-Aftermath-
Violet smiled as she looked at her closet, she crossed her arms Trying to decide what to wear. She had to spend the entire day with her Advisor to the Children of Darkness, who she hadn't actually met yet. Violet laughed bitterly, if her luck was any indication, it would probably be Emma, or some other bitch who she wouldn't get along with.
"Fighting a losing battle kid?" Toni asked from the door, Violet nodded, and turned back to look at her mom.
"Yeah. I just cant decide what to wear." Violet admitted, Toni shrugged.
"You deserve it. For getting me in trouble." Toni told her, Violet smirked.
"It's nice to think that mother will always have my back."
"Yeah, yeah. Just hurry up okay?" Toni asked, before walking away. Kelsi didn't really give her the silent treatment so much as treat her with a cold shoulder, whereas Violet got her every need pampered to. Kelsi even went so far as to make cookies for Violet, and had said that Toni couldn't have any.
Toni wandered into the kitchen and walked over to the plate of cookies, she reached for one, and as soon as her fingers touched it, a hand smacked her own. Toni jumped, and looked at the person who smacked her, to meet the cold eyes of her wife.
"Those are Violet's. I already told you, you couldn't have any." Kelsi told her, Toni let out a exaggerated sigh as Kelsi took the plate of cookies and placed them in the fridge. On her shelf, meaning that if Toni tried to get to them now, Kelsi would get to keep her grounded longer.
"Come on babe… I said I was sorry!" Toni exclaimed, Kelsi nodded, and left the room. Toni crossed her arms and glared after her. Kelsi walked to her daughters room just as Violet pulled on a white hoodie.
"Violet honey, I'm taking you to school today." Kelsi said, Violet nodded, and grabbed her bag, throwing the strap over her shoulder. She smiled at her mother.
"Well, I'm ready now… Why isn't mom taking me though?" Violet asked, moving to her mother, who smiled.
"I wanted to spend some time with you, since I've been gone for a few days." Kelsi explained as she walked through the living room, with Violet following her. Toni looked up at her.
"Where you going babe?" Toni asked, Kelsi looked over at her, with a blank face.
"I'm taking Violet to school today. Have fun, and remember, don't touch those cookies." Kelsi warned. Toni let out a sigh as Kelsi and Violet left the house. Toni hummed and moved to the window, watching as Kelsi and Violet drove off. She smiled and moved to the fridge.
"Tell me not to have any cookies…" Toni muttered bitterly, as she reached for a cookie, just as her fingers touched one, her feet became encased in ice. She looked down to see a glyph on the floor. "Of fucking course she had a trap set up…"
-Aftermath-Several Months Earlier-
"Hmmm…" Violet murmured, as she squinted. Her window was open, and the sun was shining through, directly on her face. The light right now had a grudge against her, the sun was waging a war on her.
"Violet are you okay?" Emma asked, Violet winced, Emma's voice was extremely loud, and hurt right now. Going with the already throbbing head Violet had, and sore throat, which felt like she just swallowed some sandpaper.
Violet grunted and fell out of bed. Emma was standing at the mirror watching silently as Violet, still wrapped in her blanket, moved along the floor towards her window. She reached up and grabbed the blind controlling cords. Violet was too out of it to think of what they were actually called. She yanked down, trying to make the blinds come down, and eliminate the sun's threat to her life.
Violet tugged on the cords a few times before making a noise of anger. She pulled on them harder, causing the blinds to fall off her window, and hit her in the head.
"Fuck!" Violet yelled, Emma just let out a sigh, and moved to Violet. She picked up the blinds, and put them back on the window, and fixed them so the sun couldn't shine into the room. She looked down as Violet scurried back to the bed once that happened, and curled up in a ball. That did not help her head. Emma moved over to the bed, and sat down, she rubbed Violet's back through the blanket.
"Are you okay?" Emma asked sweetly, Violet shook her head under the covers. Emma frowned, and kept rubbing the blonde's back. Violet quickly moved over, and rested her head on Emma's lap. "Want me to get you some water babe?" Emma asked, Violet nodded.
"Could you also get me some medicine? Just ask mommy where it is." Violet said, Emma smiled and got up, being sure to be very gentle with Violet, as she laid her head on a pillow. Emma walked out of Violet's room, and into the kitchen, where she heard Kelsi giggling.
Toni and Kelsi were in the kitchen, Toni was kissing Kelsi's neck, causing the blonde to giggle. Once Kelsi noticed however that Emma was there, she pushed Toni off of her.
"Hey Emma, is my baby okay?" Kelsi asked, Emma nodded.
"Yeah, she wanted me to get her some medicine. She said you would know where it is."
"Okay. It should be in the bathroom mirror cabinet, the liquid on the top shelf. Do not grab the pills, Violet hates to take pills." Kelsi explained as Emma got a bottle of water from the fridge.
"She should just grow a pair." Toni said, causing Kelsi to look at her.
"You're the same way!" Kelsi exclaimed. Toni shrugged.
"I literally cant swallow pills though. Never have been able to, Violet has the option and chooses to not take pills." Toni said, Kelsi just shook her head as Emma walked away.
"Toni, would you go grab the sugar for me?" Kelsi asked sweetly, changing the subject. Toni smirked.
"Sure thing sugar." Toni said, Kelsi smiled and smacked Toni on the ass as she walked away, causing her to jump a bit.
Emma returned to Violet's room. The blonde was still curled up in a ball, Emma shook her head, as she sat down on the bed.
"I got you your medicine and some water Violet." Emma said, Violet nodded, and came up from her covers. She looked relatively normal, just slightly more miserable with each passing second.
"I fucking hate alcohol… Never again." Violet muttered. She, Emma, and her parents had partied last night. Violet's parents allowed her to drink, as long as she did it in their house, or at least let them know, and tried to not drink too much when at a party.
"Maybe you should pace yourself better." Emma suggested, Violet glared at her.
"Bitch." Violet muttered, as she took the medicine, and filled the cap. She downed it easily, and swallowed. She then reached for the water, and chugged the entire bottle, before she leapt under the blanket once again. Emma smiled.
"Want me to stay here?" Emma asked, Violet nodded.
"Can you just like… Spoon me please? I just wanna stay in bed. Fuck life for today." Violet said, Emma nodded, and smiled.
-Aftermath-Present Day, Apex High-
"Let's hope nothing goes horribly wrong today, and you see Emma… Right… Like that'll happen…" Violet muttered bitterly, as she walked up to the school. Weird, no one had called her name yet… Violet hummed as she walked over to the map of the school, and waited there. She leaned against it, and shut her eyes.
"Violet…" Fuck. Violet opened her eyes to see Emma, standing there, clearly uncomfortable with the situation.
"What do you want?" Violet asked, bitterness in her voice, Emma frowned.
"I want to apologize actually… But, I'm also your Advisor…" Emma told her, Violet rolled her eyes, and crossed her arms.
"Of fucking course you are." Violet said, before glaring at her. "And fuck you Emma. You called me immature for wanting to get back together with you. I fucking trusted you, and you betrayed me."
"You expected me to know how to deal with something like that? I was… Angry, and bitter, but not anymore."
"Yeah fucking right. I don't even know why I'm talking to you right now…" Violet said, before she began to walk away. Emma bit her lip.
"Violet.. Please, talk to me!" Emma pleaded, Violet stopped in her tracks, and shut her eyes tightly.
"I should just ignore you, and walk away…" Violet muttered. She would normally ignore someone when she was mad at them. She would never dignify them with a response, but Emma had a certain… Hold over her.
"Just… Listen… I'm sorry for everything that happened with us, all of it. But please, I cant stay mad at you, and I cant bear the thought of you being mad at me forever."
"Emma. You cant possibly ask me, or even expect me to forgive, or forget what happened." Violet replied, without looking back at her, Emma frowned.
"Violet… Whatever happened between us doesn't matter now, I need to show you around it's the rules Violet." Emma said, Violet shook her head.
"Fuck you Emma." Violet muttered, before walking away. Emma just let out a sigh, this wasn't going to work at all.
Violet let out a sigh as she moved around the building. She didn't want to be around Emma, but she also didn't know where exactly to go. So… Fuck it, she was hiding in the forest until the day was over. Violet looked around, as she walked into the forest, and fell against a tree and sighed.
"What are you doing out here?" Kya asked, crossing her arms. Violet looked at her, and let out an annoyed sigh.
"Hiding."
"First year students are not allowed in the forest during the first week of school. Where is your Advisor?" Kya asked suspiciously, Violet shook her head. Of course Kya would be annoying and follow the rules.
"Hopefully fucking dead." Violet muttered, Kya raised her eyebrows, and crossed her arms. "Can I talk to you about something?"
"Why? We don't particularly like each other." Kya pointed out, Violet nodded.
"Yeah, but… That's why I feel I can talk to you about this. You'll be honest with me, you wont just say something to spare my feelings." Violet said, Kya hummed.
"Fine. I'll listen to you." Kya said. Violet let out a sigh.
"Okay, so I met Emma after I first moved here, and we became best friends. We had a great time for years. About a year ago, we got into a relationship, and that was great too. Until about a week ago, when she got cold feet, and we broke up. I tried to get her back recently, and she rejected me. Then today she says sorry, and says she cant stay mad at me, and cant bear the thought of me being mad at her forever. I don't want her anywhere near me because she hurt me so much. Am I wrong here?" Violet asked, Kya shrugged.
"Honestly I couldn't tell you. I've never been in any situation like that." Kya told her, Violet glared at her.
"Just think about how you would react if someone you cared about betrayed your trust, would you be able to forgive yourself for forgiving them?" Violet asked, Kya thought about it for a moment.
"If someone betrayed me, then… Obviously they don't care all that much. Psychology says that people mean everything they say, even if it's said in anger. This applies to actions too, they'll just do it again, they don't deserve forgiveness."
"Okay."
"At the same time, the morally right choice would be to forgive them, because everyone deserves that chance." Kya added on, Violet let out an exaggerated sigh.
"I don't want to do the morally right thing. Fuck that, she hurt me! She's just going to do it again, like you said. I don't want to get hurt like that again!" Violet exclaimed, Kya let out an annoyed sigh.
"Listen Violet, I may not completely understand where you're coming from here, but… I get what that's like. The sense of self preservation you have right now, we'll do anything to protect our own skin. I get that." Kya said, Violet smiled at her.
"I wonder if we could ever be friends…" Violet muttered, stepping closer to Kya, she shrugged.
"Maybe if one of us dropped their infantile attitude." Kya said, Violet shook her head.
"I was trying to have a moment with you… Bitch"
"Yeah, again. Attitude." Kya pointed out, Violet smiled at her, Kya let a slight smile come to her lips.
"What are you two doing out here?" Violet and Kya turned to see Victoria giving them both a condescending stare, with a hand on her hips. Violet glared at her, she recognized her. She was the girl staring at her from the front room window when she and Emma broke up. Emma's new best friend… Violet's… Replacement.
"Victoria." Kya said, with minor annoyance. She was actually enjoying talking with Violet. Relatively at least.
"You should drop the attitude. People like you don't deserve to have that tone with me. You know, no one who anyone would miss." Victoria said, Violet and Kya glared at her.
"You are such a bitch, and I thought Kya here was bad." Violet said, Kya glanced over at her. That was kind of a compliment.
"I don't think you know who you're talking to. You're just a nobody here, a stupid first year slut. No money, no prestige, nothing special about you."
"You're an idiot to think those things are important. Violet here has at least some redeeming qualities. Some at least, not much." Kya said, Violet smiled at her, Kya at least tried to compliment her.
"You know, Victoria, that's funny because my Auntie Janice is really rich." Violet shot back. Victoria raised her eyebrows.
"That stupid bitch who refuses to let my parents buy her failing jewelry store, she's pathetic."
"What is there to gain from being a fucking cunt?" Violet asked, Victoria glared at her.
"I'm wondering what there is to gain from wasting my time talking to you two idiots." Victoria said, Violet glared at her.
"Then let's stop talking, and start fighting." Violet said, Victoria smirked at her.
"We aren't in the same league."
"Actually Violet can hold her own just fine. We both know I'm on the top of the list when it comes to fighters here, and Violet held her own against me. More than you ever did." Kya pointed out, Violet smiled, Victoria hummed.
"Fine. I'll let you fight me." Victoria said, pulling her Key-Chain from her belt, and summoning Oblivion. Violet pulled her own Key-Chain out, and summoned Oathkeeper.
"Any special rules?" Kya asked, crossing her arms, Victoria shook her head, Violet for once, agreed with her. "Then, go at it. I'll step in if things get out of hand."
Violet and Victoria glared at each other, both of them ran at each other, and swung. Their Keyblade's smashed together several times as they kept trying to hit each other. They clashed once again, and Victoria forced Violet's Keyblade to the ground. Victoria punched Violet in the face, knocking her back.
Violet glared at her, rubbing her chin. Kya felt her protectiveness flare up as she watched that, she and Violet may not have known each other for long, and they may not see eye to eye exactly, but between Victoria and Violet, she greatly preferred Violet.
Victoria ran towards Violet, who smirked as Victoria swung at her. Violet spun on her heel, and swung her Keyblade, she ended up bring her Keyblade under Victoria's knocking it up. Violet pressed her hand against Victoria's side.
"Thunder!" Violet exclaimed as she used magic. Victoria grit her teeth as the electricity knocked her beck, into a tree. She glared at Violet, who smirked at her. Victoria shook her head, letting the darkness take root, making her much stronger, before she ran at Violet, swinging her Keyblade at Violet's head, Violet ducked and slammed her Keyblade into Victoria's side.
Victoria grit her teeth through the pain, and grabbed Violet by the hair, she brought her knee up and connected with Violet's nose, Violet screamed in pain as the pain shot through her, her nose was broken. Victoria smiled sadistically as she heard that. She let go of Violet's hair, and let the blonde fall to her knees, holding her nose, and crying. Kya glared at her, and started walking towards the two.
Victoria brought her Keyblade up slammed it into Violet's back, knocking her to the ground entirely. She prepared to do it again, but her Keyblade was ripped out of her hands, she turned to see Kya's face twisted in rage as a blinding pain shot through her stomach as Kya's knee connected with it.
"Get out of here." Kya hissed, shoving Victoria away. "You don't deserve to be a Keyblade wielder. You're truly despicable." Kya said, moving to Violet, and getting on one knee, she pulled the blonde up, and rested her head on her knee. She looked at the damage, and frowned. Victoria merely dismissed her Keyblade and walked away, she had won this fight.
"Don't worry Violet…" Kya said, as she used an extremely powerful cure spell. She ended up fixing all the damage to Violet's nose, at the cost of great pain for the blonde. Instantaneous healing always hurt like hell. Kya hummed, Violet at least looked the same, save for a small scar on the bridge of her nose, but it wasn't broken anymore, that's what mattered.
"Thanks…" Violet said, Kya merely nodded. Violet smiled at her happily, she was happy that Kya helped her, she honestly didn't know if she would have done the same. Kya cleared her throat awkwardly as a blush came to her face, as she realized that she was still holding Violet. Once she realized this, Kya let Violet go completely and stood up quickly, turning around, and rubbing the back of her neck. Violet's head slammed against the ground, and she made a noise of pain.
"Sorry…" Kya apologized, bringing a hand up to her hair, and tucking it behind her ear, to keep it from getting in her eyes. Violet got up off the ground, and smiled. She thought about giving Kya a hug to show her thanks, but didn't. Instead Violet grabbed Oathkeeper, and banished it, shoving the Key-Chain in her pocket.
"You're fine. I… Didn't expect you to care that much."
"I already said I would step in if things got out of hand, I was just keeping my word." Kya told her, Violet smiled, and placed her hands on her hips.
"Don't be so modest, you saved me. I don't know what I would have done without you… You're a real friend."
"I don't think this makes us friends Violet." Kya pointed out. "I was only doing the right thing, nothing special about it."
"You are so fucking frustrating… Fine, you don't have to agree, but I'm considering us friends, you don't have to." Violet said, matter of factly. Kya let out a sigh. There was no way Violet would leave her alone now, maybe she should have let her get hurt more… Or at least, waited a bit to help her… But Kya couldn't do that.
"Even when you're trying to be sincere, you're annoying."
"In an extremely endearing way, right?" Violet asked, Kya shook her head.
"Not at all Violet. Nothing endearing about it, just plain annoying… Listen, I should go, I have some things to do… I guess I'll see you around Violet."
"Later Kya." Violet said, Kya nodded stiffly, and walked away from the blonde. Violet raised her eye brows, and smiled as she checked Kya out. "It is nice watching you leave…" Kya stopped.
"What?" She asked, turning around with a slight glare, and faint blush, Violet just smirked and raised up her hands.
"Nothing hot stuff." Violet said, Kya shook her head and walked away, a bit faster this time. Violet was just being Violet, though compliments always felt good. Violet smiled, maybe she could get with Kya. That would surely piss Emma off, since she hated the New Guardians of Light, and Kya was the quintessential Guardian of Light.
Violet bit her lip. She shouldn't have that as her reason, it should be because they wanted it to happen, not because of some petty fucking revenge. Though it would be good revenge regardless of the reason it happened, maybe. Kya would be a nice change from Emma, Emma as soft, whereas Kya was… someone with a trained, athletic body… Violet turned a shade of dark red as her thoughts shifted to more inappropriate things.
Whatever happened next, Violet and Kya were on good terms, relatively, and Emma was a bitch. And Victoria was a fucking cunt. Despite those two however, Violet wanted to focus on the brighter side of the situation.
-Aftermath-Virtuoso City, Pulchram Animae(Beautiful Soul)-
Kelsi looked over at Janice who was currently making calls. She had her light brown hair un in a bun, with thin wire frame glasses over her bright emerald eyes. Slightly tanned skin, and makeup done to perfection, as usual. Kelsi smiled as someone came into the store. It was a delivery man, from a local flower shop, coincidentally holding a bouquet of flowers, with a heart shaped chocolate box.
"Kelsi Andrea Hart?" He asked, Kelsi smiled and nodded. He handed the bouquet, and chocolates over to her. He smiled and left as soon as he came. Janice looked over as she got off the phone, Kelsi smiled as she saw the Gloxinias, and Roses. She opened up the chocolates to see a note, she grabbed it and opened it up, reading over it.
'I'm sorry I hit our kid during training, and tried to ground her way back when. You know I'm not genteel, and shit. I cant even do this right… It was supposed to be this really romantic letter, but you know I've never been good with all that mushy shit. Shit, those don't count towards Violet's college fund right? I'm just going to assume they do, and put the money in there. Anyway, I'm really sorry babe. You know you're everything to me, and having you around, and not getting to actually hear the joy in your voice is killing me… I'm so fucking sorry babe. Fuck, I need to stop doing that.'
Kelsi smiled as she read the letter, a tear slid down her cheek. Toni really did try so hard to be everything Kelsi wanted. She let her eyes drift down to see some more to the letter, folded over, as if Toni tried to hide it.
'P.S. If you see this, I tried to eat a cookie after you left, and ended up triggering your glyph thing. I'm sorry. I destroyed the ice, but… It ended up also freezing one of the legs on the fridge… That broke too, and so did the fridge, after it fell down… I'm sorry…'
'P.S.S. I shouldn't have wrote that part above… But it's in ink… Shit. I'll just fold the paper, please don't find this… You're probably gonna find it… We'll have a new fridge by the time you get home.'
Kelsi let out a sigh, Janice snatched a chocolate from the box and ate it. Kelsi smiled at her, as she did the same. She looked at the flowers. Gloxinias, it was her and Toni's flower. It meant love at first sight. Toni had bought her one, and gave it to her their first date. Kelsi found out later what it had actually meant, while Toni had picked it specifically for because the flower girl had told her what it meant when she was looking for a flower.
"She is such a dork… I'll definitely have to thank her for this." Kelsi said, with a blush. Even after all these years, Toni could still make her blush, and feel giddy like a little school girl.
"You sure picked a winner Kelsi… Why don't you head on home. I can just call Dana, and Juliet in here to man the counter. I have an appointment with some bloodsuckers soon anyway."
"Bon-Velz?" Kelsi asked, Janice nodded. "They aren't all bad, but that's all families."
"I agree. So, go on Kelsi, go to your wife, and make sure to see if we can all go out sometime, we need a girls night." Janice said, Kelsi smiled and got up, grabbing the chocolate box, and bouquet of flowers.
"I will Janice, thank you!" Kelsi said as she left the store. Janice smiled as she watched the blonde leave, before she pulled out a phone, dialing Dana's number.
-Aftermath-
Another chapter done! I have been waiting to get to the Victoria and Violet fight since I started this story honestly. Things arent over between them, in fact it's barely gotten started. You see with Violet being in a story always garuntees two characters, not counting Toni and Kelsi of course. Those two characters that come with Violet are Yuri, and Victoria.
Also, I know no new Ocs this chapter, but we will meet quite a few next chapter. Bear with me, becuase it's going to be a lot, so individual scenes are going to be shorter, because I want to get most of these guys introduced in this chapter. Some of course wont be, but most are going to be there, so yeah. Next chapter will be different... It officially marks the end of the grace period, that being the intoduction stages. Shit will go down. Be prepared for that.
