Down by the docks was peaceful in the daytime. The rain was holding off making the day seem dreary as men and women of the mafia walked the streets making pretty pennies and quick bucks here and there.  Click click click.... the sound of feet walking across the concrete. The alley was were a young girl left with a batch she had just sold. A group of people followed the girl away from the street. She was humming white hair framing curled and swaying as she moved. As though nothing had happened, she made her rounds making some cash as she went. 

The later the day the heavier the clouds got. Darkening the clouds, rain slowly started to spill wetting the ground. large puddles as the tides on the shore roll in heavily. She moved closer to the shores and walked closer to the end of the docks staring out as the dark sky lighting up with electric spikes in the sky. Thunder rolling she could not catch the steps walking closer till she turned around and saw a group in front of her. People... People her mother trusted the most, at least the people her mother knew and trusted. Standing she stepped back before being grabbed by the collar.

"Aye, this the kid?" The male asked his buddies.

"Yes, that's the kid, what kind of lesson shall we teach her?" Said another.

Lavander stood her toes touching the dock as she was held up by the collar of her dress.  A gun was pulled and aimed at her head, being spoken to harshly, "Give us your money." That was that, she dug her nails into the mans wrist gritted her teeth and grinned. "You will have to take it." She squeezed forcing him to release her collar. Pushing herself away she fell back and watched as their hands shot forward to grab her which in the end was unable to be done. She hit the water with a splash losing her breath as she fell. Sucking in the water as she sunk. They quickly turned tail and left, "Not worth our lives finding that brat."

Lavander came back up sputtering when she hit the surface. Swimming back to shore she dragged herself up away from the water before turning over on her back worn out. Coughing she grinned and decided to relax as the storm carried on, she let her mind wander as she rested in the downpour of the night.
