Until the last petal falls

Truth Hurts

"Belle we've looked through everybody's files. Nobody has motive to go after you."

"I can't explain it but I feel like it's someone at the school."

""Even so how would they know where you had travelled to? They couldn't possibly have known that.

""Unless,

"Unless what?"

"Unless the person who killed Lily lives in the house."

"Are you suggesting that someone from your own clan killed her?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying. I mean think about it, I would've trusted that they'd follow Allistars rules not to harm any of my friends or family."

"So should we start looking in your own clan?"

"Does your family have files on everyone there?"

"No only your clan has files on member of your clan."

"Prince Ezra, Allistar is here to see you."

"Tell him I am not here at the moment."

"The king insists."

"Fine. I'll be down in a minute."

"Don't tell him I'm here Ezra, and be careful. I love you. Belle kisses Ezra on the cheek."

"I love you to he replies."

Ezra's POV

"Father, Allistar" I say addressing the people in front of me in a formal way. 

"Ezra" they say back in unison making me laugh on the inside. 

"What it is you want Allistar? "

"Don't act coy I know my sister is here. I wish to have her returned to me." 

"She's not an object Allistar. She doesn't belong to you."

"Oh and does she belong to you? "

"Yes, and she wont come with you unless its what she wants." 

Oh! he says with a slight giggle and does she belong to you when she's fucking Daniel?"

"Allistar! We all turned out heads to see Belle standing there in shock. "

"Oh I am so sorry" says Allistar sarcastically.

"Fuck you says Belle with a very aggravated tone."

"Belle you will not speak to me like that."

"Fuck you" Belle says as she got closer to Allistar's face. 

He slaps her across her face hard enough to bust her lip. I reacted harshly and went in for a punch but my father caught my hand and held me back. 

"This is her fight" he says. 

I look at belle her eyes turn pitch black and the blood that once lay on her face disintegrated and she started to scream in pain. Her wings had started to come through. Only then did I realize what Allistar was trying to accomplish. Our wings develop when we are angry. The slap must have pushed her over the edge. I tried to get out of my fathers grasp to be there in her antagonized state but he gripped tighter I was forced to watch her scream. I had never seen someone in this much pain during a change. 

"Father let me go please I shout letting out a slight sob hoping that some part of him would be nice enough to let me go but he showed no remorse." 

Her wings started to sprout and her nails and teeth grew.  Her wings finally came, they were beautiful one was pitch black and the other was pure white. She stopped sobbing and just laid there. 

"What the hell did you do that for? It wasn't her time yet."

"She needed to learn. She ran away and now she's learned her lesson. She will not disrespect me again."

Anton, grab her. Put her in the car.

Anton grabbed her. She stumbled to get up. Her wings had been forced out, they didn't come on their own accord. I was finally able to push out of my father's grasp.

"Ezra stop". He said as I made my way to her.

I knew I wouldn't be able to stop them from taking her. I put my head on hers.

I love you I whispered softly.

Another tear fell down her pale face.

"I know who killed her" she whispered back.
