I am Violet. I was a superhero. I was dating my best friend. I had everything going for me. I was in college. I was getting more comfortable in my skin. I was a more confident superhero. And I was 20 when it happened. I am Violet Rachel Parr. And this is a story of how I died. This is my story.

It started out a normal day. I walked to my classes and everything went as usual. Something just felt different. I couldn't put my finger on it. If I'd have know this would be my last day I would have done so many things different. I would have hugged my family one more time. Kissed Wilbur one last time. Said "I love you" one last time. But that will never happen.

I got a call on my emergency phone. I thought it was just a routine call to action like normal; until I saw a picture of who I would be fighting against. I was in shock. I couldn't believe it. I felt the color drain from my face. I looked at Wilbur and told him I had to leave. He understood. We kissed goodbye and I ran off.

I ran to my car and drove towards downtown. I put the car on auto-drive and changed my outfit. I still had the red suit my family and I wore all those years ago. I reminisced for a second then put on my mask. I recalled the words my mother always said,"Your identity is your most valuable possession. Protect it." My car stopped and I got out and faced the damage ahead of me.

Then BAM! Out of nowhere a giant claw nails my back. I fly and turn invisible mid air. I land on my feet and run to get a better vantage point. I hide behind a wall and see a familiar black suit and red hair fly by cooing, "Where are you Invisigirl? I know you're here somewhere."

I call my brother on my phone. "Hey." I whisper. "Syndrome is back. Come to downtown. And hurry."  I tell him.

"I'll be right there." He says and I hang up. I ran out and turned invisible. I noticed Syndrome was about to shoot at a group of people. I put a force field around them just in time. I let it go then put one around Syndrome. He shot and it bounced around in the bubble and hit him finally. I let go of the force field and let him fall to the ground. Then a red blur sped by and hit him. Repeatedly. All I heard was grunts and yells.

"'Bout time little man. I was about to think you weren't coming." I shouted at him.

"What? and let you have all the fun." He said coming to a halt beside me.

"Watch out!" I screamed as she jumped in front of him and put up a force field. Syndrome smiled at them and sent the omnidroid to attack us again. "Run around the legs!" I yelled at him. He nodded and took off. He confused the droid as I ran over and put a force field around the head and tried to rip it off. It saw what I was doing before I could finish and slammed me but I put up a force field so I wasn't hurt. It had grabbed Dash in its claw. "NO!" I screamed and threw force fields at the connector. It fell off  and Dash broke away. The onmidroid spotted me and rolled towards me. I turned invisible and ran. But not fast enough. Symdrome caught me in a zero point energy beam and I was stuck. I couldn't move. Dash saw what was happening so he ran up and grabbed Syndrome's boot. He let me go and I had enough time to jump out of the way of the rolling Omnidroid.

I turn invisible and run to Dash. He is knocked out. I Think fast. I put a force field around him. I leave it there. As long as it's there nothing can hurt him. Out of the corner of my eye I see a tall skinny boy run up to my brother. I put a force field around him as well. But I wasn't paying attention. I throw up a force field around myself. But it was too late. I was hit. But I wasn't going to let him win. I throw up a force field around Syndrome and the Omnidroid. The omnidroid was smart. But it didn't know what to do. I hit the wall of the field and it bounced back and hit Syndrome and the omnidroid. Syndrome was knocked out and the Omnidroid kept hitting the wall.

I felt myself fading. But the omnidroid has enough and shoots its hand off and it ricochets around and pierces the engine. I let all the force fields go. Dash and the boy run up to me. I fall to my knees. I can't breathe. The shot had pierced my lung and it was filling up quick. I cough and blood comes out. The skinny boy turns out to be Wilbur.

"I'm sorry. I was too slow." I say.

"You're going to be okay." Wilbur says. "Dash. Call an ambulance. Something."

"I have an Idea." Dash says as he picks me up and runs to a hospital. That is when it went black.

WILBUR POV

I drove to the hospital. I saw Dash pacing back and forth in the hallway. "Is she okay?" I ask.

"They don't know." He says curtly.

"Have you told your parents." I ask.

"Yes. I called them. They are almost here." He says just as they come bursting throught the door in their old super suits. They run up and hug Dash. 

"Thank god you're okay." Elastigirl tells him.

"It's because of her we are." He says gesturing to the room. Just then the doorknob moves and a doctor come out. He has a very grim expression. He shakes his head.

"I am sorry. There was nothing we could do. She lost too much blood." He says.

I stand there and say and do nothing. I can't feel anything. I can't move, breathe, blink, nothing. The Parrs drive me home. I sit on my couch and think about her. Nothing else. Our first kiss. The day I asked her out. The day we met. It was all I could do not to scream. Then the wind picks up around me. It gets cold. Then I see it. A ghost. Not just a ghost. Her ghost.

"Violet?" I ask skeptically.

She nods. "Don't spend your life dwelling on me. It hurts now but the pain will fade. Just remeber what you always told me. Don't look backwards for very long, keep moving forward." She says with a smile. and fades away.

VIOLET POV

It felt good talking to him one last time. I know he might never forget me. Nor will I forget him. But I hope he just remembers my story. No, not my story. Our story.
