Have you cut and / or self-harmed ? If so do you need to talk ? If not are you positive you don't need to talk ? ^^ ›

Dimly , Alastor heard clamoring voices , a bang and the thud of a wooden door against the mahogany floors of his room . As he swam in and out of consciousness , he picked up bits and pieces of panicked voices yelling around him .

" ALASTOR ! OH MY GOD ! "

" What did ... How did this ... ? ! "

" AHHH WHAT THE FUCK ! "

" That's a ... Blood "

" What's this ... A letter "

" From ... What do you mean ... He wrote it ? ! "

" Oh dear , will he ... Okay ? "

" Yeah ... A sinner after all ... Fine "

Alastor mumbled something incoherent ... He had forgotten about that . Right ... Sinners are only killed with angelic material ...

Fuck

" Why would he ... Ask when ... Wakes up "

" Al ? Why ... On the floor ? He's okay right ? ... Husk , he's ... Tell me he's okay ! "

" Niff ... Just fine ... Promise "

" Then why ... Not talk to me ! He's ... To me ! ! ! ! "

Crying sounds followed , with were then muffled a little .

" He'll ... Okay ... My word "

With that , Alastor blacked out , the last remaining remnants of consciousness falling out of his grasp as he slipped into darkness .

Alastor jolted up , only to be met with a pitch - black room .

' Got a secret ... '

Suddenly , pictures lit up the wall , swirling around him .

' Can you keep it ? '

His mother and him , laughing and cooking together , playing in the fields , looking at the stars , eating Alastor's home - cooked jambalaya .

' Swear this one you'll save ... '

Before long , one picture in particular flitted into Alastor's view . His mother , looking scared , backing away from Alastor , whom was holding a knife .

Alastor turned away , but the picture followed his gaze , and he found himself unable to close his eyes . " No ... " He groaned , his voice feeble and strained . Tears slipped from his eyes as he watched , willing with all his might for it to stop but to no avail .

' Taking this one to the grave ... '

His mother fell to the ground with an inaudible thud , a knife plunged in her stomach while red splotches spread on her dress .

' If I show you ... Then I know you won't tell what I did '

In the picture , Alastor's maniacal grin faded , and turned into a panicked frown while tears streaking his face . He ran over to his mother's lifeless body , soundless words pouring out of his mouth .

' Cuz two can keep a secret '

A small , weak smile appeared on his mother's face before she closed her eyes and went limp , a pool of blood on the floor beneath her .

' If one of them is dead '

Charlie frowned , casting concerned looks to Alastor's limp form and the tears flowing freely down his face . Blood stained the deer's clothing and the bed covers , splattered on the desk and pooled on the floor . Her gaze then traveled to the letter and the red pen - knife that lay beside it .

Vaggie sat on the bed beside Alastor , facing away from him with a worried look on her face . She stared absent - mindedly at the detailed lamp on the bedside table as thoughts flew through her head , one after another . ' Did Alastor do this to himself ? ' ' How long has he been writing those letters ? ' ' How many does he have ? ' ' What drove him to do this ? ' ' What happened ? '

Lucifer's eyes were fixated on the wounded overlord , and everything else didn't seem to take his attention .

Angel was sitting outside , refusing to look inside . Blood always made him sick .

Husk was comforting Angel , frowning and not leaving the arachnid's side .

Niffty was constantly pestering Alastor , trying to wake him up with tears in her eyes . " Al wake up " " Al please talk to me " " Why won't you talk to me " " Why are you not waking up " " Listen to me " " Please talk to me Al "
