Living Happily After

15: Battle

(A/N: Please read slowly, tell me if there are spelling errors.)

Where in the other events, or rather situations, that they have been through, this was a situation on where they focus on not having anymore people be put in harm's way, especially them.

When they brought this upon the Hodgins'...well this is what happened. It was about 7 days ago when Gilbert and Violet explained what was happening.

Honestly, Violet didn't know what to feel. She feels frightened, cautious, disappointed. Pity. While walking towards Mr. Hodgins house beside Gilbert, she was eaten by her own thoughts and anxiousness. Though, this wasn't because they were telling this situation to someone. It was because she feels afraid.

She felt afraid many times before, but this was a different feeling, a feeling that should be dreadful to have. And that is what she has, a horrible dreadful feeling in her chest ever so heavy.

'What will happen if Mr. Hodgins can't help us? I mean, he is going to have a child in the future. It's not that I don't trust Mr. Hodgins in helping us for the better. I am just blinded by this, this...feeling. What happens when, in the end, they take over our lives? No, nevermind that, what if we do get rid of them but other people keeps on running over us? What if-'

Her train of thought was an actual train, it was painful to hear and it just kills you to see how negative she was.

"Violet." Gilbert said, looking at her, but she wasn't looking back. She was so engulfed by her thoughts she couldn't hear him.

Gilbert stopped in front of her and took both  of her hands. He placed a gentle kiss on her lips and said, "I may not know what might be in store for us in the future, but what I know for sure is that, I will always be there for you, head to toe."

Violet looked at Gilbert. She leaned and kissed him as well, giving him a little smile. "Thank you."

Gilbert saw and returned her smile. "Let us go through this together."

When Gilbert and Violet explained all this to Hodgins a week ago, Claudia was very cautious, he wrote down places where they could say at for a while, plans to discuss with officers and Gilbert's brother, and a plan against these people who threaten his family.

To Hodgins, Gilbert was almost like his son, and Violet was almost like his daughter, though he'd have to be very young to have them, but still that's how he feels about them and he is very serious on their safety.

That whole conservation was how they are now staying at the same tavern they stayed at in Kazaly.

Something happened yesterday afternoon when they were taking a quick stroll.

While taking a stroll in the afternoon, hand in hand, they both paused at something that caught their eye.

(Pine's Weaponry Garage)

They both seemed to have the same thought as not a second later, they were both inside the shop. Sure, the both of them have used guns before, but that was when there was a war to be fought, this was....

"Hello! How can I...oh, you two are the new people in town. Welcome to Kazaly, hoping you aren't planning to use this against us, are you?" The man said, quite nervous.

"Goodness, no! We have....our own reasons...." Gilbert said, looking at Violet.

"Of...course, I am terribly sorry for that thought, I beg your pardon." The man said.

"It is quite alright, we all have our....insecurities, though you could help us with a gun that's strong and quick?" Gilbert asked.

The man nodded, walking towards Gilbert. "Yes, well we do have big guns for rapid fire, though for something that is accessible, I'd recommend a handgun. Let me show the way to the infirmary."

Violet didn't say anything and just observed.

They hoped for the best outcome which is that the threat was only a bluff, yet that was highly unlikely, so they hoped for they were ready for this...battle.

And that is that for December! Please tell me what think about it and what you expect for next year, see you!
