The End of Something)

The entire group, bar Five, walked to the barn where he and Lila were fighting, but the grunts of pain had stopped and instead, Five was trying to talk to her. Klaus skipped to his twin's side as they all listen to Five's realisation, "She never cared about your parents. She was looking for you."

"Why?" Lila whispered as they entered the barn, Kali strolling over to Five, much to his quiet dismay, not wanting her in Lila's direction in case the black-haired girl attacked, though his arm subconsciously wrapped around her waist as she stood by his side.

"'Cause, you're one of us," Kali explained strongly, noticing that neither of them was seriously hurt, though she didn't fully care what state Lila was in.

Lila spun around when she heard the footsteps of the other family members, Klaus stopping closer to Kali than the rest of the family. "The Handler stole you, Lila," Diego explained, stepping closer to her, ignoring the dagger in her hand, pointing towards them at her hip level. "Just like our asshole father took all of us."

Lila shook her head aggressively, her head spinning between each person in front of her, "No. It's not the same thing."

"You're right." Diego agreed, taking another step closer, "Because he didn't have our parents murdered." Lila seemed to grow more agitated at Deigo's comment but the man quickly spoke again, "Listen to me, Lila. You were born October 1, 1989, the same day as all of us."

"Stay back!" Lila shouted, her stance quickly tensing and growing aggressive, everyone quickly spread out, reading to attack, Five and Klaus had to stop themselves from openly protecting Kali, who had glared at them to stop them from throwing their arm around her.

"Hey! Hey, stop! Wait. Wait. Hey!" Diego yelled, holding his hand out as though taming a wild animal. "Lila? Lila, stop."

"I trusted you." Lila hissed, Kali's hand wandering to the dagger she kept below her jacket, "I got you a job, I even introduced you to my mother, and then you took off on me." Her dagger was flying in the air as her hand did the same.
