div dir="auto" Sitting in my room with her laying on the bed at an angle, her arm draped shoulder. I get a text from Jackson. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""5 minutes." I get up and she grabs my pants. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Where..." she asked. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""I got to meet mother, I'll be back soon." i say tucking her back in. She groans. I make my way to the backyard where Mother wanted us to meet. When i arrived it was just mother, Desdamona, Jackson, Anri and myself. I walk up to mother. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""So what's going on, mother?" /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""I'll let you know when Glados gets here." she responded sternly. It's not common for mother to talk to me like that.. I don't like it. A few minutes pass before Glados and Victoria showed up along with Dimitri and a few of our other siblings./div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Good, we can finally proceed." Gwendis said. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Proceed with what?" Glados asked. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""I want you two to fight." She replied. We're both looking confused. "You two have been at each others throats since you've met, and now it's time to let it go. So fight it out." /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Uhh until when.. " i asked. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Until your on the same page. Now go!"/div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto" We look so each other for a moment, then walk into the middle of the yard. Facing each other, 10 paces between us. Glados is a big man, Greek i think and built like a tank with the attitude to match. He has a fondness for tattoos. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""This isn't even going to be a fight, more like a massacre." Glados said taking off his jacket, now just wearing grey cargo pants and a black tank. I keep on my white collar shirt and black jeans. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""You shouldn't think so little of yourself. It's not healthy." i replied. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto" "Hahahaha! You can't even land a-" I interrupt him with a momentous left hook followed by a right punch to his ribs making him bend over. I ram my right knee into his face and he staggers backward. Then i spin to generate momentum, and kick Glados in his face, sending him flying to the side about 10 feet. Glados catches himself with a handspring. He's kneeling with his head down, coughing. Mild cheeres resonate from the crowd, none of the council. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Done already? I ask cavalierly. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Not on your life." He raised his head with glowing light grey eyes. He rushes me bearing his fangs and sweeps my legs out from under me and planted me on my back. Standing over me he punching down at me. I have my arms crossed blocking his shots. I have just enough time to turn my eyes on. Glados stomps on my exposed stomach then steps to the side. /div
div dir="auto""I told you, didn't i? He's nothing but a joke!" He tries to stomp on me again but i roll out of the way, up to a knee. He fractured my ribs with that first stomp. I'm kneeling, breathing heavy and holding my ribs. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Now you can experience first hand why in the executioner!" He says rushing me, throwing a heavy right handed punch. It takes both my hands to stop it cold. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""All you have is strength. No form, no style, your nothing special!" i say pulling him closer by his wrist and striking his jaw with my right elbow. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""I think i dislocated it. Fixing his jaw should give me enough time for my ribs to heal." I thought to myself. I create some distance stand up with a confident appearance, hands in my pockets, head turned a bit upward. I'm still a bit injured, but i cant ley him know. Just have to wait and heal up as much as i can. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Don't look so confident! Popping out a jaw is child's play." he said with slurred words. He turns around with a serious expression. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""I can't afford to be taken like that again, to be hit at all really." I thought. He comes at me again with a high kick, i duck to dodge. He follows with a heel stomp, i roll into a back handspring with one hand with the other still in my pocket. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Stop running! And fight! He yells throwing a right jab, dodge with a tight spin to the lest and back fist him in his face knocking him off balance. Then i spin back in the other direction, kicking the other side of his face. He grabs my leg at my ankle and thigh, lifts me over his head and slams me into the ground./div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Sometimes, strength is all you need." He said holding me up by my ankle upside down. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""God.. Fucking.. Dammit. He is ridiculously strong." i thought. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""You know, this could have been avoided." he said as he kicked me across the yard, smashing through an angel statue. "I could deal with the fame of your name, i could deal with you being Mother's favorite. I could even deal with your annoying cavalier attitude. But risking all of our lives to serve your own interests was the final cut!" He said walking towards me. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""She is our sister, she's been with us just as long as you have! I would have done the same for anyone else here! Beyond that, Violet is important to me, i wouldn't hesitate to risk my life again for her." i said slowly rising to my feet. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Enough! Shes isn't worth it! He rushed me and all i can do is guard. I close my eyes to prepare for impact. Then i hear Glados' voice cry in pain and the loud crash of another statue. I open my eyes to see Violet standing in front of me wearing her pajamas and holding my sword. To everyone's surprise, Violet was able to send him clear across the yard. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Violet...?" i asked. She remained silent, looking back at me. Her eyes were glowing a bright royal purple. /div
div dir="auto""She's really pissed off, she must have heard him!" i thought. Glados appears behind her in the middle of a high kick aimed at her head. She blocks it with a raise of her hands, minimal effort. He immediately goes for a punch to her face and she cuts his arm off in the middle of his forearm. He kneels to the ground screaming. She raises the sword to strike him again./div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Violet! Stop!" I call to her. I watch her arm fall and stop half way through. Mother stands in front of her taking hold of her right wrist, Jackson behind her holding her left arm behind her, Anri next to mother with her hand on Violet's throat. Victoria is kneeling between Violet and Glados in a defensive position. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""That's enough Violet, put it down." Gwendis said. Violet didn't budge./div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto" "Victoria you and Desdamona take Glados to the infirmary. Everyone else, leave. We are done here." Gwendis said. The crowd begins to leave except Anri and Jackson, chatter flutters the air. Victoria is gone with Glados in a flash, Desdamona follows after with his arm. I slowly rise. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Hey.. Violet. It's alright. You can put it down now." I say slowly reaching for her hand. I grab the blade by its back and slip it out of her grip. Her eyes still illuminating. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""He needed to be taken down a level. You all know that." Violet said closing her eyes. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Its alright, you can let her go." Gwendis ordered. They both let her go and step back. She opens her eyes and they dimmed to normal. "Come on Violet. To my office." The leave us there. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""What's gotten into her? That's really unlike her." Anri asks. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""I don't know, but he must have does something to piss her off. It could even be a mark of the poison." Jackson said. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Whatever the case she's not someone to piss off on a normal day." i added, plopping on a nearby bench. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""That was quite the show you put on." Jackson said /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Yeah, did you get out all our of your system?" Anri asked./div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""No, not really." /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Why? Because you got your ass kicked?" She laughed. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""What?! No! Shut up, we were interrupted. I'm sure he'll want a rematch as well." /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Try not to get your ass kicked next time." Jackson scoffed waking off. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""I didn't get my ass kicked! It was fairly even!" i yelled. /div
div dir="auto" /div
div dir="auto""Alright tough guy, let's get you to blood and bed. You gotta heal up." Anri said . /div
