Tomorrow… Violet thinks, shaking her head furiously. Tomorrow. The word repeats in her head several times. It’s Thursday, and tomorrow is the day they are supposed to meet up with the stones.
Tomorrow… Violet thinks again. She bites her lip. She’s walking on the sidewalk by the park, with Greyson at her side. Greyson convinced Violet to let him help her study for the Spelling Bee coming up in a couple of months, but all Violet is able to think about is her mission.
“Okay, now spell rambunctious,” Greyson says holding a stack of index cards.
Violet doesn’t answer. She has her hands folded into one another and keeps her eyes on her dark purple shoes. Her long baggy blue jeans fold over her shoes and her dark purple shirt is tucked halfway into her jeans.
“Are you okay?” Greyson asks.
Violet still doesn’t answer.
I can’t believe its tomorrow…what if we fail? What if we die? What if the evil girls get there before us, because even they don’t have the four main stones, I’m positive that they’ll try and use the multi stone. Violet shakes her head again completely unaware that Greyson is watching her. She bites her lip harder and starts to taste iron.
Its tomorrow… she thinks again and shuts her eyes tightly.
She feels Greyson put his hands on her shoulders, but it’s a faint touch.
Violet begins to shiver and lowers her arms. She opens her eyes and looks at him.
Greyson looks dead into her eyes and sternly asks, “What’s wrong? Are you okay?”
Violet shakes her head again. She looks towards the ground and closes her eyes and smacks his arms away. “It’s nothing,” she whispers.
“Are you sure? Every inch of your body is shaking, don’t lie to me.”
“Yes, I said it’s nothing!” Violet screams this time and places her hands on her head, and then lowers them again. She looks at Greyson who takes a step back, a shocked look on his face.
“Okay,” he says and places his hands in his pockets.
The two continue to walk, but don’t speak. Violet keeps shooting Greyson glances, and he keeps looking ahead.
I’m so worried… Violet thinks and shakes her head again. I’m going to be the one responsible for taking us to the moon, but how do I get there? Would it come naturally or…or…or what will happen is I end up getting lost? What if I take us to Mars instead? How will we breathe? I don’t remember Katelyn touching basis on that. Will we be able to breathe on our own because of our powers? Or would we have oxygen masks to help us? If so, what if one of them breaks and then we…and then one of us…die? Oh god I hate myself how can I let myself think this? Now one of us is going to die I’m sure of it down. I totally and completely jinxed it, I’m sure of it.
“Violet,” Greyson whispers but she ignores it.
Violet tries to keep her mind blank and shut herself up.
Violet stares ahead of her, making her mind go blank so she can’t think anymore.
She lets her hands fall loosely to her side and without realizing it, she moves closer to Greyson. He is about a half foot taller than her, and as her body moves to the side, her forehead bumps against the side of his jaw. He is wearing a long sleeved white shirt, and long black pants.
