Attack

[Elena]

"Guys! Stop it!" Elena said as she ran over to them. With everything on her mind she wasn't thinking clearly. It would've been easy to pry the two apart with her powers, but that thought hadn't crossed her mind. She stood in the middle of the two, hoping that it would keep them from fighting.

"She's right guys, just stop. It's not worth it." Izobel piped in.

Syrena had ran over to Erik when he was struck by lightning. She knelt down beside him and went to help him up. She would rather Erik get angry at her than to fight with Liam. It was as if Erik blamed the whole thing on Liam and refused to believe that it was her fault at all.

[Liam/Mason]

As soon as Erik was standing he slapped Syrena hard across the face. "Don't touch me. I should've known what kind of woman you were....still are apparently." Liam tried to send a powerful wave of energy at Erik, but he lost control and sent the force flying every which way. The glass on the bar broke into a thousand pieces, spraying everywhere. People were thrown through the air. Even Liam was thrown across the room. He was using powers that had been stored in his memory for years. He didn't know how to use them.

[Elena]

Syrena didn't even have a chance to be shocked at Erik slapping her in the face before she was thrown back into the wall. Her head hit the wall and she slid to the floor unconscious. Izobel was thrown back, hitting a window, making it shatter. Glass pieces fell to the ground, some slicing her arms and shoulders.

Elena was thrown into the air and before she could stop herself from smacking into something, she felt a thud against her back. She looked around while everyone started to get up and tried to move when a flood of pain washed through her. She took in a deep breath and found she was straining to do so. Her torso felt tight. Slowly her gaze dropped so she could see what was wrong and what she found was almost horrifying enough to make her faint. Sticking out from her lower chest was the wooden leg to one of the chairs.

Fear began to sink in and her breathing got shorter and and more strained. She felt blood start to rise in her throat, making her start to gag and choke on it.

[Liam/Mason]

Mason had gone through a wall, but his strength and durability saved him from injury. Liam grabbed onto the nearest ledge and pulled himself up. He looked on in horror realizing what he'd done. Elena had a wooden chair leg going through her body, and Liam couldn't save her from death. He could heal himself, but he didn't have the power to save others. He ran to her and fell to his knees at her side. He slid the chair leg out of her and held her in his arms. Tears poured out of his eyes and dripped down onto Elena. "I'm sorry," he sobbed quietly. "I do love you, so much. What have I done..."

[Elena]

Elena looked up at Liam as he pulled the chair leg out of her. She could feel the warm blood soaking her shirt, but the blood was making her body feel cold. For a few minutes she just stared up at Liam, trying to speak, but blood was starting to pool in her mouth. Her skin slowly turned white and her lips started to turn blue. I love yo-- Elena tried to tell Liam telepathically but before she could finish she died.

Her eyes stared up at Liam, lifeless, empty and a small line of blood fell down her jaw. Izobel got up and walked over to where Mason had gone through the wall. She held onto her left forearm which was bleeding from a fairly large cut. Once she found that Mason was alright she turned to Liam who was clutching Elena. "Dammit Liam!"

[Liam/Mason]

Elena was gone, but Liam could still hear everyone's thoughts. He'd unlocked the ability to use every power in his mental library. "You did this..." he growled, setting Elena's body down and turning to Erik. Mason stepped back into the room and grabbed his brother's shoulder. "Nah bro, you did this and you need to stop!" Liam used his brother's strength and pushed him back through the hole in the wall.

Erik, still a little woozy, tried to use his power to keep Liam back. Liam stumbled for a moment, but kept going. He grabbed a piece of broken glass and began to stab Erik in the chest over and over again. He shoved the shard of glass into Erik's forehead and then stepped back. "LIAM!" Mason shouted, his eyes wide. "What are you doing? What's happened to you!"

[Elena]

"LIAM, STOP!" Izobel ordered. She flung the cash register at Liam, hitting him in the head. While he was down she ran over to Erik to check his wounds. Liam had done a number on Erik. There were at least a dozen deep wounds in Erik's chest and then one to the forehead. She checked Erik's neck for a pulse but couldn't find one. "Shit..." She sat back and ran a bloody hand through her hair.

She stood up and walked over to Elena and knelt down beside her. Elena was one of her only close friends in their group, she talked to her more than anyone. She shook her head, fighting back tears.

[Liam/Mason]

Liam felt something heavy hit his head and he blacked out. Mason walked over to Syrena and picked her up. "We have to go Izobel." He didn't want to abandon his brother, but Liam was out of control. He'd killed two of their own. He'd unlocked these dangerous powers and he didn't know how to use them. "We need to get everyone and leave. Find a new place to stay," he whispered.

[Elena]

Izobel didn't want to leave Elena, but Mason was right. With one last look at Elena she stood up and followed Mason out. "Take Syrena to my old house. No one will think that we would go back there, we'll have better medical attention there too. I'll go get everyone and meet you there in an hour, okay? Be careful." The last thing she needed was for Mason to get hurt. She kissed him on the cheek quickly and walked off to the house. When she got there she instructed everyone where to go and said she'd explain when they got there. They were all curious as to why she was full of cuts and blood.

[Liam/Mason]

Liam woke up a few hours later and started to scream when he remembered all that had happened. He crawled over to Elena and held her in his arms. He stayed by her body for nearly an entire day. The next night he carried her body into the forest and buried her in a beautiful meadow. Eriks body he simply threw in the harbor.

A few years passed and Liam was the leader of the most powerful mutant gang in the country. Even the General couldn't destroy them. Liam's men battled Izobel's many times, but no matter how many of Liam's men died, he could always find more. Normally, Liam could recruit mutants that had been created by the government with that new serum. Elena's death always haunted him, and he used that sadness and anger as fuel.

[Elena]

Izobel's eyes fluttered open and she looked around. She sat up in her bed and stretched, her body sore from lack of sleep. Liam and his men were making things difficult for her over the past few weeks. She got two, maybe three hours of sleep tops. She let out a long sigh and turned to look at the man sleeping next to her. If it wasn't for Mason, she probably would've given up.

She got out of bed and walked down to the kitchen. They had about thirty members in the house and it was just starting to get cramped. With Liam and his gang searching for them she would've had to vacate the house, but luckily a few weeks after they separated from Liam, they found another telepath and a mutant who could make people see things. Whenever someone got close to the house the mutant made that person see an abandoned house.

"Morning Izobel," said one of the mutants.

"Morning, any news?" asked Izobel as she poured herself a cup of coffee. She sat down at the counter and sipped her drink, knowing she would need the caffeine.

"None. Liam's hiding his gang as well as we are."

Syrena woke up to the sound of a small voice calling for her. "Mommy, mommy! Wake up!" She groaned and turned over as she opened her eyes. Right in front of her was a little three year old girl. The girl looked gorgeous with her mother's flawless skin and beautiful blonde hair. Her eyes weren't the bright blue of her mother's, instead they were a chocolate brown, like her father's.

"Morning beautiful." She sat up in her bed as the girl climbed up on it and sat on her mother's lap.

"Can we go to the docks today?! I want to see the fishies!"

Syrena thought for a moment before nodding her head. "Alright, I did promise you, but only for a little while, the outside isn't very safe." Ever since Liam took hold of the town she didn't like going out. Unfortunately, a little girl couldn't stay confined in a motel room all day.

[Liam/Mason]

"I want you to circle the block again, and send some men to check out that mansion. Collect our money from the club and don't you dare waste any time with those whores. You got it?" Liam asked, sitting in his comfy chair with his feet up on his desk. He'd put a bounty on his old group, but money could only be collected if they were brought in alive. "Got it boss," said Alek, Liam's right hand man. Alek had super speed. He was so fast that he could run up the side of a two-hundred story building.

Mason woke up a few minutes later, missing Izobel's body warmth. He joined her in the kitchen and made some toast. "What's on the agenda?" he asked in a dull voice. Mason wasn't the jolly man he used to be. His brother was their enemy and he was afraid that one day he'd have to kill Liam.

[Elena]

Izobel looked up as Mason walked into the room. "We are running a little low on supplies, want to come?" She asked with a small smile. She missed Mason's old personality, the one that always had a joke up his sleeve and knew how to make her smile. He was different after Liam went bad. She could tell he was worried and upset about the whole thing, with good reason.

Syrena got her daughter dressed and they walked a short ways to the docks. The little girl had fun playing by the water. They had only been there about ten minutes when four guys stepped out behind a building. "Well look what we have here, boys." One of the men said. Syrena picked up her girl and took a step back from the men.

"You know you're trespassing on private property Miss?" Another man said.

"I-I'm sorry, I'll just leave." She said and turned to walk away when she found herself face to face with one of the men, he had teleported.

"Oh no, we have orders to follow. Trespassers come with us. I can tell the boss will have fun with you, maybe he'll let us have some time alone as well." There was a devious tone to the man's voice that sent fear through Syrena's body. Before she knew it the guy took her daughter out of her hands and vanished.

Before she had time to react, the other three men grabbed onto Syrena. "No! Let go of me! Give me back my baby!" She struggled against their grasps, but was no use. They dragged her kicking and screaming to Liam's hideout.

One of them knocked on the door to Liam's office before entering. "Sir, we found a trespasser out by the docks. We thought you may like this one." The other two men dragged in Syrena who was still fighting.

Syrena was pushed in and almost fell to the floor. She saw the man who took her with her daughter and grabbed her daughter, who was crying, out of his hands. "What the hell do you want with me?!" She asked. Her eyes moved to the office chair that was turned around, the boss, whoever it was, was in there.

[Liam/Mason]

"Ya, I guess," Mason said, shoving the rest of the toast into his mouth. He downed a glass of milk and then went to go get dressed. He always went on supply runs because he was hoping he'd run into Liam at some point.

Liam was reading the paper when his men brought in some trespassers. He was going to ignore them, when he heard a beautiful voice. He spun around and stood up, a shocked look on his face. "Syrena..." he whispered, walking slowly around the desk. He saw the little girl in her arms but didn't question it. It didn't even cross his mind that the girl could be his. "I'm so sorry about my men. They will be punished for their treatment of you." Liam grabbed two glasses and filled them up. One with hard alcohol and the other with apple cider. "What were you doing on the docks?"

[Elena]

Syrena nearly dropped her daughter when she saw who the boss was. "Liam." He was one of the last people she wanted to see. She hadn't seen him since the day in the bar. She had been knocked out and she woke up at Izobel's. She was told what Liam did and she couldn't believe he had killed Elena and Erik. She didn't stay at Izobel's, feeling guilty for partly causing all of it. She first went to the bar, hoping to find Erik, to say goodbye, but he was gone.

She didn't want to bring any more attention to her daughter than was already there, but Liam asked the one question that would. "I brought my daughter there. She wanted to see the fish." She ran a hand through her daughter's hair to help calm her. The little girl wasn't crying, but she had her face buried her Syrena's chest, scared of Liam.
