So, here's Chapter 3. Just because I don't want to make it long, I will just cut it short and write what happened for a month 2 paragraphs. To you who love Lucrecia Crescent, I know she's nice and all, but just to make the story a bit enjoyable, I made her a bit mean. Sorry if I offended you Lucrecia-Lovers . But, do enjoy! I do not own anything; I just own my character Violet Ryan.
It's been 1 month and 2 weeks since Violet works with Professor Hojo. Within that month, she was living like a servant that had been dragged by a cart. She had several bruises at her body because of Professor Hojo who likes to throw things at her, some even from him using her as an experiment. She gotten a bit closer to Vincent and her feelings for him grew stronger day by day. But, she found out that Vincent had feelings for Dr. Crescent and she was sad.
She barely even sees Tseng, Reno, Rude or Elena. She visited Tseng once in his office but he was busy. She saw Reno and Rude walking towards the elevator but they didn't say hi to her since they were in a hurry. She did talked to Elena once, but only when Elena was asking her a question. She felt like she was abandoned a bit since she worked for Professor Hojo.
The phone rang on her desk and she answered it. Professor Hojo was screaming at her:
"VIOLET! COME HERE AT ONCE!" and with that, the line was cut off. Violet gave a heavy sigh and went to him. As she entered in, Professor Hojo was yelling at her to sit on the chair.
"Now, sit still, I need to see what happens if I inject in this liquid" he said as he plunges the needle inside her flesh. Violet gasped a bit but then she felt something going around her blood very fast. She felt like her body was all numb and soon before she knew it, she was paralyzed.
"Interesting, very interesting" he said while he records the data in a paper that is attached to a clipboard. He then took a different injection and plunges the needle in Violet's flesh again. Violet went back to normal, but she felt a bit weaker.
Soon after that, someone entered in. It was Dr. Crescent. When Violet was first experimented, she found out that it was Dr. Crescent's, who is also known as Lucrecia, idea of using Violet as the specimen. She thought that Dr. Crescent was nice and sweet, but only in front of her guardian, Vincent. She is secretly in a relationship with Hojo.
"So, how is it? Your experiment" she said as soon after she hugged Hojo.
"It works out perfectly fine" he said. "Now, Violet, leave at once. Oh, and don't forget to finish the paper works and make sure it is nice. I want the president to impress with 'my' work" he then laughed with his monkey way.
"Ye..Yes, Professor" Violet then left. She was pretty sad with her life in Shin-ra right now. All she wanted to do is to go home to her family. She hasn't contacted them in a while. She went back at her office and glances at the clock; it was 4:58P.M. She packs up her bag and puts away everything. She opens her front door and bumped into Hojo and Lucrecia.
"Where are you going, Violet?" said Hojo in an angry tone.
"It's already 5P.M., Professor. It's time for me to go home" she said.
"Nonsense! You are not going home until you finish every last papers on your table!" he said while pointing at 10 more papers on her desk.
"But—"
"Do as he says, Violet, you don't want to upset your Professor, don't you?" said Lucrecia with a chuckle and then they both went off. She stared at blank space for couple of minutes, gives out a sigh and went back inside. She sat down on the desk again and finishes off the paperwork on her table.
After several hours, she stretches her back and looks at the clock; it was 8:47P.M. She took her cell phone and dial in her parent's house phone. No one picked up the first time. She called them again. Still no answer. She then called the third time. No answer. She gives out a sigh and pack up. On the way back, she was worried about her parents. "Where could they be?" she thought for a while.
She unlocks the door to her apartment and places her bag on the couch and plops herself on it. She looks up at the ceiling and thought of what happened. She worked with Hojo, who treats her badly, she loved Vincent, but he loves Lucrecia (who is secretly cheating him with Hojo), her best friends never talked to her, and her family is worrying her. She was very unlucky.
She sighed and went off to change her clothes. After several minutes, she went to the kitchen and cooked herself some rice. She ate silently. While she was washing the dishes, she looks at the clock. It was 9:30P.M. already. She wipes her hand on the towel and went off to the house phone.
She once again dials in her parent's house phone number. No one picks up still. She called them again. No answer still. After several of no answers, she gave up and went off to bed. She tosses and turns with an uneasy feeling. She looks at the picture of her parents and took it.
"Where are you guys?" she said while touching both of her parent's in the picture. She places the picture next to her pillow and fell asleep slowly.
The next day, she received an e-mail about an important Turks meeting in the afternoon. She works non-stop during the morning to finish the job early so that she can go to the meeting. "I finally got to meet with Reno, Rude, Elena and Tseng!" she said happily in her heart. It was already 11:50A.M. She finished the last few words on the paper. It was a perfect time to move to the meeting.
She leaves her office and went off to the meeting. She was suddenly cut off by Hojo.
"Violet, I need you in here now" he said to her.
"But, Professor, I have a meeting to attend to" she said while looking at him.
"You don't talk back to me when I told you to come in here!" he said as he picks her up by her collar.
"Ye..Yes, Professor. I apologize" she said with a worrying voice.
"Now come in!" he said as he puts her down.
It was already 1:30P.M. when Violet runs into the meeting place. The room was empty, except for Tseng.
"Ts..Tseng…." Violet said with a worrying voice. He looks at Violet.
"Violet, you didn't show up during the meeting. I really am upset"
"Tseng, I apologized! I was trying to but Pro—"
"Violet, enough. This is the third time you didn't attend to a very important meeting. I cannot allow that to happen again" he said as he looks at her. "You are no longer my secretary, Violet."
Tseng's words really made her shocked.
"Wh..What?" she said with questioning look. "Tse..Tseng?"
"You can no longer call me Tseng, you are to call me director, and we are now not friends anymore, just a director and a normal Turk. Understand?" he said and left the room, leaving Violet stoned in the room. She was holding her tears back from pouring down.
She snapped back to reality as soon as the phone rang. She answered it.
"Yes..Yes, Professor. I..I understand, I'm on my way…" she closes the phone and went off to the lab. When she arrived at the lab, Lucrecia was talking with Hojo.
"Ah, good Violet. Now take this paper work and finish it in your office. Now go on, shoo!" he said. Violet took the papers and brought them to her office. She took some of the papers and works on it. She heard footsteps from outside of the door. She ignored it and continued with her work.
After several hours, she was finished with her work and looks at the time. It was nearly 9:00P.M. She packs up and leaves the room. She left the Shin-ra building and headed towards to her apartment. On the way, she bumped into Vincent.
"Hey, Violet. How are you?" he said to her.
"Hey, Vincent. Pretty okay... How about you?" she said and managed to smile at him. They both walks towards the apartment together.
"Well, I'm great. Lucrecia and I had lunch together in the garden. It was pretty great" he said smiling happily. She looks at him. She smiled at him and then stared straight ahead.
"Hey, Vincent, is it okay if I tell you something?" Violet finally said after several minutes of silent.
"What is it?" he said looking at her.
"Er… Please don't be mad, but I think Lucrecia is cheating on you" she said looking away. Vincent fell silent.
"What makes you think of that?" he said, demanding answer from her.
"Well, don't you ever think why Lucrecia kept on coming to Hojo's lab?" she said looking at him.
"She said it's for business" he said it to her, protecting his Lucrecia.
"I know that Vincent, but she didn't let you come with her, didn't she? Doesn't that sounds like sh—"
"Listen, Violet. If you hate Lucrecia and trying to make her look bad in front of me, it doesn't work okay? I love her and she loves me, nothing else. You don't get into my business with her okay? I always thought of you as a nice girl and all, but I never thought that you would do this. You are annoying. Goodbye, Violet" said Vincent as he walks towards his side of the apartment.
Violet was left there alone, her feet glued to the ground. The sky started to rumble. She looks up in the sky. It started to drizzle. She then sped towards her side of the apartment. She unlocks the door and then closes it. She saw a letter next to her feet. She picks it up and places it on the table.
After an hour of changing the clothes and eating, she tore the letter open and read through it. Her face went pale, her legs shook, and her body feels weak and trembling. Her eyes were bursting into tears and soon after that, she was crying like mad. She fell to the ground hugging herself tightly, places her face to the ground. Next to her was the letter that was mentioning of her parent's death.
