Fire (COMPLETED)

Chapter 17

I bite my inner lips and stop talking. The memory’s still there in my mind. I still feel the pang inside my chest thinking about how Edelweiss was killed in front of me. The anger towards Lori is still overwhelming as well. She clears her throat and fixes her tight skirt.

“So?” she raises an eyebrow.

“She’s dead. I was found there with the cops, and they thought that I was the one who killed her. I guess that was one of Lori’s master plan after all,” I sigh.

“So you’re concluding that you didn’t kill her?”

“Indeed I am,” I folds both of my hands and lean myself on the wall. She looks at me with the same straight expression. I know she’s working professionally, but can she just cheer me up a bit? After all I’ve been through.

A new clank of shoes echoes from the hall. She peeks.

“Looks like you got a visitor again.”

It sounds like heels. Is it a girl?

“Who is it?” I croak. She only shrugs. Of course, I can’t hope much from her.

The sound of the heels tapping the tiles become closer as my heart beats faster. A face zoom on the bars. My eyes widen. I haven’t seen her since they put me in jail of Edelweiss murder.

“Yvonne?” I say. Her hair is still as long as before, her face still looks like a porcelain, and she still wears Victorian-themed dresses.

“Elle,” she heaves; she seems like she’s in some kind of rush. “I need to talk to you. This is very important, and you have to listen to me.”

Yvonne has never been in a rush or this panic before. I guess this is important. I walk closer to the bars as the journalist leave the hall. “What happened?”

“I pay everything. You can get out of this prison tomorrow. I know you want to have some kind of revenge with Lori. But this is not the time. I use my powers to know what’s going on, and you won’t like it.”

“I never like being in this prison too, just tell me,” I say in a rush.

“You won’t kill Lori or any kind of revenge to her,” she says. I frown in anger. What does she mean I can’t have a revenge on Lori? She killed Edelweiss from me and Indigo, for Pete’s sake. But I let her finish her words. “Okay, I should tell you something, and by that it includes the past that you don’t know. And you know what I mean, I will be dead here right after I tell you. Now don’t even cry for me, just know the truth, that’s all that matters.”

I nods. After all that I’ve been through, I guess I can manage my tears from flowing over her death. She’s not as close to me as Edelweiss, but I salute to have the will to tell me. I’m not even close to her!

“It’s not Lori who’s behind all this.”

My eyes widen. Her skin wrinkles each second, I guess she’s losing her immortality. I keep my mouth shut and let her continues.

“It’s Violin. It’s Violin all along,” she spits. My whole world pauses for a second. Did I just hear that wrong? “Lori isn’t real. You don’t know what Violin’s  power don’t you? He’s a shifter! He can change into anyone in a split second.”

My body becomes light. Violin? I don’t have the slightest idea that he’s been behind all this... How could he? Has it been his master plan? Is it his plan to let me fall in love with him, to ‘forget’ me, to kill Edelweiss? It’s Violin, among all people?

“I’m the only one who knows the truth. He was about to kill me. But,” she chuckles, “Joke’s on him. I’m already dead.” Her skin wrinkles even more. 

I’m still wrapping with shock that lingers all over my head.

“I’ll get my revenge on him, don’t you worry,” I say through grit teeth.

“Go on, L’etoille, I’m not denying that,” she shrugs. She sounds a little bit unlike her old self. I remember how she acts elegantly and carefully around me, sounds a little bit like Violin. Or… was it actually Violin? I snap out of my daydream and look at her once again. “Goodbye, Elle.” Her skin wrinkles and she’s gone into dust, and her clothe fall to the ground.

Another person’s dead. I’m not letting him get Indigo too.

I squint through the gap of the cell bars.

I’m coming for him.
