- Academy, 2 months later-
Violet practically skipping, going through the door to answer the calling
Her hand, clasp the handle, continued by pulling motion. Revealing a man in his teen. His dark blue coat, slightly lifted by the wind. Revealing gold pocket watch, tucked in to a beautiful embroidered shirt.
With slow and graceful action, the man lean and start with a bow, to a figure that grace him while opening the door. A simple smile plastering his sharp face, a gesture that Violet answer with care.
Then a pair dainty hand, start to pluck the man in to the space, shocked, his unready figure fall to the front. A hearty laugh escape from his lips, to the eagerness of the women before him. The way they play, like a pair of couple in love, a normal occurrence inside the educational place
But the second, they pull up the curtain, the play was stopped in an instant
Gone is the smile, gone is the shock and gone is the play
The man is now halt, bowing deeply to a figure. His left hand moved behind his back, while the other tucked neatly before his chest.
"How deep ?"
A question, come quick. Signaling the charade is now ending.
"Deep enough to know"
"And his next course of action ?"
"A purge"
"Figures"
Altaris can't help but sneer
"Let me guess, the target is noble"
"You are one of them"
That made Altaris nod.
"Any other things you want to share ?"
"Ah ... yes they got seven heads"
"Well.... thanks for the heads up, you can go!"
The conversation comes quick. Without providing his name, the guy nod and straighten his back. Back to the state of pretend.
Then, the door opened behind him, small smile creep again to his face, and a soft sounding word come out of his almost fanged mouth.
"See you later love"
The guy disappear, under the darkness of street. With a click, Violet turn her body, straight, to where Altaris be, their discussion will surely begin. And before argument was thrown, Violet need to be in place.
Instead of jumping back to the dinning chair her butt rest in his thigh, while her hand crawl to his collar, slightly pulling his neck. Forcing him to meet her eyes. As to prompt the time to lock in place, they now sit face to face.
"Is this one of your attempt to seduce me love, you know i can't say no !"
Violet bit her lips as an answer
"So what's the plan ?"
"Plan ?"
Altaris tilt his head
"For the mock battle ?"
"Yes"
"The plan is no plan, we don't need a plan. The mock battle hold no weight"
"But what if.."
"What if they attacked me right ?"
Altaris cut her off
"They will and supposed to attack me, and i will do my best to defend, like a little bitch i am"
"So hiding again ?"
"A good move Violet, is the one you do under the well. The thing that matter is not in stage, but the one beneath the play"
Altaris, with purpose shift his hand, hold her chin and give her kiss
"You do well to remember that my queen"
That move was potent, so potent her cheek paint red. The talk might not yet conclude, but swear in all her being she would end it as fast as she could
"Does he contact you already ?"
"Hmm ?"
"You know what i mean Violet"
His voice was smooth, calm. Calmer then it should
"Yes...."
Her tone start to low
"Violet ?"
No answer.
"Violet !"
"Violet, look at me !"
She lift her head, Their eyes has met once again.
"I'm sorry, we should end this"
With that he try to stand, the mood is too low to his preference. His head start to churn, while his finger shake a little.
"Alright come here"
He finally decide
Violet, head still hung low, her eyes fully on the ground, hiding the contour of her face. She slowly slide, entering Atrius embrace.
His kind of way to lift her worries away
They still like that for a little while, sometimes he brush her hair, pulling a few soft grasp out of her
Then he try to lift her head again, to make sure no tears plastering her cheeks. Sadly for him, Violet refuse to relent, her sight is still locked on the ground.
"What would you let me do ?"
"Make me forget"
The answer come abrupt, then a click
"Excuse me ?"
"Hmmm"
An understanding gnawn upon him
"Violet you serious ?"
"Ck"
BAM
And next, come the slam
"You don't get to play me women"
He growl while pinning violet on the wall. Her sight, practically shine, she look at him with innocent eyes. Their breath intertwine, supposed to be melodic and filled with rhymes, yet with how the situation escalate, different tension spread in the air.
"What do you say back then ? make you forget ?"
"You want me to make you forget ?"
"O love what a wise word you say, Sure ill do it, ill make you forget"
"Matter effect that your punishment, i make you forget EVERYTHING, every single one of thing"
"So don't rest love, your torment were just in play"
Word after word, sentence after sentence pouring out of his mouth, myriad of emotion thrust into her. Her heart practically become rainbow, lust, relieve, fear and joy, mix between one another. Supposed to be unforgetable experience
Alas his word hold true
Tomorrow when the star start shining.... Violet do not remember a thing
---------
Then next day, the room full of buzz
Thousand different student, packed and thrust into one class
A pair of red eyes, absorving the entire space. He looked everywhere, trying to find something worth of his care
Yet he found nothing, even after inspecting for a while
So, to cease his boredoom, he snap his middle and his thumb, a flaming snake, spawn for unknown where. Coiling around his finger and some times his wares
The spectacle, was quite good to see, distracting Violet from her shaking thigs and body
It can't be help actually
She may can't recall a piece
But last night accident still vivid in her dreams
"Hong long are we supposed to wait ?"
A comment from unknown source, suddenly thrown in to the air
Showing the eagerness of majority, and the concerns of the entire class
Today they is day the've waiting for
An introduction to mock battles
To answer that question, a sound of cane suddenly filled the podium. Shutting the act of the intire room
