Beautiful: A Lunar Chronicles Fan-Fiction

Chapter One: Jealousy

After landing in Rio de Janeiro, and picking up a few items, everyone was back on board Iko and on their way to Africa. Walking through a narrow corridor, Cinder happens to come across Scarlet and Wolf. She noticed that Scarlet was wearing a knee-length strapless sundress, her curves and curly red hair accented the dress which was a nice shade of green. Scarlet had paired the dress with a pair of gold sandals which she bought with the little money Scarlet managed to keep from her adventure. Wolf's arm was around Scarlet, and they were flirting with each other, after all, they were dating. Cinder hid around the corner so that Scarlet and Wolf would not notice that she was around.

"You look very beautiful Scarlet. No one can ever look as beautiful as you, well, not in my eyes at least" Wolf said.

"Thanks Wolf, I hope to look my best for you all the time. I just wanted to look girly for you, it seems like ever since we have met, I have only looked bad and like a tomboy, I want to let you know that I can be girly too" Scarlet said.

"Well, I like the way you look." Wolf replied "But it doesn't matter what you wear, you will always be beautiful to me, because you are my number one Scarlet. You're my alpha female" he continued.

"Oh, Wolf" Scarlet leaned in to kiss Wolf. Cinder watched as they exchanged looks to each other. They both had to look of being in love, like no one can ever break them up. The temperature started to rise, but when Cinder touched the wall, it was cool. It wasn't Iko who was blushing, but it was herself whose temperature was rising but why.

"Am, I blushing? I can't be, I can't overheat" Cinder thought to herself.

"No, I am not blushing, but I am angry for some reason but why?" She thought again. Cinder turned the corner and went back to her room. Locking the door she sat down on her bed and started to think. Just looking at them together mad her angry but why. She honestly thought Scarlet and Wolf were made for each other. They belonged together and they were happen when they were around each other. But why did it make her angry? Cinder couldn't help but to think back to all of the times Emperor Kaito and herself had times like that, such as when she had passed out in Dr. Erland's office and he had helped her to her feet, or the time when he had visited her in her booth in the market and gave her the gloves he wanted to see her at the ball in. But she and Kaito were just friends; well that is what she thought even though he probably hated her now. But Cinder could not understand why she was so angry all of a sudden.

"When did I become angry" Cinder thought to herself. Replaying the scene in her head, she realized that she wasn't angry when she had first seen Scarlet and Wolf together, but when Wolf had used to word beautiful to describe Scarlet. Coming to the realization Cinder gasped and put her hand to cover her mouth.

"Am I jealous of Scarlet?" Cinder asked herself. She was coming to the realization that in fact that she was in fact jealous of Scarlet, but why. Cinder looked down at her left hand and leg, the metal shining at Cinder.

"This is why I am jealous, Scarlet isn't a freak like me. I doubt I would ever be called beautiful by anyone." She did get called pretty by Emperor Kaito when they were in Dr. Erland's office, but that was a long time ago and in Emperor Kaito's words now, she was worse to look at then Levana. Slowly coming to the conclusion in which she thought to be true, Cinder climbed further into the middle of her bed, curled up into a ball and wished she could cry.
