(REWRITING) Fallen Angels

Chapter 47

Oliver and Lance walked into the study, where they found a pretty odd scene. Melody was talking to Alexander, Alexander was standing over his dead body, Lilith was just standing in a pool of blood (it looked like she was about to vomit), and there were two people flanking Alexander on each side. 

Oliver sat there, staring, and then his cell phone rang. 

"H-Hello?" Oliver stammered, still confused and horrified. 

"OLIVER WHERE ARE YOU I HEARD YOU WEREN'T AT SCHOOL WHERE DID YOU GO WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!" His foster mother screamed into the phone.

"Uh....something came up...my uh friend, Melody, she got hurt and we arrrreee....uuuummm" Oliver struggled to find an excuse. 

Lilith walked over and snatched the phone, "We're at a friends house now, looking after her. She got hurt and we're just making sure she's okay."

"...Alright, be back by tomorrow." Their foster mother ordered and hung up. 

Lance looked around at everyone in the room, then directly at Melody and Alexander, "Alright you two. You have some explaining to do."

Gabrielle spoke up, "No, we should start from the beginning." She sighed, "This is my fault." 

Dominick looked at her, "Gabrielle you do-"

"No." She interrupted her brother, "You know this is my fault." Dominick didn't say anything.

Gabrielle took a breath, "It was the morning, I had just woken up, and I couldn't find Owen anywhere. The car was still in front of the house, so I knew he had to be SOMEWHERE. I searched the whole house, the whole yard, but he wasn't anywhere. Then I figured he might've taken a walk, so I went out in the woods. I didn't find him in any of his usual spots, but then I came to the cliff."

Melody interrupted her, "Wait, the one at the edge of the forest?"

Gabrielle looked at her, "Yes. Now as I was saying, I looked over the cliff. I hadn't been that far out into the forest, Owen wouldn't let me. When I looked down, I thought I saw something, so I decided to climb down the slope to right." She took a shaky breath, "When I got down there...I...I saw Owen. H-He was m-missing an a-arm...both of his legs w-were broken....a-a-and.." She started crying, "Half of his -f-f-face was m-missing...h-his torso...i-i-it was l-l-like an empty cavern f-f-full of shredded...o-organs..." She was quiet for a moment, "He was dead...I didn't know what to do...I didn't report it to anyone...I took his heart....I-I went home...I don't know what happened to me...I-I just...started doing something...I drew symbols on the floor, talked in a language I didn't know how to speak....this went on for weeks, I didn't know who I was...I didn't eat. Finally, after I lit candles, used his rotting heart......I hung myself"
