"Ellie... are you hurt?" I asked calmly, slowly walking up to her as Lorenzo followed behind me.

She shook her head slowly, her hands shaking and her breath also becoming shaky. With the amount of shock she was in, she couldn't start sobbing even if she wanted to, she looked back over inside the room and I turned to Lorenzo, both of us stopped walking.

"Check the room, I'll try to keep her calm." I whispered in his ear.

He looked back at me and gave me a nod, waiting for me to walk over to Ellie. I slowly approached her, reaching my hand out but not touching her just yet since I didn't want to startle her in this state.

She put her eyes on me, "Owen..." she said with a tear coming down her face.

"Baby you're okay, don't worry." I calmly said, standing just a bit farther from her to give her some space.

Lorenzo took off his suit coat, passing it over to me for Ellie's hands. I took it from him and watch as he entered the room, I kept my focus on Ellie. She looked back down at her hands.

"I-I don't know what I d-did.." she whispered again with a shaky voice.

"Do you want to tell me what happened and who's blood that is?" I asked, already taking a guess on who's exactly it was since it wasn't hers.

Her lips parted as she opened her mouth to speak but the words just didn't seem to come out. As soon as she closed them, her lips began to quiver as she bit down on them to not sob, her beautiful eyes forcing itself to hold back her tears. She slowly shook her head as the answer to my question.

"That's okay, but I do want to clean off your hands. Do you mind if I touch you or do you need some space right now?" I asked first before going any further.

She took a moment before she moved her hands over to me while still looking at them. I got closer to her and carefully grabbed her hands, cleaning the off with the coat Lorenzo gave me.

While I was finishing up, I heard a tiny sob spill out of her. I immediately put my eyes onto her face, watching the tears race down her cheeks. That's when she finally let go and broke down.

I quickly finished up and dropped the coat, pulling her closer to me slowly. She shoved her head in my chest, holding my shirt into a tight fist and started to sob. I wrapped my arm around her waist and caressed her head for comfort, looking over at Lorenzo who was standing by the doorway.

"It's okay baby, it's all okay.." I whispered, kissing the top of her head.

"I d-didn't mean to do it.." she cried into my chest.

"I need you to tell me what happened, what did he do that made these sudden events take place?"

She tried her best to calm herself down just enough to talk properly, "St-Stefano was going to hurt me a-and I was scared... so I grabbed the s-sharpest thing in reach and stabbed his neck.."

That had all taken me by surprise. To me, she was a harmless angelic girl, finding out that she had killed someone as skilled and powerful as Stefano had came to me as a shock. But it was also a good thing, she was learning some self defense, but it wasn't the way we had wanted her to learn it.
