Few weeks later everyone was still recovering from the attack. Shelby would not leave her daughters side. Whenever Sierra wanted to go anywhere Shelby had to carry her. They both didn't mind it go because she carried her on her shoulders like a piggyback ride.
Amelia had to learn how to walk slowly and needed to be reminded to not move to fast because of her neck and ribs. Ryker tried to help with the children as much as he could while also helping with recovering the mansion. Marcus came over as much as he could to check on everything. One morning while Shelby was outside with her daughters Mason interrupted them.
Mason: Shelby the people have become restless.
Shelby sets Sierra down by a tree.
Shelby: why?
Mason: its been a week since the attack and you have done nothing to plan for a revenge strike. When will you start planning for revenge?
Shelby: I dont know
Mason: you don't know! The fuck Shelby. They tried to kill your daughters. They killed 50 people and injured more.You promised these people peace and now they are questioning your leadership and your loyalty.
Shelby: you dont think I remember what I promised because I remember. I am still haunted by the faces of thr dead. The question is where do your loyalty lie?
Mason: with you, you know that. Shelby we need to strike now. We need to take revenge.
Shelby: you want revenge? Then go. Take your revenge. Take whoever you want just go.
Mason left. Within an hour he had 40 men plus his twin brother, Ryker, Bethany, kevin, Matt, Kathryn, and Damien. They left as soon as possible.
Back outside
Amelia: mommy why do you not want to fight now
Shelby: because I'm still figuring out a plan where all of us come out alive. The Youngblood's are hunters. They don't care who they kill. Whether its an innocent animal or a new born baby. They kill without a thought and without regret.
Sierra: I'm scared mommy
Shelby: baby I promise I'd never let them hurt you again. I love you both so much I will do anything within my power to keep you safe.
Not long after Shelby could hear distant screaming. She heard people pleading for their lives. One she recognized automatically. It was Ryker.
Shelby: Marigold watch the children. Johnathan keep watch over the mansion this might be a trap but I hear screams of pain.
Johnathan: I got this go
Shelby raced out of the mansion as fast she could. When she got there she saw that 30 lay dead. 25 were her people. She say that Bethany, Kevin, and Matt were severely injured. She placed her hands on the three of them and told them to take the dead back to the mansion using the flat bed of the Dartz Prombrons. Then she raced off to find the others. When she found them. They were fighting. Most of them were covered in cuts and bruises. Most were soaked in blood. They all were failing. They all were about to get shot or stabbed until Shelby started to sing her lure song.
Shelby: we lay my love and i beneath the weeping willow. But now alone I lie and weep beside the tree. Singing 'oh willow waly' by the tree that weeps with me. Singing'oh willow waly'till my lover return to me. We lay my love and I beneath the weeping willow. A broken heart have I. Oh willow I die, oh willow I die.
Her voice distracts them long enough for Mason and those still alive to kill them with the strength they have left.
Mason: Shelby I...
Shelby: I don't want to hear it Mason. I warned. I warned you what would happened. Now 25 people are dead and now I have to figure out if I can bring them back. Youngblood's aren't mafia. They live for the kill. They are people who have lost everything and have nothing else to live for. They don't care who they kill. You understand. I have been trying to find a way to kill them without anyone else dying. Why the hell do you think i haven't taken action yet. I could defeat them by myself if I used my powers. But I don't want to. I want to win this war together.
Mason: I'm sorry
Shelby: your sorry huh. Sorry doesn't bring back those innocent people. A real leader does not think of their own grievances but of their peoples. They think of their peoples lives. They go over every risk and every senorio till they find an outcome where most of their people survive. In this case where all of them survive. No we are going back to the mansion and we are going to put our heads together. Understood!
Mason: yes Shelby
Shelby: now no more mutines get the fuck back to the mansion
