Scarlet's Witch Page #3

You didn't hear it

from me, but I heard

Julia has been talking to him.

Like, for real.

Who?

This girl in my

class, knows this girl.

Who knows her.

Wow, you know, you

need some new friends.

I'm serious!

I trust Greg.

He understands me,

and no one else does.

I do.

That's not what I meant.

I know what you meant.

I'm just trying to

watch out for you.

It's what friends do.

Oh, hey Scarlet.

Oh, hey.

Umm, who was that?

Oh that's Julia.

She's another transfer student

and we're doing a group project.

Okay.

What did you think?

Nothing, don't worry about it.

You can trust me, you know.

I'm your friend.

Yeah.

Umm, anyways, I have to

go see an old friend,

but I will call you soon.

Yeah, okay.

Are you okay?

Stay away from me!

Well, what's wrong?

I'm sick.

I might be dying.

Don't be overdramatic.

What do you care, anyway?

Oh, don't let me keep you.

I know you're a very busy girl.

Look, I got caught

up, I'm sorry.

Shh!

Well, what do you want from me?

Nothing at all.

Stop being like this, I'm

trying to be your friend.

Please.

I know you've found someone.

What?

You found love.

I should have known,

it happens to us all.

Have you been spying on me?

I see more than you know!

I thought you knew that.

I am trying to be your friend,

and you are acting like

some jealous boyfriend and,

this doesn't make any sense.

However do you mean?

I am 22 years old, and

I have a witch friend,

who lives in the woods.

That does not make any sense.

This was fine when

I was nine, because

this works on kid logic.

But now I, I don't even know...

You will know!

Umm, I mean, if you

look into your heart.

What does that even mean?

I can't do this anymore.

I don't want your

grief or your guilt.

And I certainly don't

want your magic.

I am trying to be an adult,

I've got to be an adult.

So I'm gonna walk

out that door, and

convince myself

that you were just

some weird old lady

that lives in the forest

that I visited because

I felt sorry for her,

and I'm going to pretend,

that the last 12 years

of weirdness never happened.

I'm leaving.

And I'm never coming back.

Scarlet needed

her friend in the woods.

She no longer felt understood.

Her old friend was

all she really had.

I'm sorry, alright?

Please.

You mean it?

I do.

You didn't come here

because you felt sorry for me.

You came here because you

felt sorry for yourself.

- It isn't like that...

- Yes, it is.

I understand.

I was young once.

Now you see how it feels

to really want something!

You want that boy back.

Was it everything you expected?

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you for letting

me back into your life.

I was a terrible

person, but that

is all gonna change now.

You have no idea.

Oh my god!

I feel good!

I'm back!

I'm frickin' back!

What's...

What's going on?

What's going on, is I'm

hot for the first time

in who knows how long.

I'm free!

I'm frickin' free!

Oh thank you, thank you!

What did I do?

Used the wand.

Finally!

Only took you 12 freakin' years.

The last girl, I was this

close to getting her to,

but uh, she moved away.

I cried for like, a month.

I don't understand.

You don't have to.

This is my time now.

Oh, I'm Julia, by the way.

See, now that name

actually means something.

And the curse is off

of me and on to you.

Wait, I don't get it.

Everyone wants something.

Here's what I wanted, to

bring my father back to life.

So, finally, I broke.

March of 1978.

I took the wand.

It doesn't actually work.

Oh, I have so many

things I wanna do!

Good lord!

Sucks that all my

friends are old by now.

I didn't have that many anyways.

It's always the lonely

ones that get the wand,

we're susceptible to its lore.

Oh, uh, it's happening

now, by the way.

What's happening?

The curse.

Your turn.

You're me now.

Why did you do this to me?

To get it off of me!

Jesus, Scarlet!

I gotta go live my life!

Just, I don't know, pass

it on to someone else.

What?

Everything resets when

you get the next twit

to use the wand.

Also, it helps if you

talk like a storybook witch.

Like your friend did.

You remember your friend?

You can't do this to me!

Whoa, whoa!

This all sounds so familiar.

Look, I gotta go.

Oh, one last thing.

Don't break the wand.

What do you mean?

You break the wand,

we're all dead, so.

What?

There's a book in the cottage

that explains everything.

Look, I gotta go.

People to see, things

to do, sex to have.

- What?

- Peace out!

As she read

the book in the cottage,

she learned that the

curse was only created

because no one

would pay the price.

So the debt was transferred from

person to person, with interest.

Scarlet couldn't get herself

to pass the curse on.

She felt guilty.

Afraid and weak.

As Scarlet learned,

with the hourglass,

she could change back

to her younger self.

After seeing Julia,

Scarlet realized

she had to pass the

curse to someone else.

Scarlet!

Where have you been?!

Around.

I've been looking for you!

Your dad's been looking for you!

Umm, I got lost.

What?

Just, don't worry

about it, okay?

Okay, are you

gonna tell your dad?

Yeah, I will.

Okay.

Well, umm, I

wanted to ask if you

wanted to go hiking with me.

Why?

Because I wanted to show you

this awesome thing that I found.

What is it?

It's in the woods.

Anything else?

No.

- When?

- Now.

Scarlet, what's going on?

I said nothing, can you

please just come with me?!

I just don't, why?

You have been begging

me to go somewhere

with you forever, and

now you don't want to go?

Okay.

Okay, I'll go with you.

Okay.

Whoa, what is this place?

It's a twig.

No, it's a wand.

Seems a little low-budget.

Will you just use it

for something you want,

like to pass that test

you always wanted to pass.

Unless it's a pregnancy

test, I'm alright.

Please, Megan, this is serious.

Scarlet, what's going on,

why are you acting like this?

I can't tell you!

- Why?

- It's complicated!

I'm all ears.

No!

We should go, it's gonna rain.

Not until you use the wand!

- Why?

- Because I said so!

Whoa.

Whoa.

What the hell?

Just use the wand!

Am I sleeping?

Use the wand!

Okay, okay give it to me.

Do you want me to

use the wand or not?

Hello?

I can't.

What?

I just can't, I wish I

could explain it to you,

it's just that, you might

be my first real friend.

Who are you?

It's me!

I don't understand.

Can I go please?

I think you should go.

Thank you.

Where's Scarlet?

I am her!

No you're not!

Where is she?

Just go!

It was here.

It was right here,

I promise you!

Ma'am, I don't see a foundation,

let alone footprints.

There was a wand,

and this old lady.

I wouldn't make up

a story like this,

who makes up a story like this?

I'm sorry, but I don't

see any sign of a victim.

She's not a victim,

she's just deluded.

She's putting on this

whole crazy show.

Scarlet!

You sure you ain't Scarlet?

No, I'm not Scarlet.

That's some bullshit.

Scarlet!

Greg?

Exactly, hello
