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
VIOLET“ It’s time, Violet. Best of luck. ” Kane huffs, walking away from me.I watch his retreating back as my heart drums in my ears. The food I ate earlier is ready to spurt out of my mouth any moment. My guts are twisting because of the nervousness.I didn’t know how hard it would feel when the time to shift will finally come.“ Is it going to hurt too much? ” I ask the same question from Wolf who is standing behind me.“ It will hurt but you will get over it soon. ” He assures me while his fingers trace the outline of my hand to keep me calm.After I talked to Leena, I returned to the cabin and fell sick. I had high fever, cold and a headache which threatened to crush my skull. These were all the symptoms according to Wolf and he said I will be fine just as I shift.Shift? Into a wolf? He makes it sound so easy but it doesn’t seem so easy because I practically feel like dying due to this nervous feeling.So now, Wolf and I are standing in the middle of the forest. The moon is shi
VIOLET‘ I want to run through the forest. ’ Lia declares and turns around.I feel like I am caged in my own body at first as Lia begins to run. I have almost no coordination with her movements.“ Violet. ” Wolf calls me out from behind.Lia doesn’t stop when he calls and breaks out in a run. The trees whiz past me — or maybe — us.Sooner than I anticipated, I feel like her body and mine is becoming one — coordinating efficiently.I feel what she feels, sense what she senses. The freedom which courses through my veins as Lia carries us both through the forest into an unknown direction is unlike anything I have experienced before.Her paws hit the ground, dust flying around and strangely, I can see every single speck of it. Although we are running fast, if I focus enough, I can see all the trees and the tiniest of their details.My head pounds with anxiety.‘ I think we should stop now. ’ I suggest.‘ You don’t feel well. ’ Lia comments.Before I say anything, a figure appears before u
VIOLET“ How long are you planning on staring at me like this? ” I hum, turning to face him.Wolf blinks his eyes rapidly as if he broke out of a daze and now he is trying to understand what he had been doing for a while. His heart is beating at a normal rhythm and it’s impossible to tell what he is thinking or feeling.“ Here! ” He sighs, pushing his hands forward.I take the bottle of shampoo, conditioner and body wash from him. He doesn’t wait another moment and instantly turns around to storm out of the bathroom only to meet face first with the wall.“ Eeeee. ” I wince when his face hits the wall and creates a disturbing noise.Wolf glares at the wall before he steps out of the bathroom and closes the door behind him, as quietly as possible.A grin stretches across my lips. I never thought he can be so clueless as to collide with…a wall.My shoulders shake as my grin turns into a silent chuckle.All of a sudden, Leena’s voice echoes in the head. I recall everything she said when I
VIOLET “ And who gave you this idea? ” He breathes right above my lips after pulling back once more. I roll my eyes and pull at his hair again to have his lips against mine. I don’t want to answer, don’t want to lie. I just want him to mark me or for me to mark him. It will work either way. Gripping my lower jaw, he tilts his head as if he gave up on his question. I release his hair and bring my hands down to cup his face, making sure that I meet every stroke of his lips and his demanding tongue. My heart is beating uncontrollably fast and his heartbeat is not in any better condition either. I don’t know if it’s fear or if it’s the deep urge gnawing at my guts, to hold him closer, to have him in any way I can despite the consequences that may follow which makes my heart beat this fast. Passionate, intense, hot…These words are not enough to describe how the kiss actually feels. Wolf is the one to pull away this time too. He breathes against me and his eyes darken visibly. “ You
