"TELL ME WHY EVERYTHING WE HAVE MUST END LIKE THIS! FIRST AUNT MEL, NOW XAVIER!" Elias yelled while pacing the floor. His uncle, Oma, and a few others had dragged Xavier away before anything else could happen, and at the moment, they didn't know if he was dead or alive. It was killing Elias inside.
"Lias, you need to calm down! Xavier will be okay. I know he will because I can still feel him.... Auntie, was you shot?" Xylia asked, looking back at Heaven's bleeding arm. Surprisingly, she had to look at her arm and touch it before replying.
"I didn't even feel it. I-it went through him to me a-and I-I didn't feel it. Oh my god, they shot him twice... no three or four times. Shit, I don't know."
"Okay... okay... okay! Stop! Everyone, stop! Xavier is okay. He's okay—Shanice, where is she?" Xylia spoke, looking around for her sister-in-law, but Sly was nowhere to be found. This wasn't the time for her pregnant ass to run off, so Xy quickly went looking for her. Only to find her sitting alone in the hall outside of the room they were in.
"Shy...."
"I-I know what I saw, Xy... He-he was shot in the head. Xavier was shot in the head. I know you saw you saw it too. You can say what you like; I want you to believe it. How can I... How can we go on without him." She spoke, making Xylia bend to her level, taking her into her arms, as she hugged her tightly. Xylia knew what everyone saw; she saw it too, but Xy could still feel her brother until it was his babies she was feeling. Either way, Xylia wasn't going to give up hope.
"We don't know that...."
"ELIAS!" Yejide yelled. Xylia didn't have to move to know what was going on. He was seizing, which was something he hadn't done in years. However, his dad and their aunts were there with him, and they all knew what to do. Right now, Shanice was the one that needed her, and Barkley must have sensed it too.
"Shanice, yuh and my Empress need to get off the floor. Mi know it's hard, but we are here for yuh Shy. Whatever the outcome is, we are here for yuh. My Empress and I are here... Come and sit with me." He spoke softly, holding his hands for the two of them to take. Shanice hesitated at first, but eventually, she took Barkley's hand, and he led them over to some chairs to sit, hugging them both. Somewhere between that time, Xylia fell asleep only to wake up to a pain in her heart.
"NO!"
"EMPRESS, CALM DOWN! MI GOT YUH! I GOT YOU!"

"Xerxes, you need to get some rest. I know what you are thinking but you... we need everything we could. You can't be at your best if you are restless, Xerxes." X knew his mother didn't mean to come off like she did, but it angered him. This was her grandson they were talking about. His son and he couldn't do shit! He let his child down, and this wasn't going unpunished. There was no way in hell he was about to go and sit this one out. Xerxes needed to know who was behind this and may them pay with their lives.
"That's bullshit, and THAT... that was a bitch ass move! They shot him point blank in front of a fucking crowd in his fucking underwear! Four fucking times Ma... four fucking times, and all you can say is we did what we could. Fuck that! I'm getting revenge for my son. This will not go unheard." He yelled quickly, turning and kissing Xavier's head before leaving with Adele behind him.
