Chapter 1: Dream Eater
"Well? Should we tell her? She's going to find out eventually, and she's already thirteen." Esther bit her lip thoughtfully.
"I don't know, honey. Maybe we should. But...how about tomorrow? It's too late in the day to tell her. In fact, shouldn't she be in bed by now?" Sor asked her.
"Good point. Violet!" Esther called to her daughter.
"Yeah?" Violet's muffled voice came from the Door Room.
"Bedtime!"
"Kay!
Esther yawned.
"Sor, I'm going to bed too. It's always a long drive to Luna's, so I'm tired."
"Yeah, I'm going to bed."
Violet walked out the black portal.
She had shoulder-length auburn hair and hazel eyes.
"Night, Mom. Night Dad."
"Good night Violet." Esther smiled.
"Good night, Violet." Sor nodded at her.
Violet walked back out the black portal.
Esther and Sor waited a little while, then walked out of the black portal too.
They walked into the Door Room.
A medium sized door was to the left of them, so they walked up to it.
Above the door were carvings that said,
Mom and Dad's Room
Esther turned the door handle and opened the door.
She and Sor both walked inside.
Once they were inside, Sor closed the door.
Esther walked to the closet and yawned.
She opened the closet and took out a pair of pajamas.
Then, as she closed the closet door, she said to Sor,
"You know, honey, if you wore pajamas instead of shorts and a jacket, I'm pretty sure you'd be more comfortable in the night."
Sor walked into the bathroom and opened a drawer.
"Nah. Why bother? It's just one more thing to do that delays going into your cozy bed."
Esther rolled her eyes.
"Don't tempt me."
She pulled off her shirt and put on her pajama shirt.
Then she threw the shirt into the laundry hamper.
Then she pulled off her jeans and put her pajama pants on.
She threw her jeans into the hamper.
Sor reached into the drawer and pulled out his tooth brush.
He picked up his tube of toothpaste and brushed his teeth.
Once he was done, he climbed into bed.
Esther walked over to the bathroom and brushed her teeth too.
Then she walked over to the light switch and turned off the light.
Then she climbed into bed.
"Goodnight, sweetheart." Esther said.
"Good night, Esther."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
In the morning, Violet got out of bed and yawned.
She walked over to her closet and pulled out a purple T-shirt.
She looked at the floor where she had folded her shorts, and picked out a red one.
Then she put them on and walked out the door.
She walked to the left of her, where the black portal.
She stepped into it.
A few seconds later, she found herself in the Portal Room.
Her Mom and Dad where they're, sitting in chairs by the table.
By Violet's spot, where two chocolate chip waffles.
Violet grinned and sat down.
While she ate the waffles, she noticed that her parents were staring at her.
She stopped eating.
"Um...what? Did I do something wrong?"
Esther shook her head.
"Well, sort of no, sort of yes. Purple and red? Those don't go together."
Violet looked down at her clothes.
"Oh...I never know what goes together or not."
Sor shook his head.
"That's not what we need to talk about. There's...something we need to tell you."
Violet looked at both of them.
"You're getting divorced?"
Esther raised an eyebrow.
"No."
"I'm adopted?"
"No."
Sor glanced at his wife.
"Um, Esther, honey, why don't you tell her?"
Esther sighed.
"Fine. Violet, as you already know, or, I think you already know, you're not...normal. This whole family isn't normal."
Violet nodded slowly, unsure of where this was going.
"Well...you're a Dream Eater."
Violet stared at them.
"Um...what?"
So Esther and Sor told Violet their adventures of Bloody Snake and Dark, and told her what a Dream Eater was.
When they were done Violet stared at them.
There was silence.
Then Violet laughed nervously.
"Um, you're joking, right? This is just a made-up story."
Esther shook her head.
"So...I'm a Dream Eater. For real."
Sor nodded.
Violet took a deep breath.
"Well, ok. I guess I can live with that. If you guys destroyed the evil, then there's nothing to be afraid of, right? We will just live a normal life. Well, a sort of normal life."
Esther and Sor glanced at each other.
"Well, it's not as easy as that. We...we think it would be good for you to train, in case..."
Violet raised an eyebrow.
"In case...?"
"In case that more evil might try to come and kill you." Esther said quietly.
Silence.
Then Violet spoke.
"But...but you guys destroyed it, right? The evil is gone...gone! Right?!" Violet started to panic.
"Violet, Sor and I have been sensing an evil presence. The evil had come back. I'm sorry. But we will fight with you. And...and so will Aunt Luna and Uncle Riku. And Scarlet. And...maybe we can find more relatives to help us, but, Violet, we can win."
Violet slowly shook her head, then faster.
"No...no...NO! I'm not fighting. I am too weak. I am too small."
"Violet." Esther said gently.
"I'm NOT fighting! You said how Grandma Rosalina and Grandpa T.M. died in that war! You said how your friend Mickey died too! And they were Dream Eaters! I don't want to die! I don't want you to die! I don't want anybody in our family to die! I'm not going to fight! Nobody is! Maybe the evil won't bother us! Maybe they don't even know were here! Maybe they don't care were here!"
"Violet." Esther said again, gently, but firmly.
"What?" Violet stared at her.
"I'm sorry, I don't like this either, but we have to fight."
"I'm not, and I will never say I will."
"You will fight."
"I won't."
Esther shrugged.
"Ok. I guess you won't fight then. I'm not going to argue. It's your choice."
Violet groaned.
"I hate it when you do that!"
She got out of her chair and walked into the black portal.
Esther watched her go with sad eyes.
Sor massaged her shoulders and back.
"Don't worry. You handled it well. It's not your fault."
Esther sighed.
"Yeah. I know. But I still feel bad for her. I feel like it's my fault. Weird, I didn't react nearly as mad when I found out I had to save the world. Why does it always happen when your 13?"
Sor smiled sadly.
"Dunno."
Sor got up and stuck out his hand.
Esther took it and pulled herself up so she was looking directly into Sor's face.
Sor smiled into her face.
"Ah. Just look at those beautiful eyes."
Esther laughed.
"Yeah, right. I hate my eyes. It's like a little kid took all his crayons in one hand and scribbled all of them on a sheet of paper at once, making a heap of jumbled blah."
Sor laughed.
"Jumbled blah?"
Esther smirked.
"I don't have an eye color. So I didn't say jumbled color."
Sor smiled.
"I still think they're beautiful."
Esther smiled back and gave him a quick little kiss.
"Come on. Let's go train."
"Should we ask Violet to join us?" Sor asked.
"Nah. We should start on her training tomorrow. She has enough to think about today." Esther told him.
Sor smiled at her.
"Whatever you want."
Esther smirked at him.
"You're too agreeable."
Sor smiled at her again.
"Then why did you marry me?"
Esther laughed.
"Because I like men that are too agreeable."
With that being said, they went into the Training Room.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Violet cried into her pillow for an hour.
Then when she couldn't cry anymore she stood in front of the mirror.
Her body was small and thin.
She sighed.
She opened the door in her bedroom that led to the bathroom and stepped on the scale.
71
She sighed again.
She was thirteen, and she still weighed like a ten year old.
She had talked to her parents about her worries about her weight before, but they had always told her she was fine.
She was unusually small too.
Once, they took her to a doctor to ask him what he thought about her weight.
Violet would eat anything.
So she ate all the different varieties, but she never really grew.
She was home schooled, and she did gym class with Sor.
She was never really good at that.
She was always too weak and light.
There was one thing she was good at though.
Running.
She loved it. She would always run everywhere.
She was very fast. Not even Esther or Sor could run as fast as her.
Anyway, the doctor said he didn't know what was going on.
Violet walked out of the bathroom and turned of the light.
Then she closed the bathroom door and stood in front of the mirror.
She saw her puny self in the mirror and glared at it.
They're going to make you train tomorrow.
Herself glared back.
I'm NOT going to train! I'm too small and weak, anyway!
Violet raised an eyebrow at herself.
You have too.
Herself raised an eyebrow at her.
Unless...
Violet smirked at herself.
Unless...unless what, Violet?
Her self smirked back.
Unless...you run away. When you come back, they will be so sad that you ran away, they won't make you train!
Violet turned away from the mirror.
"Say! That's an idea!" She said to herself.
She opened up her closet and brought out her emergency box.
There was a note on it.
It read:
Dear Violet, WARNING! DO NOT RUN AWAY! You only run away if this is an emergency! Think carefully! I know how reckless and impulsive you are! I am you!
Violet read it and nodded to herself.
This is an emergency.
She ripped off the note and threw it in her trash can.
Then she took her black backpack and zipped it open.
She shoved the box inside and zipped it closed.
Then she took a deep breath and slung the backpack over her shoulder.
She went to her window and looked down.
Since they lived in a cloud, Esther and Sor taught Violet how to fly.
But since Violet was heading off to Aunt Luna's and Uncle Riku's to see if Scarlett wanted to come along on her little adventure, she had to fly in the clouded sky, for they lived in a little log cabin in a meadow in the human world.
She opened the window and jumped out.
And so she flew of, unaware of what horrible things laid ahead.
Well well well! What horrible things lay ahead for Violet?! What will happen when Esther finds out that Violet has run away?! And WHY am I asking you all these questions that you don't know the answer to?! See ya soon with another chapter!
