Forty eight
•Lexus
"It's me." I whispered in her ear and she calmed down. I loosened my hold on her and she looked back up at me. The firing had ceased now.
"Lexus…" She whispered my name, then her gaze landed on the gun in my other hand. "You-"
"Don't worry. I didn't use it." She relaxed a bit after hearing that. I kept her close and glanced from behind the tree. The area was clear. "Arius sent his men to take care of them." I spotted a man in black lying face down while it started to drizzle. I think he was shot but I couldn't make out where, since he was wearing all black it was difficult to spot.
Lighting struck as the rain started becoming heavier. After looking around I decided it was okay to take her back with me now.
I looked back at her, "It's okay. They're gone. We can leave now."
"Are you sure?" She asked and I nodded, Arius's men should have taken care of all of them. I just have to make sure Rosalie doesn't see the dead bodies.
