Chapter Eleven

    I couldn't move. I could barely speak. I just let Alexx go on with the story.

    "The Black Queen has been waiting for her chance to get rid of Kristina, and now she had her chance." I sat there, horror-struck, as Ethan held me close, wrapping his arms around my upper torso.

    "She hung her, Mackenzie, she hung Kristina!" The room got quiwt for a moment, and then she looked up, tears in her dark brown eyes, "and now she has Bradley. She announced it to the world while you were sleeping. Skye has been seeing him for months."

    I had always seen him around a lot, but I thought it was just to pay respect like others.

    "So," I started off, "what do you expect me to do?" It got quiet for another moment.

    "Well I-"

    "NO ALEXX!" I said with a hard tone, my voice ripping through the silent room as I began to yell louder and louder, "No! I can't do anything. You think that just because I'm her right-hand woman that I can dictate anything that that woman out there does!" I pointed to the door, indicating who I meant.

    "Babe, just calm down." Ethan said softly as he held me tighter. But I went off again before he even got it all out.

    "No No No Ethan! She and everyone else expects me to be able to help and fix everything but I can't. Really, I can't do s**t!"

    So, we all sat there, once again, in the piercing silence, wondering the same thing ... What's next?
