Chapter 9 – Reunions of Sorrow

Azrael's POV-

Vi and I pretty much rode back to Steelport in silence. Once I pulled in to the underground garage at the penthouse, I recognized my mom's car so I knew she was there.

"This should be fun." I said as Vi just squeezed my hand.

"It'll be okay baby, I'm right here." She said as I slightly smiled.

I stepped out of the Attrazione and began walking to the elevator while holding the doors for Vi. Once she got there, I dropped my arm from in front of the doors and pressed the button for the penthouse. As the elevator ascended, the only sound was that same familiar elevator tune. The silence helped me refocus my thoughts and how I'm gonna handle everything when we actually get to the floor.

"Rael..." My mother said as soon as the elevator doors opened.

She ran over to me and immediately wrapped me into a tight embrace. I kinda just stood there, stiff and emotionless, while she held me tightly.

"Hi mom." I said blankly, trying to get her to release me so I could call everyone to a small meeting.

I guess she received the message as she let me go and I quickly walked around her and to the living room where everyone stood. I nodded towards my dad which he reciprocated.

"Meeting in the living room now, everyone here is to get to the living room now." I said as I pressed the button underneath the glass coffee table. Once the number of Saints felt right, I spoke, "Alright, seeing as most of you are here, as you all know, there's been a death in the family. Former Saints Leader Dylan Alvarez Auditore has passed away so, being tradition, we are attending the funeral. The lieutenants and up will attend while the lower ranks stay here and monitor Steelport."

Everyone respond with a "yes Boss" or a simple nod and proceeded to go about what they were previously doing.

"Alright, travel arrangements, Viola and I will lead the group with my mom, dad, Shaundi, Cleo, and Asha directly behind us, Pierce, you, Angel, Oleg, and Zimos will take the Compensator, Birk and King will be at the end of the line. Understood?" I asked as I looked around at everyone to get confirmations or agreements or even disagreements. "Since we all seem to be in agreement, dismissed." I said as I walked passed everyone and out to the helipad. I looked around the helipad and smile slightly as I saw they finished installing the new railing I requested. I sat down and swung my feet over the edge while looking out over the city. Sighing deeply, I let my head rest against the pole beside me.

"Penny for your thoughts?" I heard an all too familiar voice say from behind me.

"I literally don't know what to do or what I'm gonna say mom. I ruled and lived by actions, not words. Now that I'm forced to use words, I don't know where to even start." I replied.

"There is no right thing to say sweetie, it's all based on emotion and it comes from your heart, not your mind. I just got off the phone with Aunt Carol, the funeral is gonna be this Saturday, I've already told everyone so, you make the call on when we leave." She answered as I felt her kneel behind me and place her hand on the middle of my upper back.

"I'd say tonight so that way we are there for when the family arrives in Stilwater since the services are taking place in Mourning Wood, I assume" to which she replied with a nod, "so, I'll take a few foot soldiers to pick them up and guard them because I have no clue who is still in Stilwater. So, tell everyone we are leaving around 6:30 tonight. And have Pierce or Shaundi gather some foot soldiers to go along." I said as I heard her stand up and walk away.

Viola's POV-

"It literally is killing me to watch her shut down like this." I said to Axel, Azrael's dad.

"Yeah, its killing me too but, that's her way of coping. Shutting out everyone and everything. She's done that for years now. Ever since my mother died I think." He replied as he stood beside me and watched her.

I opened the doors and walked towards Rae while noting that it looked like it was about to rain due to the clouds and the slight breeze. I sat down beside her and wrapped my arms around her and used my head to put her arm around me.

"Yes my love?" She said rather somberly.

"I just don't want you to be alone, I wanna be there for you." I replied as I snuggled closer.

"Thanks Vi, I really appreciate it." She said before kissing the top of my head.

"You're welcome, I think we should head inside because it's about to rain." I said as she nodded before escaping my embrace, standing up, and reaching her hand down to help me up.

"Remind me to get a new suit at Impressions when we get to Stilwater." She said as she took my hand and started walked towards the penthouse.

A/N: Well, that's it, I'm sorry if it sucks, I've been away for a long time and I'm not exactly sure if I'm still good. Anyway, I should have the WWE story up by tonight or tomorrow night and I haven't forgotten about TLU, I plan on updating each story of mine one chapter at a time. Until next time, stay frosty.
