//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 - The Journey's End // Story: Violet // by WritingIsDope //------------------------------// Evergreen was sleeping in her bed, but Violet was still wide awake, staring at the ceiling. Violet was waiting for Evergreen to fall asleep, but could now tell that she was. Slowly and very quietly, Violet got out of bed and left the room, then closing the door carefully so to not wake up anypony. The hallway was very dark, and Violet could barely see. Even though it was hard to see anything, Violet walked quietly and slowly along the hallway and kept on going until she could feel a step for the stairs. The floor was very creaky and wooden, so Violet had to be super careful not to wake anyone up. She passed the bedrooms of all the ponies at the home, including Mother Charlotte's room. Violet was the only one awake, as everypony else was fast asleep. At least, that's what Violet thought. Eventually, Violet came across the first step of the staircase, and slowly walked down the stairs. Violet got to the bottom of the stairs, and saw the main door right in front of her. Violet smiled, she remained hopeful, since escape and freedom were staring in her direction. Violet walked up to the door and tried to use her magic to unlock it. Unfortunately, that did not work as Violet's magic had been sealed by the horn ring, and Violet had forgotten. Violet tried to unlock the door by shaking the handle about slowly and carefully, but failed to open the door. Violet saw the window next to the door and figured that she could climb out of it and escape, since all she had to do was simply open it by using the handle. After a bit of struggling, Violet opened the window using the handle, and put her first leg up upon the windowsill. All of a sudden, Violet couldn't move her leg, her whole body was actually covered in a magic auroa. Violet knew who's magic this was, and she knew she was gonna be in deep trouble. Mother Charlotte used her magic to place Violet on the ground, and then close the window, locking it. She glared at Violet angrily. "Sister Violet, care to explain?" Mother Charlotte asked in a severely sharp tone. "I..I was just going to the bathroom Mother Charlotte, I couldn't find it so I-" "LIAR!!!" Mother Charlotte roared at the top of her voice. "I know EXACTLY what you were trying to do! You were going to try and escape!!!" "Mother Charlotte, I SWEAR I wasn't!!!" replied Violet in a very worried tone. "Violet, we'll talk about this when you wake up, you are in HUGE trouble young lady!!" Mother Charlotte shouted, reminding Violet of Cherry. Suddenly, Violet's world went very light and then completely pitch black. She knew what had happened, she'd been knocked out again. Violet awoke in the exact same situation as last time. She was in a cold, dark, rotten cell wearing an itchy, messy, uncomfortable straitjacket. Violet opened her eyes and saw Mother Charlotte standing right in front of her, staring at her coldly, she looked extremely angry. "W-what's going on?" Violet asked. "SILENCE!!" Mother Charlotte yelled. "You're back in your cell that you despised so much, but we're only here because it's your fault." Violet tried to move but had a hard time doing so since she was in her straitjacket, and her bottom hooves were chained to the wall behind her. "There's no point in trying to escape again Violet, this cell is now you're new home." Mother Charlotte explained. Violet gave Mother Charlotte a shocked stare. "You mean, I'm here for good!? But the contract says I'm only here until I'm 25!!" Violet said, raising her voice a little. "The contract ALSO says that if you were to break any of the house rules, then you are to stay here for the rest of your life. You broke 2 rules. Attempted escape, and LYING." Mother Charlotte replied. Violet couldn't believe what she was hearing. She thought that if she was caught trying to escape, she'd be kept in this cell for about a week or something but she'd still be let out when she was 25. Violet wouldn't have attempted to escape if she knew THIS was gonna happen. "Wh-who knows about what I did?" asked Violet. "All of the sisters know of your sins." Mother Charlotte explained. "They are all very, very disappointed in you." Violet sunk her head in shame. She told herself yesterday that she wasn't going to let this place beat her down, but she knew that she couldn't survive being in this cell for the rest of her life without going insane. "Sister Evergreen, you may now enter." announced Mother Charlotte. Evergreen entered the room with a severely disappointed and sad look on her face. Evergreen walked over to Violet slowly and looked at her face. Violet looked up at Evergreen with a sad look on her face. Suddenly, Evergreen punched Violet in the face, and then kicked her body as it lay on the ground. "WHY???!!!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS SISTER VIOLET!!!??? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!!!!???? I THOUGHT I COULD TRUST YOU!!!! MY OWN CLOSE SISTER!!!!" Evergreen screamed, with tears pouring down her eyes. "I'm sorry Sister Evergreen...I'm so so sorry..." Violet said with a body beaten to a pulp. She had a black eye and multiple bruises across her body. "I usually don't tolerate violence of any kind but I will give Sister Evergreen an exception here as I don't blame her for her actions. She knows what's going to happen to both you and her." Mother Charlotte explained, prompting Violet to give a confused expression. "Sister Violet, you and Sister Evergreen will be left in this cell for the rest of your lives. Neither of you will leave this cell until your dying day, you will both be here for a very VERY long time." said Mother Charlotte. "Mother Charlotte, PLEASE don't punish Sister Evergreen, she did nothing wrong, this was all my fault!" Violet tried to explain to her. "One of our house rules is that when a sister performs an act of sin, then their close sister is to receive the same punishment so the sister who performed the bad deed, will truly feel guilty as their close sister who is innocent will receive the exact same punishment as her as well." explained Mother Charlotte. Violet truly couldn't believe what she was hearing. Violet thought that she was in a nightmare, a horrible dream that she couldn't escape out of. "Sister Evergreen, since you didn't try to escape, your punishment will be slightly less harsh than Sister Violet's. Whilst I am enraged at Sister Violet, I am not mad at you in the slightest, I know that this is only house rules, but you will be punished as well since you are the close sister of Sister Violet. Sister Evergreen, you will not be placed in a straitjacket or chained up against the wall like Sister Violet, you will also receive food and water whilst Sister Violet will only receive water." Mother Charlotte continued to explain. "I will be visiting this room twice a day. Once in the morning, and once in the evening. I will give you your nutritional needs and 5 kisses on the forehead to remind you that no matter what you did, I still love you. Sister Violet, I am disgusted at you for attempting to escape and for lying, but you are still my daughter. I still love you and I'm only punishing you for your own good. Sister Violet and Sister Evergreen, I will see you both tonight with your nutritional needs. I love you both with all my heart, my daughters." said Mother Charlotte. Mother Charlotte walked up to Evergreen and gave her a hug and 5 slow, passionate kisses on the forehead. Mother Charlotte then did the same to Violet and then left the room. When leaving the room, Mother Charlotte locked the door tightly so neither of them could escape. "Sister Evergreen, I-" Violet tried to explain. "Sister Violet, words cannot explain how disgusted, enraged, and mad at you I am right now. I don't think I can ever forgive you for what you've done, but I still love you dearly. I'll help you get through this horrible experience. I'll hug you, kiss you, snuggle you, comfort you, give you words of encouragement, and I'll still love you forever and ever. But I will never ever forgive you. I want you to know that..." Evergreen explained. "I know Sister Evergreen, but I'm still sorry..." said Violet. "I know that, and I do believe you're truly sorry and I appreciate the fact that you're apologising and know what you did was incredibly wrong, but I can still never forgive you." Evergreen replied. "Also, I'm really sorry for beating you up, but you did deserve it for what you did. I won't hit you again, I promise. I'll also make sure that you drink your water whenever Mother Charlotte comes into the cell. "Yes, thank you Sister Evergreen.." said Violet, as she sunk her head in shame again. Evergreen walked over to Violet and snuggled up against her body on the floor, giving her many kisses all over her body. On the head, on the lips, on her mane, on the back of her neck, and even all over her straitjacket. "I love you so so much Sister Violet, I'll never stop loving you, and I'll never stop giving you kisses. We need each other through this to survive." Sister Evergreen explained. "Thank you Sister Evergreen..." Violet replied. Evergreen continued to kiss Violet, and would be doing so for a very long time. All Violet could live on now, were water and Evergreen's kisses. It had been 5 years since Violet and Evergreen were locked up in the cell. It had been an incredibly long and tortuous 5 years of complete hell, but they tried their absolute best to remain strong. Violet's front hooves were dead, if Violet were ever to be let out of her straitjacket, she would need to at least be put in casts, possible even but in a wheelchair as she knew that she would no longer be able to walk normally. Evergreen walked around the cell many times and did stretches a lot, Violet would kill to stretch her arms or at least just walk about a little, but being chained up to a wall whilst wearing a straitjacket proved that feat to be impossible. Violet and Evergreen still received 2 visits a day from Mother Charlotte. Evergreen had food, water, and kisses, and Violet had water and kisses. They had gotten used to the ordeal by now and spent most of their time sleeping, playing eye spy, chatting about their lives before moving to the home, and so on. Violet and Evergreen had become closer with each other, knowing each other's deepest darkest secrets, and Violet had come to truly love and care for Evergreen. Also, a few months after being in the cell, Violet and Evergreen decided to get together and became a couple. Evergreen told Violet that she was a closet lesbian who was afraid to tell anyone about it, and Violet told Evergreen that she was bisexual. Evergreen also told Violet that she had a crush on her as soon as she saw her, and Violet thought Evergreen was pretty hot. They then decided to become girlfriends and drop the whole sister act, only pretending to call sisters when Mother Charlotte was around. When they were on their own in the cell, Violet and Evergreen would passionately French kiss each other. Even though they had become a couple, Evergreen still never forgave Violet for what she did all those years ago. Meanwhile, while Violet and Evergreen were locked away, Lulu was on a hunt to try and find Violet. Lulu hadn't heard from Violet after the trip to Las Pegasus, and only a few days after Violet went on her trip, the school was informed on what happened. The school was told that Violet's mother had murdered Race in cold blood after catching him kissing Violet, and that Violet's mother had been arrested. The school was also told that Violet had been moved to a "correctional facility" by her mother, but the school was not told which correctional facility it was. After the whole school was informed of the news, Lulu went under major depression. She knew that she was never going to see her best friend Violet ever again, and Lulu even felt responsible for the death of one of her close friends, Race. Lulu and her mother now both despised Cherry for what she had done, and Lulu's mother no longer considered Cherry her friend. After spending a few years mourning the death of Race and the fact that Violet had been forced into a correctional facility, Lulu finally decided to try and find Violet. Lulu told her mother the plan and her mother was all for it, and allowed Violet to stay at her home. After doing a fair bit of research and detective work, Lulu discovered that Violet was at Mother Charlotte's Home Of Sisterhood and Friendship, was a few miles away from Appleoosa in Southern Equestria. Lulu made a plan to try and get Violet and help her escape from the home. She told her mother the plan and wished her the best of luck, so Lulu packed her bags and set off on her long journey. Lulu got the train from Whinnyapolis station to Appleoosa train station, which was a very long 10 hour journey, Winnyapolis was Northern Equestria and Appleoosa was Southern Equestria. Lulu got off the train at Appleoosa station and then walked 4 miles from the station to Mother Charlotte's home. Lulu walked up to the home and knocked on the door. Lulu's plan was to kindly be let into the home to see Violet, escape from the home with Violet by jumping out of a window, and then running to Appleoosa to get the train back to Whinnyapolis. Lulu thought it was a good plan and was just crazy enough to work. Lulu knocked on the door, she waited for half a minute and then Mother Charlotte answered the door with a big smile on her face. "Oh hello there dearie, are you here to join our home?" Mother Charlotte asked. "Hi there, my name is Lulu. I'm actually here to meet somepony." Lulu replied. "You are? Who are you here to meet?" Mother Charlotte asked. "I'm here to see Violet Blossom. Is she here?" Lulu asked. Mother Charlotte's smile turned into a serious frown. "Sister Violet's busy, don't come here again. Leave now." Mother Charlotte replied in a nasty and harsh tone, then slamming the door shut. Lulu knocked on the door again. She decided to join and then escape with Violet after she found her. Mother Charlotte then answered the door again. "I thought I told you leave." Mother Charlotte announced sternly. "Sorry, I meant to say that I'm here to join." said Lulu, hoping that Mother Charlotte would buy the act. "Oh, that's wonderful! However, before you join, you must pass our initiation." Mother Charlotte informed Lulu as she let her into the home. Once Lulu was let inside, Mother Charlotte directed her into the initiation room, and explained to her about the box trial. Mother Charlotte then locked Lulu into the box, and when finished locking her up, gave her a cold, hard stare. "I'm not as stupid as you think I am you know." said Mother Charlotte. "Sorry?" Lulu replied. "Don't be stupid, girl." replied Mother Charlotte. "I know you're here to try and get Sister Violet out of here, but it's not going to work." Lulu squirmed around, trying to get out of the box, but failed in doing so. "Get me out of this box!" Lulu demanded. "Quiet, girl. You're trespassing onto my property and stealing something of mine, so I legally have the right to murder you." Mother Charlotte explained. Lulu froze as soon as she heard what Mother Charlotte said. "You're going to murder me!? You can't do that, you'll go to prison!!" shrieked Lulu. "But I just explained why I legally can, avoiding any type of prison sentence. I'll probably get questioned by the authorities, but I know that I won't be put into prison." Mother Charlotte explained. Lulu continued fidgeting in the box, trying to get out of it. "Your punishment for trying to steal my daughter is immurement." announced Mother Charlotte. "What's immurement?" Lulu asked. "It means that I'm going to leave you here to die. You'll die of thirst and starvation in a few days. It's going to be a long and tortuous death for you, young one." Mother Charlotte explained, then giving Lulu her trademark forehead kiss. Mother Charlotte then left the room locking the door and turning off the lights, leaving Lulu trapped in a small box in a cold, dark room with no lights. She walked away from the room hearing Lulu's cries and protests, but completely ignored them. 4 days later, Lulu died of thirst and starvation, trapped inside of the small box. Her corpse is still in that room to this day. After dealing with Lulu, Mother Charlotte went straight to the cell. Inside the cell, she saw Evergreen and Violet snuggling with each other. Mother Charlotte then knocked on the door, which prompted Evergreen to move away from Violet. Mother Charlotte then entered the room. "Well played Sister Violet. Well played. I don't know how you did it, but you did it. Thankfully for me though, I sorted her out." Mother Charlotte announced. "What do you mean, Mother Charlotte?" Violet asked. "Ugh, stop playing dumb with me. Your friend "Lulu" came by today, she wanted to get you out of here to try and escape." Mother Charlotte explained. It had been a long time since Violet had heard that name. Lulu. Violet couldn't believe that her best friend tried to come and get her so she could escape. "Where's Lulu!? WHERE IS SHE!!??" Violet shouted. "She's in the initiation room. I've locked her inside of the box, I'm going to leave her there to die of starvation and thirst. I give her 5 days at best before she dies." Mother Charlotte continued to explain. "You monster!!!" Violet shouted. "You didn't have to kill her!! You're just like my mom!!" "Sister Violet, Sister Evergreen, I'm sorry I have to do this, but you leave me no choice. I can't trust you Sister Violet, I can't trust you with anypony." explained Mother Charlotte. "This isn't the first time I've done this, but I need to kill one of my daughters. I'm sorry Sister Evergreen, hopefully you'll descend to a better place." Then, all of a sudden, Mother Charlotte used her magic to murder Evergreen. "NOOOOO!!! EVERGREEN!!!!" Violet screamed, crying over her corpse. "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS, YOU BEAST!!! EVERGREEN DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!!! YOU'RE EXACTLY LIKE MY MOTHER, A COLD BLOODED KILLER!!!!" "I have had ENOUGH of this unacceptable behaviour!!" Mother Charlotte yelled. "Sister Violet, I can't handle you anymore!! I'm just going to leave you in this cell to rot! Nothing can change you!!" Mother Charlotte then left the room and locked the door for good. Violet cried many tears over the corpse of her new partner. Anyone who dated Violet died, it wasn't fair. Life wasn't fair. Violet just laid there for the next few days, crying continuously, expecting death to take her at any moment. Violet finally died 4 days later due to starvation and thirst in her cell. She died lying over the corpse of Evergreen. She was still wearing her straitjacket and was still chained to the wall. Violet had moved on to a better place.
