hey guys! It's been a while! I meant to update on the 8th of this month... but I was grounded then. For thoose of you who don't know, the 8th was my one year anniversary for being a writer! YAY! okay, now that that's out of the way.. Again, another short chapter and I'm sorry but I've been busy making another care package for a friend, drawing, doing character designs, hunting down a new violin, and christmas was a thing so I've been on a tight schedule...(PLOT TWIST! I HAVE A LIFE) :P sorry guys. I'll admit though, Kinda disappointed at not getting any reviews last chapter, so review this time to make up for it, kay? :3
Sorry again that this chapter's so short but... ya know... ANYWAYS! ENJOY! :D
"My name's Kat. What's yours?"
I looked up over at her for a moment, unsure of her motives or how to respond. For all I knew she could just want free pizza… Or money…
"Violet." I said swiftly. A bot approached the table with pizza on the plates attached to it's arms. It was a creepy looking mouse with a tutu on… It set the pizza down then waddled away clumsily. Gir immediately dug in and, though I was starving, I held my position as I breathed in the sweetly sickening smell of pizza.
"Sorry to approach you out of the blue but I was thinking I should make some friends… I'm new here so-" Instantly I felt my eyes lit with passion. Another new girl! I mean, I know I'm not technically new anymore but honestly I might as well be, with the new look.
"Really?! I'm new around here too!" I grinned, though having cut her of rudely. Meh. "That's great! Do you mind?" She gestured down at the remaining half of pizza which, much to my surprise, Gir had left untouched. "Yeah sure" I smiled and took a slice myself biting into it with pure happiness overriding my taste buds. She did the same, with her own look of joy to match, and after swallowing, we both managed to say "I love pizza" at the same time.
I'd found my new best friend.
We both laughed at our outburst then there was an awkward silence.
"I like you hair, I've never seen anyone that could pull of white…" She commented.
"Thanks, I always thought of myself as a winter" I smiled as I messed with a strand of the silvery hair.
We both finished our pizza and stood from the booth. "Do you wanna hang out tomorrow?" She asked with a smile. I nodded. "Sure, sounds like fun" I turned to Gir who was giggling at his reflection in the napkin dispenser. "Alright cool, same time same place?" she smiled and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. I nodded.
Kat left and I turned to Gir. "You ready to go home? Zim will be heading back soon" I said as I eyed the green dog down. He shook his head. "I STILL GOTTA HUG THE MOOSE" he squealed before chasing one of the poor animatronics. I shook my head and retook my seat. "I'll just wait here" I sighed.
"Is that Violet?" I whipped around to see a purple haired girl. Wow. A lot of girl's have purple hair here… Next to her were several kids I recognized, but couldn't quite pin.
"It is! Hey! It's me, Zita" The girl said as she waved. Two boys at her side smiled at me at the same time, very creepy… "Hi" I said awkwardly. "What ever happened to you? There were rumors you died but someone else said you moved after Claire- what's with the hair?" She asked. "I uh… I'm trying something new" I said with an awkward smile. "So you free to hang out? We never got to talk much" she said cheerfully. I glanced over at Gir… It might be a while before he's done… "Yeah sure. Have something in mind?"
"Actually, we're here on a pizza run for a party. Apparently this place doesn't deliver" she glanced at the fat cashier as he handed her friends several stacks of pizza. "You wanna come? it'll be fun- and Claire's not there" she winked and nudged my arm. "Uh…" I glanced back at Gir. He was sucking on the walrus's head… "Yeah let's go." I smiled and followed her as she led the way towards the door.
I knew Zim and Dib would have my head but… I've never been to a party.. What do they even do there? Play spin the bottle? obviously they eat pizza… play twister? That's a lot of pizza… how many people will be there? Are they just fat? Do people do adult stuff there? Doctor who marathon maybe? That reminds me… I still have yet to make Dib a whovian… this whole 'saving the planet' thing has gotten in the way… but still… a party... It's my only chance to fit in with normal teenagers….
TWO HOURS LATER.
'Oh god this music os so loud…. I wanna go home- that guy just puked… Why is this guy standing so close to me? This is nothing like I thought it'd be… I THOUGHT AT LEAST SOMEONE WOULD BE WATCHING DOCTOR WHO IN ONE OF THE ROOMS OF THIS MANSION OF A HOUSE but instead they're….' I shook my head at the thought. "And that's how I started playing guitar" The blonde standing to my left said in slurs. His cheeks were tinted red and his hand held a red solo cup. He had this strange look in his eyes I couldn't quite pin but… It's better than sitting alone on the couch alone…
Another guy puked in the sink and I let out a loud groan.
"I… think I'm gonna go" I said awkwardly as I glanced at the puking drunk with his head in the sink. "What?! You can't go- you just got here" The blonde said as he leaned on the counter. "Sorry, whatever your name is, but I've still got… homework to do" I said awkwardly.
"Name's Daniel… come on the party's still alive! If you want though," He paused and leaned closer. "We can go upstairs for a bit..."
"No thanks… I'm just gonna go-" I started to walk away but his arm suddenly cut me off and I was thrusted back against the kitchen counter awkwardly… and painfully. I bit my lip as I held in a grunt of pain, the granite digging into my back. I had bigger issues… "Uh…. could you move?" I asked. In response he simply began planting a trail of kisses up my neck. My eyes widened awkwardly as I tried my best to move and push him away. "Okay, this just got weird" I said in the awkwardest way possible. "Aww come on," He pulled away. "Don't say your not enjoying it." "Yeah, I'm really not.." I reached down and picked up my cup, watching as he backed away. I took a big gulp then immediately coughed. It tasted off… "Gah gross" I complained as I dumped the rest of it's contents into the sink, despite the guy's head still being there. He'll be fine. He's gonna need a shower tomorrow anyways…
"I really dig chicks with white hair" Daniel said as he leaned in again. This time though I attempted to push him away. But for some reason he wouldn't budge. Had I gotten weaker? I tried again only for my arms to fall at my side. Uh oh… "That's not normal" I said in concern.
My head began pounding and I turned to Daniel. "I think I'm going to be sick… I better go"
I moved away only to be pushed up onto the counter. "You're not going anywhere." That tone… It was so cold and void… The room grew cold and I began shivering violently as he pinned me in place. "I've never fucked a girl with white hair before" He grinned. I felt my blood run cold at those words. But there was a lump in my throat and I couldn't form any retort… I only gagged on air like there was a foul stench lingering around the room. Finally the words came, but they were weak. "H-hel...pp" I slurred out. My body was growing numb and my head still pounded. I could feel his cold touch though. He reached his hands between my thighs and pulled my legs apart, working his hands up slowly. I wanted to shiver, but my body was useless at this point.
He then picked me up and wrapped my arms around his shoulder. "I like to know what to expect" he whispered into my ear as we walked through the house.
"Going home so soon Violet?" Zita called as she approached. "Yeah, she asked me to drive her… She's so drunk I think she passed out" Daniel glanced at my half-opened eyes. "Nah she's still got some life in her. Well, see you at school" He waved slightly with his hand, despite it being latched onto mine in a death grip.
I wanted to scream. I wanted to kick and punch and more than anything I wanted to go home.
My gut twisted as he carried me out to his car and threw me carelessly into his back seat. It was a black prius with tinted windows, simple. He tucked my legs in and slammed the door. I wanted to sleep, I felt drowsy and I knew I wouldn't be able to resist it much longer, but I had to try. My eyes gave in and I could only listen as the door opened, the car shifted, keys jingled, and he started the car. I listened closely, the engine's gentle hum the last sound I heard as I gave into the fatigue.
…
"You know, originally… those drugs were for me… Parents just kicked me out. Said my money I gave as rent was drug money then threw it at my face… How do you react to those things? My parents always hated me. Said my brother was better, then he died. Never could live up to him though. I was going to OD and waste away with the world… even left my best friend Lucy behind.. But you know what?" He slammed his fist onto the steering wheel. "Fuck them. Might as well make the best of life before I OD later. I think there's still enough…" I opened one eye and glanced up at the back of his seat. I had to leave… I moved my arm and let my fingers twitch against the seat. "Always failing… got A's and B's… not good enough. Got into college- WASN'T FUCKING HARVARD" The car jerked left and then came to an abrupt stop, sending me flying off the seat. I moaned in pain, my body too stiff to even move. "They wanted a lawyer… I wanted a band. They wanted lots of money, so I got a job at a cafe. Said it was fucking drug money. It doesn't matter though, fuck them. I've got you for an hour then I get to die in a hole" I listened to his sobs as he then leaned against the wheel and began crying hysterically.
The car door opened and soon after, I felt the cold night air against my skin as he lifted me lazily and carried me inside- well wherever we were. At that point though, I felt less scared and more sympathetic towards the teen. Either way, I couldn't let him get away with overdosing or raping me…. I needed a plan. I could feel myself blacking out again and I let sleep overtake me for a brief moment.
Panic.
One of the many emotions I felt at the moment I felt my body hit a mattress. Mixed with fear and anxiety. I wanted to open my eyes but I couldn't let him know I was awake, that meant risking another drug dose… I felt hatred and sympathy towards him. He was a monster with the story of a saint. But even satan was once an angel… I heard his footsteps pattering away on the floors, which I assumed were carpeted since it was hard to hear.. The door of the room shut and, using all of my strength, I pushed myself up off of the bed into a sitting position.
Without warning, several gunshots fired outside of the room from below. I opened my eyes and observed the room. There was a door opposite the bed and a window to the right. The window was my best bet but judging by the gunshots below, I was on the second story of this place.
I climbed to my feet as quietly as possible and made my way to the window. I looked out and confirmed that I was on the second story then tried pulling on the window, but for some reason it was nailed in place. I knew I couldn't open it with how weak I was, So my only other option would be to try sneaking out past whatever was going on downstairs. More gunshots sounded and I could hear screaming and yelling. I hobbled over to the door then glanced down only to frown at seeing my sweater, shoes, and socks missing. Suddenly it dawned upon me. I'd left my violin at the party. My VIOLIN. Left behind! Someone would steal it and pawn it and I'd never see it again! But, even though that was a problem, there were even bigger issues at hand.
I gently twisted the knob of the door and pushed it open, shrinking back slightly as the hinges squeaked loudly. I paused and listened. There was an eery silence from below… Then, at the foot of the staircase, loud footsteps could be heard. Panic welled up as the stairs creaked louder and louder with each step. I stepped into the hall and looked around in a panic, sweat forming on my brow. I spotted a door, but it was thinner than the rest. I quietly stepped over to it and opened it, revealing several brooms and cleaning supplies. I gulped and glanced to my right, where the staircase was. A growing shadow crept closer and closer. Terrified, I eased my way into the closet silently.I left the door cracked ever so slightly, in fear that whoever was approaching would hear the sound of it shutting. I knelt down and watched the lighting through the bottom of the door, trying my best to breath quietly. If he heard my quiet pants… I'd be found. I watched in horror as two dark shadows lit up the hallway- his feet. They stopped abruptly and shifted ever so slightly towards the door. He was going to find me.
I wanted to cry, the suspense was going to give me a heart attack. I jumped slightly as the door knob moved, then…
The door swung open and I let out a gasp before lunging with all my might at the person. I threw a weak punch, which was swiftly caught in the hand of the offender. I let out a scream of terror before lunging another punch.
"Violet! cut it out!"
I paused at the edgy voice.
"Zim?" I asked before opening my left eye.
"Of course, stupid hyo- uhm... Let's just get out of here. The Dib-stink is worried." he said awkwardly. I hugged him tightly and sighed with relief. When I pulled away I couldn't help but smile at his now blushing face. "Thanks for coming for me- wait how did you know I was here?! Let alone in the closet?"
"After Zim returned to the base, I noticed you were missing… So I activated your nav beacon and followed you here. I took down the hyooman and then came up to locate your bio signature using this" He pointed to the small glass covering his right eye. He pressed a button on the side and the glass retracted into a small metal pole that his pak then swallowed up.
"What did you do to Daniel?" I asked.
"Simply put the human to sleep. Why? Are you here out of your own will?" He narrowed his eyes.
"No. Of course not… I mean I did attempt to kill you" I said with a frown.
"You were trying to kill Zim? What a PITIFUL FAILURE!"
"Yeah yeah… Does Dib know I'm gone?" I asked quietly.
"Uhh…." Zim gave me an odd look before pushing me up onto my feet and walking away.
