her mind.

Scarlet looked into his eyes suddenly and her eyes turned gold. She grabbed both sides of his head and started using her powers.

"You will not go into the space crack. Tomorrow, you will secretly reveal Mega X1’s mission to the emperor and cancel the plan to send a team into that unknown world. Now go to sleep and when you wake up, you will do as I have said."

Esong’s body went limp and he went to sleep as she said, immediately. She laid him down and looked upon his face with a much more relieved smile.

"I should have done this right from the beginning." she said to herself.

Severus and Flan teleported into the bedroom and Severus jumped onto the bed.

"What have you done?" he asked her.

"I have put a halt to a stupid plan." she answered. It was just until Mega X1 returned, she told herself. After the return of the mecha, if he still wanted to go there, she would not stop him.

She did not seem to be bothered or repentant.

Severus did not approve and his face made it obvious so Scarlet refused to look at him.

Severus still said what was on his mind. "He has free will as a human and you are abusing it. What you are doing is a slippery slop Scarlet. If you cannot even let him go on a mission that he volunteered for then what will you do when his time is up?"

"I will let him go." she said after gritting her teeth.

Severus shared a look with Flan and they both shared a united thought. This relationship between Scarlet and the human needed to be analyzed again.

First it was hypnosis and then someday, perhaps, an unthinkable ritual to keep him alive. She would not be the first grim reaper to go crazy like that.

Flan had been sent here for this exact purpose, to stop her from going off the rails. The female hound teleported to the underworld immediately.
