I DO NOT OWN REIGN. SHOUTOUT TO XMISSWHITNEYBEXX.
Verona, Wisconsin. Later that night.
While Shawn held Francis Valois's life in his hands, Mary Stuart was at the townhouse; waiting for him to return. Chris and Nathan tried their best to keep her occupied, but they were worried about Shawn and whether or not he had it in him to see this through. After a quiet dinner, it finally came to a head.
"Do you know when Shawn and Francis are coming back?" Mary asked. Chris checked his phone and it read 8:00. He figured it was safe to tell her.
"Mary...there's something we need to tell you." Chris said solemnly.
"Francis isn't coming back." Nathan added. This caught Mary off guard.
"What do you mean?" she asked again. Chris thought about it and he knew that it was best to rip the bandage off.
"After what happened with you and him at the party, King Blade demanded his death." He explained as Mary's face went cold.
"What?" she almost whispered as she stood up. "You mean Shawn..."
"They asked Shawn to put him at ease to avoid a struggle." the Scottish Queen began to hyperventilate at the thought of her husband dying.
"We have to save him Chris," She insisted as she tried to get to the door, but Chris blocked her way.
"Mary, we can't..." Nathan started to say.
"Let me go!" She cried. "You can't let them kill my husband!"
"It's done Mary!" Chris exclaimed. "It happened an hour ago!"
"No!" She cried as she still tried to get out of Chris's grasp. As they fought, they saw car lights coming through. Mary broke free and opened the door to see Shawn stepping out of the El Camino. "NO!" She wailed as she dropped to her knees. Suddenly, the passenger door opened and the French King stepped out of it.
"Mary!" He exclaimed with relief.
"Francis!" She exclaimed in return as she ran to embrace her one true love. The lovers kissed passionately as they embraced.
"I'm all right, Shawn saved my life." He explained as they all walked inside.
"How is he still alive?" Nathan asked in disbelief.
"I made a choice." Shawn replied.
"Where is King 12 Gauge?" Chris inquired as Shawn looked at him with pain.
"I wasted him." the boy said quietly as Reyes was beyond livid.
"What did you do?" Chris asked as he grabbed Shawn by the collar. "Do you realize what you have done?" Francis heard this and immediate punched Chris in the face.
"Dude!" Nathan exclaimed as he got between the two men.
"You knew!" Francis accused. "Before Shawn and I even left, you knew what was going to happen!"
"Damn right!" Chris exclaimed. "It came down to you or us, and I chose us. You're not my King, I have no loyalty to you!"
"A fact well known!" Francis spat back, alluding to his kissing of Mary.
"Stop it!" Mary exclaimed, her eyes still red from the tears. "You live and that is all that matters."
"Not for long." Chris pointed out. "Once King Blade realizes that 12 gauge is dead and Francis is still alive, we are all going to be marked TOS. You have doomed us all bro!"
"What the Hell are we gonna do Chris?" Nathan asked fearfully.
"I need a fucking moment to think!" He shot back.
"We must either fight or flee." Mary stated as she stood close to her husband.
"Are you High?" Shawn asked rhetorically. "There is no way in Hell we can..."
"She's right." Chris said as he made his decision. "There's too many of them and they have too many guns. Facing King Blade head on would be suicide. The only other option is to run. We have to leave Verona and never come back."
"So that's it, we're just gonna leave our home?" Nathan asked.
"If we want to live, yes." Chris insisted. "Go and pack, we leave at the crack of noon." Nothing was sent as everyone went to see what belongings they had packed and ready. It was the end of everything they knew.
