“You’re…”Beautiful? Terrifying? Powerful? Fucking incredible?No, none of that was good enough. So what did I go for?
“Holy shit.”Good one.
Violet’s flames flickered out, eyes back to her usual blue, and she smiled. A real fucking grin. Not the half ones she’d been giving me. Fuck me, I’d do anything to make sure it stayed in place. Literally anything.
“Pick your jaw up off the floor, Blondie. I’m not done yet.”
I hadn’t even realized the expression on my face. I snapped my mouth shut. “Sorry, I just… Fuck baby, you’re incredible.”
Her soft chuckle was music to my fucking ears. “I’m just getting warmed up.”
She strode by me with a playful glint in her eyes and her head held high, pausing for a brief second to squeeze my hand before she crouched in front of Traitor Bitch—who was trying to get to her feet, still gasping for air.
Violet hummed, eyes trailing over her old friend slowly, disgust growing on her face.
“Amber, Amber, Amber.” She shook her head. “You did all this because you wanted Shit Fucker’s attention, andI’mthe pathetic one? Look in the fucking mirror, you crazy bitch.”
Dr. Traitor laughed—tried to at least, she went into a coughing fit instead. “I didn’t want shit from him. I did it because I hate you. Your perfect fucking life, your two loving parents, happy and smiley Violet. Always fucking perfect. It was alwaysyou should be more like Violet. I’m a fucking doctor and still my parents looked at you as an example.”
Fuck, my wifenailedthe maniacal laughter. The perfect pitch, the perfect length of time, like she was born for this.
“That’s even worse. Awe, poor little Amber, Mummy and Daddy didn’t love you and you thought that was my fault?” She scoffed. “It couldn’t possibly because you’re unlovable. Because you acted like a spoiled and entitled bitch every waking moment of your life. Because you always wanted more than what you were given. God, look at yourself: so weak. You can’t even get up off the ground.”
Violet paused, tilting her head. Her sadistic grin grew with each second her ex-friend spent trying to get up. It almost seemed like there was an invisible weight that was pinning her to the stone. I snuck a glance at the witch, wondering if she wasbehind it, but she wasn’t looking at Bitch Face. No, her eyes were glued on Violet, watching my wife with growing curiosity.
“What’s the matter, Friend? Nothing to say? Hm?”
Violet watched her friend open and close her mouth three times before that evil laugh came back. Fuck me. This was not the time or the place to be horny.You need to calm the fuck down, I said to myself several times before my dick remembered we were in fucking danger.
“You know, I should really thank you. I’d been trying to trigger my powers for months, but it was you. Seeing you tossed into the room, realizing my best friend was a traitorous bitch—that was all it took to light my fire. But that’s not all. Do you want to see what else I can do?”
Fuck yeah, I did. Holy shit, evil Violet was the hottest thing I’d ever laid eyes on.Give me all you got, baby.
“Seeing as you can’t talk, I suppose you don’t have a choice.”
Violet’s eyes sparkled as Amber’s face started turning red. Her mouth kept opening and closing like she was trying to gulp down air but there was none. Her body started convulsing as she clawed at Violet. Her eyes were pleading for air but my wife just watched.
“It’s not fun, is it? Struggling to breathe? You know, it’s worse with water. There’s always this little piece of you wondering if all the water is out of your lungs. Dry drowning is a real problem. But you weren’t thinking about that when you watched them hold me down yesterday, were you?”
Bitch’s eyes filled with relief for a second as she gasped in air. It was short lived, quickly returning to terror when water started pouring out of her mouth. She choked and sputtered and clawed at her throat to breathe, but Violet was unrelenting.
“Do you think your parents will miss you when you’re dead? Maybe, but they love me like a daughter. They would probablybe happy if I took your place. Finally a daughter they can be proud of.”
Jesus fucking Christ. My wife was fucking evil.
I was the luckiest man in the world.
“After all, I think it’s only fair, considering you helped Fuck Face kill my parents. Isn’t that right?”
The doctor shook her head furiously, panic in her eyes. Violet’s head tilted and the water vanished.
“I didn’t. I swear to god, I didn’t help him. I didn’t even know,” Amber gasped out between gulps of air. “I’d never hurt them.”
“No? You just wanted to hurt me?”
“I wanted something you didn’t have! For once in my life I wanted something you didn’t have. Power—not literally but the kind I could get from Chris’ influence. He wanted you broken, serving him, and I thought I could finally have something you didn’t. I swear to god I didn’t know about your parents. I never would have gone along with that.”
“I believe you,” Violet said softly, brushing the hair from her old friend’s face so tenderly that I might have believed there was love behind it. “But I don’t care.”
