Nina sighed once more. She seemed calm on the outside, but on the inside she was being torn apart. Her precious sister was dead. She would soon follow, and Diana will soon join her, as well.
"Hold on? Time out!" Diana made a T with her hands as she stood up.
"Did I just hear the word, kill? Mom? What's going on?"
"We're a family of assassins."
"And... that is..."
"People who kill other people. Professionally. For a price."

Back in her room, Celina didn't budge. Even when her own twin brother entered the room, she didn't want to move. She felt the weight shift on the bed when her brother sat down next to her.
She curled up next to her brother, and for some reason.. she couldn't stop crying. All of her emotions were rushing all at once and she didn't know how to control it.
She felt angry because her aunt and cousin were killed, hurt and deprived of happiness because her surname is nothing but a code for murder, she just felt lost and trapped.
Celina crying is a rare occurrence, being that she has a personality like her mother, who didn't cry much herself.

James held his sister tight as she cried. "I'm sorry, Celina... For everything..." He knew he had to do better. Marilyn was right about him, yet again. It was time to think outwardly. He sat his twin sister up, and gave her a little smile. "No matter what happens... We have eachother..." James heard his father calling him, "Just a sec..!" he yelled. He looked back at his sister, and hugged her neck. "We'll be okay... I love you." He then went to see what his father wanted...
----
Chris turned, "James..! Celina..! Come here, Please..!" He said a bit loud. He turned back towards the eldest Williams. "I'm sorry... I didn't know you kept it from her." He said. He sighed, "M--" He stopped for a moment. His own eldest daughter probably used an alias for a reason. "Victoria..!" Marilyn walked in, to see Nina. She stopped for a moment, "Yes..?" He motioned for her to come sit next to him, and she followed suit. After she sat, Chris turned to Nina. "Nina, this is my daughter, Victoria... It's a little complicated." Marilyn rolled her eyes, "It's really not." She sighed.
"Chris has asked me to take him out. I'm guessing he regrouped with his father to plan another attack. He killed Anna, and judging from what I saw, Liam killed her son first to distract her."
Chris' head hung down. His daughter spoke of Anna's death so casually. His mother really raised her to be the child she always wanted...
"I take it she is your daughter, Nina..?" Marilyn asked. "They'll probably come for your children, is basically what I'm getting at." She said. "Since that seemed to work in taking Anna out."
Chris looked at Marilyn, "Do you believe Liam will try to kill James..?"
Mari pursed her lips in thought, "Possibly... But I don't think you just spend years with a person without having to feel conflicted. He'll probably go for Celina... Or.." She stopped, about to suggest he'd go after the naive girl sitting across from her. "Or he might make it look like he's going to kill him to distract you and Marcella."
Marilyn began to think, and her puzzled expression got Chris' attention. "What is it..?"
"Well, from what I know... Lillian and Eliot were just after the three of you... I don't know if killing... Sorin right..?" She asked. Chris nodded, and Marilyn continued. "... Killing him was part of the plan..." She thought for a moment. "Who all was there that day..? When grandma died..?"
Chris sat back... "Sorin and Anna... Nina, Myself... and Marcella...." He cursed to himself.
"Change of plans, Victoria.." Chris said. Marilyn looked at him confused. "You need to stay here, and protect them..."
Marilyn nodded. "Of course. Do what you need to do." Chris looked at Nina, "I'll take Eliot..." He looked to Nina. James finally came in, "Yes, dad..?" Chris looked at Nina's daughter. "This is my son, you cousin, James..." He looked at James. "Would you please take Nina's daughter into the kitchen for some food, and to maybe explain..?" James nodded, and smiled a little at her. It was nice to have a distraction.

Hearing her father call her name, Celina slugged out of her bed and walked into the kitchen where her father was. Her eyes were red, and puffy from crying so hard, she tried her best to disguise it but there was no use for that.
"Y-yes daddy? Did you need me for something?" Her voice was low and almost lifeless. She was struggling internally, emotionally and physically.

Nina nodded as Diana was still confused. When Chris apologized for telling Diana about what was going on, as Nina was fine. The girl had to find out somehow. Some way. But Nina didn't expect it to be today. But Nina never imagined Anna would die at the hands of the Crawfords, or even by their son for that matter. She never cared for the Crawfords, but now she wants them to pay for what they did to Anna. She didn't care that they killed Sorin. But they killed Anna.
Diana was speechless and confused. She didn't know how to react, as she took everything in. Was she going to die? What's going on?
"But I haven't even gotten a date for prom!"
Thankfully, James gave them a break, allowing Diana to go away for a little bit. She really didn't understand everything. All this talk of killing and murdering and assassinating? Is this why her mom's always away? Diana makes her way into the kitchen and takes a seat.
"Please tell me this isn't true!"
"She's grown up to be quite like her." Nina huffed. "And I agree, there's nothing complicated about this."

"Prom is the least of that girl's worries now..." Mari said. Chris shook his head a little, and turned to his other daughter when she asked what he needed. "Go with your brother into the kitchen, and explain what's going on to your cousin, please..." James took Diana into the dining room, and sat down next to her. "Apparently Victoria was the only one of us who knew about all of this..." James said to his younger cousin. He frowned. "Have you ever even met our Aunt Anna and cousin Sorin..?" He asked her. "Daniel is in the guest room, but... He's asleep."
---
Chris looked at Marilyn and Nina. "We need to figure out where we can put them until Liam and Eliot are dealt with." Mari looked at her father, "What about the mansion in Dublin..?"
Chris shook his head, "They'd expect that."
Marilyn crossed her legs, and sat back. "Your mother had that place built like a fortress. It's the best shot we have. You should know there's a safehouse in the basement for situations like this..." Chris sighed. He knew she was right. However, would the kids go through with this? Would Marcella go for this..?
"What about Daniel..?" He asked.
"I think the decision to go with us, or stay here should be up to him. He has his right to want revenge." She said.
Chris looked to his eldest sister, "Do you want your daughter to accompany my children to Dublin..?" He asked, and then turned back to Marilyn, "Go ask Marcella to come here, please." Marilyn pursed her lips, and stood. She went to her father and step-mother's bedroom, and gave a light knock on the door. "Marcella..." She asked. "Chris needs to speak with you." She said.

"Okay, I just don't understand it! I never could see Mom being a killer! Or Auntie and Sorin! This can't be right? I mean yeah, Mom's a weirdo. But that doesn't mean she's a killer! She doesn't have that psychopathic laugh or keep dead bodies in jars... unless... Mom's a secret CANNIBAL! That's why she's always away! She's eating people! It all makes sense now. Mom had sex with Dad and ate him after she was done! It all makes sense now..." Diana took a deep breath and sighed.
"And I'm the oddball..."
"Yeah. I remember that place very well. They may be expecting us there, but as you mentioned it is worth a shot, though someone has to stay behind and guard the kids. Diana is too self-asorbed in herself. She's not much of a fighter. She obviously needs protecting."
"Do you want your daughter to accompany my children to Dublin..?"
"That would be her best bet. As I mentioned earlier, Diana is too self-asorbed. She really needs the protection."

Celina joined her brother and cousin like her father told her to do, she sat at one of the bar stool chairs and looked over at James and Diana, though, she didn't say much, if not anything at all. --- Hearing the knock on her door, Marcella opened the door to find Victoria standing behind it, she told Marcella that Chris wanted to see her, and that it was something important. She nodded, and exited her room and made her way into the living room with everyone else. Her attention was directed at her husband, "Yes Chris? Victoria said you needed me?"

James gave Diana a puzzled expression. "No... Your mom is eating anyone... Atleast I hope not... And Sorin wasn't an assassin... The only ones were Dad, Aunt Nina, Aunt Anna, and I'm pretty sure our sister Victoria is aswell.." He crossed his arms, trying not to think of his cousin or aunt. He bit his lip, and looked at his sister. He knew she was having a difficult time. Of course she was! He smiled a little at her.
He then turned back to Diana, "Oddballs aside, they will figure it out..."
Atleast he hoped so.
---
Marilyn returned to the living room with Marcella, Chris, and Nina. she sat down next to her father. Chris turned to his wife, "Marcella..." He stood up, and walked to her. "We believe you and the kids should go to my mother's mansion in Dublin..." he frowned, and looked down. "They may come after you aswell..." He would die if anything ever happened to Marcella. "Victoria will be there to protect you and the kids, while Nina and I figure this out..."
Marilyn looked over at Marcella, "There's a safehouse in the basement. Nobody except for us can get in or out. Grandmother made sure of that. Besides, It's the best option we have to ensure your safety." She said.
Chris sighed, "However, I'm leaving the final decision to you. Since James and Celina are your children aswell..." He put his hands on her shoulders. "I would die if anything happened to you."

Marcella didn't have to think about whether she wanted to stay here or not. If the option of going to Dublin secured her safety and the twins' as well, she would have no problem going, as long as it meant they were even an inch out of harms way.
Her hazel eyes looked into her husband's, no thought needed, "Yes. We will go to Dublin. If that's what I have to do to protect my children, then by all means. When are we leaving? I can pack my bags tonight if need be."

"If you say so..." Diana said. "I just hope things get better just in time for prom."
"So it's settled. I am going to start packing Diana's things. That should keep her occupied until all of this is over."

Chris nodded, "I'll let the kids know." He walked into the dining area. "James, Celina, Diana..." He sighed, "I need for you three to pack your things. I'm going to send you to my childhood home in Dublin..." James looked at him confused, "What..!?" Chris put his finger up, "It's for your protection... You'll be with your mother, and Victoria.."
James crossed his arms. "No way I'm going to Ireland. I need to confront Liam... For what he did...!" James was furious. Chris shook his head, "Son, I know you're angry... But this is what is going to happen. Nina and I are going to take care of this." He frowned. "I'm sure Anna wanted to be buried next to our father anyways..."
James stood up. "Please, dad... Let me stay.. Let me confront Liam..!"
"No..! That's final." Chris walked to his son, and hugged him. "I need you safe. Go with your sisters and your cousin. Please.." Chris looked at his son, pleading with him with his eyes.
James hung his head down. "Fine.."
----
Meanwhile Marilyn was still in the room with Marcella. She looked over at Nina, and then back at her step-mother. "Have James or Celina even seen the mansion?" She asked. "Might be something they'd like, seeing where Chris grew up.."

In her room, Marcella started packing her bags, she didn't know how long she was going to be in Dublin for but as long as it kept her family safe, she wouldn't have any problems.
Marilyn helped her pack, and asked a few questions regarding the children and their father's home back in Ireland.
"I told Celina and James about the mansion but that was way back when. Probably back in their elementary school years, so it's been a while. But as far as seeing it? No they have not."

Diana didn't like the new plan. She still needed a date.
"But Nina! I still have a life."
"Diana, do you want to die? Do you want to end up like your aunt and Sorin? Do you?"
"N-no."
"Exactly. Now unless you want to die, go ahead, stay here. But my best bet is that you come with us to Ireland. Once this is over, life will go on."
Diana had nothing more to say. She really did want a date, but it was whatever. Nothing was going to change that woman's mind.

James had just finished packing when he went into his father's room to see his father and elder sister discussing what was happening, and the plans. He stared on, and sighed. He walked to the basement of their home, and sat on the weight bench. Tears began to fill his eyes, and they streamed down his face. His heart burned from not only Sorin and Aunt Anna's deaths, but Liam's betrayal aswell.
He sobbed into his hands, and shook a bit.
Meanwhile, Marilyn looked on as Marcella and Chris packed a few things for their trip to the Williams mansion.
"Nothing's changed in the mansion." She said. "Grandmother didn't want anything to be changed..."
Chris laughed a little, "Of course she didn't, I always wondered who she left the house to... Are the paintings still in the living room..?" He asked.
Marilyn nodded, "Yes."
"James would probably like that, since he's so fascinated by my family history." He said.
---
After pulling himself together, James finally went into the guest room. He knocked lightly, before opening the door. Daniel was standing in front of the window. He was gazing out looking at the moonlight.
"Daniel..?" He said. "We're going to Ireland... Do you..? Wanna come with us..?" He asked. Daniel remained silent.
