Sacrificial Lamb

The crowd gasped in shock and so did Anastasia. 

"Xavier!" She called. She didn't stop him since she felt that Jack deserved the beating. 

One of Jack's teeth fell out and his blood painted his lips and the ground also, but Xavier didn't stop and nobody dared to stop him either. 

When Anastasia sensed that Jack had endured enough, she swiftly intervened. She still needed him alive for a specific reason.

"Xavier, you need to calm down. I'm okay, let them be. If you don't stop now, you might kill him," Ana said, trying to pull him off but he was too strong for her. "Xavier!" She yelled. 

Xavier paused, he hissed at Jack who was still on the floor. 

"You need to calm down," she repeated. 

She noticed his muscles relax and she internally sighed in relief. 

Jack was still frightened while Xavier was in sight. He didn't dare to breathe too loudly.
