Chapter 6:

The Tragic News

"Elsa?"

I helped Violet sit up. "Had another nightmare?" I felt stupid when I asked her that. I knew the answer but I couldn't help but ask. She nodded. She blinked a few times and tried to adjust to the light in the room.

We heard knocking at the door, I opened it, Julia was standing right outside as if she has been waiting for me for at least two thousand years.

"Are you ok Vi?", she asked as she leapt onto the bed and cuddled with Violet. "I guess I'm ok..." Violet responded as she rubbed her eyes.

Julia smiled a little bit. "So, uh, do you wanna build a snooowwwmmaaannnn?" Violet smiled at Julia's question but frowned when she had to tell her she can't.

She hated not spending time with the kids. She has grown attached to them also. I had to do my royal duties so I left her alone. "Julia, let's leave Violet alone for a little while."

Violet's POV

Elsa left me alone to tend to her royal duties and I was pretty bored. I finally was able to get up on my own and I walked around.

I used items around the room to keep me balanced. It's been I guess at least two weeks since that incident with my wrists and all that...

I walked around the room three times and I heard a knock on the door. I limped a little but I was able to reach the brass doorknob.

"Oh, Gerda, it's you. Come in." I said as Elsa's servant Gerda came in with a tray. It had my lunch. "Thank you Gerda." I thanked as she curtsied and left.

I looked at the food and it looked... How should I say it? ... Hmm... Mouthwatering? Yeah that's the word. It was a delicious looking salad. I like salads. I'm mostly vegetarian but I will eat meat from time to time.

I was in the middle of eating my salad until I heard my iPhone ring (yes, we have apple devices here in my world), I picked it up and it was my sister Katheline.

(Italics is the caller)

"Hello?" I asked as I answered the phone

"*sniff* Violet... Y-You w-won't be-believe what happened..." My sister stammered on the phone as she cried.

"Whoa, Katheline, slow down. Calm down. What happened?"

"I-it's M-Mom... S-She.. She's DEAD! SHE'S DEAD!"

I felt my stomach drop and my body felt heavy.

"W-What?!"

"S-She d-died in her s-sleep... H-Her funeral is in t-two days..."

"I'll call you back later, alright?"

"O-Ok. B-Bye."

I threw my iPhone on my guest bed and I grabbed a pillow to muffle my 'grieve' scream. I sobbed uncontrollably for a good two hours. I heard Elsa's voice at the door, "Violet? Can I come in?" I remained silent throughout the entire time, I hid under the bed in case she came in and she did.

I wish I could've hid somewhere better like a closet or something. 'Cause I felt really stupid after hiding under the bed.

"Violet?" I couldn't hold back my sobs and no matter how hard I tried to keep my tears in my sobbing voice was completely audible... Elsa looked under the bed where I was at, I curled into fetal position and whispered, "Please, just leave me alone."

Elsa just responded with a single word, "No." I looked at her shocked. I didn't show it though. I don't know why I was shocked. I guess I just was. "Violet, I don't like it when you're in this state, so please come out. We can talk about it."

I thought about it until I reluctantly nodded. I slowly crawled out and Elsa sat on the bed. She pats a spot next to her and I took the signal to sit down.

"So, what seems to be the problem?"

Elsa's POV

Violet was hesitant when I asked her that question. When I heard her answer it really got to me, "My mom... She died in her sleep..." I felt her pain. I was eighteen when my both of my parents died, Anna was only fifteen. They died at sea from monstrous waves in a vicious storm. "At least you still have your father."

Violet looked at me for a second with an unreadable expression before climbing onto my lap and sobbing some more.

"Shh, it's ok. It's ok to grieve." I cooed as I held her close.

I felt her tears drip down onto my chest. But, her tears weren't clear water, instead her tears were black. I believe it's her shadow powers acting up.

"Can you get off me for a minute? I need to go get something." I had a black dress that I wore when my parents passed. I thought and somewhat knew eventually she would ask if I had one, "B-before you leave... Uh... Do you, by a-any chance, h-have a black dress that I-I can wear?" I nodded before I left to my [old] room.

Anna passed by and she was excited to see me but frowned when she saw my facial expression.

"Elsa, what's wrong? Did something happen?" I looked at her before mumbling, "I'm getting my black dress for Violet." Anna knew what I meant by that and zipped to the guest room Violet was in.

It didn't take long for me to find my old room which is now Julia's. I rifled through the closet and I found my black dress. Julia found me about to walk out of the closet. "Mom what're you doing in my room and in my closet?" I turned around seeing her jump on her bed and I simply responded, "I'm getting a dress for Violet."

She stopped jumping, tilted her head, and smiled, "Ok!" I gave her a grin as I casually walked out.

Anna's POV

I heard a knock on the door as I sat with Violet. She was still grieving. I recall when I lost my parents... Ugh, that dread.

"Er... Come in!" I said as Violet cuddled with me. "It's me."

Elsa came in with her old black dress and closed the door behind her. "Here Violet..." Elsa whispered as she handed Violet her dress. "Thanks Elsa..." Violet mumbled as she slowly took the soft fabric from Elsa's hands.

She went to the bathroom to change. We waited on the bed for a few minutes before she came out with the dress on her. It looked so elegant on her. The designs on the bottom near the feet had tiny, pure white and baby pink flower designs and white swirls.

She was also wearing a matching black cloak. I immediately rose from the bed and hugged her. At least I try to make her feel better.

She did hug back though. "Can we go to the lake in the gardens?" she murmured under her breath as she slowly stopped hugging. Elsa and I nodded and we walked to the lightly guarded gardens. We passed the guards and we went to the shimmering lake.

Violet slowly took off her fishtail braids and let her hair loose. On occasions like this she lets her hair out and about. Her caramel brown hair was wavy and some strands flew onto her face from the wind.

When we stopped at the lake Violet picked a few flowers and went down on her knees and said a few words in Italian,

"Mamma ... Non riesco nemmeno a descrivere quanto sono triste sopra la vostra morte. Era così all'improvviso. Tu mi hai lasciato troppo presto. Voglio dire che mi dispiace ... Sono estremamente dispiaciuto per tutto. Mi dispiace per te bloccando il fidanzamento. Questa è stata la cosa più stupida che potrei aver fatto a voi e volevo solo essere come papà. Sai? Volevo solo essere indipendente.

Mi dispiace per urlare e urlare contro di voi su tutta la faccenda. Mi mancherai tanto ... Non potete immaginare il mio dolore. I miei poteri ombra sono vicino al vorticoso fuori dal mio controllo.

Questo è quanto mi manchi. Almeno ti ho visto per l'ultima volta prima avete passato su. Addio Mamma ... Riposa in pace... Rest in peace..."

Elsa and I cried a little bit. Queen Peach was really a great friend. She had such a kind nature. We're lucky to have met her when she was alive. Violet's speech was touching and deep, well Elsa and I do not know Italian though. Wish we could.

Violet put the bouquet of flowers onto a few lily pads and left them there. She hesitantly took a few steps away from them and continued her mourning when she turned around and walked away.
