I'm unexpectedly yours.

Chapter 8.3: Painful Past

(2 weeks ago)

A 17 year old Violet giggled when the white rabbit sneezed while it was eating grass. She was quietly watching it from afar, hiding from a tree. It was early afternoon when she decided to roam around the forest and it caught her attention.

A rabbit is her favorite animal. She finds it cute, especially when it was eating. She actually had one on their mansion. A birthday gift from her father when she was turning 15. It's name is Billy. She is so fond of them that her father always called her bunny.

She tried to took a light step to see it much nearer but she wrongly step on a twigs. The rabbit heard her and so it ran away.

"Damn." She said and just hopelessly stared at the rabbit far away.

"You're not good at it." Violet was startled from the voice and turned around.

A girl that's a little shorter than her was standing in front of her, smiling. She was wearing a brown shirt that's similar to the color of her long and wavy hair. 'She's cute' she thought.

The girl stares were intense that she didn't know she's been silent the whole time and just staring at her.

"Uhm, Pardon?" she asked breaking the staring contest.

The girl chuckled and answered. " I said you're not good at it."

Violet was somewhat puzzled. "At what?" she asked again.

"At being invisible. You scared the rabbit."

"Oh" Violet replied and somehow embarrassed. So she sucked at invisible, yeah. The girl might be right because a werewolf like her didn't even heard the girl coming.

Violet didn't said anything again. She and her father arrived here just like two days ago and she not familiar in this place, let alone a stranger in front of her . But she didn't want to be rude.

'Maybe she will go away if I won't talk to her.' she thought. But the girl just giggled at her as if she read her mind.

----------------------------------------------------------

"Vittoria." Violet muttered when the figure appeared from the bushes. Her so called friend looked at her when she called her name. She was quiet shocked to see Violet.

She was wearing a maroon leathered jacket, a black pants and high boots. There's also a pistol on her hand.

Henry growled seeing her. Although she just a kid like Violet, he still needed to be aware. She's still their enemy. And as for Violet, she didn't know what to do. She's angry and hurt at the same time. She was betrayed.

Vittoria was confused for a moment when she encountered Violet on that state. Her father didn't allowed her to go with the team. Securing her safety. But she can't just stay behind so she still followed them. She saw the others were retreated back but she cannot find her father. So she decided to find him carrying only a pistol. The only weapon she had.

She didn't said anything and didn't even dared too look longer at Violet's eyes. Instead, she turned to look at the body at the side that bathed with blood.

As first, she didn't recognized who's body it was but when she did, a tear fell on her eye.

"No." She muttered and looked at Violet. A sorrow was evident on her eyes.

She looked back at the body again. "Papa?" Her voice croaked. And she was about to cry.

She immediately came to her father side and kneeled. She put the gun down and shake his shoulders. And then put both of her hands to his face and tried to wake him up.

"Pa?" She cried. "No, no, no, no." Her hands were trembling and she placed it onto all of his father's wound hoping against hope that it will heal. But all she had was blood on her hands.

When she didn't get a response to her father, she cried hard . "Noooooo!" She shouted with agony.

The father and daughter just watched. They can't do anything about it. Even how sad it was to look at the girl crying in despair, her father deserves it.

'Come on Violet.' Henry solemnly said. Although the girl was also a threat to their kind they chose to leave her as she grieves to her father's death.

Violet stared at her for a little longer before she followed her father.

Four repeated gunshots were released before they can walk away further. Henry's huge wolf form suddenly collapsed infront of Violet. She was startled from the sound but as soon as she saw her father's condition she ran fast to him.

"Dad!" She shouted and kneeled down.

Henry was still alive but he is severely injured. There's a wound on his upper leg. One on his neck and two on his left side of the chest. The bullets pierce through his flesh and blows out on the other side. The blood was oozing from it. Those bullets we're not just ordinary.

Violet tried to aide her father by giving pressure to the wound but it didn't help. "Help! Help us!" She shouted. Hoping that others would hear her and help her father. But no one came.

As she cried, the form of her father slowly changes to his human form. His wounds and blood were clearly visible on his naked body. "Violet." He weakly called her name and held her hand.

"No dad. Just hold on okay? They will come." Violet said through cries. But her father new that it was hopeless.

"D-dont... be afr-raid." He said barely breathing.

"No. Please dad, no." Violet said shaking her head. The tears were falling freely from her eyes. The last time she cried hard like this was when her grandfather died.

"I l-love.. you."

The hand of her father that was holding her finally loosen. His eyes were shut closed and his breathing stop. Violet's world suddenly crashed down. Her father is dead.

She embrace her father tight and cried. Why did this happen to her father? He doesn't deserve this. He was just trying to save their kind.

Violet's cry died down a little. Her pain turned to anger. And that anger is directed for the one who did this to her father.

Even that person don't talk or make any noise, Violet can sense her.

"You killed him." She said full of anger. Her orbs glowed and her pupils dilated. Her fangs were trying to get out as well as her claws. Like she's gonna shift anytime soon.

"He killed mine. So we're even now ." Vittoria replied in a hoarse voice. But anger was still evident on those words

Violet suddenly turned to her and was ready to shift to her wolf form but then it stop when a bullet pierce to her left shoulder. She cried out .

She touch her shoulders and got blood on her hand. She stared at it. The pain of her wound was bearable. She maybe used different gun because the bullet is not the same to his father. But why?

She looked at the person in front of her. Vittoria was still holding the gun, pointing at her. But Violet still lunged forward.

Vittoria didn't shoot her this time but then she halted. Because the wound she thought she can handle become unbearable. It's like a lava was slowly flowing through her veins. A poisoned bullet.

She looked at Vittoria as she kneeled down. "How could you do this?" She asked.

Vittoria didn't said anything. She held the gun down and slowly walk towards Violet. She looked unbothered. Knowing that the latter can't harm her on her condition.

Violet stares didn't faltered as the girl came to her. She stared at those eyes that was similar to the man.

"You betrayed me." Violet said still holding on the her shoulder. Tears were trying to fall from her eyes but she didn't dared to cry. She had enough. This girl doesn't deserve her tears.

"I never betrayed you. Because we're enemies before the moment we met." Vittoria countered back. She void of any emotion now. Only staring at her.

Violet collapsed to the ground. She can't handle the pain anymore and she's feeling weak. The poison was slowly spreading to her body. Her sight were also blurry and she's barely conscious.

"Goodbye." Vittoria muttered before her consciousness left her.
