Chapter 26: Chapter 25 ~ After the disaster (1)

Lightning strikes continued to strike the ship, and the ship turned into many pieces of burning wood floating above the water.

Yet Violet wouldn't stop, so someone had to bring her back to her senses.

Meanwhile, Temari and Flora were running into the village in a crowd of women, away from this storm.

Temari thinks that if she goes to Violet now, she will die, because her dream ended the moment he spoke to Violet.

That's why she tried to change her future, but suddenly Flora stopped running and said;

"No, I can't do this. I have to stop her, she didn't do anything wrong!"

Temari stopped and answered quickly in a calm tone;

"You can try if you want, but I still want to survive. Someone has to cure me of these dreams."

"What dreams are you talking about? Violet saved you from death, the captain would have killed you! But she intervened and that's why you're alive. I have a goal too. But If I hadn't met Violet, I'd still be a slave in that ship. I gotta save her, bye!"

Ignoring Temari's words, Flora ran towards Violet.

The closer she got to her, the more intense the lightning, and random lightning bolts could hit her at any moment.

Tiny sparks of lightning started to cause tiny scratches on Flora's body. Nevertheless, she continued running until she reached the source of the lightning, which was Violet.

The first thing Flora did was slap Violet for the second time in the same day.

The first slap was to wake her up from sleep after she passed out.

The second slap was to stop her from killing people.

"Violet please، open your eyes!"

This slap causes Violet's memories of her father to shatter and fade, and it made her able to see what is in front of her.

Violet sighed slowly and the air that came out of her mouth was white as red drops of sweat slid down her face, the color of the sweat was red because it mixed with the blood on her face.

Violet looked at Flora, who had a look of horror on her face, then Violet turned her head to see what was in the area.

And all around her was ruin and destruction.

"Flora". Violet called Flora's name as she looked sadly at the dead bodies everywhere and then said; "I did this?"

Flora couldn't tell Violet this directly, but Violet already knew this was because of her. She just wanted to hear someone blame her for killing so many people.

But Flora behaved so calmly and so good, that she picked up a brown robe from the land, apparently of one of the dead pirates. And she put it on Violet's shoulders and then hugged her, saying;

"It's so cold here, and your clothes were torn from the start, we have to go somewhere warm. You've been hurt so much. That's why you don't have to think too much, you didn't do anything wrong."

But it seems that Violet was not convinced by these words. She did not kill just the pirates, but there were innocent people who died because of random lightning bolts.

Violet and Flora started walking towards the village, on the path the women had gone.

After the lightning storm ended, the weather returned to normal and small snowballs started falling from the sky.

All the previous events were on the same day, and this day finally came to an end so that the atmosphere became a little dark.

Flora and Violet reached the center of the village, where people were gathering by the fire, dancing and rejoicing in their salvation.

But not everyone was happy, some people were sitting far from that fire and that joy, and they were filled with a sense of sadness for the innocent people who were killed by the pirates.

He who lost someone dear to him was sad, and he who did not lose anyone was dancing with joy. And the series of unfair life continues again.

Violet and Flora walked towards the crowd of women and men gathered around the fire. They cooked food and sang happily.

The reflection of the firelight was visible on Flora's face and Violet's face, Flora's face was somehow looks orange, while Violet's face was crimson due to the blood on her face.

Flora smiled when she saw the people laughing, then turned her face toward Violet and said;

"Violet, look! These people are alive. They're alive only because of you!"

It wasn't just Violet who heard these words, everyone around the fire heard them.

People turned to see Violet, and then someone asked;

"Is this supposed to mean that this girl saved us?"

People gathered around Flora and Violet and each one of them was saying words that Violet could not hear.

Because Violet's gaze was limited to the depressed people behind the scenes.

Some of them were crying and some of them just sat and looked at the ground.

And here Violet realized that her true place was among the depressed people, because she had lost the last member of her family just over an hour earlier.

People have become friendly to Violet and thank her, unlike this morning when no one in the village knew her.

But she was feeling incomplete, as if something was wrong.

Everyone was talking nonstop, happy, excited, but she said in the midst of their joy;

"Where should I go now? Shall I go to the snowy mountain? But my father is not there. I Just don't know who am I anymore..."

Nobody had answers to her questions, and she said immediately after this;

"If you don't have the answers, that means this isn't where I should be."

Violet started walking away from the crowd and Flora called to her but she didn't turn around. and after a few steps, Violet found an old woman in front of her.

Violet looked at the white-haired old woman, and her hair was becoming more beautiful because of the color of the moonlight, her eyes were black and her face wrinkled like any old woman's, and she was smiling as she looked at Violet.

"Do you remember me?"
