Radio's Angel (Alastor x Emily)

Emily

(Writing might be a mess, feeling really burnt out after work.)

After I had been telling Charlie about how our shopping went I noticed that Al was gone. I looked over to the bar and noticed that it looked like Angel had been crying. I start to make my way over when I hear a voice i never expected to hear.

"What a failure. Just pathetic."

I turn around but I don't see anyone but Charlie and the others.

Okay, that was weird but maybe I'm just a little stressed.

I continue to make my way to angel but then a figure appears behind the bar and I freeze. Gabriel, covered in stab wounds and his wings are tattered. I felt fear start course through me as he stared at me.

"You did this. All because of you incompetency! If it wasn't for you, everyone would be better off!"

"No!"

He smiles and vanishes as quickly as he appeared. Suddenly I feel a tap on my shoulder and quickly turn to see Charlie looking at me concerned.

"Are you okay Em? Is something the matter?"

"D-didn't you see him?"

Charlie raised an eyebrow, "Who?"

I then realize that no one else had seen any of it, only I did. I try to calm myself and play it off but then Angel also comes over.

"You saw someone too didn't you?"

I look at him in shock, "W-what do you mean?"

"R-recently I saw Val when I was in my room. I know he's dead, but he was so real. He vanished and I ran looking for anyone, that's when Husk found me and brought me down here. We've been keeping it quiet but Al knows about it know so we might as well inform the others too. Who did you see?"

"I-it's nothing. I think I just need some sleep."

I went up to our room and closed the door. I knew it had to be some kind of trick, and judging by what happened to Angel it must have been. Someone or something was toying with us, but what or who? The old Vees are no more, Heaven is on our side, and Al's father has been put down, so who?

I end up falling asleep as I lay there thinking. I was woken up by some loud noises from outside my room. I got up and looked at the time.

"Eleven? Why isn't Al here yet?"

I go to my door and open it to look out into the hallway. Everything is dark and i hear what sounds like sobbing coming from the far end.

"Okay, totally not creepy at all."

I summon some light but it's quickly swallowed by the darkness.

"Okayyy...."

I look in the direction of the sobbing, "Hello?"

Instantly the hallway goes quite, unnaturally so.

"Guys? If any of you are there this isn't funny. Especially with everyone seeing things-"

Suddenly I'm thrown out of my room and am being dragged down the hallway.

"LET GO OF ME! LET GO NOW!"

Suddenly a bright light shoots through the shadows. Whatever was dragging me let go instantly. I couldn't see it, but I heard it thud against the ground as it scrambled away into the darkness that returned.

"What just happened?"

"Nothing, and also quite a lot, but not yet."

I turn but there is no one to find.
