Ch. 48 Heavy in Your Arms
Caine's P.O.V.
No matter what Violet had said about helping to clean up the mess after Eris came and grabbed Eric, I couldn't help but feel uneasy. Something worse than hell was going to happen, and even more so I had a feeling it was going to happen to the young demigod. There was something pulling at me inside to go find her and give her back up.
When I arrived at Eris's mansion part of the place looked like it had been lit on fire. Then I smelt blood- and it was Violet's. My ancient senses led me to her through the thick rain. In seconds I was drenched.
After a few minutes of searching I saw her laying motionless except when she would seize up and scream in pain.
"Violet!" I yelled and in an instant was bending down to pick her up.
I was a heavy heart to carryMy beloved was weighed downMy arms around his neckMy fingers laced to crown.I was a heavy heart to carryMy feet dragged across groundAnd he took me to the riverWhere he slowly let me drown Blood poured out from every corner of her body it seemed and the scent filled my senses. It was first strong, then intoxicating, I almost dared to take a lick off her cheek but stopped myself when she whispered my name.
"You're going to be ok. Hang in there Violet." My voice was thick with hunger and sadness.
My love has concrete feetMy love's an iron ballWrapped around your ankles Over the waterfallI'm so heavy, heavyHeavy in your armsI'm so heavy, heavyHeavy in your arms Her eyes closed shut as I ran with her in my arms. The rain still hammering down, her heart beat becoming more and more feint, and my hunger becoming all most too much to bear. But I couldn't let her down. I had to save her. Hopefully my blood would be enough.
And is it worth the wait All this killing time?Are you strong enough to standProtecting both your heart and mine?Who is the betrayer?Who's the killer in the crowd?The one who creeps in corridorsAnd doesn't make a sound
"Don't you dare give up on me! Stay with me!" I screamed at her and finally got to my house I was renting just outside Bon Temps.
Violet's freezing, shaking body was completely limp and I was really starting to panic. After kicking open my front door I ran to my bedroom and placed her on the bed. Quickly I ripped her shirt off to see cuts so deep you could see a few bones in places.
My love has concrete feetMy love's an iron ballWrapped around your ankles Over the waterfallMy love has concrete feetMy love's an iron ballWrapped around your ankles Over the waterfallI'm so heavy, heavyHeavy in your armsI'm so heavy, heavySo heavy in your arms
I bit into my wrist and poured my blood onto her wounds. She was too gone beyond this point to even move except for the occasional twitch.
"You're going to be ok. You're going to be ok. I just need you to drink my blood now Violet. Come on," I whispered and lifted her head up with one arm while putting my wrist I bit into against her mouth.
This will be my last confessionI love you never felt like any blessing (Ohhhh)Whispering like it's a secret Only to condemn the one who hears itWith a heavy heartHeavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms(i'm so) Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms(i'm so) Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms(i'm so) Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms At first she made no movement and I didn't know what else to try. I called for her mom, Maximus, and any other gods up on Olympus to help me but no one answered.
"Son of a bitch! Violet take it!"
I was a heavy heart to carrymy beloved was weighed downMy arms around his neckMy fingers laced to crownI was a heavy heart to carryBut he never let me downWhen he had me in his armsMy feet never touched the groundI'm so heavy, heavy in your , I'm so heavy in your arms.
Then out of no where she started to drink. I was relieved but still worried as I cradled the young goddess to me. As the seconds came and went she became more and more thirsty. It had been over eight hundred years since I had let someone drink my blood and it felt weird. Though sense my life force was going into Violet I could soon feel some sort of bond forming. A blood bond…
When she couldn't take anymore Violet flung her back from my wrist and breathed in one huge lung full of air before fully passing out. It took me awhile to let her go and smelling my blood from her mouth turned me on more than ever. While I battled with my lust I cleaned the rest of her face with a cold cloth and carefully but quickly changed her into one of my shirts and a pair of shorts.
I secretly hoped when she waked up she wouldn't be mad at me for doing so, but I could bet she wouldn't be. Or so I thought.
I couldn't help but watch her as she slept tirelessly on my bed. The fire flickering in the fireplace the few yards away from where she was mimicked her actions on the walls. Violet's breathing was heavy and I could see glowing come from under my shirt she was wearing. It was a bright red, and I guessed it was from the tattoo she got from her and Eric's bond. How the bond was now, I had no idea, but I continued to watch her until someone was in my house.
When I raced down the stairs I saw Pam. Just an hour before I called her after cleaning Violet up. She looked panic stricken.
"Is she ok?"
I told her to follow me and she went to kneel by Violet's side as soon as she saw her. Pam's face looked saddened and then turned into fury.
"Who did this to her?" Pam was seething by now and I told her I didn't know for sure.
"When I found her she was alone. I'm thinking it could have been Eris, Eric, or something else entirely."
I looked at Violet again and placed my hands in my pockets. Pam paced back and forth looking like she was thinking until she shivered. I asked her what was wrong and she said Eric was calling her. "He feels different." She winced this time and I looked at her strangely.
"Can't you just ignore it right now?" I asked a little annoyed. The prime focus right now was Violet, not the damn Viking wanting to see his kid.
"He might kill me if I don't go," Pam said worried and I growled.
"I'm going to kill you if you do. Besides he could have done this to her! Look at her Pam!" My anger was getting the better of me and I didn't know if I was going to be able to calm myself down. "They could have done it together!"
"He's calling me though damn it! What am I supposed to do? Ignore him?" She cursed and I shoved her into the wall.
"I am ordering you as your superior to stay," I gritted through my teeth and saw the fear in Pam's eyes. Truth be told I didn't want to treat her like that but I didn't have the time nor patience to deal with petty bullshit.
"You're signing my fucking death warrant you know." She hissed and I stared her down.
"Eric Northman might be all powerful and mighty, but I am older and stronger than him. Don't. Forget. That."
After a few more hours Pam looked like she was itching to get out the door.
"Is it really that hard for you?" I spat at her coming back from checking on Violet. She still had not woken up. I just wanted her to open her eyes, to know I was there for her, that she was safe.
"Of course it's fucking hard! Eric is going to rip my fucking head off Caine!" Pam did look agitated. Her eyes kept darting towards the door like she was expecting something or someone-
"Knock! Knock!" It was him.
"Pamela go to Violet. No matter what you hear or think is going on, do not leave her side. Do you understand me?" I commanded and she nodded before leaving up stairs.
I opened my front door and there stood Eric. He reeked of evil. It was coming off of him in waves. Let's not forget to mention the cocky look on his face.
"Well, well, well, you are home," He grinned and made to step in. "Aren't you going to invite me in?"
My hands were at my sides and even more white from the force I was trying to hold back from ripping this Viking's head off. "Leave now."
Eric's expression turned dark and his fangs clicked down. "You have something of mine."
"If I have to tell you again young vampire-" I began to threaten but youngster here had the balls to try and get past me.
Before Eric was even over the threshold I grabbed the front of his neck and squeezed. He immediately froze and his eyes went wide as his jaw began to crack. "She is mine."
My eyes narrowed at the panic stricken Viking and I tossed him into the night like a rag doll.
It took him a good minute to recover before choking, "Pamela is my child!"
Pamela? Does that mean he doesn't know about Violet?
I hid my confused emotions with the seething hatred I was feeling towards him about Violet. I knew he had something to do with her battered and tortured body.
So I completely went along with it. "Not anymore. Leave or I'll kill you." My words were a promise and he at least wasn't stupid enough to not believe it.
"This isn't over," The defeated Viking hissed and stood up.
"Not by a long shot." And I slammed the door.
Violet's P.O.V.
My body felt heavy and my mind more so. I was afraid to move or to open my eyes until I heard a door close and felt a presence.
With a tiny crack I opened my eyelids and saw a woman with blonde hair, white skin, and wearing a black dress that was as serious as her expression on her face. My heart began to panic once she called out my name and zipped to my side in an instant.
She must be a vampire!
I screamed and a handsome man appeared in a second at my side on the bed.
"Violet! You're awake!" He beamed and I scooted off the sheets and into the corner on the far wall.
"Who are you?" I asked scared and looked at the man again.
He was tall, and his face gorgeously chiseled. I could only imagine what he looked like underneath his clothes, but my fear was becoming too overbearing as I looked into his eyes.
"Violet it's us. Pam and Caine. Don't you remember?" The woman who was named Pam asked and stepped forward.
"Stay back!" I breathed in haste and tried to run past her but the man caught me from behind.
He tried to turn be around to look at him but I was putting up a fight. I had no idea who they were, where I was, whose clothes I was wearing, and why I couldn't remember.
"Violet calm down! It's ok. You're safe with us." The man tried to sooth me but all I wanted to do was get away.
As I continued to scream and cry for him to let me go he began to take me back to the bed.
Oh god he's going to rape me! Please someone help!
My body started to turn more and more hot until flames flickered across my skin. The man let go of me instantly and yelled in pain while the woman swore. I didn't know what to do besides run through the open door and found a staircase leading down stairs. My feet were becoming cold as I zipped across the marble floor and finally I found the front door.
The man and woman were right behind me. I was afraid they were going to try and grab me so I turned around and struck my hand out. A sea of fire flew out of palm and created a wall blocking them from getting to me while I escaped out the door.
