I don't own The Hanging Tree. I hope you enjoy! Please review!
Violet POV
Violet lay in her cot in sickbay, recovering. May was reading her Peter Rabbit, when Skye came back. "Did you tell him that I'm ok?" Violet asked. Skye smiled and nodded. The little girl smiled and said, "Good. He was so worried." She looked at May and asked, "Could you please excuse us? I need to talk to Skye." May smiled and left.
"Skye?" Violet said. Yes? Her big sister wrote. "I know I'm not supposed to read people's minds without permission, but their emotions roll off of them sometimes without me even trying." Skye nodded, waiting for her to continue. "Mr. Hunter always feels something that I'm not sure what it is around Miss Bobbie. Mr. Coulson and Fizz feel the same way around May and Miss Jemma." Skye covered her mouth to keep from laughing.
Do you mean Fitz? She wrote, trying and failing not to laugh. Violet wasn't sure why Skye was laughing. "That's what I said." She told her big sister. "What is that feeling?" Skye stopped laughing. It's called love. She wrote. Haven't you felt it before? Violet nodded. "I just wasn't sure what it was called." She was lying. Violet hadn't felt anything like it until she met Skye and Ward.
"Mr. Grant feels the same way about you." Violet told her big sister. "Both of you love me too." I know that he loves me. Skye wrote. "You love him too." The little girl said. "Why is he stuck in the basement if you love each other?" Skye looked so surprised. Then she wrote, because he did very bad things. "He saved me twice." Violet countered. "He saved you too. Can't you forgive him?"
Skye didn't write anything, so Violet asked, "Can I go visit him? So I can say thank you?" Skye nodded. She picked up her little sister and carried her to the basement. Ward was sitting and thinking when the sisters came. "Thank you Mr. Grant." Violet said. "Thank you for saving me." Ward smiled. "You're very welcome, Violet."
"Can I sing a song for you?" The little girl asked. He nodded. "Think of a song." She told him. He was confused, but he did so anyway. Violet sang,
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say who murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run,
So we'd both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of hope,
Side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run,
So we'd both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say who murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Ward was astonished. "You can read minds?" He asked, incredulously. Violet smiled and nodded. "Thank you for singing." "You're very welcome." Violet said. With that, the sisters left.
