Violet was walking to the house where Cornelia and James were; her pace was much slower than she wanted it to be because three kids followed her. Molly, David, and Mia, aged 7, 5, and 4 years, respectively.
If Violet could shift, everything would be much faster, but the youngsters didn't have their first shift yet, so she was stuck to a snail's pace. The little ones would stop on every few steps to look at the butterfly, a bug, or a rock. Everything was interesting.
"Hurry up, or I will leave you behind," Violet grumbled.
The trio was excited to play with Cornelia and James' kids, so they hurried after Violet obediently. As they approached their destination, they heard noise from there…
"Wait! Wait!" Violet shouted after the youngsters, but it was in vain. The three kids heard squeals and giggles from their friends, and they dashed away.
Violet couldn't believe how quickly they ran. "Why did you drag your feet so far?"
