Fallen Between Book Two - Melodie's Whispers

Target

How can she do it? Everyone else she didn't have a connection with or didn't know. What did Oscar do so wrong to make them turn and want one of their own dead? She feels the sickly feeling seep through her. 

What if she has it wrong? What if this is them trying to get rid of them both? What if Oscar got a message to remove her? She steps back feeling herself hit something, her head shaking knowing it is Oscar. The feel of the gun against her back making her panic, moving she grabs the cup, turning her hand swinging it so it hits his head.

Oscar screaming and grabbing her as his head bleeds.

"You fucking crazy bitch." Melodie moves to kick him, her hand reaching for the knife, Oscar dragging her to the floor. "I know Melodie! The gun was me hoping I could talk before you kill me!" His words screamed at her as she fights against him.

"Melodie I wouldn't kill you, or hurt you. It took two minutes to realise what was going on. To realise we were sent a message about each other, how the fuck did you manage to join?"

 Melodie moves, kicking him as she tries escaping, his hands pulling her back. 

"Stop! I just said I won't damn hurt you. Melodie what the fuck are you doing?" He looks at her panicking. Melodie giving in sensing he is going to hurt her.

Oscar moves sitting up holding his head. "You crazy bitch." His head shakes as he looks at her. "Explain!" He looks at her waiting.

"After dad died, you remember Gerrod escaped?" He nods waiting. "I didn't always want to be worried Oscar, I did some searching, a lot of searching, and found Peter. He got a guy to train me, and agreed if I joined he would ensure they would find Gerrod and I would be the one to end it all." Oscar stares at her shocked.

"Melodie do you know what you damn agreed to?" 

She nods laughing. "I know I am in this for life, or until I fuck up which apparently I have because clearly, they want me removing. I just didn't want Gerrod to get near Jax or Lucas. So I agreed, it has been over a year now Oscar. I followed the damn rules!" What has she done that makes them want her dead now? Her eyes glancing at Oscar.

"You, why did you join?" This would have been easier if it wasn't him.

"Never mind that, you must have fucked up somewhere, left something somewhere that could make people find out it was you and get back to Peter. Melodie are you crazy? Most people who join have nothing to lose, you have everything, you agreed to be killed what the fuck?" He stands up glancing around himself.

"And you, what did you do so wrong to make them turn on you?" 

Oscar turns looking at her. "Refused to kill you. I refused to remove you so now they want me dead. I'm guessing they were hoping you getting that message would make us fight to the death. Melodie, what about Jax and Lucas?" His head shakes as he glances up at her. "You said over a year?" His eyes widen.

"Yes Oscar, what, sixty people. Apparently, men really underestimate how good a fighter a woman can be. I guess the fact I took down sixty people has made them realise I can't be left alive." 

Oscar nods, she had to have messed up somewhere, if she has taken down that many subjects she is amazing which means her fuck up must be bad.

"I got the message yesterday. I was meant to take you down early morning, I refused and threatened to put everything out there which pissed them off. God Melodie!" Oscar's last words screamed at her. "Think back, remember what the hell you have done that makes them want you dead." He looks at her, her head shaking. 

The door opens, Jax walking in looking at them confused, his face changing from worry, to angry to jealously.

"Some jerk walked in and tried stealing shit, I heard her screaming, came running down and she fucking hit me thinking I was him."
