Hey guys I'm back with another chapter! In this we have our first actual flash back to previous events. I mean, it's not that big of a deal, but it does provide more insight into Violet, and her life before she went to Apex. Which is actually her whole life up till now, but still. There are also no new OCs this chapter, but there will be next chapter, at least one or two. We do meet some new characters of mine however. Feel free to send in some Ocs as I'm still accepting new characters, anyway, enjoy guys!
-Aftermath-
"Is there anyway I can get you to reconsider?" Emma asked, she was currently in the principals office, talking with him about the person she was assigned to advise to the Children of Darkness.
"Why don't you want to Miss Hart's advisor, Miss Carrington?" The Principal asked, with an inquisitive look.
"Well… Personal reasons really." Emma admitted, causing the Principal to hum, and lean back in his chair.
"You do know that we don't allow you to change who you're advising for personal reasons Miss Carrington." The Principal told her, Emma tried to come up with an argument, but her voice ended up dying in her throat. She looked away, her eyes watering up. "Is everything alright?" The Principal asked, Emma nodded, and stood up.
"Thank you anyway…" She trailed off, her voice breaking halfway through, she turned around and walked out of his office. It was the end of the day, so there was nothing left for her to do except return to her home. But even there wasn't a safe haven from her memories.
-Aftermath- 1 Year Ago-
"Shut up!" Violet exclaimed, as she pushed her best friend away, causing her to fall back on the bed, before bounding back with a broad smile on her face.
"Oh, be quiet Violet, you know it's true. You always listen to your parents, you never rebel, because you're little miss perfect." Emma accused the blonde, who shook her head in protest.
"I am not, I can be crazy! I can do crazy things, like joining the Children of Darkness when both my parents are apart of the New Guardians of Light!" Violet countered, Emma shook her head.
"That was me. You cant do anything crazy like that, because you're a good girl." Emma said, Violet glared at her.
"I am not!" Violet yelled, her cheeks turning red, Emma smiled, and got in her face.
"Then prove it. I dare you to kiss me. Do it Violet, kiss your best friend." Emma challenged, her face settling into a slight smirk. She didn't expect Violet to do anything.
The next thing either of the girls knew is that Violet grabbed Emma's face with both her hands, and kissed her, only for a few seconds before the blonde pulled away with a blush. Emma blinked a few times, before she got up from the bed. Violet frowned.
"Did I do something wrong?" Violet asked, Emma shook her head.
"No, it's just that… Wow, I did not expect you to actually do it." Emma said, Violet smiled, having triumphed over her best friend. Emma just paced around, she had never thought of Violet in that way, but now, she was starting to reconsider that. When she thought of them together, it made her happier. That was something she surely didn't expect, she also didn't expect that she had fallen in love with her best friend without even realizing it, nor had Violet.
"I didn't know I had it in me either…" Violet trailed off, staring at her best friends back. She seemed to be really freaked out by this, had Violet messed up? No, Violet would never regret anything, this just proved that she had fallen in love without even realizing it. "But, I'm glad I did it." Violet said, firmly. Emma turned around and gave her a surprised look, before it settled into a smile.
"So am I." Emma said, Violet smiled and hopped up from the bed, moving over to her best friend, and grabbing her hands. Emma smiled as she let Violet push her towards the wall. Once Emma's back was pressed against the wall Violet pushed Emma's hands to each side of her head, and kissed Emma once again.
"My girl now, right?" Violet asked, Emma smiled, and looked into her best friends eyes, and with complete sincerity.
"Always and forever Violet."
-Aftermath- Present Day-
"Get up kid." Toni ordered. It was the second day of school, but today, Violet would be staying home. Toni's order, and Kelsi didn't know, and wouldn't find out until it was already too late. Today would be Violet's punishment, or as Toni would call it, her training.
"I don't wanna…" Violet muttered, turning the other way in the bed. Toni had insisted she sleep next to her last night so she could check on her, and make sure she was okay. Toni had gotten ready an hour ago, but let Violet sleep. To be fair, if she was going to school Violet would still have an hour to sleep.
"Get up Violet, you're not going to slack off today." Toni ordered, Violet opened her eyes, and looked at the clock.
"It's six… Why so early mom?" Violet asked, sitting up, Toni smiled at her, as she crossed her arms.
"Because Violet. You got your ass beat yesterday, and nearly died. So today, you're spending an entire day training with me to help you get better." Toni said, Violet just gave her a look.
"Are you insane mom? I can barely handle two hours of your training!" Violet exclaimed, Toni nodded.
"Well, you better learn how to handle a whole day, because it's happening, and you are not sleeping until I feel you're done." Toni said, before cracking knuckles. "I'll be waiting in the backyard. Be out there in five minutes, or I drag your ass out in whatever you're wearing, and you train in that all day." Toni said before leaving the room.
Violet got up and stretched out, she was wearing a t shirt, and panties, she walked out of her parents room, and to her own, where she got changed quickly. She didn't want to be unprepared. After getting dressed she looked for her Key-Chain, but it was nowhere to be found.
She just walked outside with a confused look to see Toni standing there, pulling on some black leather gloves. She glanced over at Violet with mild interest. Her daughter was wearing a white t shirt, with a black long-sleeved shirt under it, and black cargo shorts, easier for her mobility.
"Where's my Key-Chain mom?" Violet asked, Toni smirked.
"I got it. You can get it back once you finish twenty five laps around the block, without stopping. You stop, you start over." Toni said firmly. Violet just gave her a look, and Toni looked at her with a serious look. "I'm not kidding. Get moving." Toni ordered. Violet sighed, and opened the fence door. Starting her laps.
That took her just over 30 minutes to complete, a good time as far as Kelsi would be concerned, but Toni wasn't satisfied yet. She threw the Key-Chain to Violet, who caught it, but was still out of breath.
"Okay good. You did that. Now, fight me." Toni ordered, Violet just gave her an incredulous look.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" Violet asked, and Toni gave her a smirk as she tightened her hand into a fist. She never joked about fighting. Toni dashed forwards at a speed which Violet couldn't even see before Toni was right in front of her, with a swift punch to the gut. Violet coughed, and fell to the ground.
"You need to be faster than that Violet." Toni criticized her daughter, who just coughed a few more times while trying to hold herself up.
"What even are you?" Violet coughed out, Toni smiled down at her, and crossed her arms.
"Something to be feared, and learned from. Your endurance is also shit, I barely put any effort into that punch, I'm not trying to hurt you here." Toni said seriously. Violet just shook her head, she wasn't going to survive today if this kept up. She stood up, and summoned her Key-Blade.
"I'll show you." Violet said, Toni smirked.
"Show me then squirt." Toni mocked her, Violet glared at her, and rushed forward, swinging Oathkeeper at Toni's head, Toni grabbed it, and kicked Violet in the stomach, making her release her grip on Oathkeeper and fall to the ground holding her stomach. Toni threw Oathkeeper down next to her.
"Fuck!" Violet exclaimed, her voice higher than usual as tears welled up from the pain, she forgot how strong Toni was without even trying to be.
"Violet, seriously, you need to get better. The only way that happens is if you manage to actually advance. Hit me, and we can end this exercise."
"I cant fucking beat you!" Violet yelled, Toni glared at her, and pulled Violet up by the collar of her shirt.
"Not if you keep that attitude up! Now quit being a fucking baby and fight me!" Toni yelled, dropping Violet. The teen stumbled on her feet. She called Oathkeeper back to her hands, and glared at Toni, who just gave her a look.
Violet ran forward and swung at Toni this time though, by the time Violet was swinging her Keyblade, Toni was behind her, with a swift elbow in the ribs, causing the teen to fall to the ground screaming in pain.
"Fuck!" Violet yelled as tears fell on the ground underneath her, she felt like her entire body was in pain. This was as bad as yesterday.
"Violet. Seriously, you need to be more aware of your surroundings." Toni chastised her daughter once again.
"You need to stop fucking hurting me!"
"Quit fucking whining Violet." Toni growled out, as she roughly pulled her daughter up. Violet turned around to glare at her mom.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Violet yelled, getting in Toni's face, and possibly making the worst decision of her life. Her legitimate anger caused Toni's own to spike up as her mothers face broke into rage before she punched Violet directly in the stomach, making the teen cough once again, as she was knocked several feet back.
"Don't you ever fucking speak to me in that goddamn tone again young lady!" Toni screamed at her daughter. Now get the fuck up, quit being a bitch, and fucking fight me!" Toni yelled, as she tightened her leather gloves.
Violet made a mental note as she used her Keyblade to get up. Never get in her moms face like that and yell again, because that punch was closer to a real one. She glared at her mom, and ran forward one more time. Toni got into a defensive stance, and prepared for anything Violet threw at her.
"Earth!" Violet yelled, before she slammed her Keyblade into the ground, a large pillar shooting her into the air, she turned mid air, and rushed at Toni, who was no longer standing where she was a second ago. Violet heard a large cracking sound, and looked down to see the stone pillar she formed as a launch pad speeding towards her, Toni on top of it.
"You've got to try harder than that Violet!" Toni taunted, once she pillar was close enough, she leapt off of it, and brought her fists together preparing to use them like a hammer. Violet pointed her Keyblade at Toni, lighting forming at the tip before it fired off.
"Thunder!" Violet exclaimed, at this point during her magic training, saying the word helped the spell form, and be even stronger in the end. Kelsi had explained it all in detail, but Violet filtered most of that out. The spell ended up being too close for Toni to dodge it, so she ended up blocking for a split second.
In the time that Toni was blocking, Violet swung her Keyblade at her, hitting Toni in the side. For a normal person, that would have hurt quite a lot, but against Toni, it just tickled slightly. She smirked, Violet was taking advantage of an opportunity, for once.
"Getting better." Toni yelled as she broke her block and grabbed Violet's arm, altering her course midair, Toni lunged downward, swinging Violet at the ground, causing the teen to bounce off it slightly after she slammed down, and Toni landed on her feet.
"Fuck me!" Violet yelled as the pain returned. To be fair she was still trying to recover from that first punch, but it just kept piling up on her.
"Well. You managed to land a hit on me. So, you've passed that part of training. Now, since you're already down there, give me one hundred push ups." Toni ordered, causing her daughter just to look at her dazed, to which Toni just stared back.
"Are you fucking insane?" Violet yelled, Toni shrugged.
"Maybe. Bigger question would be why haven't you started your push ups yet?" Toni asked, while crossing her arms, Violet wanted to cry, as she turned over, and began doing push ups.
-Aftermath- An Hour Later-
"Why the long face Emma?" Victoria asked, the brunette looked at the rich girl with a sigh. They were walking through the forest in the back of the school. It was before Victoria had to lead the person she was advising around.
"I just… Bad memories is all." Emma told Victoria, who nodded, accepting the answer, and looking away.
"I think I just saw a Nobody. Want to go get some practice in?" Victoria asked, as she pulled out her Keychain, black with a black crown, Oblivion. She focused on it, and called it into existence.
"Sure. I always love fighting them." Emma said, as she used the darkness to summon her weapon. It was a Katana that used shotgun shells to propel it forward with it's swings.
"Let's go then girl!" Victoria exclaimed, as she took off, Emma smiled and ran after her. They didn't notice the same two people from yesterday following them from the branches above.
"This is pointless, why are we following them?" Garth asked, Vani smirked at him.
"Because one of them is directly connected to Violet, and the other has the sister Keyblade to Oathkeeper, so she also has some form of connection to Violet." Vani explained, Garth grunted.
"But why is that girl so important? Is it just because the Boss and her parents were friends?" Garth asked, Vani nodded.
"Toni and Kelsi. I knew them, they are good people, but they didn't want to raise Violet in a place with so much turmoil. As for why she is so important now all of a sudden, I do not know." Vani said, Garth let out a sigh.
"We know that the blonde one is going to see the Boss right now, why not follow her?"
"Why follow her in the first place, she hates pointless fighting, also she and the Boss are technically still friends." Vani said, Garth let out yet another sigh.
"It's dumb that it's so complicated." Garth said, Vani smiled at him.
"You're just too dumb to understand it all." She quipped, he nodded.
"I am a fucking idiot, who should die, and has no real reason to live." Garth said, Vani smiled.
"True." Was all Vani said, this was normal talk for him. He was usually depressing and sad, he admittedly hated most people, including himself.
-Aftermath-
Two fraternal twins were walking up to the campus. Both looked to be around seventeen years old. The boy had long dark brown hair, tied in a pony tail with a pink tie. Black rim glasses over bright blue eyes. He wore a blue hoodie, and jeans.
The girl had long blonde hair, and bright blue eyes with tanned skin. She wore a t shirt, with jean shorts, showing off most of her legs, and her midriff showing.
"Why are we here again bro?" The girl, Miranda asked, throwing her arms behind her head. She was tired form all the traveling the had done.
"It's a big year here. Several new, and interesting students. Specifically though, we are here for Violet Alexandria Hart." The boy, Tanner told her. She let out a loud, and overly exaggerated sigh. Tanner just looked back at her slightly annoyed. He found his sister to be annoying in a very endearing way, eventually. At first she was just plain annoying.
"Why cant we just like, chill and live our lives already? I'm tired of moving around." She said, stopping her movement completely, Tanner turned around, and sighed, seeing his sisters dejected mood. He moved to comfort her, placing his hands on her shoulders, she looked up at him.
"I'm sorry Miranda, really. But I swear. This is the last job we'll take, then we can retire and live our lives together. Okay? Just stick with me for one more job…"
"I'm always with you idiot." Miranda told him, he smiled at her, and pat her shoulders.
"Good. Now, let's go register to yet another school then!" Tanner exclaimed, she smiled at him, as he took his hands off of her shoulders and turned around, resuming leading them to the front of the building.
"Do you think you'll meet a nice fella here, I mean, might as well try since it's the last job." Miranda said, Tanner shrugged.
"You know that's not a real option Miranda…" Tanner trailed off, she let out a wistful sigh.
"Yeah. I guess. Least I don't have to worry about that sort of thing." Miranda chirped, Tanner smirked.
"Yeah, you and your weird Asexuality. Which goes shockingly against the rest of your personality."
"Not like I would have pegged you for such a Twink either… Oh, wait, yeah I would." Miranda said, Tanner glared at her.
"Must you bring up my sexuality?"
"You started it."
"I didn't insult you though."
"I never insulted you, my dear brother."
"Bullshit. You know that I'm a top."
"Weird thing to say bro."
"You're the one who asked in the first place!" Tanner yelled, recalling the time when she wouldn't stop pestering him about it. Miranda smiled broadly at him.
"I know." She said, Tanner just shook his head and continued to walk towards the building.
"Just come on bitch."
"Faggot."
"Miranda, I swear to god!"
"Which one?"
"You're fucking irritating." Tanner said, bringing two fingers to the bridge of his nose, Miranda pat him on the back.
"I know. Love you too." Miranda told him in a cheerful tone, he just shook his head. Eventually all their conversations turned into this. They would bicker, she would say something offensive, and irritate him.
-Aftermath-
"So, yeah. I'm like you, got a KeyBlade now and everything." Damon said proudly as he showed off Fenrir to Jamora, who nodded appreciatively.
"That's really cool. I mean mine is nothing special or anything, but it get's the job done." Jamora said as he summoned Star-Seeker from the Key-Chain he possessed. Arthur noticed them talking, and smirked, going over to join them.
"This a whole, I'll show you mine, if you show me yours situation?" He asked, with a chuckle, Damon chuckled a bit shaking his head.
"I guess man. I was saying how I got myself a Keyblade over the summer." Damon said, Arthur nodded, and pulled out his own Key-Chain, summoning Lionheart with it.
"Well, this looks like the time for a three way, am I right?" Arhtur asked, Damon smirked.
"Man, I don't got too much practice, but, shit I'll fight." Damon said, Jamora smiled, and banished his Keyblade, slipping the Key-Chain back in his pocket.
"You two have fun. I'll make sure you don't overdo it." Jamora said, Damon nodded. He took several steps away, before turning around, and getting in a fighting stance similar to that of the Hero of Light, Terra. Arthur just stood there with a smirk on his face, Keyblade resting on his shoulder.
"You ready for this Ty?" Arthur asked, using Damon's middle name, Damon smiled.
"Sure thing Chimney." Damon said, using a nickname for Arthur, he smirked.
"Ready. Set. Go!" Jamora called, immediately Damon rushed forwards, at incredible speeds, nothing ground breaking, but remarkably faster than most people. Arthur smiled, he swung his Keyblade in the air, knocking Damon's own out of the way, before he spun on his heel, placing both hands on his Keyblade, and preparing to strike.
Damon saw this and changed his footing so he could jump back, narrowly avoiding the swing to his mid section. He smiled as Arthur rushed at him, Damon raised his Keyblade into the air, and brought it down with all his might, Arthur blocked the attack, but the force knocked him back a bit.
Arthur remembered that Damon played a power game, using strength over anything else, though his speed, and endurance were remarkably high, as most physical fighters were. Arthur preferred more of a mixture between strength and speed.
"Surprise mother fucker!" Damon yelled, Arthur had been so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice when Damon got close enough to land a hit, Fenrir slammed into Arthur's side, sending him flying a short distance with him landing on a nearby bench, he smirked.
"Damn. I don't think I want to take another hit like that. I think I'll call this one a draw and get back to you Ty." Arthur said, Damon smiled and pulled Arthur up, banishing Fenrir, and slipping the Key-Chain in his pocket, Arthur did the same with Lionheart.
"You two both did great!" Jamora exclaimed, Damon smirked.
"Yeah, been too long since I've had a fight. I might go find Jesse now, he seems like he would be fun to fight, plus, I don't really know how he fights, so there's a chance it's really interesting." Damon said, Jamora nodded. Arthur smiled and pulled out a cigarette, lighting it up, and taking a quick drag from it.
"Yeah. He seems like he might be fun to fight." Arthur said, after blowing some smoke.
Damon nodded, and smirked. He had to admit, this year was probably going to be something to remember, what with all the new people coming to the school. Maybe he would meet a girl that he actually liked this year, who wasn't Violet.
-Aftermath-
"Shit. It's your mother. Shut up." Toni ordered, as she pulled out her phone and answered it. She placed her foot on Violet's back, holding her down on the ground.
"Hey!" Violet tried to protest, but Toni silenced her with a quick shush.
"Toni, what are you doing?" Kelsi's voice sounded from over the phone, already in an accusatory tone, Toni was already regretting answering the call.
"Nothing babe, just doing things you know!"
"You sound guilty. What did you do? Did you break something again? Just tell me, it'll be easier if you do." Kelsi said, Toni put a hand to her forehead, great now Kelsi was assuming she broke something. Which she had done many times in the past, but that was no reason to just start accusing her now.
"No, I was just out, running errands for you. You had that list I was supposed to follow?"
"Why aren't you taking care of my baby?" Kelsi asked, in a dangerous tone. Toni shut her eyes tightly. Of course Kelsi would prioritize Violet, how could she be so stupid to forget that?
"Um… She's with me?"
"She's supposed to be resting in bed, not out with you."
"I didn't want to leave her behind."
"You shouldn't have left the house in the first place. You know that my baby takes priority over everything else Toni."
"Right, that's why I'm taking her to a acupuncturist, you know, that one on the square?" Toni asked, trying to pull an excuse out of her ass.
"You have someone sticking needles in my baby?" Fuck. That was obviously the wrong place. "Wait, wait, wait. You hate that place, you would never take her there, you complain it's too white in there. You're lying about something. What are you really doing?"
"I'm sorry, I did lie to you, but the truth is… I'm just having a nice little coloring session with Violet, she was bored."
"Toni. We don't have anything to color with, and I know you didn't buy any. Cut it out. Tell me the truth, and you wont be punished. I promise, but lie one more time, and I swear to god, no sex for a month." Toni sighed as she heard that. That was the deal breaker, consequences be damned, she had to tell the truth now.
"I'm training with Violet…" Toni muttered into the phone quickly. For a couple seconds nothing was heard. "Kelsi?" Toni asked quietly.
"You're doing what?!" Kelsi's voice erupted from the phone, causing Toni to hold it away from her head, and frown. She would certainly be hearing about this later.
-Aftermath-
