The Diary of Violet
Chapter Thirteen: Chained Angel
Violet POV
Dear Diary,
It's another day at school, and Zero's acting strange. Ciel's been acting over protective again and there's no sign of Winnie yet. Amu is with Ikuto somewhere (I'm guessing homeroom already) and Ciel's trying to read what I'm writing. I'm really getting scared for Winnie. Yaya's yelling in my ear, but I don't know what she's saying. Diary, where is Winnie? Why isn't she here today? Anyways, that's the bell . . . I better get going. I'll write to you later, I promise, okay?
Signed with Love,
Violet
Ciel grabbed my hand and helped me up off of the bench I was sitting on. He rubbed the corner of one of my eyes, and I realized I was crying for no reason. I smiled and wiped away my meaningless tears and let him lead me to class. No words were needed for this moment . . . just me and him. After he dropped me off at class, I noticed Winnie sitting next to me. I looked at her in surprise.
"Winnie!" I called to her, making her look up at me. I gasped in shock, and covered my mouth with my hand. She had a big black bruise on her left eye, her lip busted and cut, some scratches on her face, her right hand was bandaged and there were probably other things that I couldn't see.
"Oh," Winnie smiled suddenly, and I noticed her flinching at the pain, "Why hello there Violet-chan." She looked back down at her notebook and began drawing again.
"What happened Winnie?" I asked, "Is . . . is your Father the way mine used to be up until recently?" I whispered to her. I saw some tear droplets land on her notebook. I saw her sweet smile.
"Oh, you mean Papa?" she asked in a soft and mysterious voice, "Papa's just being himself. Don't worry about me, I know what I'm dealing with, Violet-chan."
I frowned and noticed Zero walk into the almost empty classroom. I looked over to him. He looked surprise, his gaze on Winnie and I.
"Oh look, Winnie decided to show up," Zero suddenly commented, sitting on the other side of me. I glared at him.
"Zero, don't be so cruel!" I exclaimed, getting a few stares, "Look at her closely . . ." Zero rose a brow but obeyed my order, sitting in the desk in front of Winnie.
"Hey, Winnie, what's up?" he asked, his brow furrowed in confused. I saw Winnie look up at Zero and smile.
"The ceiling and sky," she replied and I saw Zero's shocked face as he saw her.
"What happened?" he asked, and I heard a hint of concern hidden deep in his almost cruel sounding words.
"Oh nothing," her pink lips twitched up in a smile that was almost now sickeningly sweet now, "Papa and I just discussed how life is. Everyone does that right?" I saw a few other people notice Winnie and they came pouring in like a flood.
"Oh my, Winnie-chan!" some exclaimed, "What happened?"
Winnie put on that smile and told them a fake story and she looked mysteriously happy. How could she do it? How can she lie so easily and make it look like she's happy still? I don't get it, Diary. I may not be writing my thoughts down now but I can still think them to you, right? Either way, how is it possible? We probably have the same past yet . . . she handles it so well. Better than me, and I thought I was doing so well . . . either way, I need to help her, and make her understand that we went through the same thing.
"Violet-chan?" I snapped out of my thoughts and found the hand of Winnie waving in front of my face. I looked up and smiled.
"Yes, Winnie-chan?" I asked, my lips twitching up in a smile of my own that felt fake.
"It's time for Home Economics," she replied.
"Oh, I'm coming."
Winnie . . . what's wrong with you?
Amu's POV
It was time for Home Economics and the sophomores will be with us juniors. I saw Violet walk in with a girl who was wearing a mysterious smile and she looked beat up. I felt my eyes widen. It was Winnie!
"Violet-chan!" I called out. She looked up and smiled. The girl Winnie smiled too, and waved a bandaged hand. What happened to her? Violet's smile seemed sad but she continued walking along, Zero following closely behind her. That kid was still chasing after her, when she was clearly in love with Ciel? I shook my head and looked next to me, seeing Tadase.
"Oh, hi Tadase-kun," I greeted, my heart pounding in my chest. I've liked Tadase ever since elementary school, though Ikuto . . . Ikuto I think I might love . . . I don't know . . . how can I be in love with two people? Ikuto already knows and he said he was determined to win my heat no matter what . . .
Flashback
Ikuto was walking me home from school and he stopped abruptly a few steps before my gate. I looked up at him in surprise.
"Ikuto?" I whispered in concern. He seemed a bit pained.
"Amu . . . you like Tadase, right?" he asked. I blushed and looked at my feet in embarrassment and nodded lightly.
"Well . . . I just want you to know that I will do anything to win your heart, Amu. Anything."
I looked up in shock and Ikuto grabbed my shoulders, pressing his lips down on mine. I felt and strong wind blow and I was shocked. He pulled away and walked off.
"Ikuto . . ." I whispered.
End Flashback
Tadase smiled at me and the teacher started picking out groups.
"Okay class, we're going to mix things up a bit," the teacher announced, "Juniors and sophomores will be mixed together."
So, I was paired up with this guy named Kairi, Ikuto was paired with Violet, Ciel was paired up with Winnie, Zero paired with Saaya, and Tadase was paired up with Yaya, while others were paired up with the remainder of students.
We were all instructed to make a chocolate cake. I got chocolate smeared on my apron and cheek, while Kairi was getting very technical about it. I heard Violet scream and Ikuto was trying to save the batter of the cake from getting in her eyes and hair while Ciel was yelling at him and so was Zero. Ikuto's facial expression was priceless. Winnie looked calm and she mixed with batter and such without getting a single thing on her at all. Saaya was throwing herself at Zero while I saw Winnie twitch at least once in annoyance and possibly jealousy. Yaya was yelling too with a bright smile on her face and a sparkle in her eyes and Tadase was smiling and sweat dropping, laughing nervously. I laughed and noticed the kitchen was really loud. I looked around for the others such as Rima and Nagihiko but I couldn't see them anywhere. I shrugged and continued on working.
When we were ready to put the cake in to bake, Kairi started getting a technical again. I laughed nervously and looked back over at the others. It was almost the same scene except Violet was being held behind Ikuto while Zero, Ikuto and Ciel yelled at each other. Violet mouthed 'Help me' to me but I laughed and heard the timer of the oven ding. I took out the cake and got out the icing. I put on the icing carefully and decorated it. When time was up I saw that all of my friends were done as well. Probably because of Winnie, Violet and a bit of Zero's help with Saaya.
Su-sempai walked around and gave us all a grade. When she came to my table she gave me a smile and scribbled something down, continuing on. She said that we could all take our cakes home. Kairi let me keep ours, Saaya gave hers to Zero, Ciel gave his to Winnie while Ikuto gave his to Violet.
"Hey, look!" someone exclaimed at the back of the room, "It's snowing!" We all gasped and rushed to look outside. It was snowing really hard! The principal suddenly came on the loud speakers.
"Attention students," his voice boomed, "Due to snow and repairs that must be made to the school, you are dismissed early." Students howled in excitement and grabbed their boxes with cakes inside it, heading out of the door and grabbed their stuff.
"Hey, Amu, want to go to my place?" Ikuto asked once we were outside. I smiled and nodded and he grabbed my hand, bringing me closer. I smiled and he planted a kiss on my forehead. I looked over and saw Violet with Ciel and Zero and Winnie walked off separate ways. I frowned. Why won't Zero talk to Winnie? I mean, it's not like Violet would break up with Ciel to be with him . . . she loves him too much. So why won't he try to get together with Winnie? They would make a nice couple . . .
"You okay?" Ikuto suddenly asked. I smiled up and him and nodded.
"Yeah . . . I was just thinking . . ."
I looked back at Winnie sadly and sighed, following Ikuto to his house.
Poor girl . . .
~*~*~*~
Normal POV
Once all of the student evacuated, a boy walked by and smirked. He had short silver hair and green eyes with specks of honey mixed in. He chuckled.
"Well, hair dye doesn't last forever then . . ." he chuckled, pulling lightly on his silver hair.
Who was he? Well, you should know! It's Seth and he's after his prey . . . but something unexpected is about to happen to him.
A light thud was heard a mile ahead of him. He rose a brow and walked over to the scene. I petite girl was laying in the snow, her long light pink hair sprawled out in her creamy pale skin. She was wearing a puffy black dress, gloves that went passed her elbows and a pair of shoes that tied up her leg into a bow (A/N: The picture will be on my pofile) and she looked like a little child sleeping in the cold snow.
"Hey!" Seth called, walking close and kneeling in front of the girl. He shook her shoulders and her eyes opened slowly. She opened them half way and they were a liquid like silver, which surprised Seth a bit. He had never seen such eyes. She had a collar like device around her neck with a chain hanging off of it (A/N: Look for Ikaros from Sora No Otoshimono to see what that looks like).
"Master . . ." she whispered, grabbing hold of his hand and closing her eyes again, a faint smile spread across her light pink lips. "It's been awhile . . ."
Seth looked shocked and he called out to the girl again but she fell back asleep in the snow. He cursed and picked up the girl, heading off to his old home.
Once he got to his home, he placed her on his bed and took a closer look at her and his eyes suddenly widened at the sight of her back.
"Wings . . .?"
Moona: I know! Another OC! Pffft- I fail, right? xD Anyways, Review please!
