Violet Foras

chapter 1

It was the year 1673, I was born in the town of London. I grew up knowing to never trust others and learned not to rely on others. I don't know much of my parents, except for the fact that they gave me up to an orphanage that was located in the edge of town. It was a very poor orphanage, we didn't have play grounds and distractions like the children now in the present. All the women and very little of men worked around the orphanage, would walk us around town. Some children would be adopted during the walk. when I was around the age of 11 there was this new girl named Jessie, she arrived in the orphanage a week or two after my birthday. We became friends almost instantly, she didn't know about my abilities or the fact that they are demonic.

----------

I didn't get my powers until I was 8, when 4 different girls were beating me up because they saw that I was different. I finally stood up for myself and cursed a girl with an never ending cycle of nightmares (she hung herself in her room.) The second girl, i made her become a prisoner within her own nightmares (she became insane and taken away from the orphanage.)

I don't know what happend to the third girl, i suppose she snuck away. Then there was the fourth girl, she didn't do anything to me, she just stood there staring at me while they beated me, I left her alone. I ran out of the restroom and hid for a few days in my room with the door locked, I kept trying to figure out why I was being treated like this and why must i be such a coward.

---------------

After we came back to the orphanage from our daily walk Jessie and I went back to the rooms -after we were dismissed by Miss Ade-(she was in charge of keeping the children in check.) Jessie was afraid of the dark when it was time for bed. Miss. Ade would walk up and down the large hallway with a single lantern. When she left and the children were sleeping, Jessie would quietly walk to my bed. She would snuggle close to me with her handmade stuffed bear. After we got to know each other it turns out she was a year younger than me and she even mentioned how her parents died in a fire. She lived with her auntie but she gave her up because she couldn't feed her plus her four cousins.

After a few months of Jessie being in the orphanage she witnessed me trying to figure out my abilities. I heard the floor creaking under her feet as she approached me from behind. She startled me enough to where a burst of energy was released from my hands, before the energy hit her, a black mist blocked my attack from her. I could see a sudden darkness surrounding my vision to where I couldn't see my hand in front of me, I felt the cold wooden floor press against my body.

"Violet..." I could hear Jessie's soft sweet voice call out to me. I felt my eyes open slightly but she was nowhere to be seen, I was surrounded by a black void that seemed endless. I stood up and looked around, I saw a red aura surround a crystal that's on my right and a blue aura surrounding another crystal. I felt warm, happy and invited towards the red crystal, but the blue one made me feel heavy, sad and alone. I walked to the red one and stretched my hand out to touch it, it started to shine even brighter, it was gone when the light faded out. After a few seconds of confusion I had a sharp pain in my hands and my head, I saw the red light grow bright in my palms. Another bright light shines, i could hear Jessie.

--------------------

"Violet wake up... please..." Cried jessie, I wanted to move my hand to hers but my body felt heavy and hot. I groaned softly from the pain in my head and hands, "Violet!" I felt Jessie standing up next to the bed I was resting on. "Miss Ade, she is awake!" yelled Jessie as she squeezed my hand.

"The priest is on his way. I feel a bad presences in this room." Miss Ade said as she stepped out again.

"What no, no priest!" I screamed in my head. My eyes widen in fear, Jessie looked over at me and noticed my reaction.

"What's wrong?" Jessie asked as she sat next to me. "Do you not want a priest?" she looked at me concerned.

"Does she not remember what just happened?" I thought as i sat up slightly. "That doesn't matter, how long was I out?" I asked her as a sharp pain in my head felt even worse as I sat up.

She placed her hand on my head. "You were out for a week we thought you died from sickness, you were so pale." She removes her hand.

"Wha-" I was cut off by Miss Ade

"You should be resting little one, the priest is out front so lay down."

"Why do I need a priest? I'm fine look." I moved to one side and stood up next to the bed, before I could speak I felt extremely dizzy and sat back down.

"Mhm, sure you do." she said as she walked over to me and helped me back onto the bed. "Jessie we need you to leave, I'm bringing the priest in here now so run along." Miss. Ade left the room with her and closed the door behind them. I quickly stood up and pushed myself to a nearby window and opened it to climbed out, there was a tall tree next to the window. I climbed onto it and closed the window and jumped down. "She is in here-" I could hear Miss Ade. I ran to a bush and hid until I was certain I could leave, but to where? I don't have a home or a place to go. After hiding for what felt like hours I ran when the sun went down.

Time has passed, maybe a year or so, I lived in an alley way in the next town over from where i was. I have noticed that i had grown maybe a few inches or so. I was now fourteen years of age, My brown long hair reached to the middle of my back, it had to be cut. So I used a broken bottle to cut it to my ears, my hazel eyes looked dead as I glanced into the broken glass. My dress was torn, my shoes where worn out and my lips were cracked, my nails were dirty. I really didn't like any of this, i began to think of the orphange. They probably think I was killed or kidnapped, sadly they never even looked for me. ' maybe jessie got adopted while i was away.' I smiled soflty at that though as I made my way out of the new alley I found between a new store and a barber. I was surrounded by homeless men, women and very young children. Before I left the alley way I was stopped by a drunk man he was slightly swaying and he seemed upset, he was mumbling under his breath. I tried to pass him but he blocked me and shattered the bottle and started to force me up against the wall. "Look what i got myself here." He said as his strong alcoholic breath hit me. He pushed me up against the wall.

"No stop, please!" he began to unbuckle his pants and pressed himself up against me. He began to kiss my neck and shoulder, he raised his hand to press mine against the wall so I couldn't move. "STOP IT!" I yelled out as I used my energy to force him off. He fell backwards and a piece of wood pierced his chest from behind, I didn't want to help him. So he bled out and died, I saw his spirit leave his vessel.

He looked over to his lifeless body and then at me, "who are you? W-what did you do to me?" He began to look frighten. I picked up a piece of glass and saw that my eyes are glowing a bright hazel. 'What is this?' I raised my hand to touch my face when I noticed my hands had turned black as the night and a red mist surrounding my finger tips. I looked over at the groups of family's, they all stood back some ran. With out hesitation I dropped the glass and ran away. 'I just killed a man.' I thought with no tears. . . . . . . but a smile!
