Violet Black
I woke up drenched in sweat, feeling unbearably ill. I felt the vomit crawl up my throat. I jump out of the bed, throwing the duvet that cover me aside and ran to the bathroom.
I threw up until there was nothing left to throw up. Until my throat felt scratched as I kept dry heaving. My hands shook and my head and body felt like it was on fire.
I sat on the floor for a little while, rubbing the back of my hand against my forehead to wipe the sweat and resting my face on the toilet seat. It was cold against my skin.
I heard the bedroom door screech but I felt to weak to see who it may be.
"Violet - what's wrong baby?" Druella asked, worry etched in her sweet tone. She leans down next to me, pushing my hair away from my mouth and face and running her fingers through my scalp. I fluttered my eyes open, "I - I am scared Ella." my voice was soft and wavered.
She stands and gets a wash cloth, soaking it under the sink and placing it against my forehead and wiping the sweat off my face. "I know - I know. I j - just wish you would let someone come with you... protect you." She says, still wiping my face with the washcloth.
I attempted to steady my hands and lifted my head up off the toilet seat and sat against the wall, Druella sitting in front of me.
She was rubbing her plump stomach, relaxing the baby.
"You know I couldn't though - I couldn't risk someone else for him to kill, just to get to me." I say. She just nods, looking down into her lap.
"Do you guys have a name yet?" I ask, reaching over and gripping her hand. I wanted to change the subject of having to run from my father. I felt distant to my brother and my basically sister in law. I wanted to hold on to something while I was away, since I wasn't sure how long I would be running for. Or if I would even be alive to see them again.
She looks up, a smile creeping onto her lips and her eyes begin to sparkle. "Andromeda." She says softly. I smile, "Like the star." I respond.
"Yeah." She beams. "Would you like to feel? Sometimes she kicks around this time in the morning." She inquiries.
I felt a sense of warmth rush over me and my hands stopped shaking. I reach my hand over as Druella guided it to the bottom right of her belly.
I felt soft vibrations on the inside of her stomach. I smiled and looked up at her. "Wow she - she's strong. She will be so strong I can tell." I say happily.
She stifles a heartfelt laugh as tears began to fall from her face. "I - I'm s- sorry I - the hormones th - they are a lot." She sobs.
I pull her into a hug, taken aback by the sudden outburst of sadness. But I understood, I was feeling quite hormonal lately as well. "Oh Ella. I'm sorry baby." I say softly, stroking her hair as she now was sobbing against my shirt.
She pulls away, tears puddled underneath her eyelids threatening to fall. She sniffles, attempting to pull herself together. "Violet - y- you cant d- die o- okay? I - I will nev - never fu- fucking forgive you." She stutters through sniffles, wiping the tears off her face. "I - I want your nieces t- to know y- you. O- okay?" She continues, still stifling back sobs.
I felt my eyes prick with tears. I rub them away before they could fall. I look into her eyes, "Druella - I - I will be okay." I say, unsure.
I couldn't promise anything. I couldn't promise I would even come back in one piece or alive. My father was never a patient man, he wouldnt want to chase me for long. He will set people to find me, he would do whatever it took.
I began to cry, thinking of leaving my family.
And Tom.
I missed him.
I wished I was with him. I wished I could be with him right now. In his arms with no fucking worry in the world. I wondered if he was as worried about me as I was about him right now. Would he even care if I died? If we never got to fulfill our plans together?
As I knocked myself out of my thoughts I was cradled in Druella's arms. We both were sobbing together.
"What are you guys doing?"
We both look up at the door. My brother stood staring down at us with a look of bewilderment and confusion.
"Oh - F- fuck o- off." Druella sobs.
He raises his eyebrows, taken aback. "Damn - I thought maybe being the father of your children and all - would make you love me." He said jokingly.
I laugh in between sobs. "Cygnus - shes been playing with you this entire t- time. We are running away to- together." I say, through laughs and gentle sobs.
"Oh - oh wow. Okay. My girlfriend leaving me for my sister - I -" He stutters.
Druella bursts into loud laughter as she falls over on top of me, kicking her legs into the air.
We all end up laughing together.
As we finally settle down and gather our breathing my brother puts on his front of tough guy and straighten his collar. "Violet - I have muggle money for you and wizard money incase you need both." He says strongly as he pulled out a large bag that had an expansion charm on it.
He always was good at composing himself and locking away anything else he was feeling that could potentially made him vulnerable. He learned it from our father.
He handed me the bag as I inspected it. I open it, it seemed like the money would never end. "I - Cyg wher - where did you get all of this?" I ask, still trying to find the bottom of the money bag.
"I just found out dad left the funds to me. Turns out we are incredibly loaded." He says with a blank look on his face but quirking one eyebrow.
I closed the bag and look back up at him. Druella was now clinging to his leg as he stood in the door frame. "Th - thank you." I say as I start to stand up.
"Ella, darling. What are you doing?" He says as he leaned down stroking her hair that was tied into a incredibly messy pony tail. The mascara was stained onto her face.
She looks up at him with puppy dog eyes. "Can you let me do what I need to do!? I am pregnant for the second time for fucks sakes. My emotions are fucking every where and your leg is warm!" She yells and grips tighter.
He looks over at me with a 'help me' look but continued to stroke her hair and apologizing and promising he wouldnt move.
"I should probably leave soon ..." I say nervously as I fiddled with my fingers.
They both look at me with sadness in their eyes. Druella lets go of his leg for a second as he leans over pulling me against his chest and wrapping his arms around my neck.
I wrap my arms around my brothers torso as he towered above me. He pulls away and places a kiss on my forehead.
"Stay safe Violet - I love you. I spoke with Tom and I understand you have a way of communicating with him?" He says as Druella began to stand wobblily. She was crying again but tried to do so quietly so she wouldn't upset us.
I nod and pulled my left sleeve up to my elbow, showing him the mark of the skull and snake. "Yeah - he told me that if I touch it he will come to me." I say as I stroke my forearm where the ink was imbedded. It prickled as I did so.
He nods and backs up a little, pushing his hands into the pockets of his suit pants.
Druella stalks up to me, wrapping her frail arms around my torso and digging her head into my chest as she sobbed. I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and rested my chin on her head.
"I - I - I am going to - to m- miss you s- so much V- Violet." She says through sobs.
I grip her shoulders and she pulls away, wiping her eyes and nose. "We will see each other again... Okay?" I say, not completely sure if it was an empty promise. But I wanted to believe I would see all of them again. She sniffled and nodded.
Cygnus stepped out of the bathroom and out of the room. He came back with Bella asleep in his arms.
Without saying a word he places her in my arms. I cradled her and kissed her forehead, pushing the few strands of hair she had across her head.
"Auntie Violet will come back okay, Bellatrix? I love you. Your auntie loves you so, so much." I say softly, not taking my eyes off of the sleeping baby girl in my arms.
I wiped a few tears from my eyes as I handed her over to Druella.
"Do you want me to walk you out?" My brother asks.
I nod as we walk out of the room and down into the foyer and out into the slightly warm air.
He grips my hand turning me to face him. "Violet - It will all be okay. I will find him before he can find you -"
"What?"
"I am going to kill him."
"Cygnus - you have a child and one on the way - y - you cant just leave them. You cant just leave Druella."
"You're my sister - I have spent my whole life trying to protect you from him. I am not going to let him kill you."
"Cygnus if you fucking leave them - I will never forgive you. If you die I will never forgive you leaving her and your babies. Dont fucking leave this manor. Seriously. I can take care of myself." I demand.
He sighs, "Are you sure?" He asks, letting go of my hand. "I need you to come back Violet." He continues, pain in his voice.
"I - I will try." I say, unsure.
He sniffles subtly.
"Are you crying?" I ask, stifling back a laugh. I didnt know how long it had been since I saw my brother cry.
He dips his down, avoiding eye contact and wiped his eyes subtly. He clears his throat. "N- No what? I - I am not crying."
"Yes you are." I say, smiling and playfully hitting him on the shoulder.
"N- no I'm not." His voice wavered. He pulled me against his chest rapidly. I was so taken aback hearing his now full on sobs.
I stroked his back awkwardly. "Aw your gonna miss me." I say teasingly.
He pulled away and straightened himself up. "Fuck off."
I laughed, "I love you Cygnus."
"I love you too."
As I got ready to apparate I gave my twin one last hug.
I smiled at him. "Goodbye brother." I say, holding back tears.
"No - no, this isn't goodbye Violet. I will see you later. Okay?" He says assuredly.
"Okay. I will see you later."
He gives a wavered smile and I felt a jerk behind my naval cavity as the land distorted and I landed in another field.
Berlin. It was the first place I thought of.
