BENTON HOME

The Next Morning, my Dad and I are working on a jalopy car in the garage.

Well, actually, I'm handing him the tools from his toolbox and he's working on the jalopy car.

"So, how's your class assignments?" My Dad asked me, working under the jalopy car hood.

"It's good. You know me, Dad, good grades." I said to him. "I love you, Dad."

My Dad looks at me, becoming worried. "What is it, Violanthe?"

"I said "I love you". I said to him.

"And I love you too, but something's off. And you're not telling me, your Mom or Boni." My Dad said.

I gently hugs him. And he gently hugs me back.

"Love you Dad." I tell him.

"Love you too, Violet." My Dad said.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL

In the half empty school hallway, I'm sitting on the sofa bench. Cherry slowly walks up to me and sits down beside me and crosses her leg over her leg.

"So, can I asks you a question?" Cherry asked me with a typical smirk on her plum matte lips.

"And knowing that typical smirk on you face, I assume that you want to talk about the kiss between Jonny and Me, right?" I said to her.

"It was the epic "Jiolet" kiss." Cherry said to me.

"How are Spencer and You?" I asked her.

"Don't try to change the subject, Violetquinn." Cherry said.

I slowly walks into the student lounge. The Benton Gang are sitting around on the three seat sofas, chatting with each other.

"Hey, Violet." Sonya said, and becomes worried. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm fine." I said, sitting down in the armchair. "I love you guys, I really do."

"We love you too, Violet." Jonny said.

"Even me, surely." Cherry said.

"Aww, Cherry, that's so sweet." I said to her, playfully teasing her a bit.

Cherry rolls her eyes, annoyed, but smiles a little bit.

"Hey, guys." Maggie said, slowly walking inside the student lounge, and looks at me. "Can we talk, V?"

"Yeah, sure." I said.

Maggie and I slowly walks into the half empty school hallway.

"Maggie?" I said.

"What the hell are you thinking? I'm not gonna let you sacrifice yourself. And I'm pretty damn sure, the guys will be worried." Maggie said.

"Maggie, please?" I said to her.

"Yeah, sure. But I also need your help with something." Maggie said.

"Okay, what is it?" I asked.

SPECIAL AGENT OPS FIELD OFFICE

Maggie has told me about a female psychotic serial killer named The DollFace.

And on the bulletin board, Maggie has put some sticky notes about The DollFace.

"What do you know about The DollFace?" I asked Maggie.

"So, far, The DollFace is a female with blonde hair with a psychotic behavior. She was committed into the Arrington Asylum for maiming her murderous prey and for carving "DF" on the forehead." Maggie said.

"That sounds gross." I said, with a disgusted look on my face.

"Yeah. I know." Maggie said. "So, how's Boni and The Cobras?"

"Boni has her hands quite full with Trina and The Scullies." I said to her.

"What, exactly, does Eleanor Reese wants from you, Violet?" Maggie asked me.

"Eleanor wants me to embrace my inner darkness. She went after my Mom and Cherry, she even went after Miss. Bergstine, who else is she gonna go after?" I said to Maggie.

"I don't know, V. But like you said, Eleanor Reese studied you, and she knows who you are. And from what you told me about a bubble map, she has one on you." Maggie said.

"Maggie's right." Meredith said, slowly walking into the main room with a folded construction paper in her hand. "Eleanor Reese does have a bubble map on you."

Maggie and I exchange looks at each other. And Meredith slowly walks over to the bulletin board with Eleanor Reese on it and unfolds the construction paper and pins it on Eleanor Reese bulletin board.

Maggie, Meredith and I exchange worried looks at each other.

It's a bubble map with a picture of Me in the middle and the Benton Gang. My Mom, Cherry, and Aaron, has an red 'X' on their faces.

"Oh my gosh." Maggie said.

✧✧✧

I'm sitting on the sofa as The Benton Gang walks down the stairs and into the main room.

"What's up?" Jonny said.

"Eleanor Reese has a bubble map on me." I tell them.

Matt glances at the bubble map with the picture of me and the guys. "You were right, Violet."

"It was something that Eleanor Reese said to me, about having heart attachments." I said.

"And so, you're worried that Eleanor Reese will use us as leverage to get what she wants?" Aaron said.

"Eleanor Reese doesn't give a damn about leverage, okay?" I said, looking at the Benton Gang and Maggie. "Eleanor Reese can't be threatened, or she can't be reasonable with. She just wants to see this small town Arrington fall. And this is complete bull-crap. So, yeah, I'm not gonna be okay until I see Eleanor Reese's dead body." with a dark look in my eyes.

"Do you even hear yourself, Violet? You're sound like a teenage monster." Jonny said.

"Maybe, I am." I said to Jonny, and realize what I just said, and becomes worried. "I'm sorry."

"Violet?" Ava said, sitting on the sofa beside me. "You're not a monster. You could never be a monster. You're a good person."

"I'm not a good person, Ava. And I'm not even a Sweetheart. I'm just a 17 year old teenage girl with a psychopathic arch-nemesis." I said.

"Violet, you saved me from the swimming hole. And yes, I get annoyed when you try to become a Heroic Knight, but you are a good person." Cherry said. "And by the way, I still have your Scooby-Doo photos as well."

"So, maybe, you can use the photos against Eleanor Reese and puts her back at the Arrington Asylum." Aaron said.

"If it works." Jonny said.

"Yeah. Maybe." I said.
