Violet

.°•Chapter 8.°•

"Violet if I open my eyes and your in my face again I will punch."

I shuffle back a good distance and Ashton sighs, if there's one thing I've learned these past 2 weeks is he's not lying. Ashton has fast reflexes and high anxiety. He's punched me a good amount of times already, on accident never on purpose.

"How are the wounds?"

"They don't hurt so that's good."

"Neosporin?"

"No Violet."

"Fine."

It has been over 2 weeks since me and Ashton met and I've enjoyed every second of our time together. He is definitely a weird human, very anxious I found. I don't really care, his mumbles are fun to listen to, I wonder if all humans do this? I must admit it's adorable.

"Hey we've got another leak."

"Ugh"

I walk into the living room to see Ashton staring at the roof. You know the usual.

*crash*

"What the-"

Ashton jumps back, terrified as usual, as I stare in the direction.

"What was that?"

"I don't know but let's not go near it." Ashton's shaky voice comes from behind me.

"I'm gonna go see what it is."

"Wait violet no!"

I walk towards were the crash came from, Ashton sighs and follows close behind.

"If we die it's your fault."

"We aren't going to die."

*skitter skitter*

"Woah, Ashton did you hear that?"

"There's something in the house!" I turn back to talk to Ashton only to see him huddled closer to me.

"What's so bad about that?"

"It could be a criminal!"

"A what?"

*crash*

"There it is!"

I run forward to the kitchen.

"Ahhhhhh"

"Violet!"

Ashton runs forward, a surge of courage coursing through him.

"Violet are you o- What is that!?"

"It's so fluffy!"

"Oh my god that's a raccoon!"

*hiss*

"No, it's a Widget."

"A wha?"

"His name is Widget."

"You named him?"

"Yes, he is my friend now."

Widget bites Violets arm, Ashton continues to stare in fear and confusion.

"Look he likes me."

Violet gets up holding the raccoon close to her and walks past a terrified Ashton.

"Are you hungry Widget?"

"Violet that thing is fat enough."

"Ashton don't be greedy."

"Violet raccoons are 'scavengers' he will eat everything if you let him."

"Widget would never."

"How do you know you just met him!"

"Look this face, does he look like he would eat all the food."

Violet brings Widget up to Ashton's face. A hiss resounds around the three, Widget stares at Ashton with eyes filled with anger and hatred. Behind him Violet stares with eyes sparkling with happiness. He couldn't take this away from her.

*sigh* "Maybe not... he's kinda cute."

*hiss*

"Ahh"

"He likes you!"

"Yeah I can see it in his....."

*grrrrr*

"Heart, deep deep down."
