The Gentle Maiden and Five Lustful Brothers-Chapter 146: Your eyes are bleeding

Ash looked at Violet in utter horror.

"Violet, you’re crying blood..." his voice trembled with concern and worry.

Everything was going wrong. His daughter had been kidnapped, his gentle queen became a raging, bloodthirsty, lunatic capable of slaughtering an entire town, and now she’s crying blood.

Ash’s life had turned upside down in under 8hrs.

His heart ached for his missing daughter and broken wife.

"We’ll talk with Arya about the tears. Until then let’s keep this between us."

Ash pulled Violet in hugging her with fierce protectiveness, the hot shower beat down on them, tears leaving blood-streaked stains on her cheeks. The color orange was washing down the drain. Ash held her head against his hot chest, rubbing Violet’s head tenderly. They stood together in a deep saddening silence, while Violet’s shoulders shuddered and she just sobbed into him.

He wished he could carry the weight of her pain with his, it broke him that he couldn’t carry this burden for her.

"Shhh, it’s okay baby, we’ll find her, and we’ll punish the ones responsible. On my life, we will find her, and we will get our revenge."

She didn’t say a word she just cried into his chest. The sound of his heart grounded her, the feel of his skin, kept tethered to the moment.

She was sinking into a pit of despair, and he was the only thing keeping her here. Keeping the darkness filling her heart at bay.

Ash pulled her away and lifted her chin, the hot shower water washed over her face, Ash wiped the blood stains from her cheeks.

"Alright, let’s get you cleaned up. Hmm?" He spoke with such a tenderness it would make children go ’eww’.

Violet sniffled and nodded.

Ash grabbed her wet pink hair and began lathering it, massaging her scalp.

Her tears stopped, but the pain was unwavering.

They came out of the shower and Ash picked out her clothes and dressed her. Her feet felt heavy, she dragged them across the floor like they weighed 200 pounds.

Her aura was thick and depressing. Her face was long and beaten down by sorrow.

They climbed down the stairs and went into one of the downstairs rooms that had been turned into an office.

When the couple walked through the door the entire room quieted, and an awkward silence settled over them.

Everyone was now in the room. Jeremy and Rosa with Delilah, Gabriel and Oliver, Arya and Roland with Kalvin in tow. Lilith and Vlad with Gabriels mother, even Victor and Viktoria were there.

Ash guided Violet to her seat at head of the table and Ash took his on the opposite end.

"We’ve been working on a plan, we figured they probably brought her to a pack close by, before taking her somewhere else. We are gathering parties to send out for searching." Gabriel announced first.

At the first mention of reality every bit of calm and sadness had abandoned her leaving only wrath in its wake.

"I will join." Violet spoke up, her cold and carried a deadly edge to it.

The whole room froze and looked at her.

Lilith had seen the change firsthand already but seeing it before didn’t make seeing it now any easier.

Rosa and Arya were stunned silent, mouths hanging ajar.

Violet has never said things with such a tone.

That’s when everyone felt the shift in there.

Ash noticed her face fell, her mind was a storm ready to drown and sink entire cities. Her eyes glowed with fury, and a static charge filled the air.

"I want blood." Her words sounded so simple, so easy to understand. But they fell on deaf ears. The table was struggling to process everything that’s happened. Struggling to accept the devastatingly terrifying woman sitting at the head of the table.

"Violet... Are you okay?" Arya asked cautiously.

Violet turned her head sharply and with a cold straight face she asked, "I’m as good as you’d be if it were Kalvin that was taken."

Arya doubted that. Violet’s change was drastic and concerning. Violet moved with madness in every action. The woman that walked out the front door this morning was not the woman that was sitting with them now.

This was someone else entirely. And shivers were felt by everyone in the room.

"Mi hija, are you sure you’re good? You’re looking a little unhinged right now." Rosa looked at Violet questioningly.

Violet head twitched and she slowly turned her head to Rosa and a vicious untamed smile appeared on her face. Tilting her head to the side she asked with a cold and chilling voice "So what if I am?"

Everyone in the room gulped. Ash sat at the other side of the table closing his hands together leaning back. A twisted grin appeared on his face. His wife was terrifying and dangerously beautiful. He was wrapped around her vicious little finger. He had already met this new version of Violet, and the fear turned into arousal every time.

’Oh, god, do I love her. I love all of her. The gentle version. The sad version and this vengeful beauty in front of me’ Ash thought to himself watching the woman in front of him show her new feathers and flash her new fangs.

"Because that could be risky, you could get hurt." Rosa offered a valid reason.

But Violet’s face fell, and she her brows furrowed fiercely, her eyes glared daggers into Rosa’s eyes.

"Are you questioning your Queen?" Violet’s voice held no love for her best friend. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Rosa felt her heartbreak seeing her best friend turn into whatever the hell this was in front of her.

"What happened to you?" Arya asked, trying to hide the tremble in her voice.

"I found a way to get my daughter back, and kindness isn’t it." Violet hissed "The gentle girl you’ve always known was taken when they took my daughter. She’s gone. Theres no room for her in this world. It is wrath and hate that will bring me closer to my little girl."

"Damn Violet. You are positively disturbing, I should be alarmed, but oddly I’m turned on." Viktoria sat up in her seat and looked at Violet with a pleased grin.

Ash growled "Watch yourself, Viktoria, it’s not me you have to worry about, it’s Violet. I don’t think you can handle the crazy that’s wrapped in human skin sitting at this table with us."

Violet smiled a toothy smile, displaying her new long fangs, she place her elbows on the table and clasped her hands together, "My question I need answered now is who’s the first target?"
