The Queen Gangster

Chapter 15

While it was slowly getting dark, Violet took her chance to pull Tyler away from the others. She had been bothered by the dreams she had, but never really had the chance to ask him about it. She didn’t wanna discuss it over the phone, so she patiently waited for her chance.

Here it is.

"Tyler, is there a secret you’re keeping to yourself?" She asked immediately as soon as they were far from the garden

Her town looked stunned as he walked slow this time.

"Huh?" He frowned and she saw his nervousness

She couldn’t help but to chuckle when he started mumbling incoherent words as he continued to deny what she was thinking. Violet shook her head as she gave him a knowing look.

"Tyler..." I called in a warning tone

He averted his gaze so Violet sighed.

"Because I heard you tell me to take care of your son and daughter.." Her eyes stared forward, giving Tyler the time to think for himself "I was nervous at that time, I think it was just a dream"

She saw him bite his lip from the corner of her eye. You know you can’t force yourself, Ty. Take all the time you need.

"Tyler, I am your Twin sister. And we both agree s**t happened when I was resurrected—given that I gained some weird features.” She chuckled to herself “And ever since that day, everything I have dreamt about…”

Violet paused when she heard Tyler sniff softly right beside him. She smiled and softly chuckled as she faced Tyler and gently hugged him. That’s when he finally broke down. Sobbing on her shoulder. She softly stroked his hair and sighed.

“It’s alright. I’ll wait.” Violet exclaimed “you can tell me in your time. So just breath. You know I’ll understand you no matter what so don’t worry.”

"I-I didn’t know… Nyx—T-They lost her—I—didn’t have the heart to neglect them.” He stammered and gripped the back of her shirt “T-They lost her—”

Violet nodded “Alright, I’ll listen.”

They took a seat on the bleachers near them and Tyler continued to cling on to her, sobbing louder than earlier as if he was in complete pain. Violet actually felt his pain in those moments and couldn’t help but to feel both regret and worry for her brother. He looked devastated, and she knew he was genuinely hurting at that moment.

"Who... Who is the girl?" Violet asked weakly

Tyler sniffed harded and gripped her shirt "S-She's dead Nix ... She couldn't bear to give birth.”

It was as if she felt sorry for him, as she leaned her head on his shoulder and stroked his hair once again. Violet tried to ease her twin even though she knew it was not enough.

"Ty, it’s alright, i don’t know what you have gone through nor what you were thinking when this happened. But I will patiently wait. I’ll listen so please just cry it all out. Your sister is going to listen to every scream.” Violet smiled sadly against his shoulder

And there she finally could hear her twin’s sobbing and screaming as he gripped on her shirt tighter by every scream he let out. Violet couldn’t do anything but stroke his hair and hold him as he finally broke down for what seemed like the first time he had the chance in forever.

“Help me, Talia.” He sobbed softly this time as he fell weak in her arms.

Violet smiled. And embraced him tighter, carrying the weight he had leaned against her. It's been a while huh, Tyler?

"I will.” She whispered softly

Slowly, she felt Tyler’s grip on her shirt loosen as he breathed against her neck and sobbed lightly. She continued to stroke his hair and him as he finally calmed down.

"Ice Colt. Samara Coral" he pronounced, still sobbing softly

Tyler pulled out his wallet and then slowly pushed himself back and showed her a picture of two kids that she had suspected were his kids.

"They are... The two children in my dream." Violet said with a smile of amazement

The three of them are in the picture, Tyler was sitting in the middle, while two kids sit on each of his lap. All three of them had wide smiles and genuine happiness radiated on the photo.

"I wanna see them." Violet said suddenly

"Next Saturday I will pick you up.” Tyler smiled, his red puffy eyes stared at hers. She chuckled and nodded at his offer.

"Who is their parent?" She asked out of nowhere.

Tyler was silent for a moment and scratched his neck. "Well, do you still remember the Grade 9 here before? Emma?" He began “I’ve been seeing her a lot since we were 15… and when we were 17 she told me she was pregnant. She gave birth three months after we were 18.”

“Wait… so you’re—”

“Unfortunately no.” Tyler chuckled and wiped his nose with his sleeve

"But you saved her children so I guess you like her too much.” Violet joked and they shared chuckles “Nevertheless, I’m proud of your decision. Although where’s their dad?”

“Banging another chick for all I care.” Tyler sniffed “He neglected them and refused to even take them. I’d rather keep the twins with me than have him raise them.”

Violet smiled and messed his hair “That’s my Tyler.”

After their confrontation, both of them decided to unwind for a while before going back since Tyler didn’t want the others to see his red puffy eyes. He told Violet stories about his kids, and that just excited her more. She really wanted to see them a lot more than earlier now.

As soon as his eyes were looking fine, they both decided to head back since it was slowly getting darker.

"Ms. Queen, you want?" Ianne tossed a bag of chips to Violet, who caught it with ease

“Thank you.” Violet smiled as she seated on the see-saw with Tyler on the other side

Tyler and I ate together. After a few more hours of goofing around the old park, they’ve all decided to go home. Violet didn’t want them to be in trouble so she assisted them and persuaded them to go home. She finally got Zax to go with Tyler after a couple of protests and complaints.

She was left with Glaze who accompanied her on their way back to their dorm.

"Do you think those gangsters will come back?" She looked at Glaze who was casually staring at the stars

She just shrugged at his question and patted Ash’s head. When they finally got to the dorm Violet went straight to the bedroom and dozed off due to exhaustion.

----

After she got dressed, and prepared quickly as she watched the time. Just like clock work, she had received a red heart slipped under her door. This time she had two, with an I love you on one heart and a take care on the other.

It was too early in the morning, but she’s already moving around in a hurry— because it was the weekend and there was a meeting in the headquarters for the leaders. 

She was about to go out of the room to remind Glaze that she would be out, but found the living room empty.

"Where did that dimwit go?" She whispered to herself

Violet just shook her head and shrugged it off. It’s not like it’s her business after all. and went out as well. she just locked the door, assuming Glaze had the key, and went straight to Aera's dorm and knocked.

"Oh, Hi, Nyx. You’re pretty early?" Aera greeted while yawning

"We have a meeting at Leaders HQ. Maybe you want to hang out with Tyler for today?" she asked

"All right. We'll take a bath first. We'll just go there."

Violet said goodbye to them and left quickly. She went straight to the parking lot and got on her bike sent by Tyler last night.

Without a second to lose, she just started her motor and went straight to the LHQ. Since it was early in the morning, traffic wasn’t a problem for her at all. She parked at the back of the building and entered. It's noisy so she knows it's starting. 

But before she could push the door to enter, she heard a loud yell from the inside, making her stop..

"What ?! Let's just kill Queen G !!" shouted a man

She already knew who that was. Alexa’s brother.

"MR. DIAVAL! YOU CANNOT RAISE YOUR VOICE AT US! AND YOU ARE REFERRING TO THE QUEEN! SHE IS NOT GOING TO LOSE THAT EASILY! FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, USE YOUR BRAIN!" Master Xien shouted.

There was a brief silence so Violet sighed and shook her head. She quickly pushed the doors open as if she had just arrived and looked around with worry.

"I'm sorry and I was late." She said fake panting as she made her way to her seat

Violet’s eyes roamed around the room as she slowly reached her seat and finally sat down on the throne.

"So, what did you talk about?" She asked, smiling sweetly at them as she look around like a predator looking for its prey

There are new leaders as well and she saw Kenneth in the crowd. There are those she does not know of but most she does know. The man in the black and gold mask grabbed her attention. For her, he stood out the most and it made him look familiar.

"Uhm..Queen G, Just about the upcoming Combat battles." Said Master Mira, she just nodded once

"The place I want is in an old amusement park. In a secret place, For the dead to be easily obtained and sent back." After she said that, whispers broke out through the room. "No one can refuse. I will punish those who do not agree with my proposal.”

Violet continued to smile sweetly.

"Q-Queen G..Five are our new Gang leaders" She looked at the youngest Master, Ben

"Introduce them." She commanded, gesturing her hand forward

"Mr. Kenneth Alcantara, From Shadow Blaze. Ms. Xia Domingo, From Hell Angels. Mr. Drake Coren, From Demon Hearts. Mr. Shawn Sireon, From Hagane. And Mr. Glaze Gresion, From Black Butterfly"

Violet paused upon hearing the last name. "Glaze…” She muttered

The masters looked at her as she stood up. Her confused eyes stared back at the man who wore a masquerade themed mask. His tantalizing blue eyes were seen through the holes for his eyes and it just cleared things up for her.

"You..." she pointed at the man so everyone's attention was turned to him

Violet approached him and raised her hand to touch his mask.

"Sorry, we do not allow the mask to be removed before the Battle is over." She raised a brow at his remark

"Unfortunately, I am the Queen.” She smiled “My word… is the law.”

Her hand was close to his mask but they suddenly heard a loud explosion. Violet was surprised when he hugged her and they both crouched together with the others and then next explosion.

“Find where that explosion is coming from!” Master Xien yelled

Violet’s breathing quickened from shock and nervousness. Glaze grabbed her hand and quickly pulled her out.

"Gla-Glaze! They..They are all ... Stop! I need to help!" Violet protested and pulled him to a stop.

"No! It's not safe there!" He shouted back and pulled her again

"Glaze!" Violet struggled, shouting "Glaze, stop it!"

He still pulled her with all his might and when they were close to the door Violet gritted her teeth and kicked the back of his knee and ran back as fast as she could.

"Cara mia!”

Slowly, Violet… stopped running. She felt heartbeat slow down even more. 

Did he just... Call me Cara mia?
