Chapter 3
THE CORNER CONVERSATION
We climbed out of the bus and were surprised when we saw a huge museum in the front of us the women named Anna introduced herself to the group by announcing her name. The group quickly walked inside, once inside I was pulled into a secret corner by Joseph ,who quickly proceed to ask me tons of questions about violet I didn't know the answers to.
"what does her hair smell like?" He questioned.
"How am I supposed to know that," I looked at him like he was crazy, " its not like I go around sniffing peoples hair."
Then just as if violet had planed it ,she came over and swished her hair. Though,of course she had to do it in the exact direction of Joseph. He suddenly looked as if he were drugged.
"OK, Joseph you can run along now, I need to talk to Violet," I said shoeing him away. He quickly ran off to find the other kids from the orphanage.
"So what do you need to talk to me about?" Violet said. As I turned to face her after shoeing Joseph off I saw Anna, Michael's mom, beckoning me over to speak with her and Teresa.
"I will be right back,"I said, " Don't move."
I ran over to Teresa and Anna. Before I could even say hello, Anna was shouting at me,"Who do you think you are!"
"Is that a rhetorical question, because if it isn't I would love to answer," I said with a devious smile. She then aimed to slap me across the face, but I caught her hand in mid-flight.
"Don't ever touch me," I growled in a tone I had never used before. I stared at her like I was the worst thing she could ever come across in the entire world. Her hand went limp in my grasp. Her face was in shock and looked like she had seen a demon of some sort.
"I'm sorry..." she tried to say, but I cut her off.
"Don't sorry me, that was not called for in any way!" I yelled in her face.I could see in the corner of my eye Teresa had backed up and was against the wall, looking shocked.
"Safire!" I heard someone scream. I turned to find violet. Michael was holding her in a choke hold.
"What are you going to do kill her?"I said in a sarcastic but cruel voice.
"Would you like me try?" He said gripping tighter on her neck.
"No!" I screamed as her eyelids started to close and her face started to blue. I dropped Anna's wrist I had still been squeezing and ran to Violet as Michael dropped her. She fell to the ground in a heap. I started to weep. Tears streaming down my face. Violet's eyelids opened and she looked at me.
"You were hurting Anna, why?," she asked in a whisper. I saw Michael crouch down next to violet, on the other side of her, and I looked at him.
"I'm sorry I..i..," I stammered, then out of nowhere I leaped over Violet and tackled Micheal to the ground and hugged him and to my surprise he hugged me back.
"It's OK," He coed, "Everything is fine." I finally broke down crying like a little two year old, in his arms.
"Why did I do that?" I managed to squeak out.
"I don't know, but I know who will."
"Who?" I said hope in my voice.
"A friend," he said. Obviously not wanting me to know who it was. I didn't pry though, I was to tired and scared of what I had just done.
"I need you to let go, so I can talk to my mom and see if she is alright," he said, after awhile of stroking my hair.
"OK" I said , letting him go.
"Tell her I am sorry," I whispered at him. He nodded and went to see his mother.
"Hey are you OK?" Violet asked. I hadn't even noticed that she had gotten up yet.
"Ya I am much better. What about you? He real choked you hard,"I said worry throughout my voice.
"Much better but you turned Anna's hand blue when you were squeezing her wrist," she said to me like she was astonished.
"Can we not talk about it, Micheal says he is going to get a friend who can help me deal with this stuff," I said not even looking at Violet.
"Ya I guess we shouldn't but one question..." she said waiting to see if it was OK with me.
"Ya I guess what is it?"
"What was with your eyes?"
"what do you mean?"
"They were black like, onyx black when you were angry and then these red flames were in them where you were scared," She looked at me expectant like I knew the answer right off the top of my head.
"I don't know what you are talking about?" I said not knowing if she was making this up.
"Come with me,"Michael said suddenly appearing at my side. Great timing, I thought.
"OK,"I said. He took my hand and suddenly we were thrown what felt like a ripping machine
but I found out was a portal when we found ourselves standing in what appeared to be a office.
