Julius stood there surrounded by the almost constricting crowd that was his family. He stared at the worried faces that surrounded him as he bit the inside of his cheek before letting out a breath. "The Xeres family...has just been taken out by hunters" Julius spoke softly as he slowly began to make his way through the crowd and to the stairs. "I will be alone in my office today. Please do not disturb me. And see to it that our guests are taken care of."

As he said those words Beau opened her mouth to say something before stopping as Julius slowly walked up the stairs and to his office where he sat down in his chair sitting there in the dark silence. A long eerie silence as he quietly let his thoughts consume him. Why was he so careless about the entire situation? Thinking and believing he had the entire premise under control until it led up to the point he didn't.
