My Cheerleader Has A Gun - Chapter 27: Chapter 27

Third Person P.O.V
As Violet slowly laid Olivia's unconscious body to the ground, she turned to look at The Mother who looked amused as they met gazes. It was weird to see The Mother's face again, closer at that, after all the years had passed. She never wanted to cross path with her again if the circumstances were different.
"I must say, I'm impressed," The Mother spoke as she drew closer, "I never thought you would go through with your plan, considering you looked uncertain when you approached me days ago."
Violet retained her neutral expression even if she wanted to smack the woman in the face, "I held my end of our bargain, now I want you to hold up yours," she said seriously, causing the woman to laugh hysterically. If Violet hadn't known her better, she would have been insulted at how she laughed at her but instead of feeling that way, she patiently waited for the woman to compose herself as she didn't want to ruin her only chance of becoming a Red Circle.
"You haven't changed Violet. You still make me laugh so hard," The Mother said teary-eyed.
"I wonder which part was funny," Violet retorted.
"The fact that you killed your friend to be a Red Circle, which, in that matter, I remember how you despised becoming one of us long time ago."
"I've changed and I just proved it," Violet said, gesturing to Scarlett's body. The Mother briefly glanced at the lifeless body and remembered the disappointment of still not knowing the Coxs whereabouts. Scarlett knew their location but she wasn't able to coax the information out of her because Violet had to put her down.
"No, you failed Violet. You killed the only one who knew the Coxs' location." The statement caused Violet to clench her jaw and curled her hands into fist, thinking what she did wasn't easy but she did it anyway and yet she still failed in her eyes.
"Killing her was hard but I had to do it. You don't know Scarlett like I did and I knew she would stop at nothing to take down the Red Circle. You should be thanking me instead because I got rid of the one person that could take you down... And if you just consider, I can assure you that if you'll have me...I will bring the Coxs to you."
The boss raised her brow, seeing the determination in Violet's eyes. She admitted, she liked the change in her. She was different and had grown so much since the last time she saw the young girl. Even if she didn't want to admit it herself, deep down, she truly missed her Violet.
"Okay Violet, I'll give you a chance, if you'll answer my question."
"What is it?" she asked eagerly.
"After all these years...why decide to join us? Why now?" Violet thought for a moment. She had her reasons but there was only one thing she could tell to The Mother.
"I realized I made a huge mistake for running away. I shouldn't have done that, I shouldn't have abandoned you and I truly regret it...that's why I like to make it up to you if you'll let me...Mom." Violet bit back her lower lip as the word tasted foreign in her mouth. It has been a long time since she called her mom and it weirded her out.
Hearing her daughter said the 'mom' word, The Mother couldn't help but smile. Before Violet ran away, she was her only life, the one she cared for the most, after her brother died. So when her daughter left, she had been devastated. She searched for her, for months and yet she couldn't find her, until her hunger for revenge overcame her, making her forget the pain of losing her daughter. But now her daughter was back. Even though seeing her again made her happy, she still couldn't trust her, after all, why would she come back now?
The Mother smiled, "I miss hearing you call me that."
"And I miss calling you 'Mom'.
The Mother wanted to hug her daughter but she decided not to for she didn't want to show that she was somewhat happy at her comeback, instead, she just flashed a small smile before averting her attention to some of her guards who were standing in the distance, waiting for her instructions.
"I take it you didn't bring an army? Several of my guys are still standing."
Violet shook her head, "No. It's just me and Scarlett. Part of the plan."
"Clever girl," The Mother complimented before calling her guards and instructed them to clean the mess and dump the bodies. Hearing this, Violet immediately objected and volunteered to dispose Scarlett's body causing The Mother to stare at her suspiciously.
"She was my friend, a good one at that and even if I'm the one who killed her, I owe her a proper...disposal." The Mother stared at her daughter, trying to intimidate her to slip up if she had something on her sleeve, but Violet had kept her stern expression, making it harder for her. She didn't trust her daughter and felt that she was planning something and what would it be, she had to find out.
"Okay then, but my guards will help you out. I know you couldn't do it alone," she said suggestively, gesturing to several of her guards, "And I'll be expecting you later my dear, we're going to have a drink. Consider it a mother-daughter time." She walked to her daughter and cupped her cheek which she usually did back then, before getting in to the car that had just arrived.
As soon as the unconscious Olivia had been settled beside The Mother, the car started moving, leaving Violet with a bunch of guards as she watched the vehicle slowly disappeared from the view. Without much ado, she turned to the guards with a determined look.
"Okay, I just need two guys to help me out here, the rest, you go help with the others in the warehouse." As if her instruction had fallen into deaf ears, nobody moved from their spots as they stared hard at Violet, causing her to snort humorlessly. "Look, I'm sure you all heard my conversation with your boss... to say I'm The Mother's daughter, I suggest you follow my orders like how you follow my mother's to avoid punishments. Are we clear?" There was silence in the air and Violet couldn't help but notice their piercing glares but she didn't care about them for she just wanted the job to be over as soon as possible. "Okay, you and you, stay here and help me," she continued, pointing to two random guards. Soon after, the guards reluctantly obeyed her as they turned their backs to her and walked towards the warehouse, leaving the two she pointed earlier.
She waited for the others to get inside the warehouse before turning to the two she chose and instructed them what to do. Without further ado, the two guards obeyed as they walked to Scarlett's motionless body to lift her up. Little did they know, Violet had already drawn her gun as she put a silencer on it, watching the guys' backs. As the guards had lifted the body, inches from the ground, she instantly aimed the weapon and fired at the two, both instantly dropped to the ground.
She then walked to Scarlett and hovered beside her.
"You can stop pretending now Scarlett," she said, bored.
Scarlett cracked an eye open and smirked before pulling herself up into a sitting position. "Phew! That took long enough," she said as she looked up at Violet.
"Well, she's not that easy to convince..." Violet retorted as she stretched her hand which Scarlett gladly held, lifting herself up from the ground, "...and I'm sure she doesn't trust me yet, even if I'm her daughter."
"What did you expect? You ran away, leaving her while she was still mourning over her brother's death. And then out of the blue, you popped up, wanting to join her organization all of a sudden. That's suspicious enough."
"You know I had to run away. She changed. Turned into a monster... Until now, I don't want to join the Red Circle but I have to as part of the plan."
Scarlett shrugged, "Yeah I know... Just so you know, I almost cringe when you called her 'mom'."
"Yeah, well, you're not the only one. Anyway, we have to dispose these bodies immediately."
"I have an idea." The two girls started lifting the bodies one by one and put them in the wrecked car which The Mother and Olivia were in earlier. Apparently, the fastest way of getting rid of the bodies as of the moment was using the car and make it jump into the water, as what Scarlett thought. Although, it wouldn't be long til someone could find the but it would do, for now.
"So, does she have another name aside from The Mother?" Scarlett asked curiously as she closed the car door. Violet didn't answer right away for she was in deep thought. She hadn't consider thinking about her mother's real name for the woman who bore that name had been long gone. Her mother wasn't the same anymore since she took over the organization...since she had became The Mother, an evil drug kingpin who would stop at nothing to get her revenge.
"Helena. Helena Moore," Violet answered in a strained voice.
"And your Collins?"
Violet sighed, "Fake. I made it up, I don't really like my last name. Actually, my real name is Violet Moore. No father, he abandoned us since I was little. It was just me and mo- ...Helena."
Scarlett slowly nodded, "I see..."
Silence took over once again as they continued their work. Once everything was settled, Scarlett started the engine then the two watched as the car plunged into the water and slowly sank under.
"Are you ready to do this?" Violet asked all of sudden without making eye contact as her gazed was still glued to the water where the car was at, moments ago.
"As ready as I'll ever be," Scarlett answered with determination.
"Then let the game begin."

Olivia
I woke up in the same bed of the hotel room they had put me in, feeling exhausted from the events that happened last night. Before I could realize, tears started pouring from my eyes as I recalled the moment when Violet shot Scarlett. It was like my heart had been crushed thinking that I wouldn't see her again. Scarlett was dead and the worst part was that I did nothing while she tried to save me and I just stood frozen when she was on the ground, dying. How could I get through this? When one of the people I cared about was taken from me. I didn't know how to handle this pain I was feeling right now and I didn't know if I could when I was all alone in here.
This pain, it was unbearable. I couldn't stop crying my heart out as I couldn't get rid of her final moment out of my head. This was so unfair! How could I tell her how much I cared about her when she was gone? How could I tell that I love her?
While I was on the verge of breaking, the door suddenly flew open and came walked in Violet. Seeing her, I was instantly overcame with anger and I immediately jumped off the bed, storming towards her.
"You!" I hissed before connecting my fist to her jaw making her head to sway to the side.
"Bitch!" she snapped as she touched her bleeding lip while glaring daggers at me. The punch didn't satisfy me so I threw another punch and another but she easily evaded them.
"How could you kill her? How could you do that to her?" I sobbed feeling all my strength escaped me but it didn't stop me from throwing weak punches. She caught my wrists and pulled them close to her chest, bringing my body close to her. My breath hitched because of our proximity.
"I had to Olivia..." she said seriously, "She was a threat to the Red Circle that's why I had to get rid of her."
"What?" I asked, dumbfounded.
"Scarlett needed to die because she was crossing The Mother...my mother..." I wanted to ask what she meant by it but I chose to shut my mouth when I felt something on my hand. "The Mother is my mom, that's why I had to kill Scarlett because she was giving her troubles," she added. With one last tight grip, she pushed me away causing me to almost stumble back.
"The Mother...she's your mom?" I breathed.
She nodded, "I know Scarlett and I know what she was capable of so she needed to die before she could hurt my mom."
"She was your friend Violet. She cared about you," I said weakly.
"I know but I'm not sorry. Thought you should know that." She stared at me briefly before turning her back and walked out of the room. Fresh tears escaped my eyes as I walked back to the bed and laid down, curled like a ball but when I remembered the thing Violet had slipped on my hand, I grabbed the cover and dragged it overhead before opening my hand, revealing a small piece of paper. To think that Violet had secretly slipped it into my hand, I knew she didn't want to let the people watching through the surveillance camera see the paper.
I unfolded it and I immediately saw her handwriting. As I read the message, my eyes instantly shot wide as it said:
'Scarlett is alive. Part of the plan. For now, just go along with me.'
After all the tears, I managed to smile. "Oh Scarlett, you bitch."
