   "I would like to commemorate this day to the following people that have passed in this world. These people have been family and friends at heart and I would like to honor them for their lives and that they didn't die in vain. I dedicate today to Christopher Micheal Van Douser, Donovan Marcus Smith, Joliene Veronica Lane Adams and finally Katarina Marie White. Each of them have given up their only lives for each of us. We must remember them and how they have given us the greatest gift and sacrifice," I spoke while finishing my speech to the sea of black clothing in front of me. I cleared my throat and started to exit from the podium to place my flowers in respects to the four tomb stones. Behind me was Xander with his bouquet of flowers and some people trailing behind him.

   I gently set down the mixtures of flowers for each person next to their respected tomb stones. Their bodies weren't under them of course, but we wanted to place their stones here for their memory. In the middle of the Los Angeles Cemetery.

   At our small ceremony, we had Xander here with me and Dad, Teresa, Leona, Bryce and Melina. There was also Xander's entire gang here along with some of my siblings from the now fallen Assassin Agency. Some have chosen to keep fighting so they have joined Xander's gang and others have decided to make of career of themselves.

   It had been three weeks since we killed Johnathon. Even though it was recently, it had seemed so long ago that he died. Truthfully, I think he died the day he left his family and became a new man. A more gruesome and ruthless man.

   There are some times where I think about my mother. I ponder the thought of her caring and motherly attitude towards me. The way she would frustrating sigh when I would do something wrong and how she would be my best friend for when I need romance help. She is my mother but she isn't here with me anymore. But I don't let her absence harm me since Dad always told me that she wanted us to be strong for her.

   A few more people were placing their respects next to all four of their tomb stones while Xander squeezed my hand comfortingly. The fabric of his tailored black suit rubbed against my bare arm. A part of both of us were hurting but we have managed to keep moving forward with each other by our side.

   "They will be remembered Kitten," he soothingly whispered into my ear.

   I only nodded my head in response to him while the last few people visited the tomb stones.

   Two months later

   "Damnit Scar I can't find my heels," Leona screeched while rapidly searching for her white heels in her bath robe.

   "Leona you need to calm down," I cautiously calmed her. An angry bride on her wedding day was something I did not want to let loose on anyone. "Now go take a nice and long soothing shower. Today is the big day ma'am so you need to be clean at least."

   She let out a large and stressed breath. "Fine but please find my heels," she huffed while making her way into the grand bathroom.

   Almost three hours later and the stressed out woman is turned into a lovely bride. Her dress simple yet elegant in a pure white with matching heels that I've graciously found. Leona had her hair pinned into loose curls that had some of her strands held together in the back of her head by a barrette paired with her long veil sitting on her head like a crown. Her natural makeup had been done by Melina while I had curled her hair.

   A door opened slowly and revealed an emotional Teresa. She wore a fancy lilac and white dress paired with elegant heels. Her emotional state right now was very unstable and had only gotten worse when she had saw how beautiful Leona looked.
