The Gentle Maiden and Five Lustful Brothers-Chapter 52: another school day another fight

Ash walked back to the dining room fuming. His anger radiated off him bringing a murderous aura. Everyone in the room quieted, no one wanted to trigger Ash. When he was like this he was unpredictable and dangerous. Walking on eggshells was necessary to survive in times like these.

No one spoke the rest of breakfast until Gabriel was departing. "Remember Violet’s birthday is this coming weekend, I hope you guys have been preparing?"

"Yes, I’ve been handling the details with your secretary and the planner." Jeremy answered.

"I’d totally forgot, with the concerto last night!" Violet yelled her mouth left gaping open. Quickly converting it she says "Oh, shoot, I haven’t even texted my friends."

"What have you done?" Ash asked skeptical of any progress.

"I’ve invited my classmates. Umm... I’ve thought about food and um... my cake flavor." Violet paused "Oh! And my theme!"

"Okay, and what’s the theme?" Ash grumbled groping impatient.

"Valentines!" Violet clapped her hands excitedly. Her smile was wide stretching all the way to her ears. The epitome of purity.

"Why?" Oliver asked he was very curious. "Like a bunch of Cupid shit?"

"No. It’s an important day for two reasons. A man who died a martyr and it’s one of the bloodiest gang wars in history in America. A mass shooting." Violet’s smile became very devious "It’s a very bloody day." Violet kept her smile but tapped her fingers tip together in, one finger at a time. She looked menacing and full of trouble.

"Actually. Knowing you now. That makes 100% sense," Ash said.

"I think that’s a great idea I likeeee it." Rosa praised "Good thinking mi hija"

"I’ll tell the planner." Jeremy said with his classic deep monotone voice.

"You, actually planning?" Rosa’s interested were peeked.

"Awe, are you speaking to me again?" Jeremy was being snarky. novelbuddy.cσ๓

"If you want to call a question speaking to you, then sure, can’t you answer it?" Rosa mocked

"It is you are speaking to me to ask me a question." Jeremy was toying with her for

ignoring him after last night.

"Can you just answer the question your really annoying." Rosa rolled her eyes.

"Yes I am working with the planner, I’ll have you know I am the most organized member of this family." Jeremy sounded aggravated now.

"Gosh, do I love interrupting what ever this is, but we’re gonna be late if we don’t leave soon." Oliver made them stop the conversation.

"Let’s go, we’ll talk at lunch." Ash said getting up from the table first.

The rest of them follow and collect their things, heading toward the limo car. Rosa and Violet sitting next to each other, Ash on Violet’s other side, Oliver and Jeremy were sitting across from them.

"This will be exciting, everyone is going to be asking questions and staring when I get out of the car with you guys." Rosa was trying to act like she wasn’t nervous, but she was, she already dealt with a lot of unnecessary stares and remarks, and she really didn’t want anymore circling, Rosa even contemplated having them drop her off a block away.

"Absolutely not." Violet answered giving her a stern and serious stare.

The rest of the room quieted and stared at Violet and Rosa.

"What’s with that." Oliver feeling suspicious of Violet and Rosa.

"What?" Violet asked innocently.

"You know what." Oliver said peering at them.

"I can sense thoughts." .

"What the fuck?" Oliver was shocked and impressed. "Since when?"

"Since like last night. Before the concert." Violet confessed.

"Explain," Oliver demanded.

"I can just sense thoughts and sometimes it happens randomly on it’s own. I don’t even notice it. It’s just there as if you’re talking to me." I explained.

"Any other species or just vampires?" Oliver has never heard of an ability like this, and understood why they kept it a secret.

"Shut up, discuss it after school." Ash snapped.

"Beware, this one bites today." Oliver pretended to whisper.

"Oliver don’t fucking push me, or I’ll take it out on you." Ash growled.

"Ash, can you hold my hand?" Violet glanced up with a pitiful smile.

Rolling his eyes he grabs Violet’s hand and looks out the window.

"I’ll text my friends from my old school in the morning. And I’ll make a list of things I want and like for the planner and give it to your in the early morning." Violet told Jeremy.

The rest of the car ride was silent they stopped by Rosa’s house on the way to school, barely making it to class on time.

Since starting this school, people have grown used to her presence, so they stopped staring as often. The boys at school knew better now than to approach Violet. The wolves were minding their own business, at least on campus.

The more magic using human classmates had taken an interest in her because their elected beauty, Arya, was friends with her. And if Violet was good enough for Arya, than she was good enough for them.

During free period today Rosa and Violet would be in the courtyard. It was a night with clear skies and bright stars. The professor thought it would be good to get some fresh air.

This class was mainly humans, witches wizards, there were some weaker wolf shifters and half vampire bastards. The class used to include strong night citizens but after Violet’s attack and the death of those wolf boys, they thought with Violet not having the brothers that a class without stronger shifters and vampires would be better and it would probably benefit the more outcasted members of the student body.

"Alright class its free period, but were outside today because it’s a nice fall night, so please enjoy yourselves." The professor just sat on one of the benches and pulled out her newest book.

"And that would be why you were easily attacked by wolves." Rosa said her head gesturing to the professor.

"Ya know I feel the same way about her." A little weak shifter appeared behind Violet and Rosa.

"Shit, you scared me half to death." Rosa said clutching her chest. "How were you able to sneak up on us like that?"

"Sorry, quiet is how weak wolves survive. Being unseen and unnoticed is a speciality." The wolf girl said.

"So you think she’s lazy too? Maybe that’s why she works the free periods." Rosa suggested.

"Yes, she makes this my most boring class. And I’ve seen how there’s always something

interesting going on in your circle, if I join maybe it won’t be so boring here." The wolf girl said.

"I’m Violet and that’s Rosa, nice to meet you." Violet introduced herself and held out a hand to shake.

"Gabby" She violently shakes Violet’s hand making her wobble.

Violet laughed.

Sitting together the remainder of class they chatted until they heard a loud commotion coming from the second floor.

"I’m going to kill you, fucking rat dog." Ash could be heard yelling across the school grounds.

"Oh shoot. That’s Ash, I’ve got to run, let’s talk after lunch tomorrow?" Violet said quickly gathering her things.

"Professor I have to go, I’ll see you tomorrow, sorry for leaving early." Violet yelled running out of the courtyard toward the school building.

The professor just shrugged it off and continued reading.

Rushing through the building and up the stairs. Violet stumbled a couple times trying to avoid a collision. Making it to the second floor as fast as possible. Ash has someone by the neck and he slams him to the ground, breaking a few ribs, his eyes were glowing red, the muscles on his face flexed displaying his disgust. Ash, now standing over standing over him, started kicking him in the stomach. Blood spurt from the guys mouth, leaving down, he starts punching the guys face in. His fist quickly became bloody. He grabs the sides of the guys head and slams it on the floor. Again. And again.

The guy whimpers with each slam.

"I told you to shut your stupid fucking mouth, and you didn’t and now look you’re face looks like ground beef. Idiot." Ash growled. "Don’t talk about her like that again or I really will fucking kill you." Ash stands up kicking him one more time in the stomach and spiting on him.

After he gets to his feet he looks and see’s Violet staring at him her eyes and mouth gaping, fear had paralyzed her. She’d completely forgotten about Ash’s volatile and violent side. Seeing his power and ruthlessness scared her, she began shaking, tears streamed from the corners of her eyes as she watched the guy bleed out on the floor behind him.

Ash was unsure whether to approach her or stay put, he hadn’t noticed all the eyes that were now on him. It started to make him uncomfortable.

"Someone grab this kid and the rest of you get the fuck out." Ash growled loudly. Everyone immediately dispersed not wanting to anger him further.

Once the shock wore off, Violet took a deep breath and walked toward Ash. Standing in front of him he stared into her eyes, he was stuck, she had him trapped in the hallway unable to move.

And then she hugged him.
