Chapter 17

•Hello! It's me! Your girl, Galaxyrose19! And everyone, we are at 2k reads! *internally screaming* Let's get to 3k!❤•

°Lachlan's POV°
After setting up the supplies. We realized we needed our technology considering we might be at my house for a few days since were also on fall break for school. So, we all went to our homes and get most of the stuff we needed. When we got back, we got started.
"Okay, first, how did this all started?" I said. There was silence.
"Oh! The red eyes thing. Where Violet had that weird feeling!" Jerome broke the silence.
I was thinking for a moment, I realized, "Oh! I got it! Okay, everyone start looking up any unusual feelings in either the temples and/or the lower left point of a stomach. That's where Violet's pain mostly comes from."
"Do you know what the paine feels like for Violet?" Preston questioned without looking at anyone except his laptop.
"I think for her temples it's like a stinging feeling, and her left side of the stomach it feels like a hole is in her body."
"Alright, thanks dude." We kept searching for about 20-30 minutes when Vik said he found something.

《Violet's POV》
"AH!"

"NO!"

"GAHHH!"

"Please stop..."

"Please..."

"Oh my god!"
I immediately raised my upper body from my sleep and gasped. I look around me while deeply breathing, I find to see I'm still in the same stupid grey box I'm trapped in. I look about 5 feet to my left to see Mitch and Scott cuddling. Awwww that's cute. This is officially messed up. Why? They act like a couple to kill the fandom yet they say they're "just friends". It's just a joke dude. Still though, just saying. Scott's chin was resting on top of Mitch's and it's honestly just too adorable!
"Ow," I felt a little sting on my temple. I then started having a flashback from yesterday.

?FLASHBACK THINGY¿
"I know... but I'm gonna have to be someone I didn't expect myself to be..." I replied.
"What is it?" Hazel asked.
"A risk-taker." I ran up to the door and yelled through the cracks.
"Wait... w- what is she doing?" Mitch was worried.
"HEY!" I slammed my fist on the wall.
"Violet, stop! What are you doing?!" Scott
"I'll tell you what you want, just one condition!" I screamed, "you wanna hear this deal or not?!"
I could hear running. I backed up and the door swung open. Two guards took hold off me.
"NO VIOLET STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Mitch yelled. A man came in, he didn't show his face. He was wearing a suit and had a cane. It didn't look like a normal cane though... weird.
"You'll tell me what I want?" He had a deep voice.
"On one condition," I agreed.
"Go ahead," He gestured.
"Let my family free and let my best friend free, her name is Hazel Harmony. Let them be free and you never see them in your life again," I reasoned, "let them go and I'll give the stuff you need."
"Hmmm sounds promising," the man said, "but..."
"But?" I questioned.
"But, no." He smiled in an evil way and walked away.
"GODS SAKE!" The guards let go of me and I plopped down to the floor. I laid there like a sack of potatoes (which I am).
"I wouldn't have let you done that anyways," Scott argued.
"I would've gotten my way anyways," I talked back.
"And look where that got you," Mitch stated.
"Shut up," I playfully slapped his arm.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
I then came back to reality to find Mitch and Scott awake. While we were still try to wake ourselves up, I heard the creak of the door opened.
"We need Violet, Dr. Torchwick wants to see her," one of the guards said. They grabbed me and I heard Mitch yelling and crying as I was pulled away from the room. I turned my head to see Scott holding him back. The door closed and they let me go, as they let me freely walk on my own.
"Follow me," and they took me to "Torchwick's" room. They opened the door and I entered. I saw a boy sitting next to him, his outfit made him look like a hipster type of person.
"Ah Violet. So glad to see you again," Dr. Torchwick greeted. Again? What does he mean...
"We've been looking for you awhile actually," He told me, "yes, you and your best friend were the last two we were missing all these years." This is super creepy.
"Now, I believe I haven't introduced myself. I'm Dr. Torchwick, and I'm just going to ask you a few questions," I nodded me head.
"Now Violet," he looked up at me, "do you remember how your parents died?"
I responded, "Why, yes. There was a intruder and he shot my father downstairs, while my mother and I were in my room and she was telling me to run away."
"Are you sure about that?" He asked. Uhm... I saw it happened. Except when my mom and dad actually got shot, but I heard the gun fire.
"I'm pretty sure, I saw it happened," I replied.
"Did you?"
"Well, my mom made me run away as fast as I can. B- but I heard gunshots." I responded.
"Well, Violet. I suppose you already know about your fire powers," Dr. Torchwick stated. Well, considering Mitch and Scott said that my birthmark represents my powers. Then, yea. I pretty much know.
"Yes, I have fire, o- or flammable powers," I answered, "they're the same, but yea."
"Once you ran away, you never looked back at your home. But what you didn't know is that your house," he paused, "it had caught on fire and it all burned down." No... I didn't...
"Do you see what I'm trying to tell you Violet?" Sadly, I think so. No... there is absolutely no way!
"No," I demanded, "no way I killed my mother and father." Dr. Torchwick widened his eyes a little and smirked, then he opened his desk drawer and pulled out a newspaper. The cover story/title page said, "Mother, father, and intruder all suffered and died in a burning home". I read the story: Josh and Freya Melody were trapped in their own home from an unknown fire source. Autopsy says the fire source got caught on the curtains in their daughter's bedroom, Violet Melody. They do not know where the fire exactly came from and how it was caught on the drapes. But their daughter is also missing. Police believes she has ran away, considering the burned evidence inside the home.
"No! This can't be true!" I yelled.
"AHHHH!" I felt my head burning through my mind and a little light-headed. I tried to make it stop, but it was too powerful.
"Simon, enough!" Dr. Torchwick demanded to "Simon". That kid basically looks like Torchwick's guard/pain helper. The other person with powers disagrees with what Torchwick says, you start becoming weak and you can't prevent his power.
"But it is true," He plainly said. I started having a flashback through my head.
*FLASHBACK THINGY*
I grabbed all my stuff, then I took a picture of my mom and dad and held it in my left hand. Then I pounded the wall with my right fist in rage and accidentally got my hand caught in my curtains. I felt heat rising inside of me. I then started crying then left with my tears running down my face, and my feet going faster than they have never been before.
I came back to reality, I gasped and was breathing heavily.
"So Violet, you choose. You can join us and make the world's future better," He explained.
"What exactly would you have me do?" I questioned.
"I would have you show me demonstrations of loyalty," Torchwick reasoned.
"Like what?" I had a little sass.
"You'll see," he paused, "if you join us."
"And if I don't?" I questioned.
"Then you're going to regret you said no," He deeply said.
"You have 48 hours to choose," he finalized a time limit, "choose wisely."
They guards held tight of me and sent me back to the cell. I was thrown in like garbage and landed with side to the ground first. Scott and Mitch were running towards me.
"Violet! Are you okay? What happened?" I picked myself back up and went to the vent between me and Hazel.
"H- he said, in 48 hours I have to choose between joining him or not. And that I killed my mom and dad and that I didn't even know about it till know. And just- oh my god!" I was stressed out. I've talked faster than I never had before.
"Woah, henny slow down. Just, tell us the joining part," Mitch calmed me down.
"I have a choice to join him or not. He would have me do 'demostrations of loyalty' as he called it." I explained.
"Don't do it!" I heard the echo of Hazel's voice, "those 'demonstrations' are just ways to hurt innocent people. He got concert tickets for another girl named Rachel and it was her favorite singer too. Torchwick made her shock her favorite singer on stage while singing a song. SHOCK HER VIOLET. I've seen what he's done, don't do it."
Wow, those "demonstrations of loyalty" ARE REALLY hurting innocent people. I've made my decision. Who needs 48 hours? It took me five minutes.
