Violet's P.O.V.

His lips felt like heaven, so soft and sweet that it was beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I wrapped my hands around his neck, feeling jolts of electricity plunging through my entire body, from where my lips were connected to his, right down to my toes. But as the intensity of the kiss increased, Eros wanted more; he demanded entrance, but I decided to tease him a little bit and kept my mouth shut, wanting to see what he would do next.

And being Eros, he quickly became impatient with my games and bit gently on my lower lip, playing dirty in my books. It didn't hurt, but surprised, I gasped, playing right into Eros's hands, and he took the opportunity to explore my mouth intimately. The tingly feeling grew between us, almost surrounding us in our own unbreakable bubble, where it felt like nothing else mattered, and no one but us could ever enter. Our tongues battled for dominance, but of course, Eros won. My hands slid up to his hair, gripping it tightly as the strands tried to slip through my fingers. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me up so we were standing.

Both of us parted, almost at once it seemed, gasping for air. Eros's lips were strawberry red, making them look even more edible than before, and I had to stop myself from pulling him into my arms and continuing what we had started. But as the rational part of my brain started working again, my eyes widened and I froze, trying to figure out what had happened.

I just kissed Eros.

One part of me wanted to celebrate, and let myself be happy for once, whilst the other part was angry. That shouldn't have happened, I tried to argue. But I didn't want to believe that. What will happen now? Will things become awkward between us? Will he think that it was a mistake? I looked at Eros, who was wearing the same shocked expression, and tried not to feel the heartbreak that I was. His face said it all, he obviously thought that it was a mistake, plain and simple.

Grudgingly, I remembered what happened earlier today, between Eros and that girl, and once again tried to argue with myself that it was for the best, even if it didn't feel like it at the moment. My brain was telling me to say it was a mistake, however my heart was screaming at me to kiss him again.

But, I just couldn't follow my heart. I took a step backwards, and stared at him with a hard expression.

"I'm sorry Eros. I didn't mean to do that, it was a mistake."

I apologized, waiting for his reply. From the outside, I looked so calm and collected, that it must have been impossible for him to see that, on the inside, I was screaming at myself.

Eros's face suddenly went hard, making me wonder what he was thinking right now. I knew though, that it couldn't be anything nice, and I braced myself for what he was about to say, as the very look on his face caused my protective instincts to rise full force. But, my relationship with Eros was never one to be predictable, and what came out of his mouth next surprised me.

"Why was it a mistake? Both of us enjoyed it!"

He argued, frustration clear on his features.

"Because we're different! You're a demon, Eros and I'm. A. Witch. We're supposed to hate each other, remember?"

I slapped a hand over my mouth. That wasn't supposed to come out like that.

"I don't care about that. Violet, tell me, what did you feel when we kissed?"

He asked, looking at me intently. I wanted to say that it made me feel amazing, energetic, comfortable, wonderful, incredible, and so many other emotions that I felt as though I could burst! But, I said the opposite. I had to.

"Nothing."

Both of us went silent after that, not knowing what to say or do next.

"You're lying."

I looked up to reply to his statement as convincingly as I could, considering I was actually lying, and realised that Eros had moved to stand right in front of me. As a knee jerk reaction however, I jumped back in surprise, almost falling over the mud beneath my feet, as I had the first time. Eros, noticing my reaction, reached out his hands to steady me automatically, and I looked up to thank him once again.

The words never got past my lips though, as my gaze travelled up his face, and I found his eyes boring into my soul. His eyes held so many emotions that I couldn't understand all of them in such a quick glance, but the one overshadowing them all, was that of confusion. I wanted to comfort him, so badly, and explain why I was saying all of this, but we just wouldn't work out. And then, the greatest emotion we would both be feeling would be pain.

Be strong, Violet. I shook my head and took a step back, pulling his hands off me.

"No, I am not lying. You either take my word for it, or you don't, but this isn't going to happen again."

I stated, trying my hardest to make my voice sound strong too.

"Stop denying it, Violet-"

"Just stop it Eros, please, just stop."

I cursed myself as my voice cracked at the end. How could I act like this wasn't affecting me, when my voice gave me away so easily?

"What we did was wrong! I just want to forget about it."

I stated, walking past Eros.

I don't know why, but I felt disappointed when Eros didn't try to stop me. Because, even though he had tried to argue that it wasn't a mistake, I felt like he didn't care, if he was letting 'us' go that easily. No, there was no 'us', and my silly daydreams during that kiss were just that. Silly, and daydreams. I remembered the movies that I used to watch, where the couple would have a massive fight, but in the end, the guy tries to stop her, and then does something ridiculously cheesy, like telling her he loves her for the first time. But I would give anything to be that cheesy couple today. I guess I should know better than to think my life is a fairy-tale.

I entered the academy and started walking up the halls. On the way to my dorm, people kept on staring at me and I wanted to scream. I wanted to scream out loud at how upset I was, and I wanted to scream at the rude people that had never been taught any manners; 'Oh, enough of it already! You know I'm a princess, so why are you looking. At. Me. Like. That?' But I didn't, and couldn't, since I had to be this so-called 'nice, darling princess' to everyone.

Bullshit. I rolled my eyes, ignoring the whispers and started walking up the stairs.

I gritted my teeth. Damn him for being hot. Damn him for being a demon. Damn him for even existing in this world. Argh! Damn Eros for playing with my emotions. Damn him for kissing me.

I felt like my head was going to explode.

But you were the one that kissed him first.

I rolled my eyes. Well, he's to blame too! I only kissed him because I wasn't thinking straight. An annoying voice in my head kept on singing 'liar, liar, pants on fire', but I ignored it and entered my dorm. I took off my jacket and threw it on the couch, running a hand through my hair. Finally, some peace and quiet!

I didn't know what to feel. My thoughts were all over the place and I needed to sort through them before I went mad. I sat down on the couch, and released a deep sigh, my head in my hands. Didn't I just do this, go over everything I was feeling? Because it sure didn't seem like it, with the amount of emotions pulling me in different directions. Should I be happy about the kiss? Upset about what I had to say after it? Or angry that Eros let me walk away? Frustrated that Eros hadn't realised why I had to say that and not realising it was all a lie?

"You're really stupid, you know that?"

I turned around when I heard Remus's voice. He was leaning against the window sill, in the red shirt he had been wearing when I had last seen him, during my training.

"What?"

What the hell was he talking about? Is this about what had happened between Eros and I earlier? I had a sneaky little feeling it was. Wearily, I got off the couch and went over to where Remus was standing.

"I saw everything, Violet."

He stated, clenching his fists and not looking at me..

"I saw how you kissed him and made him feel like you actually cared about him! Then you left him, alone, staring into space and looking miserable."

"Remus, it's not what you think."

He stared at me, an unreadable expression taking over his face.

"Then what is it, Violet? You kissed him and left!" He exclaimed.

"I know you've been through a lot, but Eros has too. Violet, if you aren't ready for whatever the hell happened out there, then just tell Eros that!"

He said, staring into my eyes. I understood that Remus was worried about what happened, and he should be, since Eros is his best friend. But, he understood things wrong.

"Eros may have seemed a bit cold at first Violet, but trust me when I say this. He's a very sweet guy at heart."

He stated in a calm voice, making me smile slightly. Remus was too sweet for his own good. Any other guy in his place would have started shouting, but he simply explained what he thought, and was now giving me the chance to do the same. Any girl that ended up with Remus would be lucky. Unfortunately for me though, I have my sights set on a certain unattainable demon.

"Do you really think I'm that kind of girl, Remus? I would never do that to anyone. The reason I said that is because I'm not sure if it'll work out between us. I'm scared. He's a demon and I'm a witch." I said softly.

"I know you aren't that type of girl. You're sweet, caring and lovable. You're different from all the other girls I've met, but as his best friend, I have to make sure that you won't play Eros. But, I hardly think you will." He sent me a small smile . I didn't know what to feel about what Remus had said. If I didn't want a relationship with someone, I wouldn't just run away, I would tell them. But I guess what I did wasn't any better. I first kissed Eros, then told him it was a mistake, and then said that I hadn't felt anything. I wasn't that kind of girl, i was worse!

"Well, I have some work to do, so if you'll excuse me, my lady." He said, walking out the door, but not before sending me a wink. Damn prick.

I sighed, shaking my head and went to my room. I threw myself on the bed and stared at the ceiling, thousands of thoughts running through my head. I groaned and slapped my forehead. I'm such a dumb girl!

"You seem troubled."

I looked to my left and saw Bryson leaning against the wall, his arms crossed.

"There's something called knocking, you know!" I snapped.

Bryson cocked an eyebrow in reply, smirking.

"I'm a unique person, V. I have my own rules." He said cockily.

I rolled my eyes. Well, that's Bryson and his ego for you!

"Anyways, I'm hungry."

What an interesting change of subject, right? However, Bryson couldn't have planned it any better if he tried, because at that exact moment, his stomach rumbled. Bryson's face transformed to show his cheeky grin, and I tried not to let my bad mood from earlier drag me down. But I don't think I quite succeeded, as I sent him a dry look over my shoulder. He quickly noticed this and raised his hands up in surrender.

"What? I'm hungry! This hot piece of meat needs something to eat to attract all them ladies."

The usual wink followed this obnoxious comment, and before I even had time to come up with a witty remark in return, I was pulled out of my bed. My warm, comfortable bed where I wanted to stay, and not have to face Eros, or anyone else for that matter, anytime soon. Bryson was a force to be reckoned with though, and he sent me a grin before continuing to strut down the hall, of course with me being pushed along the entire way.

"Come on, I wanna eat."

---

"My finger!"

I jumped up from my seat in fright and looked over at Bryson.

"Violet, kiss the booboo."

He held up his finger that was bleeding and pouted, his face somehow still managing to look attractive, even when he was acting like a five year old. Rolling my eyes, I walked in Bryson's direction to go see the magical cut, that I was sure was another act he was putting on. He seemed to be full of them today, just when I was in the mood for it, not.

Since Bryson was hungry, we decided to make pizza and a salad to go with it. I took on the task of making the pizza, whilst Bryson was in charge of putting together the salad. That suddenly seemed like a bad idea though, as I thought about the sharp knife he would be using. That could only end badly, seeing as he couldn't act serious for more than two seconds, I thought, rolling my eyes at his foolishness.

I looked at Bryson's finger, then at him with a scowl.

"Seriously? Ketchup?"

I asked, raising my eyebrows.

"It was worth a shot."

He grinned, taking a bunch of cucumbers and cutting them.

"Anyways, how was training?"

"Wonderful."

I dryly replied.

"So I take it that Eros was hard on you."

He said, chuckling.

"Wait, you knew about Eros?"

I demanded, putting both of my hands on my hips. Bryson looked like a deer caught in the headlights, and I smirked at the idea of him being scared of me. Yeah, that's right, you better be scared!

"Well yeah, but I wasn't allowed to tell you."

He said, giving me an apologetic smile.

Before I could answer, someone barged into the room and squealed loudly enough for Bryson to quickly cover his ears.

"Violet!"

Well, that's Claudia alright.

I turned around, smiling and before I knew it, both of us were practically hugging the life out of one another.

"I missed you."

Claudia pulled away, a big smile on her face.

"Haha, me too."

From the moment we took a seat, Claudia started talking about what happened to her whilst visiting her parents. Out of all of her blabbering though, the only thing that caught my attention was Claudia talking about two hot twins that she met at the castle.

"Violet, he is so HOT!"

She fanned herself and put on her 'dreamy' face, as she liked to call it. But I knew she was exaggerating, so I decided to tease her a little bit.

"Really? Well, I wanna meet him."

I said, a small smile on my face. I can't wait to see her reaction on this one.

"He's mine."

She said, pointing a finger at me.

"But, you can always date his super sexy brother! I mean, I think hotness runs in the family."

I put my elbow on the table and listened to Claudia chatter about their hotness and what they looked like, nodding occasionally so she could tell that I was listening.

The one that Claudia described as 'one hot piece of ass' was called James and his brother was John, the 'just as hot' one that I was allowed to date. According to Claudia, James had big green eyes and shaggy brown hair, while his brother had puppy dog brown eyes and short brown hair. I wanted to laugh at Claudia. She sounded like a clingy girlfriend, saying that James is hers, but I knew that she was only joking. Well, kind of. She probably really did think he was hers.

"Oh, and you should see their bodies!" She exclaimed.

"Cut!"

Bryson put his hand between us.

"That's enough, Claudia."

Claudia scowled, shooting him a dirty look, but sighed happily and stood up.

"I'm going to take a shower. See you later, Violet."

I shook my head, a smile on my face. Claudia can be crazy at times, but at least I wasn't like that.

"Well, that was interesting."

A voice stated from behind Bryson and I. We both turned around and grinned when we saw Giovanni, leaning against the door Claudia had just left through.

"Yupp, my sister is kinda crazy.."

I shook my head. Claudia just gets carried away sometimes.

"Kinda crazy? She's a maniac! Last time, she was about to crash my car!"

Bryson cried out, making both Giovanni and I laugh.

"Anyways Violet, I need to talk to you about something...alone."

Giovanni said, looking at Bryson as he spoke, who simply rolled his eyes.

"Fine, fine." He held up his hands.

"Oh, and no funny business you two."

He pointed at both of us, eyes full of humor as he watched my reaction to his silly antics. I tried, successfully, to hide it from him, and my face burned up as I glared at Bryson, who only chuckled as he walked out of the room. I swear, some day, I will kick him so hard that he won't be able to walk for a week!

"Well, there's a ball coming up soon in the Witch Kingdom, to celebrate your presence. At the ball, your uncle will introduce you as the official princess and heir of the witch kingdom."

I stood there, shocked.

I didn't know how to reply to that. I didn't know what to think. Oh Gosh! That means I have to wear a dress! Yeah good going, Violet! That's the thing you should be most worried about!

"And a princess should have someone to escort her."

I knew what was coming next.

"So, I was wondering, if I could be the one to do that?"

He finished, looking at me with hopeful eyes. My brain kept screaming NO, but I didn't listen.

"Of course."

Giovanni smiled.

"Phew, I thought someone else had already beaten me to it."

He said, whipping the sweat off his forehead. I knew whom he was referring to, Eros. But I wouldn't let myself think about that, until I was locked up in my room again and I didn't have to keep up appearances as a princess.

Giovanni took my hand in his and gave it a little squeeze, not sensing the emotional instability occurring within me right now.

"I have to go now, I will see you later."

"Bye."
