Chapter 166: Voice in the Dark Calls to Her
***AUTHOR’S NOTE: Sorry this Chapter took so long, I’ve been sick, and this is a very big and important Chapter. So, writing it took more time than I expected, let the plot thicken***
The news Arya brought to the tent was soul shattering.
For Violet to hear she’d lose the support of the witches, it seemed to have broken some of the remaining threads of humanity holding Violet together.
Hearing Arya’s words brought a cloud of darkness to Violet, a heavy despairing aura settled inside and around her.
She looked at the remaining people in the tent and her face darkened. Fury wasn’t a mask she wore to hide her pain; it was the very emotion that became her being.
"Get out" She growled. An echo of malice left threads traced along her voice. It made the rooms temperature drop.
At first no one moved, the chill that settled in froze everyone in their place.
"GET OUT!" She screamed so loud the ground and table shook. Thins clattered when they fell over. Wine spilled on to the maps and everyone, but Ash scrambled from the room with a renewed sense of urgency. She kicked back her chair and then flipped the table.
Ash leaned back in the seat looking at her with such fierce love and loyalty. Unphased by her aggression. "Ash please, I need a minute alone."
Ash looked at her puzzled. Questioning if he should respect her request or demand to stay and be there for his queen in her time of need.
"This isn’t a request, I need some time to myself. I can’t face the truth of everything in front of people. The reality that changed. I need air. You can stay; I’ll be back. Don’t follow me." Violet stormed out of the tent. The ground shook a little with each stomp of her foot.
Ash sat and watched as his queen took off in the darkness of the night. A heavy sigh left his mouth the moment she left his field of vision.
