Innocent Thing

Lovely Blossom

-Two weeks later -

"What the hell did you eat, Child?" Dylan said as Violet squatted down next to the toilet, releasing all the substances inside her. " I-I d-don't--- *blargh*.....know." Violet responded as she spilled the last of the day's food into the water making a great splash on the surface of it. Saliva fell from her mouth into the water creating small ripples, bits of food floated in it creating a type of abstract art. She got up flushing the toilet and walked to the sink to rid herself of the various stains on her shirt. Dylan waited for her to finish cleaning herself up, leaning on the door frame. ~ Hmm... She might be sick~ When she was done he walked to her placing the palm of his hand against her forehead. " Hmm... Well you don't seem to have a fever. Maybe you have a cold? Do you feel alright?" She shook her head, " My throat doesn't hurt... And I feel ok. I only get dizzy sometimes though and a little nausea in the mornings. Other than that, I'm alright!" She picked her head up looking at him giving him a warm smile. He returned the gesture leading her away from the bathroom. " Well then, it must be something that did you bad then." He said with a nervous laugh. She looked at him questioning his laughter then finding nothing wrong she went to her room. He went to the kitchen grabbing the washcloth to clean the sink. Halfway through his chore, it suddenly occured to him. He stood there trembling in anger slamming his hand down hard against the counter. ~ That bastard.... He got her pregnant! My sweet little Violet is pregnant with that Bastard's child!~
------------------------------------------------------
~Could it be? .... No ... It can't be. No! It's not true. No... It's just my weak stomach. I ate too quickly. Yes! That's it! I probably ate too much! There's nothing wrong with me!~ Voilet sat in her room sometimes getting up to pace around from too much boredom. There was nothing to do, all their was to do was imagine impossible scenarios. Some involved her and Dylan getting rescued,others ended with both of them killing Levi. If only she had the guts to do all of this. " Some day... I will do it!"
------------------------------------------------------
"The way he grabbed on to me ... His eyes showed no mercy. He could've killed me but he chose not to. Why? Haven't I done enough to make him want to end me? His eyes they turned icy for a moment while he was pressing against my neck but when I was near passing... H-he just turned into his regular self. I brought out his worst but he some how was able to break through his "icy self" Am I really that heartless? Heartless enough to not let myself express my emotions rationally? Am I really that despicable that a pure-hearted person like Dylan let me live?" Levi lay on his bed staring at the ceiling letting his thoughts run free. His room was becoming more and more crowded with each new wave of thoughts flooding the floor, it then reached a point where he was having difficulty breathing. " I p-promise you Dylan, I will stop pestering that girl! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!" he wailed through gulps of air. He wrapped himself tightly in a blanket letting guilt fill him till it drove him to the brink of tears. He shouted out all his wrongs to the world. The world responded with silence, it preferred to see him suffer.
------------------------------------------------------
Dylan was sitting at the table with his head in his arms wondering how he was going to handle telling Violet the truth. At that moment he heard the door click; the creak of the door pierced his ears. His head was now facing the door, a tall shadow blocked the sunlight coming in through the doorway. "L-Levi?" said Dylan raising his head higher. The shadow revealed itself to him. Levi made his way towards the table with a weary frown. "Sit down Levi. There's things we've yet to talk about." Dylan commanded keeping his glare on him. Levi obediently did as he was told and sat on the chair trying to keep himself from trembling.
" He's here." Something told Violet that her assaulter was near, she felt her stomach go weak. ~Please... Don't let him bother me,Dylan. I wouldn't stand being by his side once again.~ She gripped her blanket preparing to wrap herself around it in case he were to come in. She didn't let her gaze move away from the door. "No. Please... No..." ~Did the knob just shake a bit? No. No! It's just my imagination! He's not harming me anymore! I'll kill before he lays one finger on me again!~ The wait was eating her from the inside even though she was not in danger, she didn't feel secure in the little space she had. Her head was spinning, her food was nearing her throat. " Oh god." she said as her right hand desperately tried to cover her mouth. She ran towards the door stumbling on the way.
------------------------------------------------------
"Levi you have to stop! You can't go around taking what you want, you're going to get caught sooner or later." Dylan looked at Levi making sure that the message was getting through to him. Levi met his eyes,nodded nervously and gave him a timid smile. He cleared his throat but when he spoke his voice came out shaky " I-I know, I-I k-know, Dylan.... I'll try to be a better person..." Dylan was about to rant at him when he paused and processed what Levi had just said. "Wait... You mean you're willing to---" Violet barged into the room, surprising both of them. Levi got up preparing to walk to her. She wanted to retreat but her sickness wanted out so she dashed to the bathroom while Dylan calmly got up from his chair and sat Levi down. Levi sat down looking at Dylan with confusion, Dylan stared at him unaffected by what had just happened. Levi broke the silence by asking Dylan a question " Is she?-- D-did I?--- What? Dylan, what's going on? What's wrong with her?" Dylan got up from his chair making his way towards the kitchen, letting the questions linger in the air. He poured himself a cup of water, twirled around and leaned against the counter, holding the cup inches away from his mouth. He smirked at Levi and cleared his throat. " Well.... I'm pretty sure you know what's wrong with her.  Unless you weren't taught by someone about it." He paused and stared at Levi coldly " She's pregnant. With your child. We're having a baby!" Dylan exclaimed squealing with excitement. The news hit Levi hard. He fell forward gripping the table and felt like the world had punched him in the stomach. " H-how d-did this happen?!" he shouted. Dylan lifted his head slowly while fingering the cup " Do you really want me to explain, how we're born?" He asked trying to contain himself from laughing.
