VIOLET
I blink my eyes open and they land right at Wolf. He is sitting in front of me, his eyes closed and his hand holding mine.
I feel the exhaustion weighing me down. It feels like I am dead, physically and mentally.
How many days has it been?
The higher ones did mention 3 days something but is it really possible for me to be unconscious for only three days when I felt like years were passing in that dessert?
I lift my hand and place it at Wolf’s cheek. His eyes snap open.
I gulp, seeing the redness of his eyes and the hollowness of his cheeks.
He doesn’t say anything for a moment and only looks at me. After a moment, he slowly releases my hand and pushes his arm under my neck, lifting me up and wrapping his arms around my figure.
A heavy breath escapes his chest, his heart pounding. The little tremo
VIOLET“ I am hungry. ” I tell Wolf after a long pause.He pulls away and slides my hair behind my ears. “ Do you want me to go get you something to eat? ”I shake my head. “ Help me up. I want to go myself. ”Wolf gives me an unsure look before he gets up and holds my hands, helping me to my feet. My head is beginning to pound with a strong headache and it spins just as I place my feet on the cold floor. I wear the slippers placed beside the bed while I feel dizzy.I look down at my clothes and find myself wearing a pink floral dress this time. It reaches down to my knees, leaving my lower legs bare.My hands appear clean and so do my hair.Shivers creep up my spine, making me grit my teeth.It takes me a moment to finally stand on my feet without feeling like I might lose my balance and fall on the floor, breaking my nose in the way.“ Are you okay? ” Wolf
VIOLETAfter talking to Cassius, I go back to the kitchen. To my surprise, everyone has left except Kane who is sitting on the table, staring at the wall blankly.“ What’s wrong with you? ” I wonder out aloud.Kane blinks his eyes, moving his gaze towards me. “ We left your brother and Cora in Vladania. ”I shake my head. “ They are safe there. ”“ Don’t you think we should have brought them with us? You are forgetting something…The people of Vladania are vampires and Elias, Cora are humans. ” Kane mentions another point, a frown drawing up on his forehead.“ I know the people of Vladania are vampires and I know you are worried that they might hurt the humans but I also know…Viktor won’t let it happen. ” I sit down on the chair in front of Kane, trying to assure him.“ I don&
VIOLET“ Is this enough to shut you up for a while? ” I whisper close to his lips and lean a little back to look in his eyes.Wolf takes a deep breath, holding it in as he stares me down.“ Just by looking at you…I can tell there is something strange going on in this pretty head of yours. ” Wolf releases the breath he held back.Pushing his left hand forward, he brushes my bangs off my forehead delicately.“ What’s going in? ” He questions.I grab his right arm and push it under my head to use it as a pillow. “ Nothing. ”“ You should tell me before I have to work hard to find it out on my own. ” Wolf pulls me closer and coils his left arm around my waist.“ Find out on your own then. ” I yawn, pressing my forehead against his neck.“ I hope you are not trying to put y
VIOLETAfter some pushing and pulling, grumping and complaining, Wolf falls asleep. While I stay wide awake.My eyes stare out of the window which is behind him, the moonlight beginning to fade and light starting to shine.What am I going to do to stop him? I haven’t figured it out yet completely and with each passing moment, it’s weighing me down because I will turn eighteen in two days and then…Wolf will only wait for me to get used to my she—wolf before he calls on everyone and wages a war against Katrina. I can see the itch behind his eyes — the urge to get everything over with.I sigh, rubbing my eyes before I climb out of the the bed. Before leaving the room, I glance at him to make sure he is still asleep. His breathing is even, his facial muscles relaxed.I shake my head and stroll out of the room, making sure to close the door of the room gently. I make my way to Cassius’ room and enter after knocking. Like I expected, he is standing by the window in his room. He can’t slee
VIOLET“ Who?n” Gysla frowns.“ That — That spirit… ” I point my thumb behind me, still baffled because of what I saw.“ I can’t see spirits…” Gysla reminds me but her delicate tone doesn’t match her surprised expressions.I straighten up, staring Gysla down.“ What is it all about? ” Kane stretches his muscles, stepping down the last stair.“ Gysla…” I keep my eyes trained on her.“ I suggest you tell me everything right this instant. I know that you know what I am talking about. I saw something out there…It was a spirit…And a spirit shouldn’t be roaming around… Besides, you said there is a shield which keeps these premises protected and only those you approve off, can step inside or go out of here. ” I let out through my gritted teeth.My eyes burn, a familiar headache appearing. Wolf takes hold of my right hand which I have unconsciously clenched into a fist.“ Calm down. ” He leans in, whispering to me.I glance at him and then back at Gysla. “ You know about her. Tell me…who is s
VIOLET“ What the fuck! ” Kane hisses.Wolf grabs my arm, pulling me towards him. “ What’s wrong with you? ”I look behind me and find Leena floating close to Cassius once more. Her scary face makes me want to hide under some table and stay there until she goes away.“ Cassius. Step away. She is too close to you. ” I wave my hand in the air, gesturing for Cassius to get the hell away from that Leena thing.Cassius looks all around, apparently not being able to see her. But, he listens to me for Orphena’s sake and takes two steps back.“ Why are you so scared of me? ” Leena grins, looking right at me.Her razor sharp teeth make their appearance, scaring the rest of the shit out of me. I drag my tongue across my lips, nervously.“ You should say Hi to us too Leena. ” Gysla suggests.Leena floats past me, making her way to Gysla. I press myself harder into Wolf’s body to maintain my distance from her. “ There is nothing to be scared about. I am here. ” Wolf drags his hands down my back,
VIOLETI had been snooping around for a whole day, trying to find the best opportunity to talk to this new character who has landed into my story out of nowhere.But, Gysla seems to be around Leena all the time as if she knows that I will grab any chance I get and I will steal her away until I have the answers to all my questions.We had dinner together and as usual, Gysla didn’t waste any moment and took Leena away from us all, claiming that they both have some catching up stuff to do.It’s frustrating me at this point and I am ready to throw Gysla out of the picture for a while.“ Leave her alone Violet. I don’t think she will answer any of your questions. ” Cassius blurts as I barge inside his room and tell him what’s been on my head from the morning.This further frustrates me.“ We can try at least. I need to try until I come up with some solution, Cassius. ” I tell him as I sit down on his bed.“ Leena is not the solution. She appears more like a problem. ” Cassius grumbles, sti
VIOLET Cassius gets tired of Leena’s bullshit fairly quick but he still exceeds my expectation.“ She knows something is up. ” He huffs as he enters his room, followed by me.“ What made you think this? ” I question.My mind is replaying what Kane said and it’s making me half unable to think anything else.“ She said the ones who want to know something should talk to her instead of throwing her candies. ” Cassius purses his lips, repeating what Leena said.“ So she knows why you went to her. ” I hum quietly.“ It’s better if you go to her now and ask for her help. ” Cassius suggests.“ You said she won’t help me. Why are you asking me to go to her now? ” I raise my eyes to his, curiously.“ I don’t know...It just feels like she might help...because she is bored and she can do anything to get rid of her boredom. ” Cassius shrugs his shoulders.I watch him closely, contemplating whether it’s a good idea or not. Jerking my head, I sigh. “ I guess I should try. ”Cassius stays silent and

VIOLETI met everyone. Gysla, Cora, Elias, Viktor — my sweet, supportive friend, even Edward who turns out to be the newly appointed Orpheuns.Now I know what Leena meant by restoring the balance. It all started when Edward’s powers were snatched away from him and Katrina escaped before Edward could get to Orphena, and it is ending with him getting his powers back.I don’t feel bad anymore because Edward has a good vibe. He is nice to me and he loves Gysla.By the way, Gysla kept apologising for stabbing me and then Wolf but I have told her that if she hadn’t done this…Wolf and I would have lost each forever. Besides, it is all fate and we are pawns in this dangerous game — I don’t even feel salty about not having control of my life.I have…everything. Like the old man said.The happy faces around me only assure me of that everything that I needed and now, have gotten.Another thing has happened in a mere hour. With Edward’s arrival, everyone has found out that I am not the Orpheuns,
WOLFOne.Two.And three.The bathroom’s door bursts open on the count of three and Violet stomps out.Contrary to my over expectations, she has actually taken a bath before she has come stomping out. I don’t have to turn around and look at her to know this. She smells like her usual self and me.Her eyes try to drill holes in my head. I know why she is angry. My mark over my neck tells me all I want to know.Serves her right, I must say. She tricked me into getting marked and I have done the same, now we are childishly equal.“ You marked me. ” She states the obvious.“ I did. ” I nod my head and pick up the black dress shirt I had thrown over the bed earlier.“ How can you do this to me? ” She complains.I smirk, buttoning up my shirt. Turning around, I glance her way.Her small body looks cute wrapped in a towel and her red face only adds to the effect. But the love bites on her neck and my mark on her only turns me on, which is not helping my situation.I button up my last button
VIOLET“ If you are done feeling my presence in silence, you should get up and take a bath now. ” I speak after a while.“ You are right. ” He hums.His hand releases mine and I inhale sharply. Now I wish I hadn’t asked him to leave my hand.I shake my head internally and fold my arms over my chest. Wolf gets up from the bed and before I get the chance to say anything else, he picks me up, throws me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and begins to walk.My world turns upside down and I gasp, hitting his back with my fists. “ Put me down! ”“ You insisted on taking a bath. ” He continues to walk.“ I mean…you need to talk a bath. Not me! I already smell like flowers. ” I say, staring down at his back and his butt.“ I don’t like it. ” Wolf shakes his head and sighs.“ What? ” I question.My head is beginning to spin while my body sways with each step that he takes but I don’t really want Wolf to put me down.“ I like your natural scent. I don’t like you smelling like all these w
VIOLETIs this what ceasing to exist feels like? I am not sure.I can only focus on the fact that he is right in front of me, his lips pressed against my forehead and his breaths warming my hair.It feels surreal.I thought everything has ended but now I am here, hearing Wolf say that he loves me and I am his world. He is not acting overly excited or miserable either so I don’t know what’s going on.Although, I feel weak and this loss of energy makes me feel alive. Given that I spent so much time at Orphena, a year must have passed here since I died.“ Are you…not… ” I choke on my breath, trying to say something.One moment I was the most powerful being turning to dust and in the next, I am here, a weak girl lying in the bed, clueless about what is happening.What went wrong…or should I say right?“ Wolf…” I say his name and he separates himself from me instantly.The torment finally shows in his Golden globes and my breath gets knocked out of me.“ Don’t say anything. Stay silent fo
WOLFI should have known by the way she looked at me. I should have known that she was planning on taking my place all along. I should have known that she was silently reaching out to me, telling me about the future.Yet, I didn’t know until it was too late.The moment I stepped inside that portal, I felt a trigger going off in my head and I knew. It felt like a piece of me was breaking away, chipping away. I looked at her, tried to reach out and yet failed.After a while, my body jerked awake and a gasp left my lips. ‘Violet’. That’s all I could think about as I searched for her frantically and found her dead body lying close to me a week ago. What would you do for a loved one? I have known killing others was the only answer when it came to protecting and then avenging the people you loved.That’s why I instantly went into the killing mode the moment I heard my mother died. Years went by and I didn’t recover from that state of mind. The truth is…I never even considered everything
KANEI am sure I saw her lips part and then press together as if she had mouthed a word.Squinting my eyes, I lean closer to her face while my ears unconsciously search for her heartbeat.Just a hint, Violet. Give me something. I silently pray staring down her at her motionless face.My hands reach out to her face, touching it to feel the warmth, a spark of life in her.“ What happened? ” Cassius comes to me, questioning and looks over my shoulder.“ Her lips moved. ” I whisper dumbly.“ That’s not possible, Kane. ” Stefan comes on the other side of me, squeezing my shoulder.I shake my head, still touching her cheeks and listening in for her heartbeat. She is not breathing, her heart is not beating either but I…I saw her lips move.“ Kane. This is affecting you. Why don’t you go take some rest? ” Cassius suggests, getting worried about me.I don’t know what expressions they are seeing on my face right now to be wanting to send me away at a crucial time but I know what I saw.“ Her li
KANEIn my whole life, I have never truly believed in miracles. But I saw one happen a week ago when Wolf came back to life, when his dead heart started to beat again, when even the wound of silver healed on his body, when he opened his eyes and said only one word ‘Violet’.Then, he went silent. Didn’t say anything at all. Although he came back to life, his soul had died.I hadn’t really gotten over this miracle when I came to a realisation that even miracles required sacrifices.He came back and she left us.Was this any less horrible, any less painful, any less heart—breaking? No. When her heart stopped beating, I began to feel the exact way I felt when I saw Wolf die.I didn’t know what happened to her. I didn’t know how she suddenly died. She was not gravely injured and even her wounds had healed, then what happened to her? How did she die?I got the answer to that when Viktor’s mother came and then Edward came. She was dead yet she cared about the living and all the promises she
VIOLETGetting summoned to Orphena is a different experience than that of last time. Last time, I was so desperate and bothered that I didn’t even pay attention to my surroundings that much.This time, I can pause and admire the black ceilings, the black floor, the vast black table placed in the middle of the room and the same people sitting around it, because I have no fear, no desire, no tension. I am ready for whatever they have in store for me.Isn’t ceasing to exist far more better than staying stuck here for the rest of the eternity anyway? Hell yes, in my opinion.“ What excuse do you have this time? ” The boy yawns as if he is bored.I purse my lips before marching towards them and plumping down on the only empty chair.All the higher ups make it their job to glare at me, but refuse to say anything.I glance at the boy first. I don’t know his name — never asked.Then, I look at the old man. I don’t know his name either and the old lady who supported me last time…I don’t know
