064 A Smart Snake
Scarlett’s POV
When I woke up, everything was dark. For a moment, I thought it was still at night, only to see that I’m in a dark room when my eyes got used to the darkness.
My mind is like a mush, and it’s adjusting even slower than my eyes as if someone. injected fog into my brain.
What happened? Where am I? I was in a car…? The last thing I could remember was Ava’s scared eyes.
Ava!
My memory of last night rushes into my mind as that name wakes them up, also is waking up is a throbbing pain in my temples. I frown, trying to rub my temples, only

“Scar!”
