Bloody Thorns
Chapter 5- Daddy
Viola smiled slightly, knowing she could do this. After all, she only had to switch bodies with her. Right? That cat had gave her a strange potion, and he had told her the effects. Apparently this bottle held "Ellen's despair". Viola was not quite sure as of what that meant, but the Demon had told her not to worry. The Demon had also been grinning, knowing that Ellen had only given Viola more of a reason to live. Viola needed her father, and now that Ellen had taken that from her she would have to fight to get it back. And Viola of course knew this. Their "friendship" was meaningless. Or so Viola thought...
Viola marched through the forest, wearing a frown upon her face. This would end, and when it did, she would be reunited with her father. That was all she cared for. She clenched and unclenched her fists, raven black hair covering her face. Never had Viola felt so furious in her life. It was actually hard to believe a bright person like her could become so angry and spiteful!
The Demon... 'pitied' her, though. Loyal to her father even after all of the torment she went through. Tsk, it was as amusing as it was pitiful, he supposed. Lurking within the inky black shadows, his golden optics gleamed brightly as he surveyed his surroundings. It was not long before his attention was back on Viola, though. He had to make sure she at least got there, correct? Ah, yes. She had to continue this little game.
It was not long until Viola was at the house, and a sudden wave of nausea and worry had washed over her. Was this reality? Was she really going to kill her best fr- No. What could ha ve been her best friend. They could have been true friends... Viola smiled wryly. Ellen had to ruin that chance, though.
Viola took a quiet, yet deep breath as she raised her shaking fist, knocking on the door. She waited for a good few minutes before realizing she must have knocked too quiet for anyone to hear. Repeating the action, she called out, "H-Hello? Is anyone home?", her voice barely above a whisper.
This time, there was a shout heard from inside, which was something along the lines of "One minute!", and within a minute or two the door opened slowly.
Viola's eyes, or rather Hikari's eyes, widened in shock. There he was, perfectly fine. Tears began to form in Viola's eyes, and she stepped forward to embrace the man that she hadn't seen in what felt like an eternity. Her father, her 'daddy'.
Upon seeing the strange girl crying, Travis frowned. He wondered who she was, why she was here, if she was lost, and many other questions. He crouched so that his eyes met Viola's. "Who... Who are you? Are you lost, by any chance? Where is your mother and father?" his voice was soft and gentle, concern clear in his chestnut brown coloured eyes.
Viola nodded, wiping her tears away, despite wishing it was her father doing so. She scrambled to remember the girl's name. The girl's body she took... The owner of this body... Her name was... "H-Hikari. I'm Hikari. A-And yes, I'm lost. I'm actually looking for my daddy. Mommy is... Well, she's been gone for a long, long time," Viola said. It hurt to admit it, but she really was looking for her daddy. But now, she found him.
Viola's father nodded. "So, they are gone, correct?" he mused, which earned him a nod from the girl. "In that case, I don't see any harm in letting you stay for the night. I am sure that Viola wouldn't mind." Travis smiled, allowing "Hikari" to enter her old house.
Of course I wont mind, daddy. I'd be more than welcome to come back to my old house. To you. I'd also like for you to let me be your daughter again, Viola had thought. She watched as her father shut the door, and she gazed around. It was time to find Ellen. It was time to find her, kill her, and get her life back. It was especially time to get her daddy back.
As "Hikari" left to go find Ellen, Travis swore he heard her mutter something as she passed him.
"I love you, daddy."
Hooray, it's finally done! I know you're probably not satisfied with this, but I'll be making another tomorrow or Monday. I also thought this was worth a mention- In the normal end, when Viola's dad says "Stand back, Viola", Viola (in Ellen's body) backs up a little as well before he shoots her. That makes everything even more sad considering Viola (in Ellen's body) most likely thought her dad was going to spare her, or realize that Ellen (in Viola's body) wasn't his real daughter. Or you can think of it in a different way.
I'm glad to be continuing this story again. However, I don't have a specific schedule for making these chapters. Whenever I feel in the mood for writing, I write. So I can't promise you I will have it by so-and-so date.
Also, this was a day late than when I said it was going to be uploaded! I actually finished yesterday but uploaded today. Sorry about that. *Hides behind a table* Please don't kill me, please don't kill me!
Oh, and please review. I know this story has a lot of flaws, but I just want everyone to know that it is basically a "What if" this happened, or "What if" that happened. Once again, thanks for reading and being patient. I know you waited almost a year for this, and I really, really am sorry. I shouldn't have started it at the beginning of the school year.
