Sparks | Rafe Cameron

11.

———

After dropping Kiara, JJ, and pope back at home they headed for the Cameron's home. Violet checked the time which read 7:50. "Are we almost there?" Violet asked stressing out about timing.

"Yeah, pulling in now." John b parks the Twinkie in the Cameron's drive as the trio hop out of the car, making their way to the door. Sarah opened up the door first, heading inside as rafe met them at the door.

Rafe looked at Violet, John b, and Sarah his eyebrows raised when he spotted the mud all over John b. "Where have you been?" He addresses Violet as John b and Sarah sneak around him to go get cleaned up.

"We went out on the marsh." Violet lies "I'm sorry I know this is important-"

"You smell like gun powder violet." Rafe cuts her off, folding his arms across his chest "where have you been?" He asks again, not believing her.

Violet looks to the floor before looking up at Rafe, she couldn't think of anything to explain the gun powder "it's probably the marsh you can smell.. John b fell in and ive been stuck next to him for a while." She lies again

Rafe shakes his head, not believing a word she was saying "whatever, come get cleaned up." He states annoyed, taking her hand guiding her up to his room. "You can take a quick shower in here, I'll grab some of Sarah's clothes for you."

Violet nods "thank you.." she entered his bathroom awkwardly as she stripped down, taking a quick shower. Hopping out of the shower she wraps a towel around herself, walking out to rafes room to see the pile of clothes rafe had left there. Quickly getting changed before making her way downstairs to meet for dinner, she felt awkward and uncomfortable now that rafe wasn't talking to her. She prayed Sarah and John B would be there for dinner not leaving her alone with rafe and Ward.

"Violet" ward's voice catches her attention as he's sat at the head of the table, rose and wheezie at either side while rafe was beside wheezie. "Come and join us. Sarah and John B should be down soon."

Nodding, Violet walks over quietly taking a seat by rafe. "Thank you for having me.." she spoke awkwardly. She hated that she had to be polite to the man that attacked her brother the night before.

"Rafe was explaining you guys were out on the marsh." Ward kept his eyes on Violet, studying her "in the dark?"

Violet opens her mouth to reply being saved by Sarah and John B entering the dining room. "Sorry we are late." Sarah takes a seat across the table from rafe, John B sitting next to her.

"So the marsh in the dark. Do you guys do that often?" Ward asked again, not letting it go.

Violet looked at John B signalling for him to help her "yeah.." Violet eventually answered, looking back at Ward "it's uh.. weirdly peaceful.." she lies as John b nods in agreement

Ward tilts his head slightly, furrowing his eyebrows slightly "you're not treasure hunting like your old man now are you John B?"

Violets breath hitches slightly at the mention of treasure, catching rafes attention on accident.

"No sir." John B lies "simply just hanging out on the marsh with some friends."

Ward nods slightly, looking to violet "have you heard anything of this treasure?"

Violet shakes her head "No sir.." Violet lies once again, looking over to John B
