Until the last petal falls

Deaths Door

Belles POV

I awoke to an abnormal noise coming from the other side of the wall. I looked at both sides of me and Ezra and Daniel were gone. I drew my attention back to the noise as it had startled me again. The room prior to mine was vacant. Or so I had thought. I got up and threw on a large shirt. Slowly, I made my way to the room prior to mine. My steps felt heavier as I grew closer. My heart raced at an unbelievable speed and I was overfilled with fear. The smell of death struck my nose and I began to feel feeble to my stomach. I approached the door ready for the unexpected. Slowly, I turned the knob that was cold to touch. The door creaked open to reveal something that made me want to relinquish life. Inside was my best friend, Lily, hanging from the ceiling fan. Blood dripping off her frigid, lifeless frame onto the floor with such ease. The noise was then recognized as the blood striking the ground. I let out a deafening shriek and dropped to the brisk floor on my knees. I drifted off into a somber cry. Allistar and my Mother had rushed into the room by then and cradled me in their arms.

"Get her out of here"/ roared Allistar with gritted teeth. A hefty man picked Belle up and escorted her out of the vast bedroom. He relocated her back to her bed. By this time she was hardly breathing. No longer was she tearful or even shaking. There was nothing but a laconism inside of her. Daniel soon absconded to her side.

"Belle are you okay"? pried Daniel"? He climbed into bed with Belle and clutched her in his arms.

"Where did you go" inquired Belle. "Why weren't you here"? Belle started cuff her fists to hit Daniel in the chest.

"Calm down" said Daniel. He grabbed her arms not to tightly but just enough to restrain her.

"Ezra and I had gotten into an argument". "We went outside so that we didn't wake you". "We decided it wasn't worth it and he left". "I went downstairs to the training room to exercise". "I didn't hear anything until I came back up to go to sleep". "Thats when I heard you scream". I can see that your upset. So ill leave you for now. Daniel placed a kiss on her forehead and exited her room.

Belle glared at the wall for hours. She wasn't filled with grief. She wasn't somber or sorrowful. She was sullen and ferocious. Who did this? She reasoned. Hours past and she stood up. She locked her door, gathered clothes, weapons, and money. Lastly she wrote a note for her family. It read " Im sorry. I need to find out who murdered her. Its the only way that I can find peace. Stay here. Don't look for me because you wont find me. I love you all, Belle.

She left it on her bed and took one last look around. She opened her window and jumped down her eyes shimmering black as her heeled boots clacked on the ground. She ensnared a black motorcycle that was outside in the gravel driveway.

"I'm sorry" she whispered as she drove off smoke accumulating behind her.
