Xylo looked back and forth at the two. Some bitterness was forming at River. What was she speaking like that to him for? And he was already angered at Horius for insulting her like he had. His anger was boiling to an apparent point of no return. He began slowly, with a hint of anger "River..."River stared at Horius. Not a trace of anything on her face. "I don`t want people to follow me. But If they do, I protect them. And I don`t remember strangling each other being something brothers do." Her cold eyes turned to Xylo. "I didn`t follow you because I doubt you. I followed your sorry butt because of the rule you made. That no one goes out alone. Because of Horius." She snarled. Her eyes returned to Horius. "Sorry about interrupting what ever was going on here." She said bitterly.
(Horius can shoot her now)
Horius interrupted him there, after grinding his teeth together at the word. He shouted at him, not caring who heard. He would kill them all. He roared "You ungrateful rat! You speak to her, when I am the one who has done more for you? I took cuts of knives for you. I got shot for you." Horius lifted his shirt, revealing horrible wounds that had saved Xylo's blood. He hissed "I would die for you! I gave you my secrets! And you betrayed me. For a girl no one has ever loved, for obvious reasons, and a hunter turned Aves." Horius' eyes turned watery as he witnessed the loss of his last family. The last friend. He asked quietly "When I helped you with your pain, where were you when I sobbed with mine? Why didn't you explain to others why I killed? You made me a monster, while I hid your crimes."
Xylo bowed his head at those wounds. He had given so much for him. And he had failed to give back recently, forgetting what they had, replacing it with the love of River.
Horius turned to River, genuine fury in his eyes now. He asked in rage "You, what have you given up for him? Nothing. You just take take take, you greedy slug. I've seen you around him from afar, expecting to be served and not serve. You unloaded your pains on him, but when did you let him unload his. I have almost died for this man. You have done NOTHING." WIth that, he unleashed four shots into her abdomen, breathing heavily as he whispered "Feel my pain. Feel his." He then turned back to Xylo, revealing his wounds once again. He whispered "Kill your brother. Kill the one who has loved you more than anyone else."
Xylo's eyes filled with water as he choked out "I'm sorry Horius", firing a volley of shots that pierced his shoulder.
Horius fired two back, hitting Xylo in the leg, grunting as he got hit. He became invisible, and reloaded his gun, preparing to end the brotherhood. Forever. It was born with blood, and it would die with blood.
