Z POV:

It was the day of the War.
The sky was filled with black and crimson.
Ashes and debris from fire hung in the air, clinging to our clothes and bare skin, stinging and scorching what little skin we had exposed.

"Evan Vanoss."

Ken.

He stood up tall now, his crossbow armed over his back.
Jack was behind him, Mark and Minx flanking.

"Firehawk." Tyler spit out with as much poison in his tone as he could manage.

"BBS." Minx looked at me as she said that, but she wasn't alone.
It seemed as if their whole team had eyes on me.

I shot their leader.

I started this War.

And I'd kill us all.

"We took defence." Craig told them.
"You shot our leader IN THE HEAD." Mark spit.
"YOU KILLED CALIBRE!" Daithi screamed.
"Those were Ketamine darts." Nogla told them.
"You shot us. SHE shot us. She caused this imbalance." Minx aimed at me.
"You killed my partner." I said, calmly, looking at Jack.
"He shot my partner. The next generation of our gang is gone. Our next gang will not function without a leader." I accused.
"You could have worked this out." Jack said to me.
"Worked this out? You approached my group and from the way I saw it, you challenged us. We were to put you asleep. But you killed Calibre. He's dead. All because of you." I growled at Jack.
He gritted his teeth.
"Even if this War doesn't take place, I will kill you. You WILL NOT live on for this. I will avenge my dead partner. You've broken a supreme bond. And you will suffer," I said to Jack, looking in his eyes while mine turned red, "And you will die. A cruel, painful death."
"I don't think so."
Pewdiepie.
I turned around.

"TRAITOR!" I screamed, almost crying.

Ohm had Evan.
Pewdiepie had tied up Nogla.
Bryce took Tanner and knocked out Delirious.
Nanners had tied Tyler and Craig up together, back to back.
MattShea and Kpopp was beside Nanners and Whiteboy7thst was beside Delirious.
"Z, you didn't possibly think you'd win this war, did you?" Luca asked me, and I now felt a gun against my back.
I closed my eyes and opened them now, looking up towards the sky.
"I did, I really did, Luca."
"You can't go against us and expect us to ally." She whispered.
I now let my choked sobs escape my mouth.
"No, Luca. Please."
I couldn't stop it.
"Don't worry, we won't kill you. Yet." She said.
The teams surrounded us.
The ones we'd exiled over the years.
Moo, Luke, and Ohm... Ohm had been exiled, and Droidd had been ordered to schedule visitation if he wanted to see us at all.
They'd all turned their backs.
"Let's start from least favorite to greatest favorite." Luca whispered.
I started sobbing louder.
"No! STOP! PLEASE!" I screamed.
Jack had put his hand over my mouth and my hands behind my back, hurting me.
"Let's start. Least favorite? Tyler right?" Luca handed Nanners, my previous student, the one I trusted someone well, a gun.
He pointed it at Ty's head, and Tyler looked at me, his eyes full of sorrow and pain and misery and I screamed for him.
"NO! PLEASE LET HIM GO!" I begged.
"NOO! NO! DON'T HURT HIM!  YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT, I'LL KILL YOU!" Mini yelled to the top of his lungs his eyes sobbing as well.
I tried to kick but I was held in place.
Tyler closed his eyes and I didn't turn around in time to see the blood splatter on all of us.
I screeched and tears flew down my cheeks.
"TYLER!" my lungs burnt.
My throat scorched and my heart broke.
"TYLLERRRRR! OH MY GOD, NO! TYLER!!!!" Mini screeched, kicking and sobbing and trying to get out of their grasps.
"Next. Let's do Nogla."
Daithi looked up and smiled, tears streaming down.
"David!!!" I yelled.
"Don't scream Z. I'll get to see him." He beamed of joy.
"NO!! DAITHI! STOP!!!" I yelled.
"I'll tell him you said hi." He whispered.
BANG!
"OH MY GOD, NO!!! MY CHILDREN!!!" Tanner was on the ground now, her hair sticking to her face that was now red, her eyes runny and red as well.
He was on the ground now, his eyes closed.
"Delirious." Luca smiled.
"If you touch him, I'll haunt you and make you miserable for all eternity. I'll make you suffer and want to die forever. You'll burn from the inside out. You and everything you've ever known will never have existed." Evan spit at her.
"Sorry, not sorry."
Two guys picked him up and set him on a pile of ash.
"What are you doing." Evan demanded.
"You and Delirious are the Supreme Bond of this gang. You two leaders are what makes this partnership and family exist," Luca grinned.
"That means that he has to burn. You burn the two Head Leaders. And then his little spirit would fly into the sky like a beautiful angel." she smirked, sarcastically.
Evan sneered at her.
"Rot in hell, you repulsive, ignorant, nasty, rotten ass, evil motherfucking bitch!" He screamed.
Delirious's body lit up in flames and Evan started out, blankly. Not moving.
He was paralyzed by grief.
He had nothing left to live for.
He was completely and utterly empty.
He took the gun from Pewdiepie and put it in his mouth.
Luckily, I turned around quickly enough this time.
The only thing I saw was his body combusting.
"They died together, burning," Jack sneered.
"How romantic."
A feeling washed over me like no other.
It was as if I were on fire.
My body remained intact, but everything I'd ever been and ever would be was now gone.
My family was dead.
I looked up into the sky and screeched, something I did when I was little.
That was how Tanner had heard me.
She heard my scream and came to me.
She wrapped me up in a blanket, picked me up, and tooken me home.
I took Tyler's abuse for a little while and she'd always stand up for me.
There were times where Daithi would want to toss me on the streets, (he wouldn't ever dream of doing that anymore,) and she'd be there, reasoning with Evan and his soulmate, Jonathan.
As long as she stayed, I did, too.
And she was next to die.
Tanner looked up at me, barely conscious, and smiled.
"Mommy." I whispered, crying.
"I love you." She said.
"NO!"
A gun was right next to her neck.
Then her blood was on me.
I screamed the longest, loudest scream I could ever imagine.
I threw myself backwards and kicked Luca in the kidneys, pouncing on her and punching her, countless punches landing all over her, her air whooshing out of my lungs.
I ripped the cloth bandana tied around me out of anger and pulled it around her neck.
I closed it tighter and tighter, not paying attention to the endless number of people trying to get me off of her.
I choked her until she bled from her mouth and her face turned blue and purple.
I pushed people off of me and grabbed a knife, slitting a throat or two.
I wouldn't go down without a fight.
This was for Tanner.
Eventually I was overtaken, regardless of my struggling, and I received a hard bang to the head, my mind going blank, my head going almost impossibly numb to where I couldn't move.
I was paralyzed.
"Mini's up." Pewdiepie continued, ignoring Luca's sudden absence.
"I'LL KILL YOU ALL! I DON'T DESERVE TO DIE LIKE THIS!" I screamed.
"Oh, honey, you won't die, that's the thing." Minx grinned.
Mini looked at me, in terror.
"What are you doing to her?" He asked.
I had gone completely still, terrified.
"She's going to live with this for the rest of her life. She's going to know that her family died because of her stupid self. She's going to work for us." Jack grinned.
"NO! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! KILL ME! PLEASE!" I sobbed even more.
"YOU CAN'T TAKE HER!" Craig screamed.
"PLEASE!" I yelled.
Mark smiled and shook his head.
"Mini, your turn."
He looked down at the ground and his last few tears fell faster than bullets.
"May I see the gun? I want to do it myself."
I closed my eyes again.
"Mini, no. Please." I cried.
"Z, I love you.  You were always like a sister to me, and I know Tyler would say the s-"
"GET ON WITH IT." Jack demanded.
"You're not taking Z." Mini cried, figeting with the gun.
"She doesn't deserve to live like this."
"She got what she deserved." Minx said, making sure everyone had a gun aimed in Mini in case he broke his word.
"You're not taking her." He repeated, looking up, crying.
"Yes we will." Jack said.
"On my dead body."

He aimed it at me, and before anyone could react, I closed my eyes, peaceful at last.


























Z POV:

"TANNER! TANNER!" I screamed, my eyes wide awake.
She rolled over and faced me, panicked.
"What's the matter?" She asked, concerned.
"OH MY GOD! TANNER! I THOUGHT YOU DIED!!" I sobbed.
"Shhh, shhh." She rocked me.
"It's okay, honey."

"It's okay."
