Here's Chapter 4. Please review it~ ^^ I would really, really appreciate it! :D Thanks!
Her world seems upside down now. She could no longer feel the happiness that she felt several months ago. She lost the 4 people that were important to her; Tseng, her parents and Vincent. She also lost Reno, Rude and Elena. She bumped into them on the way out of her apartment. She wanted to greet them, but instead, the three of them scurried away quickly.
Her face shows no emotion; her heart is heavy and cold. Her body seemed weaker than before; her eyes were puffy from crying all night long. She walked silently towards her office. Several minutes after entering her office, her phone rang. She answered it. It was Hojo:
"Violet Ryan! Come in here at once!"
"Yes, Professor"
She entered the room, finding Lucrecia and Hojo hugging each other. He injects her with a substance and signaled her to enter a large glass container. Without hesitation, she enters it. Soon, after that, water began pouring inside the glass container. Violet was worried and started look at Hojo who was writing something on the clipboard that he had in his hand.
Violet holds her breath as the water was now over her face. She was now running out of it. She started to panic but her body suddenly went stiff. She can no longer hold her breath any longer. Soon, everything went black.
She then woke up by the sound of metal door opening. She was still in the water; she looked around and found herself breathing underwater. She looks at her hand and found her fingers were attached together by something that is stretchable; something like a fish would have. She touches her neck and looks into the reflection of the glass container; it was gills.
She started to panic a little, until she saw a figure standing right in front of the glass container; it was Vincent. She rubs her eyes; thinking that the water makes her eyes blurry, but, the figure is still Vincent. She then saw Lucrecia going towards him and started hugging his shoulders.
He looked at her and started ask her questions that Violet can't hear. She turned around and found Hojo in the back, writing on a piece of paper. He then goes to the computer and type in something; the water in the container slowly drained away leaving Violet gasping. Several moments after that, all the water disappeared and Violet transforms back to human slowly. The glass container's door opened; making Violet crashes on the ground. She gasped and coughed; her clothes were also soaked.
"This is brilliant! I made a new weapon! Hahahahahahaha!" exclaimed Hojo happily.
"Yes, Professor. You really are brilliant!" said Lucrecia, praising him. Vincent was speechless; he kept on looking at Violet, who was struggling to get up. Violet looked up at him and then she looked away and tries to get up with the last of her energy that she had.
"Owh, now that I remembered, Lucr—I mean, Dr. Crescent, would you mind following me to the Crystal Forest? I heard there are excellent and amazing plants and animals there, which would be brilliant for my next experiment!" said Hojo as he looks at Lucrecia.
"I would love too! But, I have to bring my Vincent along since he's my bodyguard" said Lucrecia as she looks at Vincent who are now in the conversation with them.
"No matter, I will also have to bring this specimen, Violet, with me; along with 4 other Turks. They will come in handy when I want to look for something. Now Violet, go back to your work at once! We will start the journey tomorrow" he said as he turns around and faces the computer again.
Violet stood up and was shivering violently. She limped slowly towards the door; passing both Lucrecia and Vincent without a glance. She then left the room and went into her office. She slumps herself on the chair and rests her head on the back of the chair. She took a few deep breathes and places her hand on her forehead.
"What a 'great' life I have" she thought to herself. She stares at the ceiling blankly. She soon heard several footsteps outside her office. "That sounded like 4 people are walking, maybe it's the Turks he was talking about" she guessed. She then rolls her sleeves up, and started to continue her work as if nothing happened to her.
Several hours into working, she started to stretch her back. Her clothes dried quickly than she thought it would be. She glances at the clock; it was 4:55P.M. She sighed silently and her stomach started to grumble. She had forgotten about lunch. She sighed again and packs her things up.
She then leaves the room and locks it. She heard some people coming towards her direction and looks at them. It was her ex-best friends, Tseng, Reno, Rude and Elena. Vincent was also there. She looked at them and they looked at her back. There was an awkward silent fell in the narrow hallway.
She then smiled weakly, turned around and speed walking towards the exit. She hadn't realized that her tears were streaming down when she started to run towards her apartment. She covers her mouth with her hand and runs faster and faster. She took the stairs instead of the elevator. She slammed her door shut and slid down on the door. She held her forehead and hugged her legs. After several minutes, she stood up and took a bath. She cooked something for herself. Instead of eating it, she stared at the food.
She suddenly felt dizzy and her chest started to hurt badly. She coughed violently and fell from the chair. She managed to use her hand to break the fall. All she can see around her is darkness. As she cough, red liquid started to pour out of her mouth. She can no longer breathe properly; her chest burns really badly. Her body ached; her hands are numb, her feet are soaring, her back starting to get weaker, her head kept on flashing images that shows darkness in her mind and she can't stop coughing blood. She can no longer hold any of those pains and pass out.
