Chapter 6- Tears

Chapter 6- Tears

 

Violet

 

My eyes filled with tears, I tried to wipe them away but they just kept coming and wouldn’t stop. Eventually I gave up wiping them and let myself cry. I didn’t say anything. I just stood and stared at my treehouse, the part of my life that had helped me get through so much. The part of my life that had let me cry in when I was scared, dance in when I was happy, and just sit in when I wanted to be alone. The treehouse that I had spent weeks to build, suffuring through splinters and cuts and bruises, which I could never explain to my mom. The tears flowed more and more, bringing back memories of Peppy and Jake, of being a kid, and how easy things used to be back then. Back before I discovered I was a fairy, I thought to myself, but I didn’t dare let myself believe it. Being a fairy didn’t make life harder, it just made life more… complicated.

I was standing in my treehouse. It was in pieces. Holes torn everywhere in the wood, all my belongings I had stored here broken. You could look up and see the sky through 3 stories of the treehouse. I was completely devastated. And worst of all, the remains of the shadow falcons were scattered everywhere. Dirt, debree, and ash scattered all over.

                I choked back a sob and took a deep breath, finally realizing that all my friends were huddled around trying to comfort me. Frost nudged me, her eyes soft and understanding.

                “Violet, im so… so… so sorry. If there’s anything I can do to help-?” I cut frost off,

                “No.”

                “No?” She asked confused.

                “We aren’t going to sit here and…” I sniffled, “And-and cry. They hurt us- they hurt me. And if- if they hurt us, im going for them. The shadows, they will not prevail.” I laughed, realizing how weirdly determined I’d sounded, but I let the words hang in the air.

                “Nice girl, nice speech. But we don’t need inspiring words right now, this is real life. Not some book.” Colt grumbled. I stared daggers at him. Maybe that had sounded funny, but I wasn’t kidding when I said what I said. All of my sadness drained away and was replaced with anger and hate toward Colt.

                “Colt,” I ordered.

                “Huh?” He rudely asked.

                “Who are you Colt?” I prodded.

                “Who am i?”
                “You’ve told us your story, but who are you, what are you?” I narrowed my eyes as I said it. I knew he understood what I was asking.

                “Who am i- Oh.” He inhaled sharply. “I’m afraid that’s personal classified information sweetie” He grimaced, “I don’t have to tell you anything.

                “You live here, your part of Celestial Towers. And I just saved your life. You owe it to me. You have to tell me.” I pushed him harder. He rolled his eyes.

                “Fine, fine. If you insist.”  He inhaled again, “I was a mountain fairy. My element was mountains. I was hanging around on them mountains when… they appeared.” He stopped as if he was remembering something but then continued. “I was a shadow fairy after that.” He shook his head. But we all stared at him, perplexed. He had said was a shadow fairy. Not is. Which means somehow… somehow he had been cured.

                I heard Fira gasp. She held on to her heart and asked the question we were all wondering.

                “How.”

Author's Note:
Hey guys, so I think I said this but I seriously don't post chapters often AT ALL. Haha. Jake, I will try to incorporate your character into the next chapter hopefully. But that's all I guess. Please comment below and tell me what you think! ;)
