Chapter 8

Violet's pov 

"Good morning Blossom did you sleep well?" I asked her as I woke up and found her sitting beside me 

She nodded her head in yes and I smiled. 

"Good morning princess, you need to get ready, prince is leaving for the West Side of the kingdom." Margaret said and I looked at her shocked 

" What? Why? He was not supposed to till last night then why now? Where is he? "I asked Margaret immediately 

" I do not know princess King ordered him to go, so he is going. "Margaret replied and I did not liked it at all 

Why will Father ask Theo to go? 

I got ready for the day and went outside to stop Theo from leaving and Blossom followed me as well

" Theo, why are you going?" I asked him and he just smiled at me but the smile is not a pleasant one but more like a mockery 

"King ordered me to, that is why I am going." He replied 

"I will talk to my father. Why will he send you without any reason?" I suggested 

"Try sister if you can." He said and I felt like crying 

Why does he have to go? I never stayed away from father or Theo for a long time but now I have to. 

Suddenly it started to thunder in the sky. 

It happens whenever I get sad or start crying. The sky will be covered with black clouds and a storm will hit. 

"Violet do not cry. I will be back very soon." Theo said and wiped my tears 

I did not even notice when I started crying. 

Father came there as well, noticing the change in weather maybe. 

" My heart, what happened to you? Why are you crying?" Father asked me and hugged me as well 

" Why did you ask Theo to leave? I do not want him to go." I told him while sobbing a bit 

"He has to go to work, my star! The West Side of our kingdom needs someone to be there. If he does not go then I have to go." Father said and I looked down 

I can not afford any of them leaving me. 

"Theodore will be back soon, do not cry my heart!" Father said and I nodded 

What can I even do? I can not even go anywhere. But if Theo can go out then why can I not? The monsters will not eat him? Or maybe he is strong enough to fight those monsters. That means I will be safe if I go with him? 

"Father, can I go with Theo?" I asked him hopefully 

"No, my beautiful daughter, you can not go." Father denied immediately but this time I will not back out easily if Theo can go out and protect himself then why not me? 

"But father Theo can protect me. He is going out right? And those monsters will not kill him as well." I told him 

"Theodore is a boy and you are a girl. Those monsters hunt down young girls like you. They do not harm boys because they are not tasty at all. Those monsters does not prefer tasteless food" Father said and I pouted 

Why do they have to eat girls only? Are we that much special? 

"But other girls also go out right?" I asked 

"No one goes out my star. Every girl stays inside her home only. Even your friends stay inside the castle only is not it?" Father asked me and I nodded 

He is right but what to do I am feeling like going out and seeing the outside world. I never felt like this before. I mean I wanted to go out but this time my desire is very very strong. Maybe the strongest? Maybe I am not sure. 

"Violet I will be back very soon I promise you siso! Now let me go first so I can come back fast." Theo said and I nodded hugging him 

I will miss him very much!

"Eat princess!" Margaret said but I was not feeling like

"I am eating, you go for now." I ordered her and she left 

"Blossom, what is wrong with me? Why do I want to go out so badly? I was never this desperate. And you know I can not even tell this to anyone. Only you are the one who can listen to me without any problems because you will not tell anybody about what I told you. "I told her and giggled at the end 

She came near me and sat on my lap. 

" Why are you not eating Blossom? Are you sad as well because I am sad and Theo left? " I asked and she again nodded 

" Can you understand my language?" I asked and she again nodded 

"Wow! That is such a good news. I did not knew that you can understand me." I said and kissed her 

"From today you are my best friend and secret keeper OK?" I asked her and again she nodded 

I ate my food and she also ate her food. 

I missed Theo very much but could not do anything. 

Next few days passed and I was bored and eating Blossom's head with my rambling throughout the time. Sometimes I feel like Blossom gets irritated but still keeps on looking at me making me feel that she is interested to hear whatever I have to say. 

I want to see the outside world very much but I can not and that is making me frustrated… 

Today I am painting something after a long time. 

I was feeling bored so I thought of painting my imagination of the outside world. 

Blue clear sky bright shining sun sea beach. I have seen illustrations of the sea so I know what it looks like. That was my plan to paint but suddenly I felt like I was going into some kind of trance and started painting something I did not even imagined to paint. 

My hands were working on their own and when I finished painting it I gasped in horror after seeing what I painted.
