"Y/n. Please, please come out and at least eat something." Alpha pleads behind the door. It's been one week. Seven days, two hours, fifty-four minutes, and thirty nine seconds to be exact, "Alpha go away." You yell at the wood, separating you and the outside world. Alpha sighs, "He wouldn't want you to be like this." He continues. You start crying again, "ALPHA GO AWAY!" You scream louder, your powers set off a blast of light from your room. Aether jumped back. Finally giving up, he walks away. Terzo's onstage execution was coming. Everyone knew he would die eventually, but being backstage and reaching for him, desperately trying to save your husband was too much. His eyes showed a mix of love, acceptance, fear, and yet relief. Almost like he was happy to leave. Your brain replays the memory...

"TERZO!" You scream running at the two men dragging your husband away, "Mi cara I love you. I love you more than anything." Terzo strains, trying to free himself from their grip. He pushes both men to the ground. He slips away and falls into your arms, "Come on, come on run!" You say, desperately trying to save him, but he holds you to his chest, "It's inevitable mi cara, be strong, I'm with you always." You cry, grabbing him, praying that he leaves with you, "Terzo there is still time, there is still time please." You beg, the two men standing now, "No, mi cara, no. Please make my last moments happy." He leans to kiss you. You melted into his arms, your hand tangled into his hair. His arms kept you pressed to his chest like it was the last time he would hold you, because it was. You both kiss each other with enough passion to fulfill a lifetime. He starts to get pulled back, "I love you, I love you Y/n" He screams, still struggling against the two men pulling him away. You go to run, but two pairs of arms hold you back, "NO TERZO NO, I LOVE YOU PLEASE" You scream, desperately trying to escape the men's grasp, "TERZO!" You yell his name as he is dragged into the darkened hallway. You hear his voice for the last time, "I LOVE YOU, Y/N. I PROMISE I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN, I SWEAR!" You hear him yell, then silence. You collapse onto your knees. Alpha and Omega run backstage and shoo the two men away from you. Your grief was too strong, you kept yelling, cursing Satan, cursing the church, and cursing life.

You cry more and more, clinging onto Terzo's Papa robes. They smell like his cologne. The little comfort they gave was not enough for you to function. You couldn't eat, sleep, or leave the room. There was no other Emeritus son, so the Cardinal is going to take over, but you have to be at Terzo's funeral, which was in one day, or in a few hours. There was a sudden knock on the door. Before you could get up, the wood swung open. Sister Imperator, Alpha, Omega, and Water stand in the doorway. You look up, tears still streaming down your face and onto the robes you're clinging to your chest, "Evening y/n." Sister says.

You let out a growl, your eyes turn red. The ghouls take a step back, they've seen your rage and they knew to not fuck around with it, "I need Terzo's robes." She informs, walking towards you. Like a scared animal, you hold them closer to your chest and move as far back on the bed as possible, "No. No he's mine. These are mine." You spit back. She keeps walking into the room, the ghouls now surround the bed, "We need them for his funeral." She says coldly, starting to grab the robes. You rip her hand off with your right hand, your left still clinging to the fabric, "No, you killed him. YOU killed your own son. Let me keep ONE piece of him. ONE thing of his. He wore this for this Satan damn church. The SAME church that plotted his murder. You are a sick woman, a terrible mother, and above all else, you are a BITCH" You spit on her with the last sentence, clinging back to the last item of your husband's, this church hasn't burned. Sister glared, "Hold her back." She commands the ghouls. You snap your neck around to the men, "No. Don't you touch me." Alpha puts his hand on your shoulder. You quickly slap it off and scream, "ALPHA I SWEAR TO SATAN" you threaten, your eyes turn to slits. Alpha steps back, "What are you waiting for ghoul? You work for me." Sister commands, her hand now grabbng his robes. You lunge for her, but Omega pulls you back by your waist. You still grip his robes, your knuckles turning white, "OMEGA STOP!" You scream, starting to loose your grip, you go to kick him, but he pins you against the bed, Alpha holds your legs. They struggled against your fight. You keep screaming 'no' and curses at the group. Water sighs and moves to hold your arms. You scream as your grip loosens. Sister grabs the robes. You are unconsolable. The three men keep you pinned down, "Thank you for your cooperation, Y/n" She pauses before saying your lastname, "L/n" You scream and curse her out, she didn't address you as Emeritus, "MY NAME IS Y/N EMERITUS YOU FUCKING BITCH. ADDRESS ME CORRECTLY YOU SCUM" You yell at her back while she exits the room.
