VIOLET
“ Okay. You already knew that, didn’t you? Then why are you worrying about it now? ” I step inside the office and slowly walk to the table.
“ You are right. I thought we will still have a lot of time even after you turned eighteen but now I am realising that we can’t wait until you learn to master all your abilities. ” Wolf sighs and looks away.
I take a seat on the chair in front of Wolf and relax back a little.
“ Something must have happened to make you think of all this so sudden. ” I voice out my thoughts, not wavering from the original question.
It’s scary to me that I can now easily talk to him and I can force myself to push all the memories at the back of my mind so they never resurface and interfere with these peace—making path we are walking down.
“ Just like this pack…” Wolf starts and looks me straight in the eye. “ I had m
VIOLETI look at Wolf for a while, my eyes fixed at his.“ What relationship did you have with Katrina? ” I can’t help but ask the question which was struck in my mind for a while.Wolf’s eyes harden. I might have crossed the line.I nod my head to myself and get up from the chair. “ I understand. It’s one of the things you don’t want to talk about. ”“ Yes. ” Wolf is quick to reply.I feel disappointed. It won’t be wrong to say that I still expected him to prove me wrong and tell me about this too like the many things he had revealed to me.“ What is your plan exactly? ” I lift my head and my eyes collide with his again.A moment of silence passes between us. I watch him thinking the question through.“ Once you master all your skills, I will
VIOLETI wait for Cassius. Time seems to have slowed down. The eerie noises of the frightening, dark forest cause my hair to rise on their ends many times, but I continue waiting for Cassius to come and take me back to the town.But as more time passes and the forest begins to seem more terrifying, I start to lose the hope that he is returning any time sooner.Still, I wait for him, my knees pulled to my chest, my arms wrapped around my knees as I scan the surroundings.To my surprise, my vision has cleared a bit and I can now make out most of the things around me. Perhaps, my eyes adjusted to the darkness after spending too much time here.I inhale deeply and place my chin over my left knee.‘ He is not going to come back. ’ The male voice whispers in my head for the uncountable time.The spirit’s voice has been saying the same thing to me from the time Cassius has left me behind. This voice is the
VIOLETA loud growl makes my eyes snap open. My heart jumps in my throat and I jolt up.Goosebumps rise all over my skin when I scan the surroundings with scared eyes.Another growl pierces the air, making my heart tremble in my chest.Is it Cassius? Or someone else? But did they have to take their wolf form?I gulp and try to calm my rapidly beating heart by placing my hand over my chest.Slowly, I get up from the hard ground and look around me to find out where the wolf is. Everything seems dark once again. It’s hard for me to make out everything.I hear the twigs breaking from behind me and instantly turn around to see what’s there.I can make out the silhouette of the animal stalking towards me. I breath deeply.It must be someone from the pack.A voice snickers in my mind all of a sudden, confusing me.“ Are you…” Is it stupid of me to try to talk t
VIOLETNothing happened as I expected — which is quite normal and doesn’t even surprise me anymore.I wake up when the rays of bright sun heat up my face, making me feel like I am being barbecued.I am in hell.My whole body is burning up, my eyes feel heavy just like my head. I try to open my eyes, but the dried blood is acting like glue and it’s nearly impossible to see anything.I lift my right hand and touch my cheek. It’s double the normal size which means it’s swollen.I bring down my hand and close my eyes again. All my movement ceases like I am a robot instead of a — I don’t know what to call myself. Not human, not witch, not werewolf, not a mere Oracle.Let’s just say I am somewhere in between all of them. Period.
VIOLETI am back in the same place — The darkness spread all across me. I am sitting on what feels to be a hard and cold floor.For the first time, I see a door in front of me. It’s white and Golden and it stands out in the surrounding darkness.Although I see the door, I still can not move from my spot.The eery silence fills my figure, making me sigh to myself.It’s a dream — a nightmare. I know, but it always feels too real to be just a nightmare.From my right side, I see a figure dressed in white gown floating toward me. She is far from me, but I know she is my Mom.She floats closer to me and sits down beside me in silence. I turn to look at her and see her lips move, words forming and falling but never reaching my ears.I hardly ever hear anything in this dream. I can only ever feel and see. And right now, it hurts to see her.
VIOLETWolf’s muscles become tense at my question. His eyes slowly move to mine and he instantly looks away as if he is scared that he won’t be able to tell me anything if he continues looking at me.“ Uh—Wolves don’t usually leave their territories…you know. ” His voice is a mere whisper, not that usual powerful and dominating at all.“ You are hiding something right? ” I muse, a smile threatening to break on my lips.His ears turn red and his eyes become wide. I caught him,.“ Yes. ” He blurts, keeping his gaze fixed at the wall. Then, he instantly corrects himself. “ I mean No. Of course not. I am not hiding anything. ”“ Believable.” I whisper, the smile finally spreading on my lips.A wave of pain travels up my left arm, reminding me of my condition and my smile falls.
VIOLETWolf breaks out of the trance and hangs his head low before walking towards me. When the sparks begin to claim my body, lulling my mind into a state of calmness, I close my eyes again.The bed dips from my right side, the sparks getting stronger.Wolf’s hand touches my right shoulder. I clench my right hand into a fist and squeeze my eyes harder to bear with it.A sigh escapes his lips, the hotness fanning my forehead.Wolf pushes his hand under my neck, his touch carrying the burning electricity and the threat of making me tick again.Surprisingly, I am holding back pretty good as if those previous emotions don’t exist at all.Wolf helps me up and sits down beside me.“ It will be done in a moment. You won’t have to bear this much longer. ” He whispers close to my ear, ma
VIOLETJust as Wolf left, I went back inside my room and thought a lot about what those voices were saying. The fear that something is going to happen to him makes me nervous and the hunch is so strong that it’s hard for me to let go.A knock sounds on the door after a while and then the door opens, revealing Gysla holding a tray filled with food and fruits.“ You need to regain your energy. ” She tells me as she walks toward me.I eye the food and my stomach instantly grumbles, giving away how hungry I am.Gysla smiles down at me and then places the tray on the bed in front of me. I look down at the food and the negative feeling threatens to swallow me once more.“ You seem to know a lot about me. ” I comment, still staring at the tray.She knows what I am referring to. She knew what kind of powers I had and Wolf seems to know too, but how can they know all of this when they have p
