The Violetverse series centers on teenage Violet Benton as she makes her surprised return to Somerville High School. The Benton Gang, of course, is thrilled to see her return again. But her surprising return causes a little strain in the relationshi...
That same evening at Fleury Monne Speakeasy Lounge, Tasha Benton, had arrived with the two paramedics, which has put my "dead body" on the gurney.
The Benton Gang are sitting at a round lounge table, glumly. Aaron has a little blood on his hand.
"Guys?" Maggie said, slowly walking up to them. "Are you guys gonna be okay?" She asked.
"Not really no." Aaron replied.
Tasha and Maggie exchange worried looks at each other.
"I'll take it from here Tasha." Maggie said to her.
"Okay. Sure." Mrs. Tasha Benton replied, and slowly walks away.
The two paramedics escorted my "dead body" on the gurney and walks away.
The Benton Gang and Maggie exchange looks at each other.
Violet (VO) And my scheme ploy begins.
*~*~*
At Somerville High School, a shrine has been made at a locker with a picture of me on it.
The Benton Gang looks at it, gloomy. Scarlett Sweeney slowly walks up to them.
"Staring at the shrine isn't gonna make it any better." Scarlett said, and looks at Jonny and decides to tease him a bit. "But at least, Jonny can stop having his lovey-dovey thoughts about Violet."
"You're a crazy psychotic bitch." Sonya tells Scarlett, annoyed.
"Yeah. She is." Ricky said, causing the Benton Gang and Scarlett to look at him. "Hey, guys. You miss me?"
"Not really no." Eric replied.
Cherry starts to sob, walking away. Spencer walks after her and hugs her, comfortably. She hugs him back, sobbing softly to herself.
Ricky Henson looks at Jonny and smirks. "Violet's dead, Jonny. But at least, you have your boring wrench girlfriend, Monica, to keep you some company in your bed."
Jonny lunges at Ricky, pins him against a locker across from the other lockers. "You shut your mouth about my best friend, Violet."
"Or what? You want her now, but too baddie, she's dead." Ricky said with a cheeky grin.
"Jonny?" Aaron said, walking up to his best friend. "Violet wouldn't want this for you."
Jonny and Aaron exchange glumly looks at each other and Jonny lets Ricky go, and Jonny walks away.

SPECIAL AGENT OPS FIELD OFFICE
After Boni has gotten another DVD from the DVD Miser, Boni, Maggie and I are looking at the DVD on a small TV.
The Neon LED Maskers aren't partying this time. This time, their are two Neon LED Maskers, one is a Fox and one is a Bull.
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
The Neon LED Fox Masker is choking the Neon LED Bull Masker with a shoelace, hysterically chuckling.
Suddenly, the Neon LED Fox Masker gently drops the Neon LED Bull Masker on the floor.
The Neon LED Fox Masker looks at the videocamera, which statics and turns off.
"Gosh." Boni said. "Who is this DVD Miser?" He asked.
"Don't know. But Violet and I will figure it out." Maggie replied.
"Okay, and Violet. Just stay low, okay?" Boni said to me.
"I know, I'm supposed to be dead." I said to my older sister.
"Okay." Boni said.
Boni walks away; Maggie and I exchange looks at each other.
"Meredith and I will take care of Eleanor Reese. Can you take care of the DVD Miser?" Maggie asked me.
"Yeah. Sure." I reassured her. "But so, I have to finish this before senior prom." I added with a small smile.
Maggie and I exchange small smiles at each other.

BENTON HOME
That evening, I'm in my bedroom, sitting on my windowsill cushion, drawing in my sketchbook.
My phone buzzes on my nightstand drawer. I look at it, picks it up and looks at it.
Scarlett Sweeney
My phone buzzes and buzzes. And it hangs up.
Violet (VO) Seems as though, Scarlett Sweeney isn't quite convinced.
But my phone chimes a voicemail from Scarlett Sweeney. I press 'Play' button.
Scarlett Sweeney (voicemail) "You're clever, aren't you, Violet? Pretending to be dead. I don't know how you pulled it off, but you did. Say I'm impressed. And your best friends even made a shrine locker for you at Somerville High. But when you've returned from your fake death scheme ploy, I'll be awaiting for you."
After Scarlett's voicemail ceased, somehow, I wasn't worried.
My phone buzzes again on my nightstand. I picks it up and looks at it.
Aaron
I answer my phone. "Hey, Aary."
"The guys and I are keeping up with your scheme. And I think Scarlett is quite convinced." Aaron tells me on my phone.
"Okay, that's good. I don't know how long I'm gonna be fake dead, but it's gonna be until senior prom." I said to him. "But for right now, I'm gonna be figuring out the DVD Miser."
"Okay. I love you, Vinnie." Aaron said to me.
"I love you too, Aary." I said.
Aaron hangs up his phone. And I gently sets my phone on the windowsill cushion beside me.
