A Blessing Or A Curse

Violet POV:

I know what you're thinking....

And, yes, I am absolutely screwed! We can roll the credits now, cause it's over!

"Midas wants a word with you, Violet. Personally." Kaito had said, his words still haunting me as I gaped in fear.

Yeah. That's right. I remember his words as if he only said them thirty seconds ago.

Maybe that's cause he did say them thirty seconds ago, and I'm still on the line with him as we speak.

My jaw had dropped to the floor with speechlessness, my eyes blank and my face pale with stress as I stared dazedly out into space.

Honestly, I was hoping I imagined the conversation. Or, even better, I was hoping that Kaito would take my silence as a 'wrong number' hint and hang up!

But, unfortunately, he's decided to be patient today and give me time to process and answer. How kind!

My mouth opened and closed like a fish as I tried to process, my brain turning to mush and going blank as I wracked my brain for an answer.

"....oh. Uhhh. N..Now...?" I murmured unsurely, already knowing damn well what the answer was.

"Now." Kaito followed up lowly, clearly already starting to lose his patience.

Hello, anxiety, my old friend.

A surge of fear washed over me as the situation hit me like a truck, causing the nerves to come out in the form of word vomit as I paced the outdoor balcony.

"I-I...well, it's just...I kind of have...like, an...event-" I lied horribly, willingly trailing off when Kaito interrupted.

"If you're not here within the hour, I'll kill you. How's that?" He threatened casually, causing a cold sweat to start forming on the back of my neck.

I puffed out my cheeks in defeat, running a hand through my tangled hair as I spoke.

"Hoooo-You know what? I can probably push that event back a few hours...." I corrected quickly, twirling the hem of my oversized shirt between my fingers as I absentmindedly looked down at the city below. "So....Dabi and I will see you within the hour then-"

"No. Not the other kid. Just you. Alone." Kaito pressured ruthlessly, causing my eyes to squeeze shut at the steady rate of decline this conversation was taking.

Well, that's unsettling.

Why just me??? I'm not the problematic one!

"...define....'alone'-" I tried to clarify, before Kaito interrupted once more.

"Alone. With no one following you. If not, you'll regret it. Clear enough?" He asked impatiently, causing my mouth to run dry as I tried to take this conversation in a different direction.

But, I didn't even get the chance to, as Kaito abruptly cut the line before I could say anything else, indirectly sealing my fate and forcing me to go.

After all, who knows what's gonna happen if I don't show up...

I kept the phone to my ear for a few delayed seconds, feeling anxiety immediately replacing the state of happy afterglow I'd just been in with Dabi.

Midas wants to talk to me. Personally. About Euphoria 'whereabouts.'

But, who's gonna tell him her ashes are scattered all over Italy?!
