And after a long break, I'm back with this half chapter. Hip hip hooray! I'm almost done with chapters two (Tired Of Good) and five (The Midnight Man. Finally), and still had time to write this. That's what I call progress after days of laziness and the worst writer's block I've ever had. (Ye-es! Score one for EsmeraldStar16!) Chapter Two will be up and running either later today or tomorrow Thursday. So yeah. I hope you read, enjoy and review.
This (half) chapter is dedicated to the following people:

-Chapter One and A Half: A Dream of the Past
I came running towards Violet, smiling, when I saw the somber face she wore.
"Before you say anything Becky, I'm sorry. I truly am. But I had no other choice." Regret filled her eyes.
"What do you mean, Violet?" My smile faded and my heart started to quiver with fear and anticipation of what she was going to say. Did she-no. She couldn't have! She promised she wouldn't!
"You didn't."
She looked down at the ground in shame. "I'm sorry, Becky. I had to."
"You promised you wouldn't! You promised me, Violet. You! Promised! Me! How could you?!"
"I had no other choice!"
My hands were shaking in an uncontrollable fury. I could feel my nails biting into the palms of my hands, causing me pain. But I couldn't really feel the pain, for the pain of betrayal hurt even more.
"But it's okay, right? We're still friends, and none of this happened?"
She said the wrong thing. Soon, she was holding her cheek, the blood from my wounds staining her cheek. My hand was stinging from a slap I couldn't remember even happened.
"Forget that you ever had a friend named Becky Botsford. Forget that you ever met me at all." I spat the words out like one spits out a bitter herb. I turned on my heel, and mourned. Mourned the death of a long bond, of a friendship, of trust. I woke up, crying. I remembered that I mourned so much, I cut off my white wings and grew black ones instead. Traded my halo for a crown of sin, and my pure clothes for sin-tainted ones. But what was going to happen next was going to set me flying with my new wings to find comfort in the dark, and in evil. I angrily wiped my tears away. Violet made me suffer. She only deserved to suffer as well. And she will. I will make sure of that. I looked at the clock on my wall. 1:06, it read. She will pay for her betrayal. I closed my eyes, that promise bringing comfort to my tattered and restless soul, and drifted to off sleep, smiling.
