Luella sighed. "Re, we've been over this. Violet tolerates me, she hates you. I distract her, you get Janus, we both get out of there. You do not punch her."

"But-"

"No. You don't punch Violet."

Remus sighed in defeat. "Fine. But if she's hurt Blondie at all, I'm going to be breaking that promise."

"Knowing Violet, I'm not sure she will."

"But you just said on the way here-"

"I know what I said but look."

Remus poked his head above the rock formation he and Luella were hiding behind. Janus was sitting cross-legged on the floor opposite a girl with a short brown bob. The ends of her hair were dyed dark blue.

"Violet's really upped her style." Remus hissed. "Why's Blondie holding his hands like that?"

"My guess is that Violet's got him in shackles so he doesn't escape. She may not like to hurt people but she takes precautions." Luella clambered up onto the rock and glared at Remus. "Stay here until the opportune moment. Hey Violet!" She yelled.

Violet turned around and Remus noticed that she still had the Macbeth T-shirt. Violet sighed and stood up.

"Luella, now is not a good time! Can't you see I have a prisoner?!"

"Um, speaking of which, can you take these off now?" Janus asked, holding his shackled hands up to Violet who shook her head.

"No can do, Auridon. You may be a pretty weak person but you've got your wits about you. I'm not taking any chances. Plus that's the only good piece of metal I have." She turned back to Luella. "What d'you want?"

"It's about Jessie. He's having trouble with-"

"If it's reading or school related, I can't help you. So go away."

"But-"

"Luella, you're a pretty bad liar, you know that?" Violet said, picking at her midnight blue nails. "You can tell by the way your eyes flick to the side when you're thinking up a lie. It's painfully obvious. So what d'you want?"

"Re wants his boyfriend back and I said I would help him. Can you let him go?"

Violet sighed. "Fine. But only because he's no further use to me. Wouldn't tell me a single thing about getting off the Isle." She grabbed the piece of string around her neck and lifted it over her head, revealing the clunky silver key on the end of it. She crouched next to Janus. "Give me your hands." She muttered, undo the handcuffs. "There you go. Now run along before I change my mind." She stood up. "Was there anything else you needed or was this just a half-baked rescue mission?"

"It was just a rescue mission." Remus said, poking his head out from behind the rocks. "And thanks. I didn't exactly want to punch the nerd."

"Former nerd." Violet said, her face unphased but her voice had a bite to it. "Now run along, the lot of you." Janus jumped up and ran over to Remus, grabbing his hand. No one else moved. Violet rolled her eyes and turned away. "Cerberus! Here boy!"

"Shit. Run." Luella hissed, jumping down from the rock and speeding out of the cave.

"Lu! You're back!" Jessie yelled, jumping off of a rock he'd been sitting on.

"Aw, were you worried about me, Jessie?" Luella asked playfully. Jessie shook his head vehemetly.

"No. Just got bored. Hi Re and Re's boyfriend." Jessie said, smiling.

"That all?" Luella asked. Remus nodded.

"Thanks Lu."

Luella smiled. "No problem. Abandonies stick together. We'll be going now."

"Bye." Remus said. When the Scar siblings were out of earshot, he turned to Janus. "Don't you ever do that again, Blondie."

Janus laughed slightly. "Yeah, I'll try never to get kidnapped again."

"I'm serious, Blondie. I don't want to lose you."

Janus cracked a small smile. "Okay. I'll be careful. Don't want to lose you either."

DONE! This chapter is done. Was that very anti-climactic? Kinda, yeah. I just didn't want to A, hurt the snek boi and B, villainise one of my Sides. Violet is my Logic and she'd be pretty offened if I made her hurt her favourite Side. Anyway,
Bye,
Queenie
