47| Broken limbs

Finally, Alice thought, unlocking her apartment door. It had been a tough day. She was just out of a final exam and wasn't sure she had done so well. Now, the only thing she wanted to do was put on her pyjamas and watch some episodes of her favorite show before sleeping forever.

The door creaked open and Alice stayed there, unable to walk through the door because of an awful feeling in her guts.

Something was wrong.

A chill went up her spine as she inspected the surroundings of her little apartment. From where she was standing, she had a good view of the living room and a small part of the kitchen. Everything seemed normal. Not a sound, not a thing indicating that someone was there, but Alice knew that something wasn't right. She could feel her powers bubble inside of her, the energy rising in her body, like an alarm telling her that unnatural things had been going on in her house.

She slowly walked in, silently moving through the entrance and reaching the living room. She could feel a dark energy present in the room but couldn't tell exactly from where it was coming from.

She inspected the kitchen, again, not seeing anything suspicious before moving to Megan's bedroom and hers, not finding anything there.

Lastly, Alice walked in the bathroom.

Her heart was pounding, sweaty palms directed in front of her as she entered the small room. No one was there, but the closed shower curtain was hiding the part of the room where there was the bath and a weird smell was coming out of there.

Summoning all her courage, she jerked the curtain opened.

A shriek of pure terror immediately left her throat.

Everything was covered in blood.

The bath was full of bloody body parts, soaking in their own juices. Alice recognized a head, the jaw almost completely teared off, hanging by a few strands of skin. The long black hair of the head was covering a pile of guts, the intestine knotted around a severed leg. The girl also recognized a lung, a heart and a bloody hand. The rest of the pile was almost unrecognizable; oozing, dripping minced flesh, full of squirming white worms. On top of the pile, a bloody rib cage was the cherry on top of this macabre sundae.

There were at least two people in there. No way that one body could produce that much meat.

The bathroom wall was covered in blood. Dribbling, wet, hot blood with dead flies stuck in it. In the center of this gruesome painting, a white pentagram was drawn clean from the red liquid; seven concentric circles joined by ominous-looking symbols. Alice immediately recognized the pentagram. This was her old coven's signature.

She fell on the bathroom floor, still screaming at the horrible image before her. Pure fear was tearing her body apart and she stayed there, frozen on the bathroom floor until the adrenaline kicked in.

When her body finally woke up from the terror, she quickly stood up and ran away from the scene as quickly as she could.

Alice didn't even lock the door as she ran down the stairs . She soon found herself in the street, in front of her block with no idea where to go.

Jungkook.

The boy's house was the closest to hers, so she started to run in that direction, ignoring the freezing wind hitting her face.

At the corner of a street, she slipped and fell on an ice plate, getting up quickly in front of wide-eyed passers-by. Tears started to trickle down her cold cheeks, blurring her vision as she continued to run blindly into the cold.

When she arrived at Jungkook's place, not long after, she realized that he might not even be there, and despair started to make its way into her thoughts.
