chapter nineteen. desperate to escape

A laugh slips out of Violet's lips as she picks up a top from the ground, not caring if it is hers or Beatrix's as she pulls it over her girlfriend's head. "You look so pretty in my clothes," she leans forward, placing a kiss on her lips. "You are the only person I'd wear colorful tops for, be grateful that I fucking adore you enough for this," Beatrix's eyes move up to look into Violet's.

"I am, I'm truly grateful to see you in pretty pink tops and even without them," Violet's hand slips up Beatrix's shirt or her shirt before there's a knock on the door and both girls burst into fits of laughter.

"I'm coming!" Violet calls, grabbing Beatrix's black lace top and pulling it over her head. "You already did," Beatrix smiles, and Violet laughs, opening her bedroom door, and revealing Flora who's holding up a pot plant.

"Oh sorry, are you busy? Riven told me you wanted to see me and told me you like plants," she smiles holding out the plant for Violet who takes it as she turns to Beatrix. "Oh, it's totally fine. You guys can go, I'm tired anyway," Beatrix wraps one of Violet's green fur blankets around her body. Violet takes the plant from Flora, puts it on her bedside table, and kisses Beatrix's cheek.

"Bye love," she kisses her head before heading out of the room and shutting the door behind her. "I feel like you didn't know I was coming over," Flora smiles turning to the other girl who stops at the end of the hall. "I just forgot, I tend to do that a lot like now since I've forgotten my jacket, I tend to get cold fast," Violet points back to her room as the girls start heading back.

When Violet opens her bedroom door she finds her jacket on Riven's bed and Beatrix rummaging through Sky's closet. She stops when she hears Violet's footsteps. "What are you doing?" her voice comes out soft and smooth. Beatrix lets out a small laugh as she gets up, turning to Violet who's pulling on her jacket. "I have to go. I'll see you later," Flora says loudly before walking away.

"Rosalind needs answers, so it's either you or Sky," she shrugs, a small smile playing on her lips. "I didn't know you were gonna frame my best mate today," Violet licks her lower lip and Beatrix shuts Sky's closet with her foot. "I want to protect you," Beatrix reaches a hand out, and Violet takes it, slowly nodding. "Just don't hurt my friends," she scoffs and Beatrix pulls away.

"You're right, I'm sorry. Just go out with your friend and have fun. I'm gonna clean up your side of the room," Beatrix smiles, and Violet shakes her head. "It's fine, I'd rather spend time with you," Violet pulls Beatrix closer, resting her head against Beatrix's shoulder, and closing her eyes for a second. "Only if you want to stay," Beatrix's arm wraps around Violet before a crack sounds through the room and both girls pull away, turning to see where t came from, their eyes falling onto the small vial with the lightning bolt has a small crack in it, as if the lighting is desperate to escape from its prison.
