Welcome to yet another chapter my(very few) readers. ^_^ This is literally right at the beginning of Hunger.
Violet sits in the back of the pick-up truck, sleep still tugging at her. She yawns and forces herself to sit up as the car rolls to the stop in front of a barren looking field. She steps out the car and sheilds her eyes from the early morning sun.
"I shouldn't be awake right now." She groans. "But we're all out of food."
"What about your two other sisters?" Quinn asks.
"Sonia's knocked out sleeping in the trunk, Krissy's still sick and I'm the only one who's actually realized we're low on food." She explains. "So, I'm basically the only one able to pick food."
"You said the trunk?"
"Sonic." Sam bangs on the side of the trunk, the lone girl layign inside it jumps to attention.
"Huh? What? WHO!" She swivels her head left and right. "I'm up! I'm up!"
"Come pick some cabbages." He pulls her out the trunk and sets her on her feet. The only thought runing through the yougners mind was: Since when was he that big?
"Cabbage?" She raises her eye brows. "That's that leafy stuff that parents tried to make me eat?"
"Uhh, yeah."
"FOOOD!"
Sam jumps back as Sonia makes a beeline for the field. Violet rolls her eyes and uses the only way possible to stop Sonia when she gets that way. She sticks out her foot as Sonia comes running past, the latter falling and rolling to a stop at the edge of the field.
"Ouch." She simply says, staring unfocusedly at the cabbage inches from her face. "That was mean, Violet!"
"Hmm? I didn't do anything." Violet lies. "You must've tripped on that rock."
"Oh..."
"Don't you need, like, a knife to harvest these things?" Edillo points out.
"Man, I'm just gonna rip this thing out the ground." E.Z pops his headphones into his ear and walks out onto the field to look for the perfect cabbage. Sonia stays on the ground, being as lazy as ever.
"Ohh, I want one!" Violet claps.
"I'll get it! I'm super helpful!" Sonia gets into a squatting postion. "And I'll get Krissy one too!"
"So that's why your brought her..." Sam realizes.
"Do you want one too, Sam!"
"Sure."
Sonia grabs the cabbage closest to the edge of the field, not to trusting of fields, mostly because the last time she went in a field, she found a dead crow. Not that good an experience.
"Go Sonic go!" Violet teases.
"Damnit Violet, that's not my name!" She snaps.
"So sorry, won't happen again, Sonic."
"VIOLET!" Sonia jerks her hand back, ready to throw a punch at her sister.
Sonia freezes in horror at the big worm gnawing through her favorite glove. She starts waving her arm wildly, running in circles and screaming "Get it off!"
"Sonia, damnit, it's just a worm! Go back and pick our dinner!" Violet huffs.
"IT BIT ME!"
"Drama Queen, worms don't have te-"
A scream to match hers erupts from E.Z. Everyone swivels their head to see E.Z clutching his hand. He comes staggering forward, when suddenly tons of worms come bursting out off him. Violet dry-heaves at the sight, Sonia compares the worms coming out of E.Z to the one gnawing on her leather glove(and pretty close to her hand by now) and quickly flicks the glove off. Sam, Edillio and Albert just stare in horror.
They stare down at the remaining bones in silence, shocked at what just happened.
"The FAYZ is a dangerous place..." Violet mutters, backing away slightly.
"So much for cabbage." Sonia sighs, rubbing her stomach idly and doing what she usually does: Erase the bad memory.
Sam gives her a funny look as if to say, Your thinking about food after just witnessing that?
She catches the look and returns it with one that said, You know you are too.
Violet groans, "Why? Why does this world hate me so?"
She was stuck all alone at home, sick and just about coughing up her lungs. She could only wish it would end that easily. She punches her headboard angrily, sucking in a pained hiss of breath as she realizes the thickness of the wood. She begins cursing up a storm with many sneezes in between. She lays back down face first, "Maybe I'll get lucky and suffocate... If only."
She screams into her pillow, hating the feeling of being sick. She couldn't do anything and she couldn't stop coughing. She throws a little tantrum, beating the matress. She takes a deep breath and sits up, looking around the room.
"I'm very sorry mattress. You did nothing to deserve that." She sighs. "Maybe I can sleep it off."
And she does just that for the next 6 hours before her sisters return.
"Kristy! I brought more medicine!" Sonia announces her being there. "But no cabbage beca-mmf!"
Kristy leaves the safety of her bed, feeling wonderful. She takes the stairs two at a time, eager to great her two sisters(older and younger, even if they are triplets).
"Huh... Your better?" Violet looks Kristy up and down. "That was fast."
"I know! I'm so happy now!" Kristy bounces up and down eagerly. "Now if you don't mind, I'm gonna go see what Petey and Astrid are up too."
Sonia watches as her not-so-exact copy goes bounding out the house and into what was known as Perdido Beach.
"Heey, maybe she's a freak!" Sonia snaps her fingers in realization, Violet giving her a dirty look at he choice of words. "And she has fast healing powers!"
"I really doubt that's the case." Violet sighs. "She probably just had 24 hour flu."
"Hmm..."
"What?"
"Your explanation is boring." Sonia turns and walks out the house, considering she couldn't go to the empty kitchen for a snack.
Violet sighs, rolling her eyes at her two extremely strange sisters. She then groans as another headache comes to torture her. She goes searching through the practically bare shelfs for some Advil or some kind of pain killer.
