(Thanks a bunch roninbear :D)(Sorry about the wait on this one, I hit a few snags while I was working on it and since it was lacking sex I figured the story should be more interesting. What's wrong with Red Lobster? Lol. Remember like I said the charm protected the whole family, but my dearies there is a bit that you don't know.
Did I actually make Dawson suspicious? He's not a twisted character.
Also I know I've made mistakes here and there but the very small meet up with her family was not a mistake, that was on purpose, I promise I know what I'm doing. :D
Hooray for twisting more creatures..... Also there is no sex in this first half that's why it's so short.)
Violet's POV
It had been easy to cover the layer of anti-itch cream with water proof make up, it made much more sense than trying to avoid A.J. and Stefanos so they wouldn't see the charm's mark. When it was time to leave, Dawson and Micheal played the 'cute' card and said they wanted to spend some quality time with the aunt they never knew. We left without alarming anyone. We stopped at the diner we went to when we first left the mansion while we waited for the sun to go down.
"Dawson you've kept quiet long enough, tell me what we're looking for."
"OK, so you know how uncle Sebastian thought it was weird that everything was practically fine while you were trapped?"
"Yeah.."
"We sort of know why, they told us there was a book we needed to get the full story, it's hard for them to speak as you might have noticed."
By 'they' and 'them' I knew he was talking about those odd puff ball like creatures, I frowned.
"A book? Like a spell book?"
Dawson nodded.
"But with this book there is more than one. Because of what created it, the first copy was easy to find, the second one was buried."
"How do you know we aren't walking into a trap?"
"We weren't raised by humans."
I frowned.
"He means, we can smell a lie and they were telling the truth. We have to find that book and fill in the blanks on the information we know." Micheal said.
I nodded.
"Fine, but why didn't they approach everyone?"
"Simply because too many people would attract attention." Dawson said.
........
When it got dark we went through the forest, we stepped over fallen trunks, rocks, and puddles. When we got a bit closer to the mansion Dawson motioned for us to walk around until we got to the stables. I was glad I had worn tennis shoes, I'd almost grabbed my flats. I bumped into something hard and my first thought was that it was a tree, I looked up and saw a large blue creature. He had a single eye, a set of horns, tusks and large three fingered hands and feet. I wasn't sure what the thing was. I looked down as Micheal came back.
"Don't be scared, he's an imp. He won't hurt you."
"This is not an imp...they're smaller....aren't they?"
"Actually his father is a cyclops and he's huge, this is small for him."
The imp hybrid patted me on the head and moved out of the way, I smiled at him and Micheal grabbed my hand and tugged me toward Dawson.
We moved through the forest quickly and when we got to the stables, there were still a few lights on. We would have to wait before we moved. I looked up toward the windows and saw Penelope in her bedroom. She was walking in circles mimicking the movement of an old fashioned zombie. She stopped and moved away from the window, toward her bed I assume. That was weird.
....
As soon as no one close was paying attention, we hurried to the stable and walked inside. The horses were asleep. We stopped by an empty stall and Dawson pushed open the gate then brushed the hay aside revealing a simple trap door under it.
"How long has that been there?"
"A while, when they told us it was here they said you would be on your way here and we were supposed to wait for you. I think they picked you because uncle Sebastian was already watching over everyone, and they didn't want us to go alone."
I nodded and opened the hatch, Dawson went down the ladder first, then Micheal, I went last and closed the door behind us. As we went down it got colder and colder. Once we almost reached the bottom Dawson told me to stop moving. It was wet and slippery, he helped Micheal down then had me come down slowly. It was pitch black, I couldn't see a thing.
"Aunt Vi?"
"Yes Micheal?"
"Open the locket."
I reached in my shirt and opened it, the pearl was bright enough for me to see that we were in a narrow hallway. I looked down and both of their pearls added to the light. We walked away from the ladder and down the path, I reached in my pocket and pulled out a tube of lipstick I marked the walls as we walked.
I wasn't sure how long we had been walking before we stopped, I looked down and saw another trap door, Except this one was built like a large doggie door.
"Are you kidding me?"
"The book was hidden in there, they found the path and showed it to us, they aren't sure who went out of their way to hide it but we'll probably find out." Micheal said.
"Why did we have to come if they knew where it was?"
"They didn't physically come down here, they can't, some kind of field keeps them away they used a magic sprite to come see what they couldn't." Dawson explained.
"But if this person went out of their way to hide this book, wouldn't there be a guard of some kind?"
