Chapter 41: Violet

Violet fears losing track of time during her stay at the cottage, where the usual daily markers are absent.
She spends her days in the garden and feels a sense of almost freedom, which is interrupted by the realities that she faces.
Violet clings to Morg’s feather at night and dreams of her mother, Elizabeth Weyward, whose name gives her strength and empowers her to endure her struggles.
On the fifth day, strong winds shake the cottage, causing the trees and leaves to dance wildly.
She strains a mixture in the kitchen, separating a golden liquid from decayed petals, which she intends to drink later in bed.
The liquid is bitter and causes her eyes to water, but she consumes it before lying down to endure the ensuing pain.
She experiences intense internal pain, which initially resembles menstrual cramps but then escalates beyond control.
As the pain becomes overwhelming, accompanied by the sounds of the storm and a branch hitting the roof, Violet feels a forceful release within her.
Violet is astonished by the bright color of the blood that flows from her, comparing it to magic.
The chapter concludes with Violet losing consciousness after enduring a wave of pain and bleeding.
