"Okay, well let's see. He isolated you from the rest of the family." I state using my hands extravagantly.
"Kept you hopped up on pills." Diego pipes in tucking his shirt into his pants.
"And he brainwashed you into thinking you had no powers." Lu...

CHAPTER 11
I lean on the side of the elevator wall as it descends. I look down at Klaus suspiciously not forgetting what he said.
"Well, that went as well as any Hargreeves family function." I sigh looking up at Allison.
"I feel so violated." Klaus groans. "I need a herbal bath. You had no right to possess me."
"Omg." I whisper to myself. That's what he meant. Ben possessed him. I open my mouth to speak but get cut off by Allison.
"Congratulations."
"For what?" Luther questions.
"I think that's the first time you've ever stood up to Dad."
"Hmm."
"Are you okay?" I ask Diego. He turns looking at me.
"I didn't need your help."
"I know." I reply looking at him. "Team 0." He smiles at me as the elevator dings causing the doors to open. He walks out turning left. He's a man of very little words. Since we've been young he's acted like he can handle anything that's throw at him by himself. I will always be thankful to him for breaking down his walls a tiny bit, letting me in. I sigh watching Vanya and Allison walkout. I look at Luther giving him a small smile before walking out myself. I walk out of the building before turning down the street leaving my siblings to find their way home. I cross my arms reliving the events from tonight. How dare he treat us like that! I kick a stone on the path before turning the corner. Did Ben really possess Klaus? Well that's what he said. I sigh thinking put through. But ghosts can't time travel. I sigh once more looking around before crossing the road.
I enter the main section of town heading towards Elliott's apartment. A knife flies past my head and into the darkened alleyway, causing my hand to reach up and touch it. I look down at my hand and notice blood. I look around the empty dark street. No one. I walk up the wall and notice the knife sticking out of it belongs to Diego. I sigh rolling my eyes.
"Very funny." I state grabbing the knife. "I'm bleeding so, thanks a lot." I hear a gunshot causing me to duck. All of a sudden I'm kicked in the back falling to the floor. I turn around to see two men standing over me.
"Sorry." One of them states in a strong Swedish accent. He grabs the knife from the wall before leaning down to my level. I punch him in the face before standing up. How dare you fire a gun at me. He spits out blood before standing up smirking at me. In a matter of seconds, he punches me in the face and kicks my shin causing me to fall the floor. I groan looking at them walking across the street to a building. My stomach drops realising where he is going. Elliott. I run across the street causing car horns to beep in my direction. I breathe in jagged breaths as I watch the two men disappear into the building. "ELLIOTT!" I scream, tears falling down my face. I crash into the wall before opening the door and running upstairs. I walk into the darkened apartment as someone grabs me holding my mouth shut. I shake my body trying to get out of his grasp as I hear the front door open. I freeze as the lights turn on. I hear a cat meow as he speaks.
"Hey, buddy. How'd you get up here? You hungry? Ooo. Look what I got." I twitch my body violently twisting out of the man's grasp. He attempts to grab me again as I stretch my hands feeling them heat up. "Hello? Is someone here?" I place my hands onto his face sizzling is features. He yells out causing Elliott to drop whatever it was he was holding. I quickly run out into the main living area to see another man, looking very similar to the first one. I watch as he punches Elliott.
"HEY!" I yell running up to him. The man smirks as I punch him square in the face. Elliott craws over to the couch. The man with the now burnt face grabs me from behind leaving the other one to grab Elliott. I launch myself backflipping us over and causing the man to fall unexpectedly backwards. I do a backwards roll away from him before looking up and seeing Elliott being choked. I quickly stand up and run but get pulled down to the ground hitting the side of my head on the wooden table. I blink a few times looking behind me as he pulls me towards him punching me in the stomach. I flip us over straddling him as I punch him repeatedly in the face.
"Where is Diego?" He questions causing me to pause for a second looking up at him.
"I don't... I don't... I don't... I don't know." Elliott chokes out as the man beneath me pulls me off him. I roll along the floor and into the couch before he picks me up by the front of my dress.
"You won't get my brother!" I spit into his face as he throws me against the left wall. I hear punches being thrown as I stumble to stand up. Think of Elliott. You have to save him. I pull myself up using the couch before whipping the blood away from under my nose. I don't even want to know what I look like right now. I stagger over to the man who just threw me, noticing Elliott lying on the floor as I hold my hand out causing him to have trouble breathing. "I dint want to have to do this." I slowly close my hand into a fist, causing the air to escape his lungs, as he falls to the floor. I laugh as a figure comes into my peripheral vision. I turn to see a baseball bat coming closer. It hits my forehead causing me to fly back and fall, everything going dark.
I begin to regain consciousness as Luther's voice echos through my ears.
"You need to stop pacing."
"What if she's dead. You don't know how far I'll go, Luther. To find the person responsible."
"She's not dead, she has a pulse and she's breathing."
"Anything can happen!"
"Will you two stop fighting." I state shakily as I open my eyes.
"Oh my god!" Diego states crouching down beside me. I attempt to sit up as I wince from the pain in my stomach. Diego supports my head as Luther questions me.
"What happened?" His question sounds calm but his face displayed differently.
"Where is Elliott?" I question sitting up, my breathing increases. "They were gonna kill him, I knew I just knew, and I had to stop it. Did I stop it?" I look at Luther as tear escapes. He shakes his head as I speak, "Where is he?"
"I don't think-"
"I said I wanna see him!" I hear Diego sigh as he pulls me up. I groan holding onto him. Luther looks at me with a worried expression. "I'm fine." I state looking to my left. I walk with shaky steps over to the occupied chair. I walk up to him slowly before turning to see his bloody face. I let out an inhuman scream as my hand flys to cover my face. Both brothers walk over and stand next to me. "This is all my fault."
"This is not your fault!" Diego states. I turn to face him as tears fall from my eyes. He pulls me into a hug holding me tight against his form. I cry out soaking his top as he holds me tighter. I feel Luther hug me from behind as I relax against my brothers letting all my emotions fall out.
