"Coward!" I screamed as I entered the mansion. "Come face me and finish off what you started."

"Who's the coward?" I heard above me. "You're the one that has brought more people! It's not fair!"

I huffed as I realised Xavier was just as childish as he always had been. "Xavier, you had dozens of men fight us, as well as giving them the ability to bend. How am I not being fair?" I shouted as I ascended the stairs, following his voice.

"It's not a game, Xavier." I panted, running down the hall as checked all the rooms for him. "You're threatening to turn over the world."

"It's all mum and dad's idea!" Xavier's voice sounded from behind me, making me turn around swiftly to freeze him in ice. I frowned as I questioned why that had been so easy.

"Talking about them." I started slowly as Xavier stared blankly at me. "Where are they?" I questioned as a smile slowly started to creep onto Xavier's face.

"I don't know." He shrugged, though it was clear he was mocking me.

"Xavier." I warned, lowering my voice.

He chuckled. "Oh, Bella." He paused again to sigh dramatically. "If only you knew."

I swallowed harshly as I tried to contain myself. "Tell. Me. Where. They. Are." I hissed between my teeth.

Xavier stared at me for a while before releasing another big sigh. "Well not here, obviously."

I don't know what it was, but his nonchalance made me see red. As I focused on his face, I thought about the time he bullied, hurt and beat me, never gave a shit about me. I thought about the ones I loved, how he had taken them away from me and how they were somewhere I didn't know. Maybe they were in pain, maybe they were dead, all because of him.

"Isabelle?" Xavier questioned with a strange voice as he stared at me with wide eyes. It almost didn't seem his as it was so thin and shaky.

I chose to ignore it, as well as the fact I was now hovering above the floor, creating airwaves around me. The only thing I could focus on was the anger and sadness within me, taking me over at the same speed adrenaline fills one's body.

Before I could stop myself, I focused all my energy on the area of Xavier's head, removing all air and oxygen, creating a vacuum. This caused Xavier to choke in silence, since the vacuum prevented the sound from travelling to my ears.

I didn't care he was dying. He deserved it.

"Gabi, no!" I heard behind me. It came from a familiar voice, it almost felt like home, but I couldn't place it. "Gabi, it's ok." The same voice spoke to me, though now the person stood closer, right next to me. "He can't go anywhere. We need him to tell us where your parents are."

Slowly, I turned my head to the right to look into Jungkook's eyes. I blinked through my tears as the anger and sadness made place for another, less painful emotion.

"Jungkook." I whispered as I came down again, falling into his arms as Xavier started gasping for breath violently.

"It's ok." Jungkook whispered in my hair as he held me tight to his chest, which was heaving almost as heavy as mine.

We slowly directed our attention again to Xavier, who still had a blue colour to his face. Be it from the cold ice or from the lack of oxygen a couple of minutes ago.

"Y-you" He rasped. "You al-almost k-k-killed me." He stuttered in disbelief as he stared at me with wide eyes.

"Exactly, almost." I narrowed my eyes at him. "But I could easily do so again."

Xavier pouted his lips before a small smile crept onto his face again. "Your forgetting one thing though, sweet Bella." He smirked. "I can still fire bend myself out of this." He shouted quickly before tensing up his muscles, though nothing happened.

He frowned as his mouth twisted in concentration as he tried it again.

I started laughing as Jungkook stared at me with his eyebrows reaching for his hairline.

"What is this?" Xavier huffed. "I took the anti-dote, the gas can't take the bending away from me!" He shouted as he stared at me in anger.

"No." I quipped, the smile never leaving my face. "But I can." I winked before taking a bow. "Comes with the avatar package." I spoke gleefully as Jungkook clapped his hands together in disbelief.

"That's so awesome noona!" He grinned.

Xavier stiffened as my face turned serious again. "So, sweet Xavier." I mocked him "If you want to live, tell me where our parents are and what they're up to."
