Lillian sat in the living room with a cup of tea, reading files on her father's death. "Christopher..." She started, leaning up. "Come here..." Chris sat down next to his twin sister, looking at the file. "It says here that he was poisoned..." She said. Chris sighed. "We already knew that, Lillian..." She put her hand up. "Yes, but it's a rare poison...." She flipped through, and then opened up her laptop. "It's similar to snake venom.." She said.
Chris raised his brow. "Snake venom...?" She nodded. "Have you heard from mother..?" She asked. He shook his head. "I've tried calling her a couple of times. Elysium will freak if she's not there... Hell, I might freak. It's unlike her to do this..." He said.
Lillian turned to him, "Hm... Maybe she just got caught up with work. I'm sure we'll hear from her..." She continued typing. "I'll keep looking... For the poison...." She huffed. "It's just that, if it was a snake, he wasn't murdered... It was just a horrible accident..." Chris raised a brow. "And Nina and Anna have been fighting for nothing.." He said. She nodded. "We show this to our sisters, maybe they'll finally stop squabbling and carry on with their lives..." She said.
Chris noticed the phone ringing, and answered it. "Yeah..? Anna... Hey... Nina and you are coming over here...?" He frowned. "You promise not to destroy our mother's property..?" He nodded. "Good. See you both in a little bit." He said.

Nina arrived at the estate, ready and willing to work with her sister to find their father's killer. This might be the only way to keep her off her back. Plus, Nina is going to kill that son of a bitch who killed her dad. Nina knocked on the door as she waited for her siblings to answer. The sooner this gets done, the quicker she can just get on with her life.

Chris was the one who answered the door. "Hey Nina, come in..." He said, walking to Lillian. She smiled, "Nina..." She waved over her sister "I've been doing research, we know he was poisoned, but... She showed Nina a photo of a snake. "This snake is a poisonous snake commonly found in our home country. It's venom is strikingly similar to the effect the poison had in his body..." She sighed, looking at her sister. "I don't think he was murdered, Nina... I think it was a horrible accident."
Chris nodded. "It is a theory we hadn't thought of yet..." He turned to Lillian, "Does it say snake bites in his autopsy..?" He asked her.
"It does mention two puncture marks on the side of his neck..." She said.
Chris sighed. "Looks like you and Anna have been fighting for nothing..." He said, walking to the kitchen to make a drink. Lillian rolled her eyes, "Ignore him.." She said. "This means you and Anna can finally move on... We can put this behind us."

"Impossible..." that was all Nina could say. "Do you really think a snake crawled into our home and bit father? If so, then why didn't anybody recover the snake?"
"Does it say snake bites in his autopsy..?"
"It does mention two puncture marks on the side of his neck..."
"This doesn't add up! I really doubt that the adder will just bite Father in his sleep. That's not how snakes work!"

"I'll schedule an appointment with a herpetologist, to see..." She turned to Nina. "If it's something to rule out, alone, I just want to make sure..." She said. Time passed on, as the siblings looked into various theories. Chris was looking out of the window. "What are you doing, Chris..?" She asked. He was frowning. "Anna said she was on the way here an hour ago." Lillian shook her head. "Maybe she's just fashionably late, you know how Anna is..."
Chris wasn't buying that theory. "No. This is something important to Anna. She wouldn't be.. well, herself."
Lillian turned to Nina, "Have you heard from her..?" She asked.
He went to the phone, and dialed Anna. After two rings, it went to voicemail. "She sent me to voicemail..." He turned to Lillian. "I can't believe this... She said she wanted to try to make amends with Nina... and she doesn't even show...!" He threw his phone at the couch. Lillian smiled. "Maybe we should take Nina to her..." She said.
Chris nodded. "I'm going now. You should stay here, and continue with that. See if you can get to the herpetologist today..." He turned to Nina. "You can come with me." He said.

"Good." Nina didn't know much about snakes, but what she does know is that snakes don't just crawl into people's homes and bite them. And when they do bite someone... it is still there.
"She sent me to voicemail...I can't believe this... She said she wanted to try to make amends with Nina... and she doesn't even show...!"
"Good for her. I don't care either way."
"Maybe we should take Nina to her..."
"Really? Me go to her?" Nina pointed at herself. "It's her choice she didn't show up. I don't need to be dragged into this."
"I'm going now. You should stay here, and continue with that. See if you can get to the herpetologist today... You can come with me."
"Okay... fine. I'll go with you to find Anna. Hopfully, the herpetologist believes my theory."

Nina finally arrived back at the Estate, ready to tell Lillian the news. She was in a hurry as she quickly barged in without knocking.
"Lillian! Hey! Have you managed to talk to mother, yet?"

Lillian was getting ready to go see the Herpetologist when Nina barged in. She asked if she had spoken to their mother. Lillian shook her head. "No..." She set her purse down, "Is everything alright..? You seem worried...?" She pursed her lips. "Don't let Christopher get to you, he's always a worry wart." She said.
She crossed her arms. "I take it Anna didn't want to come..?" She asked.

"She might be dead. Lillian. Dead. Mother might be dead." Nina was getting antsy.
"I take it Anna didn't want to come..?"
"No, she's dead! Just like mother! Lillian, the person who killed father, is going to kill us all! We need to hunt that son of a bitch down and kill him before you join your sister! He's hiding the body!"

It's been a quiet few years for Marcella, she'd been living in Ireland for a while with her boyfriend, Christopher Williams, they'd met through mutual friends when Marcella took a vacation out to Ireland, and they've been together ever since.
Very little is known of her past and Marcella seems to like it that way, not everyone needs to know of her mysterious past, only one who knows more than anyone would be Chris.
It was currently night time at the Williams Estate in Japan, and Marcella found herself in one of the nearby bedrooms, tucking her 3 year old daughter, Celina, into one of the beds to sleep in. She figured that it would be a long night here, and it was best that Cel would get her sleep.
Marcella went downstairs once Celina was sleep, walking into the kitchen to get something to drink she noticed that Christopher was gone, and it troubled her.
Sighing to herself, she sat down on the couch and waited for his return...

Chris had arrived back shortly after Nina did. He noticed his twin's expression when Nina told her the news. It was heartbreak. "What do you mean she's missing!?" Lillian yelled out, her voice broken. She fell into the chair, as she started to cry. She shook her head. "Was there a body..?" She asked. Chris shook his head no. "There wasn't.... but there was a splatter of blood on the wall." He turned to Nina. "Whoever did it wanted to cover their tracks."
He looked down as he walked to the other side of the room.
Lillian trembled as she dialed her mother. She started to cry more when she didn't answer. "What are we going to do..?!
Soon, Marcella came down. She asked him what was wrong. he was silent at first, but turned to her. "Anna is missing, and nobody's heard from mother since her and Lillian got here...." He frowned, beginning to cry. "We just wanted to know why our father was killed...." He then broke down in his lover's arms.

"Whoever did it wanted to cover their tracks."
"That's exactly what that annoying-ass detective said."
"What are we going to do..?!"
"We're gonna find the son of a bitch and kill him. Simple as that. We need someone to lure him out..." Nina wasn't sure who could be the bait. Someone had to lure out the killer, but someone capable of defending themselves.
"We also find mother, dead or alive... Do you know where she is staying, Lillian, or the last time you saw her?"

Upon Christopher's return, Marcella immediately shot up from the chair in concern, and ran over to help him. He looked as if he was on the verge of tears, he told her that Anna was missing and no one has heard from her.
Just when she was about to say something, Christopher broke down in her arms. She held onto him tight as he cried, it was the least she could do, since she knew the amount of pain he was in..
Marcella closed her eyes as she held Chris, only to open them again to hear a familiar voice coming from the bottom of the stairs...
"Mommy? Is Daddy okay?" It was Celina, her dark brown curly hair was frayed and messy, wearing her pajamas and clutching her favorite teddy bear, one that her father gave her when she was a newborn.. she rubbed her hazel eyes signaling that she was still sleepy..
Turning around to face her daughter, Marcella didn't want to lie to her daughter so the truth had to come out in a way a toddler could understand, "No sweetheart, Daddy is not okay. Why don't you come over and give him a hug?"
Nodding her head to signal she would, Celina walked over to her father, Marcella stepped away for a sec to let her daughter hug her father, even give him her teddy bear, "Here Daddy..I use this when I'm sad...You can have him."

Lillian was sobbing at this point. "The last time I-I saw her was when she was with us at dinner yesterday...." She wiped her face. "She was staying here... I j-just figured she was doing something with work..." She buried her face in her hands, crying. "How do we even know these are connected!?" Her voice was raspy. She couldn't believe this was happening.
Chris pulled his composure together when his daughter came in. He knelt down. "Hey, Celina Leigh..." He kissed her cheek, holding her close. He took the bear, smiling sadly. "Thankyou..." He rubbed her shoulders. "Um... Daddy has some things he has to handle... Do you wanna go see your sissy Mari...?" He asked her, tears still coming through. "You two can play dress up, and she may even give you your favorite ice cream...." He held her close. He then pulled away. "I think Aunty Lillian needs some hugs... Would you go give her some...?"
He stood up, holding the bear. "Marcella... I need you to go call Elysium, and tell her what's going on. She's at the safehouse, I didn't want to ruin her opening..." He couldn't finish. "..... Her big night..." He bit his lip

"Remember when I told you it was impossible for a poisonous snake to crawl in and kill father in his sleep? Well, there's your proof." Nina stood with her arms crossed. "It's no coincidence..."
