As the months roll by, various events have happened as the five of them tries to uncover the mystery of E. Ihrin and now V. Sackville-bagg.
During their new adventure together, they get to know one another a bit more. Especially learning more about Tony and Violeta's strong bond they have for one another.
During the end of the first month, Tony wanted to show how amazing his cousin was by causing a bit of mischief.
"Flashback to the beginning of June~
Tony and Rudolph were hiding behind the corner of the castle wall spying on Violeta in the hallway reading a book by a nearby table with a vase on it.
"Are you sure this is going to work Tony?" Rudolph asks him as they spied on the purple highlighted girl.
"Of course it will Rudolph!" Tony said to his best friend his best friend as he put his plan into action.
Tony held a baseball he brought from home and rolled it to Violeta's direction.
Violeta was in her zone until she felt something underneath her foot.
Violeta slips on the item and bumped into the table as she was about to fall on the ground.
Violeta plants her hand on the ground, used her body to do a backhand cartwheel, stood up. grabs her book and stopped the table from making the vase fall on the ground.
Rudolph and Tony were in awe on the way Violeta handled herself to almost falling on the ground.
Violeta sighs in relief knowing that she stopped a disaster from happening. Violeta looked down at the ground and spotted the baseball on the ground.
"TONY!" Violeta shouts in anger in annoyance knowing that it was her cousin's doing.
"I think we should head out before she finds us…" Tony said to Rudolph in a sheepish tone of voice.
"I agree." Rudolph replies to Tony quickly.
The two of them were about to head out of the area until an irritated Violeta spotted them and began to chase after them.
~End Flashback~
Another time was Anna and Violeta becoming best friends with Anna learning something new about Violeta.
~Flashback to Anna and Violeta in their room~
Anna and Violeta were having fun in their room together until the little vampiress sneezed.
"Scuzati-ma! (Excuse me!)" Anna said to herself as she covered her nose and mouth.
"E in regula! (It's okay!)" Violeta said to Anna in a nonchalant way without noticing.
Anna's eyes grown wide before she spoke to Violeta.
"You can speak Romanian Violeta?!" Anna asked to Violeta excitedly.
Violeta scratched the back of her neck before she answered Anna's question.
"Yes." Violeta replied to Anna.
"Incredible! Who taught you?" Anna asked Violeta in excitement.
"My Strabunica (Great grandmother) taught me at age six. Since my dad's side of the family is from Romania, he would let me to stay with her for the summer sometimes." Violeta explained to Anna with a warm smile on her face as she thought about her Strabunica.
"Wow! What is her name?" Anna asked Violeta out of curiosity.
"Her name is Elenuta Sander. She is the most bravest, kind, loving and passionate women from my father's side of the family." Violeta replied to Anna.
Anna realized something now that she learned that Violeta can speak Romanian.
"If you can speak Romanian, how come you wanted me to read the letter instead of you?" Anna asked out of curiosity.
"Well, my Strabunica taught me how to speak, but she never taught me how to read the writings of the language because of her eye sight was a bit bad." Violeta explained to Anna about the letter situation.
"I understand." Anna said to Violeta as she understood the situation.
Then all of a sudden, Anna had an idea.
"I can teach you!" Anna said to Violeta happily.
"Really? I don't want to impose Anna.." Violeta said to Anna in a surprise as she doesn't want to ruin Anna's time with the boys.
"You're not imposing anything Violeta! I'll be happy to help!" Anna said o Violeta with a smile on her face.
Violeta couldn't help but sighed in defeat before she replied to Anna.
"Teach me everything you know Professor Anna!" Violeta said to Anna happily.
"Absolutely!" Anna said to Violeta in excitement.
That's when the two of them began to bond as Anna taught her Romanian writing and more.
~End Flashback~
As the vampire kids were getting close to Violeta,
Tony couldn't help but feel a bit jealous that he wasn't having a chance to spend some time with his cousin alone.
Until day, his jealousy might've been notice by Violeta and was also a chance to know Rudolph a bit more.
~Flashback to a really early morning of the beginning of June~
Violeta was brutally awoken by the sound of a slammed door.
Violeta checked to see if Anna was awoken by the sound. Luckily, her coffin is still closed and untouched.
After checking on Anna,
Violeta gets out of bed, puts on her purple robe and went out of the room to find out the mysterious noise.
As Violeta was searching for the noise until she bumped into someone.
"Sorry!" A young male voice apologized to Violeta.
Violeta looked up and realized it was Rudolph that bumped into her.
"Rudolph! What are you doing out of your coffin so early in the morning?" Violeta asked him out of curiosity.
"I went to search for Tony. I heard him woke up and storm out of our room." Rudolph explained to Violeta since he was worried about his best friend.
At least Violeta knew what the slamming door came from.
"That's strange. Tony never storms off like that unless their something on his mind." Violeta explained to Rudolph as she began to worry about her cousin.
"Would you mind if I join you in your search for Tony? I'm worried about him as well." Rudolph asked Violeta as he hoped his best friend is alright.
"Of course. Lets continue to walk down the hall of the castle to see if we can find any clues to Tony's whereabouts." Violeta replied to Rudolph as she happily let him join their search to find Tony.
The two of them began to walk and search for Tony.
As they were walking,
Rudolph and Violeta began to have a conversation.
"Have you notice anything strange going on with Tony Rudolph?" Violeta asked him out of care.
"Yes. He would sometimes clench his fist when the five of us are together or when we spotted you with my Brother. He would also have this sad look on his face as well." Rudolph explained to Violeta about Tony's actions he's been showing lately.
"I noticed as well. The side of his mouth would twitch as if he wanted to say something. When I asked him about it privately, he told me it was nothing and shrugged it off." Violeta said to Rudolph as she noticed those things about her cousin as well.
"You really know Tony very well." Rudolph complimented her in awe.
"Yeah. We've been together since he was an toddler. Since we didn't have a lot of friends, we would hang out together and have fun. Out of all our cousins, were like brother and sister." Violeta told Rudolph as she smiles at the memories Tony and her made together.
"I feel the same about my family as well. I'm glad Tony has a cousin like you." Rudolph complimented Violeta as a smile approached his face.
"Thanks Rudolph. I'm glad that he has an amazing friend like you." Violeta said to Rudolph with a warm smile on her face.
"I can understand why Gregory fancies you." Rudolph said to Violeta which made her stiffen a bit.
"I don't know what you're talking about Rudolph?" Violeta said to him out of denial.
"Anna's not the only one who can see it. All my life, Never have I saw my brother look so happy before. He would always worry about the clan and us, but never about himself. Since you told us about you two seeing one another in your dreams, it made sense when I saw him smile happily for the first time." Rudolph explained to Violeta as he reminisced on the day that Gregory smiled happily for the first time.
"I know he can be a tense, but he really does care about you the same amount as you care about him." Rudolph continued his speech to Violeta about the connection between his brother and her.
Violeta felt a bit flustered after learning that Gregory felt passionately about her since the day they met in their dreams.
Violeta was about to say something until they heard some piano notes that was faintly played throughout the hallway.
"It's coming from the study." Rudolph said to Violeta as he heard the noise from his strong sense of hearing.
"Lead the way Rudolph!" Violeta said to Rudolph.
With Rudolph leading the way, they followed the piano notes to the open study.
Once they made it to the study,
They spotted a hunched over Tony siting on a bench tapping to piano keys with his finger as she sighed in sadness.
Rudolph and Violeta entered the room and closed the door behind them.
Violeta went up to Tony and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Tony?" Violeta said his name which got him out of his trance.
Tony turned around and spotted Violeta and Rudolph with worried expressions on their faces.
"Oh…Hey guys.." Tony greeted them sadly.
"You had us worried about you." Rudolph said to his friend as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Sorry about that! I was going to head right back." Tony said to them as he scratched the back of his head.
"What's going on Tony? You rarely storm out unless you were troubled by something." Violeta asked her cousin in worry.
Tony sighed in defeat and began to explain.
"Since we came here, I was excited to have fun with you and the others. Until you started hanging out Gregory and Anna a bit more. I don't mind you and Anna hanging out, with Gregory it was different. I wanted to spend some with you, but you're always with Gregory. I'm began to fear that you didn't want to spend time with me anymore like we use to. I guess, I became jealous…." Tony expressed his feelings to Violeta with a sad look in his eyes.
Violeta sat down next to him and began to talk.
"I'm sorry that I made you feel that way Tony. You should tell me about these things instead of letting it bubble inside. Besides, you are like my little brother. I will always spend time with you no matter what! I love you." Violeta said to Tony as she expressed her care for him with her arm around his shoulder.
Tony smiled after her listened to Violeta's speech.
"Remember how we bonded?" Violeta asked Tony with a smile on her face.
"Of course! We were at the piano playing "You've got a friend in me" from toy story as way of promising each other that we'll always be close." Tony replied to Violeta happily.
"How about we play it for old times sake?" Violeta suggested to Tony which left a smile on his face.
"Yeah!" Tony replied to her happily.
The two of them turned around and began to play the song together as Violeta began to sing first.
You've got a friend in me~
Tony smiled and joined in next.
You've got a friend in me!
When the road looks rough ahead!
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed~
You just remember what your old pal said~
Boy, you've got a friend in me~
Yeah, you've got a friend in me!
Rudolph smiled as he watched the two cousins sing and play happily together.
Tony tuned his head and gestured Rudolph to come over and listen.
Rudolph caught Tony's gesture and floated towards the two cousins as he continued to listen to them play.
You've got a friend in me!
You've got a friend in me~
You've got troubles, and I've got 'em too!
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
Violeta nudged Tony playfully and made him laugh a bit.
We stick together and we see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me~
You've got a friend in me!
The two of them played the music break happily and began to sing the bridge.
Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am!
Bigger and stronger too~
Tony playfully rolled his eyes as they continued to play.
Maybe~
But none of them will ever love you the way I do~
It's me and you~
Boy!
Tony looked at Violeta as they continued to sing the song.
And As the years go by~
Violeta looked at Tony and sung the lyric to him.
Our friendship will never die!
You're gonna see, it's our destiny!
Tony leaned his head on Violeta shoulder as they finished the song together.
You've got a friend in me!
You've got a friend in me~
You've got a friend in me~
The two of them played the last chords of the song and laughed together happily.
~End of Flashback~
Speaking of close,
Violeta and Gregory have been spending sometime together as the days were passing by.
He would give her Daffodils from the forest, try to cheer her up from stressful events and would have regular conversations with her.
Despite all of that, this was the moment that gotten the two of them really close.
It was late night in june.
The full moon was out and everything looked beautiful.
Violeta is wearing a black gothic high low lace dress, black fishnet tights, her black knee-high buckle boots with her necklace around her neck and her hair in a long side braid that is laying on the right side of her shoulder.
Thanks to Anna's lessons so far,
Violeta began re-reading the letters that they found in order to figure out who was E. Ihrin and V. Sackville-bagg.
Gregory noticed Violeta was in her room still trying to figure out the names of the two initials from the letters again.
He knew that she was going to overwork herself at this rate if she didn't stop and take a break.
So, Gregory entered the room, floated to Violeta and touched her shoulder which surprised our fellow heroine.
Violeta turns around and sighes in anger and relief.
"Gregory don't scare me like that! I'm still trying to figure out who is E and V!" Violeta explains to him as she massages her temples from the stress she's having.
"I know. That's why I'm here to get you away from the letters and take a break before you over stress yourself." Gregory said to her as he put the letters inside the drawer of her nightstand.
"I have to keep working Gregory! We're so close to figuring out our situation!" Violeta said to Gregory as she tried to reason with him.
"I understand, but you got to let your mind rest sometimes." Gregory said to Violeta as he crossed his crossed his arms in front of his chest.
Violeta sighs knowing that she can't argue with Gregory's reason.
"Fine. I'll take a break from the letters." Violeta said to Gregory in defeat knowing that she needs to relax her mind.
"Wonderful." Gregory said to her with a smile on his face. Gregory grabs Violeta's hand and lead her towards the window Balcony.
"Why you lead me to the balcony Gregory?" Violeta asks Gregory out of curiosity.
Gregory looks at her and smile before he spoke.
"Since it's a full moon outside, I thought it would be nice to have a night flight around the forest." Gregory explains to Violeta which made her a bit pale.
"No. That is not happening! I can't fly!" Violeta said to Gregory out of fright and nerves.
"I know that already. You just have to hold my hand and I'll teach you how the rest." Gregory explains to her again as he find her nervousness adorable and understandable.
"What if I slip out of your hand and fall?!" Violeta questions Gregory as her nervousness was getting the better of her.
"That will never happen, because I'll never let you fall." Gregory said to Violeta as the moon shined down on him.
"Besides, I want you to experience something magical that only happens once." Gregory said to her with a loving smile on his face.
Seeing his facial expression made Violeta's heart pound rapidly as she felt the blood rush to her cheeks.
Gregory puts his hand out to Violeta as he continue to smile at her.
"Do you trust me?" Gregory asks Violeta as his hand was still in her reach.
Violeta looks Gregory in the eyes before she replied to him.
"…I do…" Violeta replies to him and grabbed his hand that is out for her.
Gregory smiles and began to fly in the sky together.
Violeta looks down for a second and held on to Gregory with as her eyes closed in fear.
Gregory smiles softly and put his right hand around her waist as he stops flying and the two of them began to float.
"It's ok Violeta…I won't let you fall." Gregory reassures Violeta in a loving tone of voice.
Violeta slowly opens her eyes and stares at Gregory.
"How do you feel?" Gregory asks her.
Somehow, Violeta felt a bit calm than what she was feeling earlier.
"…A bit better." Violeta replies to him in a calm tone of voice.
"Do you want to keep holding onto me for bit until you comfortable?" Gregory asks her in a caring manner.
"No…I think I'll be fine…" Violeta replies to Gregory's question.
"Alright. Take your time, slowly unwrap your arm around me and think about floating in the air... " Gregory instructs Violeta since it's her first time flying with a vampire.
Violeta nodded and slowly began to unravel her right arm away from his body with her left hand still in his grasp.
Once she was fully out of his grasp with her hand holding his,
Violeta thought about floating like Gregory instructed.
Violeta began to feel a bit more comfortable and looked at the view in front of her.
"Amazing!" Violeta said in awe as she saw the woods and the moon shinning brightly in the night sky.
"Ready to experience a magical adventure my love?" Gregory asks her in a loving manner.
Violeta looked at him and smiles.
"Lead the way." Violeta replies to Gregory happily.
Gregory and Violeta began to fly through the night together.
Violeta was in awe as she began to enjoy flying with Gregory.
Violeta looks at Gregory in a different light than she usually does during their time together.
Gregory spotted the place in the forest that he wanted to show Violeta.
"Close your eyes. I have a surprise I want to show you." Gregory said to Violeta in a loving tone of voice.
Violeta closed her eyes and felt Gregory flew the both of them to their destination.
Once they made it to the location,
Gregory gently began to float Violeta and him down to the ground and released her hand.
"Were here. You can open you're eyes now." Gregory whispered in Violeta's ear.
Violeta opens her eyes and gasped in awe.
The forest was covered in daffodils and fireflies as the moonlight illuminated the area.
Violeta walks forward a bit as she looks at the beautiful area in front of her.
"Gregory….It's beautiful…" Violeta said to him in awe as the fireflies glowed around them.
"I found this place during one of my night flights and it reminded me of you. Beautiful, illuminating and bright like the moon and stars." Gregory said to her in a loving manner.
Violeta turns to face Gregory, wipes the tears forming in her eyes and looks at him in a passionate gaze.
"Nobody never did anything like this for me before.." Violeta said to him in a heart felt tone of voice as her tears began to fall down her cheeks once more.
Gregory walks up to Violeta, wiped away her tears and gaze at her passionately.
"You're a goddess Violeta. A godess like you should be worshiped and loved.." Gregory said to her in a loving manner as he caresses her cheek.
Violeta felt her heart melt from his words. She leans into his touch and began to sing to him.
You're waking meadows in my mind~
Gregory's smiled at her as she continued to sing to him.
Making waves across my time~
Oh no...
Oh no~
Violeta gazed at him lovingly like never before.
I got a strange magic~
Gregory began to join her in perfect harmony.
Oh, what a strange magic~
Oh, it's a strange magic~
I got a strange magic~
Gregory held Violeta's hand and began fly in the sky together as he continued to give her the experience of a lifetime.
He looked at Violeta and began to sing to her as they flew in the starry night sky.
You're sailing softly through the sun~ (You're sailing softly through the sun~)
Of a land I've always known~
You fly…(You fly~)
So high~ (So high~)
Gregory and Violeta began to fly above the shimmery lake that showed the moons reflection.
I get a strange magic~
Oh, what a strange magic~
Oh, it's a strange magic~
I got a strange magic~
Gregory held her in a princess hold as they began to fly threw the daffodil fields together.
Violeta caressed his check as she looked at him lovingly and Gregory looking at her lovingly back.
Oh I'm (Oh I'm~)
Never gonna be the same again~
(Never gonna be the same again~)
Now I've seen the way it's got to end~
(Got to end~)
Sweet dreams (Sweet dreams...)
Sweet dreams~
Violeta felt her hair unravel from the braid and began to fly in the wind.
You got a strange magic~
Oh, what a strange magic~
Oh, it's a strange magic...
I got a strange magic…
I got a strange magic~
Gregory and Violeta felt as if they shared one heart beat with one another during their magical flight.
It's Magic~
Gregory joined in again.
It's Magic~
It's Magi!
Violeta leaned her head against Gregory's chest as they flew together.
I got a strange magic~
Oh, what a strange magic~
Oh, it's a strange magic~
I got a strange magic~
I got a strange magic~
Gregory flew them to the ground again, puts Violeta down and the two of them looked at one another.
It's magic~
(It's Magic!)
It's magic~
(It's magic!)
It's magic!
Gregory picked up a daffodil and placed it in Violeta's hair.
It's magic~
The two of them felt the fireflies surround them once more.
They moved in close, wrapped their arms around one another, leaned in closed their eyes and kissed.
Their kiss was passionate, magical and full of love as the moonlight shined down on them.
They slowly pulled apart from each others lips as gazed passionately at one another.
"We should…probably head back to the castle before daylight comes…" Violeta said to him softly as she smile loving at him.
"Yes…we should…." Gregory agreed with Violeta as he smiled lovingly at her as well.
The two of them flew back to castle before the morning comes.
Once they made it back,
They entered the castle and looked at each other once more.
"Thank you for the flight. I had a wonderful time." Violeta thanks Gregory as her cheeks were colored red.
"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself." Gregory said to Violeta as he tucks a strand of her hair behind her ear.
"See you in dreamland my love..." Gregory said to Violeta lovingly.
Violeta kisses Gregory on his cheek before speaking.
"See you in dreamland…my heart…" Violeta said to him and began to walk to her room leaving Gregory smiling happily.
As she was heading to her room,
Her family and Gregory's family spotted her before she went any further.
"Hi sweetheart. Came back from your walk?" Her mother asks her happily since she haven't seen her daughter since breakfast.
"Yes~" Violeta replies to her mother in a dreamlike daze.
"How was it?" Her father asks her questionably as he notice her state.
"Magical! Absolutely Magical papa~" Violeta replies to her dad in the same state and continue to head to her bedroom as she began to hum the song.
Then, they spotted Gregory floating in a dreamlike state as well.
"How was your night flight my son?" Freda asks her son since Gregory told her about it.
"Beautiful mother~ Very beautiful!" Gregory replies to his mother in the same state as Violeta and continue to head to his room as he began to hum.
Tony, Rudolph and Anna looked at each other knowing that something happened between the two of them.
Meanwhile, the parents were surprised by their children's behavior. Except, the women whom knew something happened as the fathers began to worry.
As for Violeta and Gregory,
The two of them lay in the bed and fell into a nice slumber meeting each other once more with smiles on their faces.
AR: THEIR FIRST ACTUAL KISS! What do you think? Will the parents figure out what is going on? Will the group figure out the initials on the letters?
Until next chapter!
