Second part. Sorry it took awhile before I posted this one. The next will come sooner.
The paramedics came, but it was too late to save Vito. Violet was in such a shock that she could barely speak, but she knew that she had to tell her mother. After speed dialing her house, Violet stood there in silence, as the phone rang. She saw that more paramedics arrived and were carrying people into their trucks. Many didn't survive-
"Hello?"
Violet's heart skipped a beat when she heard her mother's voice over the phone.
"M-M-M," Violet tried to speak.
"Violet, is that you? The phone showed it was," Her mother asked, as Violet swallowed and worked up the courage to speak again.
"M-Mother... yes, it's me Violet. Um, it's just that... Vito, he..." Violet began, as she started to cry again, but she placed her hand on her head so that she would calm down.
"Violet. Dear, what's wrong? What happened? Is Vito okay?" Her mother said as she began to show concern and some panic in her voice, which she tried to keep under control.
Violet shook her head, as she said, "No. T-There was a fire, right before I got there... Vito was in there. H-He burst through t-the door... he... he's gone..."
Violet leaned on the side of the ambulance where Vito was being kept, since they didn't leave yet.
Silence was on the other line... then a faint "No" was heard.
"Mother?" Violet asked.
"Violet... h-he can't be. He can't..." her mother said, and Violet replied,
"He is mother. He IS! He's gone... He said he loved us ma, and that he was glad that I was able to come! He... he... OH MOTHER!" Violet fell to her knees, as she sobbed.
Her mother's sobs were also heard on the other line.
It was a lonely time for both mother and daughter, as the night became darker around them.
After the paramedics drove away with Vito, Violet stood next to her car, sitting on the driver side half outside of the vehicle, and her head was leaning on her hands.
As Violet was slowly recuperating, she thought about her cousin, her mother, and their lives.
'He had dreams. He had hope. He was fun. He was smart. He was brave. H-He was sweet... why? Why did he have to suffer like that? W-Why did he have to die?' Violet thought.
Then, suddenly, she remembered something.
"Wait a minute! That man," she said out loud.
Violet's thoughts replayed the memory of the strange figure on the hill.
"That's right! Those little red things were with him. They were holding something..."
As Violet's mind delved deeper into her memories, she finally realized what they were holding, and what was near the fire.
"Those were gasoline cartons. That is what started the fire! He... He was the one who started it..."
Just as this realization hit Violet, another realization struck her mind like lightening.
"That SCYTHE!"
Violet reached into her backpack, and pulled out a little black book with a golden symbol of a phoenix outlined on it. The book was given to Violet by her mother, who said that it's contents contained information about certain things that were good, unusual, or evil.
As Violet flipped through the pages, she immediately stopped when she saw the same scythe the strange man carried drawn right in the book.
"Here it is," Violet said to no one in particular, and then she started to read about it:
"This weapon is given to those who seek retribution and stuff. It can give it's host great power when stabbed into the red heart of the holy statue. The powers given belong to a creature known as Smockula the Defiler, who uses the person as a host, while it's body parts are scattered to prevent this creature from being vulnerable. To remove the Scythe's curse, you must gather the missing pieces and show them to the host to bring forth Smockula. Then you should beat the living heck out of Smockula to break the curse on the host... unless you don't care about the host, then after you kill Smockula, you can finish them off... but not all of us have the same idea."
After reading this, Violet lifted her head up and looked towards where the strange man was. She stood up and continued to look. Suddenly, a heat began to travel up from Violet's feet, to her head. When the heat reached her head, Violet's face changed from sadness, to anger, and then to a raging fury.
"That man... that Freaking BEAST! He killed my cousin... how DARE HE!" Violet said, in anger, as she closed her book, turned her hand into a fist and held it before herself.
As her fist shook violently, Violet said, with much venom in her voice,
" He won't live to see another day! I'll find those pieces and put an end to Smockula! After that... I'll RIP HIS HEAD OFF! Whoever DARED to use Smockula's power, I'll Tear HIM To SHREDS!"
Violet jumped into her car, and drove off with a dangerous fire in her eyes.
She drove back to her job, where Karla was locking up. Karla noticed Violet's car, and she turned to the car when it pulled up.
"Hey Violet, what's going on?" Karla asked, as Violet lowered the window.
The atmosphere became grim, as Karla noticed Violet's stoic behavior.
"Can I use the garage for a moment. I need to get some stuff," Violet said plainly, as Karla decided not to ask her too much.
"Well, alright then, just make sure to close up shop okay?" Karla said, as Violet replied with a nodded.
"Alright. I'm going. See ya later," Karla said, as she put on her black biker helmet and walked over to her motorcycle that was parked next to the shop.
The motorcycle was red and black striped with a black banner on the back that said, in white letters, 'COOL IS ME.'
After she drove off, Violet pulled her car into the garage and parked it. She walked over to her station, and started packing some stuff in her backpack. She packed a variety of spray paints, a lighter, a torch, a taser, and a first aid kit. She also grabbed a pipe for an exhaust and carried it with her on hand.
After closing the shop, Violet opened her little black book from the back of the book on the last page. It was empty, but then Violet closed it and held that spot with her fingers and said,
"Show me the closest piece."
When she opened the book after it flashed gold, the empty page showed the first piece, located at St. Sanders Cemetery.
"So that's my first destination," Violet said, as she put her little black book in her pocket and headed off to the cemetery.
-Fast Forward to St. Sanders Cemetery-
Violet came to a distinct point of the cemetery. Her book was glowing brighter as she approached a metal barred door. After entering the door and passing through to the end, Violet came across a very grotesque creature that was said in her book to be known as 'The Gory Mound.'
"EW! What the freak is that?" Violet said, as she watched the creature roar out and more monsters came.
'What kind of sickness is this? Ugh! It doesn't matter. I have to get that heart piece,' Violet thought, as she prepared herself to fight the monster.
-After about fifteen minutes-
Violet was running out of that place, panting. The Gory Mound was pretty tough, and she didn't have the right equipment to kill such a beast, so she had to flee.
After running past the metal barred door and shutting it, Violet screamed out in frustration.
"AAAHHH! Are you kidding me?! What am I suppose to do? I can't kill that thing by myself! I don't have enough weapons! If I would've known... AAH!"
Violet sat down on the floor next to door, as she tried to think of some way to get the pieces without getting kicked.
"How can I collect his pieces?" Violet thought out loud.
Suddenly, the little black book glowed brightly, which caught Violet's attention, as she pulled out her book and opened it up.
"What the what?!" Violet said, as she saw in her book, a group of paramedics trying to resuscitate the band Charlie Murder.
"How? Who killed them-"
Violet was cut short when she saw the perpetrators: A vampiric woman, a Viking man, a demonic beast, and a dark man with a scythe. Violet's eyes widened when she saw the man with the scythe, and her rage grew.
'That's him,' Violet thought.
Then the little black book revealed a name under his picture that read 'Lord Mortimor.'
'That's his name huh? Pst, not impressed,' Violet thought in annoyance of seeing her cousin's murderer in the book.
After Lord Mortimer and his gang left, Violet saw the band Charlie Murder rise up.
'They're alive?!' Violet thought, as she saw them running off after Gore Quaffer.
"What a minute... they're heading... here- that's it!" Violet said out loud, as she closed the book and stood up.
'They can get the pieces,' Violet thought, but then she heard a rumble, as she saw a grotesque hand pop up from one of the graves.
"HOOLLYY WHAT?!" Violet said, as she hopped back.
More hands started to pop up from the graves, as the moaning of the undead started to fill the air.
'Oh snap!I can't stay here. But I have to tell them,' Violet thought, as she turned to the gray brick wall next to the metal barred door.
"... Wait, yes. Yes! That's it too!" Violet said, as she quickly flung her backpack to the floor and rummaged through her stuff.
She took out two spray paint cans and started to spray the wall. She would occasionally reach back into her bag to grab a new color, and then she would spray the wall with two cans at the same time. After she was done, Violet put her cans into her backpack, zippered it up, and flung it onto her back.
As more of the undead rose up from their graves, Violet took one last look at the painted wall. It showed a heart with wings, and in large letters was written 'Find His Pieces.'
"I hope they see it," Violet thought out loud, as she saw the zombies walking towards her.
'I gotta go. Maybe I can find the next pieces on the way,' Violet thought, as she sprinted out of the cemetery.
-Fast Forward to Hermits refuge-
"My gosh! What are all these creatures?!" Violet yelled out, as she ran out of the cave she was in.
"I already thought bugs were disgusting, but this is ridiculous! She was HUGE!" Violet thought out loud.
'Well, I can always leave them a message,' Violet thought, as she shook one of the spray cans she pulled out of her bag and began to create the same message on the wall as before, but it was an eyeball with wings instead of a heart.
'I hope they see this one too,' Violet thought, as she ran ahead.
-Fast Forward to Camp Falconbats-
Violet stood outside of the camp, as she saw the hippies ahead frolicking in the forest (well that's how she saw them). With an unamused expression, Violet immediately took out her spray cans and sprayed the wall with the same message as before, but with a winged liver.
'I'm not even going to bother with this one,' Violet thought, as she continued on the road.
-Fast Forward to Direblade Plaza-
'A freaking sewer, how wonderful,' Violet thought, as she smacked a few giant rats with her metal pipe.
As she made her way through some obstacles and more giant rats, Violet came across a large beast with chains wrapped around his head and larger ones around his hands.
"Okay beastie, bring it on!" Violet said, as she started to fight with the Chained Monstrosity.
-About ten minutes later-
"Darn you, you giant beast!" Violet yelled out, as she threw her pipe at the Chained Monstrosity.
It didn't have much of an effect, except for leaving Violet without a weapon. Realizing this error, the Chained Monstrosity roared and started swinging his chain at her. Violet gasped, as she ran away from the beast.
'Why did I throw it away?!' Violet mentally scolded herself, as she jumped and rolled away when the Chained Monstrosity attacked with a chain whip.
'Darn it! I almost had him,' Violet thought, as she escaped.
When she made it to the ladder, Violet started to quickly spray paint the wall.
'Wait, how are they suppose to see this if it's underground?' Violet thought, and then she face-palmed.
Violet packed her spray paint and climbed the ladder up to where the Forbidden Quill was.
"There's a pretty good wall," Violet thought, as she ran over to another wall and sprayed it, with a bloody tooth.
"Okay, next is the last one," Violet thought out loud, as she grabbed her book and opened it up.
-Fast Forward to Binelake Dock-
Violet looked out to the open water from the wooden dock. She pulled from her pocket, a diamond scale which she added a rope to, to wear as a necklace.
'Let's see what's down here,' Violet thought, as she jumped into the water.
-About ten minutes later-
Violet was back on the dock, soaking wet, and coughing.
"Freaking beast -cough!- he knocked the scale off -cough- but I made it back here... ugh!" Violet said, as she stood up and walked over to some storage containers.
'Here's a good spot,' Violet thought, and then she painted a brain with fangs on the container and the same message as before.
'These monsters are tough. I almost got that one too if it wasn't because of the diamond scale. I can't let this happen again. When I see him, I can't fall short,' Violet thought, as she slammed her fist into the storage container.
"I will get him. I WILL get him... and I'll kill him," Violet said, as she turned and walked away.
However, her book began to glow again, so she opened it up. Something fell out from the book and landed on the ground. Violet jumped back, but then she saw that a knife, with a very pointed tip and a black and golden striped handle, stood on the ground. She walked towards the blade, and picked it up, examining it. Then, a small smile on Violet's face turned into a devious grin, as she put her book into her back pocket.
"This will get the job done. Thank you little black book," Violet said darkly, as she continued her mission with an evil sort of smirk on her face.
