Fourth Wing

Chapter 3

Violet

"VI, please this is your last chance to step out. Please listen to me, you're not trained for this! For my sake Please!." Dain shouts.

"If you look down at me and talk back to me another time Aetos. Im warning you. I'll make sure my bonded dragon turns you into a human fireball."

i turn towards rhiannon saying that."I see your a firece one" she says with a smile. "I just can't handle people looking down on me just because i wasn't trained to be a rider and am not the famous child of my mother." i say.

My eyes scan around the place trying to understand everyone's situation right now and i see him. Yes, him.

The most breathe taking man i've ever seen. Night black hair, with striking emerald eyes,Even the diagonal scar that bisects his left eyebrow and marks the top corner of his cheek only makes him hotter.

He's tall, with dark brows. The line of his jaw is strong and covered by warm tawny skin and dark stubble, and when he folds his arms across his torso, the muscles in his chest and arms ripple,

moving in a way that makes me swallow. His features are so harsh that they look carved, and yet they're astonishingly perfect, like an artist worked a lifetime sculpting him, and at least a year of that was spent on his mouth.

And then he looks at me. It feels like my heart skipped a beat. Something about him is strangely familiar. Where did i see him?

" best friends forever vi?" xaden said. "Yep best friends forever." i promised. Little did i know in that same exact day my own mother would take the life of my best Friend's mum the same exact day.

And later his dad took the life of my own brother. We were separated by our parents and after that i never saw him ever again.

his coming this way. what do i do?! "Long time no see βία." xaden says. βία, He used to call me that when we were little. It means 'violence' in greek. "Hi, xaden h-how are you" i stutter.

"Apart from the fact ur mum killed my mum and then my dad dies and i basically become an orphan living the most miserable life for being a betrayers son, I'm doing quite well what about you?" xaden asks me with sarcasm in his tone.

"Look, im sorry for what my mum did xaden. Its not like i have a hand at this. And your dad killed our brother as well" I say.

He raises an eyebrow and says, "sorry wont fix what your mum made me go through." he says with a sharp tone.

"I think it's better if you stay away from me βία." xaden warns me, narrowing his eyes. "Why, thinking of killing me as your revenge?" i ask.

"You never know." he says to me. And then i see the Most gigantic creature i've ever seen in my entire life. Its a dragon!

a fierce navy-blue daggertail, the rarest of the blues, with knifelike spikes at the tip of her tail that can disembowel an enemy with one flick. Its xaden's dragon.

He mounts up on his dragon so smoothly like its a piece of cake for him and then the dragon flys away

Dain comes up beside me, " i'd advice you to stay away from him violet.

He definitely does not have the best intention for you." he warns. " i think he made that clear to me" i say.

"Well well well are you the infamous daughter of general sorrengail?" i turn to see who said that,

thick blond brows matching to his blond hair, glacial, or arctic, blue eyes, he looks like the villain charecter of any movie in fact. "Hello jack." Dain says from beside me.

So his name is jack. "Your my next target" jack says with a smirk and leaves. That was was quite a brief and weird introduction between us but i wont sweat about what he said much.

"He just meant that he'll kill you at the parapet" Dain translates his words.

I guessed that anyway because everyone shows their greed and true colours at the parapet.

There's no rule to kill anyone here unless one is asleep at night.

"Well cya at the finish line violet." Dain says that and another dragon lands beside us.

Its a Red Swordtail. Dain mounts up on his dragon and flys away too.

We are close to the parapet and all of a sudden it starts raining. "Real luck i have." i look at my boots and at rhiannon's boots.

She'll slip and fall anytime. I run upto rhiannon. "Look you have to change boots with me." i say with a panick.

"Huh, why?" she asks. "With those boots you'll fall its too big here take my left boot and you give me your left boot. Please trust me on this one." i blurt.

She seems hesitant but gives me her boot anyway. And i wear it. The person infront of me steps on the parapet and starts walking so Its my turn now to go on the parapet. "Here goes nothing.."

Im walking slowly across it. Aware of my surroundings. The parapet is like an uneven rock bridge and with the rain, It's making it harder to cross.

I keep walking with keen awareness. And i hear the sound of someone screaming behind me. "Take that." a familiar voice says behind me. Its jack, and just pushes someone of the Parapet.

"your next SORRENGAIL." jack screams from behind me. Shit. i pick my pace and almost slip once.

His picking his pace too, meaning his close up behind me. I have to get there fast. at this point i just start running, almost falling at some point but i run with my life on the line.

And i can see im close to the end. Yes, I can do it..I can- and he pushes me. Jack just pushed me! I slip and hold onto one of the rocks. My hands slipping, i can barely keep myself up. The rain is making it slippery for me.

"See ya in the after life sorrengail." jack leaves with a grin. "HELP." i scream. This is it. My death is here.

Just when i thought im about to fall, This black shadows appear from nowhere and it just picks me up slowly, holding me gently and puts me on the parapet and then dissolves slowly. "What?!" im so confused right now.

But i start running again And when im close to the end i make a final jump and I make it! I made it across the parapet! i look back and see rhiannon stumbling and slowly walking. She's almost here.

"you can do it rhiannon!" i shout. She makes a final run for the end, also making across the parapet. "Way to go rhiannon!" I say with excitement.

"I owe you my life violet. " rhiannon looks at me with pride in her eyes. Maybe bliss is in my fate after all. Who knows?
