||ADELEI COLEMAN

Adelei sat across from Azaria with a bored facial expression. Truth be told, Adelei didn't care what happened to Azaria. She just didn't want to get caught in the crossfires of a war that could happen.

"All I'm saying is, mind your business and there won't be any problems." Azaria said as she mugged Adelei.

"Bitch," Adelei looked at Azaria like she was crazy. "And all I'm saying is, mind who you talking to or watch ya shit get flipped."

Azaria eyes flickered from brown to blue and back again, that is until she heard the click of a gun.

"I'd think before I act, we don't want your brains to be splattered all on my nicely painted walls." Adelei had the gun pointed straight at Azaria's head.

Adelei didn't take blood on her floors or walls kindly. She worked hard for what she had, and for someone to have the audacity to bleed on her property. Hmph, they didn't want to have to find out what she would do to them.

Azaria had faltered and played around far too long. If she didn't choose her words carefully, Adelei would kill her dead.

"Think about what you're doing," Azaria tried to appeal to Adelei's sane side. "If you do this, my sister will most likely come and kill you."

"I don't have no problems with your sister, but I will gladly kill her too if she wanna get crazy." Adelei didn't care who you were, if your name wasn't Rayven and you stepped to her crazy, you'd lose your life.

||APRIL VALTORE

April sat with Asani on her couch as they talked. April was sure they were keeping secrets from her, she just wasn't sure what kind of secrets.

"Asani, just tell me what I know you're hiding." April prodded.

"I thought I said to just leave it," she could tell Asani was slowly becoming annoyed with her prying ways.

"Why are you talking to me like this?" April was on the brink of tears, and it was pissing Asani off.

She knew her tears would get Asani to tell her whatever he wasn't saying. But she never expected him to become short fused with her.

"Cut that shit out, stop all that manipulative shit. Okay?" Sometimes she forgot Asani was a psychiatrist.

"I wasn't trying to manipulate you," April got up from where she was sitting and climbed into Asani's lap.

"April, I don't know what kind of men you're used to dealing with, but I won't allow you to think you got some type of hold on me." She could tell Asani was being serious with her. "I'm an honorable man and you know I don't believe in talking to woman any kind of way, but don't push me." April could hear the warning in Asani's tone, and that scared her yet excited her.

He was right, she wasn't used to dealing with men like Asani. Asani was on a whole different spiritual level. April would have to find out some other way, but she wasn't going to push him again.

||KOFI AZURE

"How is she?" Storm asked on the phone.

"She's still sleep, but she finally stopped crying." Kofi said in a low voice so he don't wake Kaius up.

"What happened when you got there?" Kofi could tell Storm was worried about Kaius.

"When I got here I found her in the shower, crying her eyes out as she cradled her bleeding hands. I took her out the shower and waited until she stopped crying to bandage her knuckles. Now she's asleep with her head on my lap." Kofi sighed as he thought about how he witnessed Kaius.
