Violet Is Nowhere Novels & Stories

I counted the seconds in my head, promising myself I’d tear her throat out once I got to ten. “Dude, you there? You can’t just say shit like that and not elaborate.” Cole griped. “Your mate is here, Cole, and if she doesn’t start talking, I’m going to kill her.” On that note, I hung up the phone. “Violet’s in trouble. I think she’s been kidnapped.” I cursed, smashing my fingers against the screen of my phone until the tracker app popped onto the screen. The little green blip that was Violet had strayed far from Main Street. It had bypassed Olive’s place entirely and was now at an address I recognized all too well.

“A place Eleanor should never have found.” The room went still. No more. That was what Violet told herself. No more tonight. No more dead women. No more hidden children. No more rooms pretending not to exist. No more keys. No more messages. No more men deciding whether truth was too dangerous for her. But the word had already lodged under her skin. Briar. A place, not a thing. A place Eleanor should never have found. Her phone buzzed. Marisol. Violet answered fast. “Tell me.”

And then there was Violet. She fought at Eloria’s side, though her movements lacked the conviction of her teacher. Her spells cracked the air, bright and deadly, but her eyes never strayed far from the forest below. From the cliff. From the river. Her chest burned with a question she could not voice, a fear she could not allow Eloria to see: Where is Kael? A shriek cut the night.

Violet ran as she went to the place farthest from the organizers because there would be more trees and more small caves to hide in. Though it would be easy to find an ideal hiding place, but it was not, Violet was confused for a moment because she felt that any place could be discovered if she shone the light. The cave she found was too small, and even though she could get into it, the cave door didn't have anything to cover it up.

I followed her line of sight but saw nothing. Vines rose up from the floor and wrapped around the air. Violet’s arm pulled backwards, bringing the vines closer. A pained grunt was heard, making me realize that it was actually someone that we couldn’t see. “Pull your gift back or else these vines will turn into wolfsbane. Now, that’s some pretty painful shit from what I’ve heard. You have fifteen seconds to decided,” Violet told the invisible person. To make her point and psych out whoever the fuck it was, a new vine appeared as the seconds ticked by.

He laughs again. I find myself relaxing slightly. Maybe this is good. Maybe talking to someone who isn’t one of the three heirs currently destroying my sanity is exactly what I need. Caelan steps closer. Not enough to make me uncomfortable. Not yet. “You know, your eyes really are that color.” I blink. “What?” “Violet.” I shift awkwardly. “Last time I checked.” His gaze lingers. “They’re beautiful.” Heat touches my cheeks. “Thanks.” His eyes drop briefly toward my mouth.

Violet shouted as she felt something ominous rise within her. She left them to do her bidding as she got out her crystal and tried to gaze into the ball. She only saw darkness and she almost yelled in frustration. She opened a tray that carried different poultices and began adding them to the mixture in Elise's hands. She collected the bowl and began chanting. The vulture began to shake and say Luna stone, Luna stone in a hoarse voice. Bianca backed away while Elise looked at the animal with interest. Violet suddenly had to stop mixing when her phone rang. “ It is your mate Elise and he is asking for you.”

Liam didn’t like it, but I saw something in Violet’s expression I had never seen before. Desperation. It seemed like she was pleading with me which was weird. Violet never begged anyone. Against my better judgment, I nodded. “Fine. But if you think you can manipulate me again, you’re wrong.” We walked to a quieter part of the hall, away from the music and the crowd. My heart pounded in my chest. My emotions felt like a storm I couldn’t control. Violet took a deep breath, “I’ve missed you,” she said softly. “I’ve wanted to contact you for months.”

At that moment, I saw his forehead relax; his breathing steadier. In the evening, Caser stopped by to see what was going on. “He slept all day. Is this unusual?” I asked eagerly. Caser said disgustedly. “Better not wake up again.” I smiled; everything was fine. While Ryan was still asleep the following day, I went outside, planning to help Caser pick herbs. Suddenly, here I encountered a shocking scene. Violet, who has been missing for a long time, appears here. Violet was sitting on a cliff, wearing a tight leather suit with a dagger and gun on her belt. She looks different from the time we met. Her body carried a cold aura as it had just been forged from hell; the previous fake smile disap
