Aurelia's Tear
As the coffin was lowered into the grave, the young brunette wept. Tears fell from her deep blue eyes as she watched the coffin containing her one true love fall down into the gritty abyss that awaited it. A small hand slipped into hers and she was dragged away by a familiar white-haired girl, leading her back to the parked car. As they drove away, she watched the site of the burial in the hope of a miracle, but no such luck. He was dead, and there was no escaping that. She would just have to live with it. The harsh reality hit her again and she was bawling and screaming in the back seat of the car, not caring who saw. She had met him in the video games shop, their eyes meeting as they both scrambled for the same game. He had played the gentleman, proposing that she take it, but only if she agreed to meet him for a coffee. She had laughed and politely agreed to meet him, and they both discovered that they had a lot in common. For Violet Baudelaire, she never thought that she would find someone to look after her.
Violet remembered all these memories in the car and it took a good ten minutes before Jack Starbright and Alex Rider could coax her out of the car. Her younger sister Fuchsia helped too, comforting her in French. Violet Baudelaire heard none of this however, all she could hear was his voice, over and over, and she wished more than ever that Damian Hunter wasn't dead.
'Do you think she will get over it?' Tom Harris whispered to Jack.
'She will feel better in time, but the pain will linger on. I still haven't forgotten my brother's death, and neither has Robin.' Jack replied, still gazing at the curled up Violet on the sofa, who was sobbing into a cushion. After a silent dinner where nobody ate much or spoke, Jack suggested the idea that everybody should get some sleep, and no one objected. Alex threw a throw blanket over a silently weeping Violet, his heart heavy with remorse. Damian shouldn't have died, and now to make it worse his friend Violet was in the same pain Alex knew all too well. Mourning sucks.
I know it's really short but I wanted to make sure there was some interest before I carried it on. There are a few new characters and there are plenty of old faces too. Please Review. D
