This Isn't Our Home~

{Chapter Thirty-One}

Violet's POV  (Play song right away)

I found myself back home in bed, which confused me greatly. "Layla?" I called out, but to my dismay no one responded.

I got out of bed and walked across the hall to my parent's room, opening the door to find no one. Which just worried me more. I quickly spun back around to my brother's room, swinging it open to find it empty as well.

I carefully walked to the bathroom to check for any signs of life, but I found nothing.

I made my way around the house frantically, the lounge room, the dining room and kitchen, mum's small salon that used to be my brother and I's playroom. But still nothing.

"Mum! Dad!" I called out as I opened the back door to the balcony, but I stood frozen still as my eyes saw what should be my backyard and the town I lived in, was almost like a black void.

No presence of any form of human, or any kind of life for that matter, could be found.

I felt hot tears well up in my eyes and I ran back inside, through the living room and to the front door, only to see the same thing. It was like one of the bad dreams I had when I was little, it was about a large hole that started in my house and only got bigger so I had to escape from it.

But this didn't feel like a dream, I mean everywhere was hurting, so it couldn't possibly be a dream.

"My, it seems we meet again sooner than I thought." I spun around to see the man I saw during the big fight in Hosu once more. Julius was it?

He saw my tears and walked up to me worriedly, "Dear, what happened?"

I sniffed and turned away, "No one is here, not even my mum or dad are here, Not even Layla..." I muttered and rubbed my eyes, I felt pathetic and useless, I couldn't even speak confidently in a situation like this.

"Well my little star, you have absolutely nothing to worry about!" I look at him confused when suddenly the world around me shifts and I'm suddenly in what appears to be a study or office of sorts. "Because whenever you're feeling down or if you're ever in your current situation, I'm always here to talk and give you some sort of company."

I felt happy at his words and shuffled so I was comfortable in the plush seat across from the tall blond man.

"Why don't you tell me more about yourself? I feel that, while we're here, we may aswell talk a little." His warm smile was comforting and reminded me of my father in a way.

"Oh, well... What would you like to know? I'm open to most questions!" I say, causing Julius to chuckle.

"Well that's pleasant to hear. I feel like the only reasonable question to ask first is, what's your name?" I smiled and told him.

"Violet." He looked at me curiously and cocked his head to the side, "Just Violet, no last name?" I stiffened at his question. I honestly didn't trust anyone with that information, and I knew Layla didn't either, speaking of, was Layla ok?

"Sorry, I can see your distress. I shouldn't pry to deeply in things that make you uncomfortable..." I smile at his kind and understanding demeanour, "Do you have any magic?" I saw his eyes start to twinkle with stars and I giggled.

"I actually have light magic!" The sparkles in his eyes faded slightly and he looked at me with a smile but it also seemed like a shocked expression aswell. "Is having light magic bad?" I ask scared, but Julius suddenly stands up from his seat, towering over me.

"Do you know how to use your magic well?" I shook my head at his question and he smiled before he walked around the desk and held out a hand for me.

"Well we better get you all trained up so you can defend yourself!" I took a hold of his hand and then, suddenly everything suddenly clicked.
