Velvet Red

"And they all lived happily ever after, the end." The young girl's mother gently sighed in as she leaned over to place the hard covered book on the dresser beside her bed.

"That's so unfair! That was the most stupid ending I've heard!" The young girl shifted uncomfortably on her velvet silk sheets.

"What do you mean by that, my dear?" Her mother's voice laced with concern, but her smile was still evident on her pale face.

"The villain didn't deserve that fate! She deserves to live just as happily! A villain has way more potential than a pathetic wannabe princess! Plus a villain has much more monologue and creativity, they are complex individuals that are so very unpredictable. Don't get me wrong, being unpredictable makes a villain all the more interesting." Her mother's smile fell almost as quickly as her daughter's words sunk in.

"T-That's..one thing I will always love about you, my dear. You always look for the good in even the most wicked and twisted of people." She faked her smile. Her mother always knew her daughter had a more processed mind and complex way of thinking then other kids her age, but it made her nonetheless uneasy.

"That's not what-" The young girl started but was cut short.

"I will hear nothing more of it! Goodnight, Vivi. Sweet dream." The young girl's mother left leaving her untucked in, without a kiss, and so very lost.
