Eric allowed Ely to take the bear from him, she welcomed him in and upon stepping into the estate, Eric shut the door behind him. He knew there was something off about Ely, he expected no less, especially since she lost one of the most important figures in her life.
She instructed him on the whereabouts of a whiskey bottle, and based upon the irony where it was located, made Eric feel even more guilty, as to the fact that he knew that he can't help her at the point.
Taking out a small shot glass, Eric opened the whiskey bottle and poured the contents into the cup, He walked over to Ely and handed her the glass, and sat down next to her, there was an awkward silence that crept over them...
It wasn't like them to be silent with each other..

Her eyes looked down at the glass, and she took it. Without a second thought, she drank it. She didn't even flinch. She held the glass tightly in her hand. Suddenly, she turned, and violently threw the shot glass at the wall. She let out a painful wail, as she fell to her knees. Her body felt weak, as she laid on the floor, crying violently. Her heart was in so much pain, her nails dug into the floor.
She pulled herself up onto her hands and knees, she looked up. She peered into the fire.
"I need you to kill me..." Her eyes were red, as she turned to Eric.
"The two most important people to me are gone... and I have nothing to live for..." She stood up. She picked up a blade that hung above the fireplace. She handed it to him. She turned away, moving her ivory hair from the back of her neck.
"Just don't get blood on the rug...." Tears started falling again. "Grandmother would get upset...."

When Ely handed Eric the blade, he felt his heart beat increase, he doesn't have the power to kill someone let alone the will to. It would hurt him too much, instead he slowly became angry at Elysium.
He dropped the blade, and placed it where she wouldn't be able to reach it so that she wouldn't get any ideas...
"Are you out of your mind!?" Eric exclaimed as he grabbed Ely by her shoulders and forced her to look at him, "Dammit Ely, I can't kill you! Do you know how that would make me feel, living on each day knowing that I ended your life?? I minus well be dead with you!"
He stared at her, his eyes meant nothing but seriousness. "Do you understand..how much that would hurt me?! No! I'm not killing you!"
He placed on his jacket, and started to walk towards the door...

Eric shook her, angry. She grit her teeth. "You wouldn't put a wounded animal out of it's misery!?" She yelled out. She ran up to him, slamming the door shut. "That is cruel..." Her voice shook. She looked at his bruised lip from the night before. She reached out, grazing her fingertips over the injury. "I-i..." Her mind began to wander. "I have something that can cover that up..." She mumbled. She rummaged through the drawers in the living room, pulling out the shelves completely. Tools, wood, and old antiques fell to the floor.
"She always said never leave the house with a bruised face..." She held her head, as she felt a dull headache coming on. "There's foundation... somewhere..." She said, quietly.
She wandered around the living area, making a mess, confused.
She stumbled on the portrait once more, looking up at it. "She used to hold me every night..." She said. "After my mother was murdered, she was the one... who was there..." Her voice cracked. "Life is cruel..." She turned to him. "But life has no meaning..."
She looked down. "Leave if you must... I know the sight is too much to bare..." She walked towards him. "Everyone always walks away..." She whispered. She put her hands on up to her head, rubbing it.

Eric sighed to himself, he started to remove his jacket and placed it on the staircase. It would be wrong to leave her in state of mentality.
Slowly, he walked over to her, his hands up not wanting to show any harm or harsh decisions. He wanted to show her that he cared for her well being, wanted her to know that she wasn't alone in this.
He carefully, placed her hands at her side and pulled her in, hugging her tightly. "Elysium..." He started to say, "This isn't the way things are supposed to go.." He pulled her away so that he could look into her eyes, "I'm here for you okay? Please.. just trust me.."
For some reason, he felt tears well up in his eyes, he wanted her to come back to reality, and realize that this situation can be worked out. Maybe.. just maybe, he cared too much??

She looked up at him confused. "You don't have to stay for my benefit..." She said, quietly. She leaned against the wall, sliding down till she hit the floor. She straightened her legs. "You can't tell daddy about this..." Her eyes widened, "He'll put me back in that place..." She looked at the floor, "I'm Supposed..." She placed her index finger on her temple, "I'm supposed to be doing something..." She squeezed her eyes shut.
"Remember, my sweet Elysium... Take this every morning... It is important..."
Johanna's vice rung through her head. She pursed her lips. "I need to.. take something...?" She asked to herself. She looked at Eric, like a lost child. "I don't know what to do.." She started crying. "I-I Can't let anyone see me this way..." She shook her head, "They're gonna..." She took a deep breath.
She looked at him, "Have they sent you to take me back...?" She asked him.

Eric became increasingly worried about Elysium, with each minute that passed he felt as though he was losing her. Out of complete desperation at this point, Eric pulled out his phone and called the one person who could possibly give him the answers he needed to help Ely out..
Her father, Chris.
"Dammit Chris...pick up the phone..." Eric muttered to himself as he waited for Chris to answer the call. He rested his head, face first near a wall, closing his eyes. Waiting wasn't his greatest trait.

"Hello...?" Chris answered.
Elysium slumped in her corner. She got up, and walked into the kitchen. She picked up a medicine bottle with her name on it. She set it back down, looking at Eric. She didn't know what to believe. Her mind was going so fast she couldn't keep up. She looked around, "Water..." She was getting somewhere, but she couldn't see what exactly it was she was supposed to do.

Chris answered. Thank God. "Uh..Hey Mr.Williams, this is Eric Hasson. I know this is probably the last voice you want to hear at the moment.."
He paused, to recollect his thoughts, "I wanted to stop by and check on Ely...I-I dammit..I mean Elysium being that she told me about the passing of her grandmother. There is something going on with her that I can't quite understand.. As if she isn't fond of reality anymore, and it's starting to worry me.."
He sighed, "Can we place our differences aside.. for the sake of Elysium and help her?"

"I'll be right over." Chris said before hanging up. It wasn't too long before he returned to the Estate, rushing in. He was calm, but quick as he walked through the house. "Elysium..?" He called out. He reached into her purse on the coffee table, pulling out her meds. She hadn't taken her medicine in four days. He sighed, closing his eyes.
He walked into the kitchen, to find her in the closet. She was holding a glass of water, shaking.
He knelt down and handed her the pills, "You need to take these, honey...." He said. She nodded, taking the three pills from his hand. SHe put them in her mouth and drank her water.
He picked her up off of the ground, and carried her to her bedroom. "Get some rest..." He kissed the top of her head, and waited for her to fall asleep before he returned to Eric and Marcella. He gave a genuine look at Eric, "Thankyou for calling me..." He said. He crossed his arms, turning to Marcella.
"There's something you don't know about my daughter... something I'm scared of happening to Celina..." He said.

"No problem sir." Eric responded to Chris politely, before placing his hands in his pockets and leaning against the nearest wall, truthfully, he wanted to go check on Ely, but figured that wouldn't be the best thing to do as of now.
--
"What's that?" Marcella said to Chris, her eye showing genuine concern for the well-being of their daughter, whatever Chris had to tell her, it was seemly serious.

Chris took a deep breath. "Ely suffers from Bipolar Disorder." He paused. "She had a break from reality when her mother died..." He frowned. "It would appear she's had that same episode..." He crossed his arms, looking at Eric, "This is why I'm so protective of her. She's very fragile, when it comes to certain things..." He said.
He sighed, "I'll give you a chance, but if you screw up, I'll kill you." He said to Eric. "I need to go back to the hospital to see if there is any updates on Lillian... Can you stay here and check on her every so often?" Chris asked Eric.
While he was worried about his daughter, his sister could potentially die. He needed to be there with her. Elysium would be okay, she always was.

Elise had picked up Katya from the arcade as she then was later dropped off at the Williams Estate. She was supposed to help Daniel find some notes. That was her mission and end goal. She really just wanted to go home and lay down since her side was hurting from the incident earlier, but it was fine. Plus, this is her opportunity to spend more time with Daniel... something like a... date. She sat down, waiting for Daniel to show up.

"Is this the place...?" Matsuo muttered, driving the farm truck. He looked out the window, Daniel's biological family seemed rich. "You gonna forget about us poor folk after you start living the rich life....?" He asked, jokingly. Daniel chuckled, shaking his head. "I was a little surprised that she wanted to meet here." Daniel said, "I've only known them for a little while... But I did want to see if I could get an update from my uncle on my mother's status...." He said.
Matsuo nodded. "Understandable. I'm sure she'll be found, though... I have only seen footage of Anna Williams fighting a few times, she looks like a force to be reckoned with. I sure wouldn't step up to her..." He said, grinning.
"Well, have fun on your date." Matsuo said. Daniel laughed, "I will. Tell Sylvia I said thankyou."
"Wait..." Matsuo stopped Daniel from getting out of the vehicle. "So, Sylvia told you everything...?" He asked. Daniel nodded, "She did." Matsuo nodded, "I see... Are you handling it all okay?" Daniel nodded, "I'm just trying to process it all. It's a lot to take in." He said.
"Yes, It is..." The two sat in the car for a moment, before Daniel finally gave Matsuo a quick hug. "Sylvia said she wanted an update, so... I'd go talk to her when you had the chance." Matsuo smiled. "Will do. Take it easy, and let one of us know when you're done." He said.
Daniel nodded, "I will." He got out of the car, and waved as Matsuo drove off. He walked over to Katya, smiling. "Hey...." He gave her a hug. "So, I gotta ask... Why here...? Not that I'm complaining... It just seemed odd." He laughed a little, giving her a warm smile.

Katya held Daniel as he hugged her in an embrace. It was so good to see him again. Now, things can proceed as planned.
"So, I gotta ask... Why here...? Not that I'm complaining... It just seemed odd."
"Well, my mother and I didn't know where you lived, but she knew where the Estate was and it was best to meet here. Plus, Mother told me that she accidentally left something here the last time she visited... so I though maybe I fetch it for her. And... well... it was just an excuse to hang out with you." Which is true.
