Violet had been lacing up her boot while listening to music. Apparently Marcel was going to send her out on a mission and she had to get into the mood for it. What he didn't know was that she had fed on two people that morning and dumped their bodies in the swamp. Josh had also brought her car back from the garage as she had the Ferrari painted to suit her more. She was dying to see what it looked like so she was more than willing to go on this mission. Sofya's bedroom door popped open which prompted Violet's head to snap up.
"Hey…Haven't seen much of you lately. I hope you're not mad at me from that one night" Violet said referring to the night she went to bail Marcel out of the dungeon. The vampire was the last thing on her mind but she still wondered where she had been.
"Yeah well I had an old friend come visit so I had been spending time at his places" Sofya had looked Violet over; little did she know that was a complete lie. "Going somewhere?"
Violet grabbed her phone from the table and stopped the music. "Yeah, wanna join? Marcel asked if I could go out looking for some bone from this Hollow girl or whatever. It doesn't sound like much fun but if you like a blonde with an appetite in a hot car you're in luck"
The two girls had been driving down an empty side road with plenty of scenery; they were in the middle of a forest. Violet of course was driving as she would never let anyone else drive especially with her own car. She enjoyed having the window down, the wind blowing her hair, she felt free. She felt that she was in a good spot at the moment because she had everything going for her. Sofya on the other hand was rolling up her window not exactly sharing the same attitude. She did seem different.
Violet reached for the radio and turned on some radio station that was playing rock music. Every once and a while she had to glance at her phone to follow the GPS. Sofya reached forward and turned the music down.
"I was listening to that song if you don't mind…"She thought it was going to be interesting with Sofya, not boring.
"So I hear that you and Marcel are once again a thing, is that true?" She turned a little in her seat to face the blonde vampire who smirked a little.
"Where did you hear that from? Your friend?" In New Orleans especially the Quarter word got around fast. If it was something important such as that…
"The streets speak, is it true though?" Violet glanced in her direction clearly wondering why she was pressing on the matter. Sofya smiled slyly at her. "Not jealous or anything if that's what you're thinking, I'm just wondering if now that makes you a Queen and a target"
It was in fact complete truth about Violet being a Queen and target at once. That was always a bad thing once she was close again with Marcel and back in the city. Enemies of his became hers and it was easy for people to target her. A way to a man's heart is to rip away everything he has which included her.
"I mean yeah I guess we're something…I really didn't think it was that much of a big deal considering our history around here" Violet felt her phone ring in her hand and noticed it was Marcel calling. "Speak of the devil…" She answered and set it up on the car to have it on speaker. "Hey…"
"So you finally got out of bed and went looking for this bone I see" He could hear the wind hitting the phone so he knew she was in the car.
"Oh shut up I had to get dressed and look through the clothes you bought to put something together. Besides you didn't want to get up either if memory serves me correctly. We could have laid there longer…"She paused forgetting that Sofya was sitting next to her. Even though she would love nothing more than everyone to know they were dating, she still felt that everything needed to be private. "So what's up? Why the phone call?"
"Well for starters I'm with Elijah looking for another bone…" Violet cut Marcel off before he could continue.
"You're with Elijah? Hell froze over I'm assuming since you are in a tagging with him, lucky for you I've got a partner of my own. Oh and Josh brought my car back so I didn't have to take your fancy sports car"
Marcel again went to speak but Elijah commented something that he hoped Violet didn't hear. Of course she did and countered something back to him. He sighed heavily trying to talk over her. "What did you need done with your car now?" He was clueless that it wasn't even there.
"I had in painted duh; I told you like yesterday that Josh took the car for me. He wanted to drive it because I don't think he's going to jump into a purple car" She said completely dropping the arguing with Elijah.
"You had your car painted purple? A purple Ferarri? Violet you've got to be kidding right? A girl named Violet driving a violet colored car…" He found it humorous as did everyone else when it came to her and the color. As much as she complained she hated it, she sure wore purple a lot.
"Shut up Marcel if you want a car from a video game than I can have a custom car too. What exactly are you calling for again?"
Sighing heavily once again he spoke. "This Hollow thing is now trying to body hop its way around the city. Two of your favorite Originals figured this out and…Wait did you say someone is with you?" It didn't dawn on him until that moment.
"Yeah I picked up Sofya, well she actually volunteered to come with him so it's just us. Josh had a little date to go on like who goes on a date in the morning anyway?" Sofya had been quiet the whole time and instead seemed to be interested in the conversation.
"Am I on speaker?" He questioned.
"Obviously if I'm driving. What did Klaus and Elijah find out?"
Marcel needed to tell her something that was important but Sofya couldn't hear what was said. He hesitated thinking of anything to say. "I think we just found the other bone, I'll tell you later it really isn't that important"
He hung up without saying another word and quickly began typing on his phone. "Well bye to you to then" She said looking at the directions.
"How did they find the bone so fast? Where could they even be?" Sofya asked looking now at Violet. She glanced out of the corner of her eye. Violet shrugged then felt her phone buzz in her hand.
The Hollow is possessing Sofya, she isn't herself anymore. You need to get out of the car now.
Violet read the text and nearly pressed on the breaks hard. She thought her mind was deceiving her but she knew she read it correctly. It would explain why Sofya was so eager to join her and pressing on matters. She now had to come up with a plan and fast. Violet slipped the phone on her lap and turned the corner and stopped the car slowly. "The GPS is telling me that we're near it and this car is like brand new so I'm not driving it through trees or mud. I say we get out and just walk left, sound good?"
Sofya had smiled at her and then nodded. Violet was hoping she was holding a good enough poker face because inside she wanted to panic. She wasn't scared or afraid, she was worried. Marcel had gone through enough crazy nights and she didn't want to be in that situation. Violet really didn't even know what this thing could do, none of them really did. Sofya was two times older than she, if the Hollow could grab ahold of her, what would stop her from going after Violet?
Turning the engine off, she placed her keys in her back pocket. Violet wanted acting as if she was shutting the GPS off but her painted nails were quickly typing back to Marcel. Getting out of the Ferrari, she closed the door slowly then realized Sofya was gone. Violet took a deep breath and looked behind her where she should have been standing.
Sofya had nearly popped out of nowhere, turned Violet around and slammed her against the driver's side that the window cracked. She placed her hand on the younger vampires' throat and lifted her a little off the ground. Violet grabbed onto her hand to try and pry it off but she was much stronger than her. Her head was pressed against the roof and tilted back far enough that the car was digging into her neck.
She ripped the phone from her hand and crushed in, Violet didn't have a chance to send the text. "It looks like your precious boyfriend already knows about me. What should I do to him? Rip his tongue out for telling or make it more painful by killing you"
Violet tried shoving her back but she slammed her into the car again which made her cry out in pain a little; there was no way around it. "Here's what you're going to do for me. I want you to find that bone and you will bring me the other one once you meet up with Marcel. You're going to show me where this one is and if you don't we're going to have a problem. Do I make myself clear?"
She still seemed to struggle against her so Sofya tightened her hand on her throat. "I said do I make myself clear Violet?"
Violet had nodded as much as she could and Sofya let go. She fell to her knees gripping her throat choking and coughing for air. The possessed girl had already started walking into the woods as Violet was still on her hands and knees. She scrambled to her feet and followed behind her.
"Sofya…Wait a minute" She called down and she turned around faintly.
"I'm not Sofya so if you could call me by my actual name" Violet just wanted to get her attention enough to cause some sort of distraction. With the Hollow in Sofya's body she didn't know exactly what that meant. If she could make Klaus and Marcel hallucinate, who knows her power now.
"The bone isn't anywhere over here I lied after getting a message. You now broke my phone which had the location so I don't think either of us is going to find it" Sofya then turned around completely and narrowed her eyes.
"What do you mean you don't know where it is?"
"Even if I did I wouldn't tell you where it was to begin with. You're out of luck hanging around me" Violet then charged at her hoping to take her down. Sofya threw her hand out which made the young vampire fall to her knees once again. She gripped her head tight and yelled in pain, it echoed throughout the woods. Blood appeared from her eyes and started streaming down her cheeks. Luckily for Violet a savior was waiting in the shadows.
In a matter of seconds a figured popped out from behind Sofya, grabbed her neck and snapped it. Her body fell to the ground with a thud and Violet moved her hands and looked up.
"Get to the car now love before she wakes up" Klaus spoke looking at her as she was breathing heavily. She disappeared from his sight as he followed right behind her.
They both had got into the car at the same time to her surprise that he was next to her. Violet slid the keys back out, started the engine and peeled out of there in a matter of second. She wiped the blood away from her eyes while trying to concentrate on the road. "How did you know where I was?"
"Marcel told me so I thought I'd lend a hand" He did a famous sly smirk which she hardly caught. Klaus straightened a little in his seat and cleared his throat. "You're welcome by the way"
"I could have handled myself just fine" She glanced in the rearview mirror. Violet was trying her best to ignore the shattered car window that she really wanted to cry about.
"I'm sure you would have Violet" Klaus said it in a joking tone; she didn't have a chance against Sofya. "You can admit that I saved you and you enjoyed it"
Taking a breath she noticed darks clouds rolling in, another storm and she didn't want to be wandering outside caught in it. Violet didn't respond to him as it was nice to see someone come to her rescue. Her pride wouldn't let her admit it out loud but she was.
"Remember all those nights we spend cuddled on the couch during the rainstorms. We stayed up watching all those old movies until you fell asleep with your head on my lap" He said it as an afterthought but there was a meaning and motive behind it. Klaus then turned a little in his seat to face her a little more. "You need to drive straight for another mile, turn right and keep driving for another five minutes and we will find the bone…Nice car by the way"
She didn't answer him on anything he said but followed it. They needed to get the bone before Sofya and that didn't include small talk. Pressing the pedal to the floor to get there as fast as possible it was almost mission impossible, the fast and the furious.
Once they reached the destination Klaus had said, they both got back and made their way into the woods. "So do you know exactly where we are looking?" She asked turning around to look at him.
"Unfortunately for us no. It's somewhere buried in a field but Marcellus said it will be easy to find if we just keep walking straight"
She nodded and turned back around to keep walking. The air had shifted and suddenly felt a little cool. The sun had disappeared and the wind was picking up. Violet huffed a little more so she didn't get caught in the storm. She felt warmth on her arms and smelt Klaus's cologne. He had taken his jacket off and slipped it around her shoulders after he noticed her shiver. Violet smiled a little and gripped it tight.
"So I heard about the both of you" He said looking at her a little.
Violet didn't say anything and continued walking. She wasn't going to answer him or discuss her relationship, especially not to Klaus. She fixed the jacket and stopped in a middle of a field.
"I'm not mad you know I figured this was going to happen…"
"Can we not talk about this?" Violet stopped and turned around. She and Klaus had locked eyes but there wasn't any words to explain anything. She didn't want to hurt him but she knew that she did. "I just don't know why I have to discuss this with you"
Klaus went to answer her but his phone had buzzed in his pocket. She searched the jacket and grabbed it. Violet in her favorite fashion when to answer it but he had snatched it away from her.
"Hayley…" He was cut off as she began explaining something that he hardly could comprehend. Violet had roamed around the field looking for the bone. There wasn't anything that looked out of the ordinary. Her head had turned sharply in his direction.
"Marcel? What's going on with him" She moved back over in an instant and the coat almost flew off her shoulders. Her eyes had gone somewhat wide and she used her vampire hearing to listen to the phone call. Klaus had got enough of the info then hung up once he knew she was listening. "What the hell is going on? What is happening to Marcel?" Her voice was filled with panic.
"It looks like our favorite witch is back from the grave for the meantime" Klaus had huffed thinking of Davina considering the last thing they went through. "She wants to kill my brother using your boyfriend's venom so I suggest we leave now"
Violet had paused at the thought and bumped into Klaus hard, forgetting about the bone and making her way to the car. "Really? You want to start this game?" He followed behind her with great strides.
"It's always your family isn't it? Every time Marcel and I have a situation handled your family wants to amp up the drama. Find your own way there"
She zipped away from him to the car but he wasn't going to let her off the hook so easily. Klaus followed and got into the car once again at the same time.
"What? You're ripper side coming back out? Whether you like it or not Marcel is my son and Elijah is my brother so we are going to be tied together, always and forever" He smirked at her.
Violet scoffed and shook her head hard. "What is it with you? I mean you can't let me have my own life in New Orleans with Marcel. You screwed me up how many years ago and now you want to act like this white knight so I can run back to you. I'm not Cami, I'm not Caroline, I'm not Aurora. I choose to date Marcel, spend my life with him and have sex with him if I want to. If you don't like it that's fine with me but you and your family need to stop getting involved in our life!" She practically screamed it at him and Klaus had been so surprised that it froze him.
She took a deep breath and looked at him. It dawned on her that she sounded like a fool and what fell out of her mouth made no sense and came out of nowhere. Violet bit her lip, looked away and started the car. She didn't drive but gripped the wheel tight. Something had come over her and she couldn't control it.
Violet leaned forward and kissed Klaus so fast that he couldn't even see it coming. He had kissed her back without hesitation, tension always made it better. She pulled back after realizing what she did and began driving. After all she had to go save her boyfriend.
