Thanksgiving easily could be one of her favorite Holiday’s-- simply because she was able to pig out and not have to feel guilty about it. This year, was going to be the biggest Thanksgiving yet. The day before she always had dinner at her adoptive parent’s place. It was always a huge deal. All the Salvatore family was there. The boys always loved it because they got to see all their cousins that were around their age. Xandra struggled with it at times since she was judged pretty harshly due to the fact that she got pregnant when she was young. That was her own fault and she would never change it for anything. She loved all three of her boys. They were her world. On Thanksgiving day, she had plans to go next door to spend the day with Gabby, Tyler and his lovely children. They had even said that Will and Emily could come. Â
Since they wouldn’t be having a dinner at her place, she still wanted to cook for the kids and Will. That’s what spurred on the idea of her cooking a small Thanksgiving dinner for just them. The thought of cooking her first dinner made her excited. It would be a blast! That morning, she woke up early to get things started. The turkey had been thawing in the fridge for two days. She made sure to put that into the oven, after prepping it. Now she would move on to making pies, sides, and anything else that she would need to prepare for her little family Thanksgiving dinner. Xandra went to the fridge and got out the Cranberries. The first thing on her to do list was making the cranberry sauce. Xandra wasn’t a fan of cranberry sauce but all three of her boys really loved it. It was one of their favorite things to eat on Thanksgiving.
Once the cranberry sauce was made, she put it in the fridge to chill. Now to move on to the next item on the list green bean casserole. Which was her favorite thing. She was moving right along with preparing all their favorite dishes for their little Thanksgiving. Will came into the kitchen to grab himself something to drink and when he saw the Whipped Cream he turned and gave her a smirk. “Do you have extra of that, I have some not PG ideas for whipped cream, ma.” he said with a smirk. Laughing, Xandra playfully batted at him with the wooden spoon she was using. “WILL!” she exclaimed as her mind now went to all the dirty things that he had just put into her head with his comment. The man laughed before giving her a kiss on the cheek and going back out to the living room to hang out with the kids.Â
While Xandra had been busy working on getting the rest of the things ready for their Thanksgiving dinner she didn’t notice that someone was in her backyard. She was too engrossed with what she was doing to notice the man creeping around in her yard. Xandra had the window open to let out steam as she cooked, plus she was hot. Her window still didn’t have a screen since it was broken during the summer. Which meant that her window was just open. This man took that to his advantage. “MOM!” she heard coming from the living room. She went to the living room to see what was going on and had to laugh when she seen that Will was a human jungle gym for all the boys and his daughter. They were all taking turns trying to get Will to fall down. During the time the man in her backyard tossed reached in and used a match to catch the sheer curtains on fire then he tossed a small little bottle of alcohol on the stove with a piece of cloth in the end.
The small explosion scared the crap out of the kids. They all stopped what they were doing and tried to figure out what had happened. Xandra was glad that she had walked out of the kitchen. “Will, call the cops. Nothing should have blown up.” she muttered. Concern that her father had sent another hitman after her making shake with fear. She didn’t have time for that. She needed to grab the Fire extinguisher and try and put the fire out. She didn’t want it to destroy her home that she had worked so hard to buy on her own. The black haired woman found the fire extinguisher in the closet right before walking into the kitchen and pulled the tab as she walked into the kitchen. Smoke was filling the air, it smelled awful. Her dinner ruined. Once she got close enough to the fire she aimed and pulled the trigger. She slowly moved the nozzle back and forth, trying to get it to go out. The fire had gotten too big too soon. It wasn’t going out with her little extinguisher. The extinguisher ran out before the fire actually went out. Time to get out of her house. She ran out of the kitchen, Will had already got the kids and the dogs outside and away from the house. Xandra glanced back once she was with them. This was not good. She would need to text Tyler and tell him to be on the lookout since he was her neighbor. If it had been her father hiring another hitman-- Gabby and even Antonio could be in danger.Â
