Music Recommended : Lost Without You - Freya Ridings.
-------------------
Alaric was going to die.
Violet didn't just see it on his face, no, she felt it tearing through the bond like a chasm opening in her chest. It was the same hollow feeling Alice had shown her in the vision, except now it wasn't some nightmare. It was real, and it was happening.
"No!" Violet screamed, clutching him tighter as though her arms alone could hold him here. His grip was loosening, slipping like sand between her fingers. Panic strangled her voice as she shook him. "No, no, no, you stay with me!"
Her throat burned as she threw her head back, her cry ripping into the sky. "You will not take him!" Her voice cracked but she roared anyway, a fury only grief could birth. "Do you hear me? If you're up there, if you can hear me, do something! You cannot give him to me only to rip him away. I refuse it! You will not take him!"
