Hey guys, sorry for the delay a lot of things have been going on. But now I'm back:) and here is chapter three.
Over the next few nights Alister went to the table to see Violet. He continued to be her body guard as Solomon was starting to get Alister's signs to move Gurimo away from her, he left anonymous notes about putting Gurimo in the attic it will be a while until Solomon follows the advice of Alister's note. Each night when he leaves to see her he was actually thrilled to do so. Despite his personal conflict of wanting to protect the other toys and not leave his friends behind, they assured him that Violet needed him and they would be fine patrolling without him.
When Alister goes and see's her they have a great time together. They actually left her clock to go around the store and talk about themselves, and when they return to the clock they would dance together for fun. They ended up doing different dances from ballet to the waltz, after that they would sit around and feed the swans in the lake. Each moment they spend they started to get closer, much to the dismay of a certain Jack in the box.
Gurimo was getting more and more angry with each moment he see's Alister and Violet together. He was the first toy to see Violet, they were neighbors and he claimed her as his and no other toy would have her. Now there she was with Alister laughing and having a good time, dancing with her and he saw in her eyes that she is enjoying the toy soldiers company. It infuriated him, it should be him with the ballerina not that mushroom headed soldier! what did he have that he didn't? how was he able to have her attention? her time? anything with Violet?
Alister climbed up the cabinet and saw Violet standing in front of the lake. He walks over to her with something in his hands, he had a bouquet of purple paper flowers that he made and gave it to her. Violet took the flowers and blushed.
"Hello to you to Alister," Violet says, "these are really nice."
Alister smirked. "I knew you like them, so whats on tonight's agenda?"
Violet went over to the radio near her Clock home. Solomon had put the radio there that day as he was dusting the store, Violet saw that throughout the day and had an idea for what her and Alister can do. She went and flipped the radio on and she turned the volume up, where a Spanish song came on. Violet spun around and snapped her fingers and did a pose.
"Care to do the Salsa? I thought we would do something different? What do you say body guard?"
Alister was surprised by the ballerina. Sure they danced before and waltzed but the tango was different, Alister takes off his hat and unbuttons his shirt. He took off his jacket and he was in a white lose shirt, Violet went wide eyed as she saw Alister out of his uniform. Violet never saw Alister like this before, his red hair was lose from his hat and without that heavy red uniform she can see Alister's slim body.
Alister looked over at Violet, "Are you okay?" he asked.
Violet shook it off. "It's just...you so different without the hat and jacket."
"Really?" Alister asks, "I didn't notice."
Violet looked at herself in the reflection in the clock. Suddenly she took out the bun holding some of her hair up and locks of long wavy hair fall and framed her face, next she removed her wings on her arms put them with the ribbon. Finally she started taking off her ballet shoes. Alister was wide eyed as he saw Violet only in the tutu and her hair was completely down, Alister thought she looked so free and easy going. He admits that he likes what he was seeing.
"And I thought I looked different."
Violet looked away flustered. "Well..since you took your stuff of, I thought I'd do the same...I look stupid don't I?"
Alister smirked and went over to her. He lifts her chin and looked at her in the eye.
"Would you care to dance, senorita?"
Violet smiled and before they knew it, they started dancing. Alister spun her and Violet turned her back on him and Alister held her hips, he became used to holding her during their dancing and smiled, Violet held his cheek and they tilted their heads to one another.
Gurimo, peeking through his box, was seeing everything and was getting more and more angry with each minute. How dare Alister hold her like that! that should be him not that girly looking mushroom cut prat! Gurimo gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
Alister lifted Violet into the air and spun around. He looked up at her as she looked back him, smiling at one another and having fun together. Alister put her down and his gaze softened.
"Violet?" He asked.
"Yes? Alister?" Violet said.
Alister was going to say something, but turned his head. "It's nothing, never mind."
Violet puts her hand on his cheek to look at him again. She smiled at him.
"Liar." She says softly.
The swans looked at the two of them, they dimmed the light on the clock and now Violet and Alister were in a more...appropriate setting. Violet closed her eyes and started leaning forward to Alister slowly, Alister's heart started racing and was flustered.
" I can't do this, I'm her bodyguard!"
Violet brushed Alister's hair on the side.
"We have a professional relationship nothing more, I have to put my foor down to how far this will go, that we can't do this! I'm supposed to protect her from Gurimo!" Alister opened his eyes a bit and looked at Violet almost touching his face "But..." Alister realized that Violet's lips are almost touching his. His half closed eyes softened.
"...Who am I kidding?"
Alister kissed Violet. Alister put his arms around her waist as Violet had her arms around his neck, the kiss deepened and lasted for a long time. He couldn't deny it anymore, he is in love with Violet, he loves the ballerina and Violet loved him back ten fold.
Gurimo went wide eyed and saw red as he saw them kissing. His breathing got heavy and his blood pressure increased.
"Why that little!-"
Gurimo popped out of his box and yelled in rage. Violet and Alister broke apart and were in shock by Gurimo's outburst.
"You have annoyed me for the last time toy soldier!" Gurimo grabbed Alister and lifted him in the air.
"Gurimo! what are you doing!?" Alister exclaimed through Gurimo's tight grasp.
"You kept me in this box for many nights! and each of those nights you torment me with you touching Violet!" Gurimo's teeth gritted, "and now that you kissed her you have gone to far!"
Violet panicked and tried to think of something. She looked over to where Alister left his hat and coat and she saw his sword, she ran over to it and grabbed it.
"Alister!" Violet called out to him, "Catch!"
She threw the sword to Alister and he got it. He stabbed Gurimo's hand and the jack in the box screamed in agony, Alister fell to the ground and Violet ran over to him where she dropped on her knees and lifted him up.
"Alister are you okay?" She asked.
Alister coughed a bit but looked at her. "Gurimo was cutting off my air supply, no I'm afraid the answer is no."
"I don't blame you one bit." Violet said.
Gurimo held his bleeding hand and looked over at the young couple with an icy stare with a hint of betrayal in them.
"Violet how could you!? don't you see that retrobat will never offer you happiness like I tried!? why do you choose him!?"
Violet rolled her eyes and glared at him, "You still don't get? since day one I never liked you Guirmo! I knew that you were hated because of how you treated the other toys in the store, a total of four kids cried when they saw you because you give off the impression of a creeper! no toy or child wants anything to do with you, and neither do I! I love Alister Gurimo, so play that tune when someone spins your box!"
Alister held in his laugh and looked at Violet with admiration.
Gurimo went red "You...you tart!"
Gurimo takes his good hand and struck Violet. She flew and hit the clock and it cracked, she fell to the ground and Alister was in horror.
"Violet!" Alister exclaimed, he turned his attention back to Gurimo with rage, "you're going to pay for what you did Gurimo!"
Alister charged and fought Gurimo, Alister was winning until Gurimo did something unthinkable. Something no toy should do to another, he picks up Alister and threw his sword into the fireplace where it burned. Violet started to wake up and she groaned, when she was fully awake she saw Alister in Gurimo's grasp and was wide eyed.
"Alister!" She cried out.
Gurimo sneered at the struggling toy soldier. "Farewell, toy soldier."
Gurimo was getting ready to throw Alister out the window. Alister looked over at Violet with a sad smile.
"Bye Violet."
Gurimo throws Alister out the window and Violet was in horror and in tears. She became hysterical, Alister had just been thrown out the window and now gone forever.
"Wha's goin on 'ere!?" Said a cockney accent.
Raphael and Valon heard screaming from the room. They ran as fast as they could, when they got there they saw Gurimo laughing in victory and Violet crying.
"What happened?" Raphael asked.
Violet looks down on the soldiers, she didn't say anything and only showed them a toy solider's jacket. They went wide eyed as they figured out who's jacket it was and Raphael saw that the window was opened and looked back at Gurimo. The blonde became angry and so did Valon.
"Gurimo has really done it this time!" Raphael said angrily with a hint of sadness in it.
Valon clenched his fists and his baby blue eyes glared at the jack in the box."e's going to pay for this, e's going to pay for what he did to poor Alister! even if it's the last thing I do!"
Violet still sobbed and cried his name.
"Alister!"
The yell echoed through the entire toy store.
Poor Alister, Violet, Valon and Raphael:( what will happen next? tune in soon to find out.
