You're shifts over; it's time to go home. The man tapped a security guard that was snoring quietly. Wake up.
Huh? Oh, shifts over. Okay. Nothing's been happening. I thought I saw some movement over at the backroom, but it was nothing.
Thanks. I'll check it out again.
Yeah, whatever. You're wasting your time, not mine so I couldn't give a damn. The guard walked out of the room. As the new security guard sat down, he saw a flash in the backroom.
Damn it. He got up and walked to the back room where the objects not on display were. He put the flash light on and walked around, looking for what was in there.
Voilà The guard spun around to see himself face to face with a grinning white mask.
You! You're-you're-
Shorter than you expected? I get that. Violet said, before hitting him in the chest with the handle of the knife and knocking him to the ground. Evey had told her not to kill anyone, so that the victims could pass the story on. Violet accepted and left him lying there. With a laugh, she ran off to go rescue Evey.
Stay right there. The cops will be here in a minute. She heard a loud voice say.
What else, apart from staying right here am I meant to do when you have handcuffed me to a table bolted to the ground? Evey spat back. And what charges are you laying? I was here to have a look around the museum. That is not a crime last time I checked.
I'm not blind. You're Evey Hammond. You and you're freaky buddy are the ones that the Government is looking for and is probably paying big money as well. So don't try to scam your way out, because I'm not that stupid.
Violet walked up to him, and tapped him on the shoulder. This one was even taller, but so flabby it would be easy to take him out.
You certainly look stupid to me. She told him.
You look taller on the telly.
I was sitting down you imbecile. And she spun and kicked him in the stomach. He looked like he hardly felt it and grabbed her ankle.
I am not an imbecile. He growled, before pushing her to the ground. Violet slid over to where Evey was tied up and slashed the handcuffs with the knife. Evey jumped up and slammed her wrist against the guard's head, knocking him out.
Well done. Violet said to Evey, laughing. They walked out of the museum, with the knowledge that they would later be on the evening news.
You make a wonderful V. But, he was taller and had a deeper voice. And he quoted Shakespeare and others a lot.
I haven't read any Shakespeare. Violet said. Evey stopped suddenly.
Well then, it is time to educate you in English culture. She said, before dragging Violet back to the Shadow Gallery.
They had spent the afternoon reading Macbeth and Violet decided that she thoroughly enjoyed it.
Violet jumped off the bed that they had been sitting on and pulled her sword out. I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none. She said, and through her arm to the air. Freedom forever.She then whispered and collapsed back onto the bed.
Don't try to be to like V. He sacrificed himself so that others could live with themselves.
So he's like a modern day Jesus. Violet said.
Oh, I wouldn't put it like that. Evey could imagine V saying. She saw the smile and remembered when he had said that line to her; on her first morning in the Gallery.
I wouldn't put it like that. Evey said. She smiled sadly and got up. If you don't mind Violet, I'm going to go take a nap. Feel free to do whatever you like. Evey got up and retreated to V's room.
Violet nodded sadly before grinning and rushing off to find the Guy Fawkes mask. She looked at the knives that lay beside it, and decided to leave them. Evey told her not to be too much like V, and she fought better with her sword anyway. She put the wig and cape on, tying the back of the mask as she walked out. She put on the boots that Evey had found for her and walked out the door.
Violet had been walking for half an hour, and had not seen anyone. She remembered that the curfew was still in session and grumbled. After a while she saw a man sitting in the park, holding his head in his hands. Intrigued and bored, she went over to investigate.
Who's there? The man asked as she got in closer. Violet closed her eyes and cursed herself. She was sure that V was never found; he only showed himself when he wished to. The man turned around and saw Violet standing there. You.He said softly. But you're dead. I saw you.
Men die. Ideas do not. They live on forevermore as will I until anarchy is established in London. Violet said. The man looked confused. I am trying to bring down the Government, and it is men like you who stand in my way and give no reason for it.
I did not stand in your way. I allowed Evey to send the train off that had V's body in it to Parliament, which blew it up.
Ah. You must be Inspector Finch. A pleasure to meet you.Finch shook her hand, and caught a glimpse of her sword.
Children should not be playing with sharp objects. He commented.
And neither should you. My temper is very short, and this sword helps me take out my temper on other people; so it is you, dear Inspector who is playing with sharp objects that he has no control over.
Sorry, Miss-? Finch asked.
V. The idea is V and as long as I am part of the idea I am V. She said.
Ah. Well then, would you take me to see Evey. She told me that I can go see her if I'm in great peril, and it seems there is no greater peril that being with you.
Oh. Well now you're just being rude. Okay, follow me, but keep up. Violet said, before running off. Once they had reached the Gallery, Finch was out of breath.
Is that you inspector? Back so soon? Evey said, as they walked in.
Yes. It seems your… friend, was putting herself in danger by being out by herself after curfew so I brought her back. I assumed you knew her.
That is such a lie! Violet exclaimed.
Thank-you Inspector.Evey said, before pulling the wig off Violet's hair. Violet, would you mind go putting the things back? I don't really want them lying around everywhere. This place was tidy and I hope it stays like that.
Violet? Finch said. V. Violet. You certainly are full of surprises Miss Hammond.
And what do you mean by that inspector? Evey asked. Finch looked embarrassed.
I'm assuming that yourself and V had a child. Evey laughed.
No, inspector. I found Violet this morning just after you left, fighting two Fingermen. We've just become friends.
Oh, sorry.
It's fine, but I'm curious in what makes you believe that V and I would have been that close.
I'm not sure. I just had a feeling.
Oh. Okay. Well Inspector, thank-you for escorting Violet back, but I think you should leave. It is getting late. Evey said, escorting him to the door.
Don't you trust me in here Miss Hammond?
I'm sorry, but I don't trust people who work for our Government. Evey said stiffly before she pushed him out the door. Good-bye Inspector.
…V…
Longer! Yay! The chapters are at a new place each time, so it depends on the legth of the scene to how long the story is… Review!
