-CLOSE CALL-

Once they arrived at the dock they realized they weren't alone, there where old rusted boats docked and on top of that, visitors.

Marcus stopped the truck turning off the ignition "what do we do?" he asked turning to look at Newt. Newt turned to the sleepy Violet who had a lazy smile on her face as she slept peacefully. "Let's see what they want" Newt muttered turning back to Marcus, Marcus gave a firm nod before they both opened the doors getting out. "Hey guys, missed me?" Tyler asked and he stood with his guys behind him a row of trucks behind them.

"Your not leaving, sorry" he said in fake sympathy, "where's my baby sis, thought she'd be more excited about seeing me alive and well" Tyler spoke glancing behind the duo to there truck. "Oh trust me i feel a lot of things, excitement isn't one of them" Violet said walking in front of the two boys. "Hello brother" she said with a fake smile, "ah the mistress has arrived, you see you guys came here for nothing your not leaving" he said glancing at the group smiling wickedly.

"Yeah? And who's going to stop us you?" Violet asked quirking an eyebrow, Tyler laughed throwing his head back and when he looked back there was a ring of green around his iris. Violet tilted her head as a red ring appeared around her iris, "i want to see you try" she said. "Sister, sister, sister" Tyler tutted as he looked down running his tongue on the inside of his cheek. "You were always stubborn, that will be your downfall" he muttered the last part looking up.

"Give up now Violet, and we can still be family" he said tilting his head, Violet barked a laugh. "You really think we can be family? You'll kill me the first chance you get" Violet said angrily. "You were always self absorbed, i guess that'll be the cause of your death" he muttered before speeding behind her wrapping his arm around her neck.

Violet felt her air began to leave as she couldn't breathe, "your weak" she muttered bringing her arm up and jabbing it into his side. By this point the other guys had began to fight with both Marcus and Newt. Violet quickly turned around as her hand began to glow a faint red, she brought it up tapping her index finger to touch the side of his head. He fell on his knees clutching his head grunting in agony "say the word and it all goes away" she called as she watched her brother on his knees.

"Please..." he said quietly, Violets eyes softened as she lifted the magic. Tyler was panting as he got up before letting a sick laugh, "i pity you sister, really" he said before bringing his arm up making Violet go flying back.

She fell with a thud as she began to hear ringing, she saw Tyler's legs as he stood in front of her. She took the opportunity to knock him off his feet before she laid looking up, kicking her feet up as she landed once again on her legs. She let a small sonic wave which knocked Tyler back even further. "Your not going to win so just give up now" she called as she watched him stand up.

"Look at your friends V, you really think your going to get away" he called as he began to walk closer. Violet began to slowly walk in a circle in order to get away from him. She looked up to see Newt being held by his arms and Marcus on the ground, a gun aimed at his head.

Violet looked back up, "in contrary brother, you can't run this time" she paused taking a deep breath. "Did you really think i believed your story for one second? Mom didn't kick you out, you ran away. As soon as i got sick you got up and left, and hey i'm glad. You know why? because you got your whole crew that looks up to you" Violet began looking into Tyler's eyes.

"You know what i got? I got kidnapped and put in a lab for testing where i was constantly drugged and poised just to see how my body would react. Sometimes they didn't give me the cure till i was inches from death" she paused letting it sink in.

"Then i got out only to watch someone put a bullet through my mothers head, i get it truly. Your broken, your hurt, but you weren't the only one. You didn't have anyone because you pushed everyone away, i didn't have anyone because everyone saw me as a weapon" she stopped as they where now standing in front of each other.

Tyler faltered for a second, "i'm not sorry about this" he whispered quietly which Violet almost missed. He brought his hands up as a green light came running towards Violet, she quickly brought her hand up. She felt the force push her back causing her feet to slide on the dirt. She grunted as she lifted her other hand, a large energy ball created in the middle and it only kept moving towards the less powerful brother.

It was then Violet realized she'd kill Tyler if this continued, "don't make me do this Ty" she called over the wind. "Please" she begged quietly, Tyler was about to give up and let it hit him but Violet beat him to it. She let her hands fall as the energy came crashing to her throwing her back. she was stopped by the truck as she landed hitting her back on the front of it.

She sat clutching her stomach, her breathing growing jagged. Tyler let out a dark laugh as he got closer, crouching down to Violets level. "You'll either come peacefully, or you'll come dead" he spoke with a smile. "Over my dead body" Violet spat as she brought her blood soaked hands up touching Tyler's chest. He was covered with a red glow, he looked down at himself before looking up.

"Whatever you did didn't work" he said unimpressed, Violet lifted her hands letting go of her wound. She felt pain burst through her, at the same time Tyler grunted clutching his abdomen. "I'd say it worked" she said with a smirk as she got up, she numbed the paid as she steadied herself up on the truck. "How can you  not feel it" he grunted as he tried to get up ultimately failing.

"That's the difference between you and me, while you went through mental pain, i went through physical pain" Violet spoke as she quickly brought both hands knocking out the group of guards. She ran past Newt and Marcus yanking there arms in the process. "Shouldn't we at least heal you" Marcus called as they ran to  the nearest boat, "Newt the engine" Violet called as she started working on the anchor.

Eventually Newt wired the engine as it roared with life, the group did a small cheer before they quickly snapped out of it. They quickly put the boat at full speed as they watched the shore slowly get farther and farther away.
