WORLD CAVES IN, chapter thirty one

❝I don't know what to believe anymore❞

A day or so had passed and Odette spent her days in class, or studying in Georgia's dorm even just studying with Xavier with their plant Astrid which was starting to bloom. 

"When miss Thornhill said this was a dangerous plant I honestly crapped my pants but it seems fine, puffs out a yellow aroma every now and then but it never actually effected me or Xavier" Odette shrugged as she wrote down in her book. 

Georgia tilted her head at her friend in confusion.

"You never bothered to check that out or..." she dragged out before a knock was heard from the door "It's probably Weems again" Odette murmed to herself as Georgia walked over. 

Principle Weems over the week had been visiting the two girls and informing Odette of any important homework she had missed from the morning classes. 

It had become hard to climb out of bed in the morning since that night. 

When Georgia opened the door her brows shot up "not Weems" she said before Wednesday walked in, her boots clacking on the wooden floor as she stepped. 

"I feel insulted by that accusation" the girl said as she looked at Georgia who raised her hands in defeat. Wednesday turned her head away from the werewolf to Odette. 

"I need to talk to you" she said and Odette looked away "is it an apology or is it about how you want me to lie for you again" 

"It's about Xavier" 

Odette looked at the girl with curiosity "what about Xavier?" she asked, standing up from her seat "I have reason to believe that he is the Hyde" 

"What the hell is a Hyde?"

Wednesday slightly rolled her eyes as she threw a book towards Odette "page eighty-seven" she instructed and Odette turned the pages and the creature came up "the drawings are the same as it" she whispered as she grazed her fingers over the picture "It's a Hyde and it can be controlled by someone" she said and the hairs on Odettes neck shot up. 

This is the creature that killed Eli.

"So there isn't one killer" Odette looked up "theres two" Wednesday finished "and I know who they are" 

"Wednesday" Odette realised "you said you wanted to talk about Xavier" she said "Odette you have to stay away from him he's dangerous-" 

"he is not the monster Wednesday he can't be the monster" Odette told the Addams girl who stepped forward 

"how do you know he isn't"

"how do you know he is!"

Wednesday looked down to her feet "you are my acquaintance Odette, I won't let you be killed by a boy who's been using you" she said before giving her another book.

Water laid on the redheads eyes as she took the next book "page twenty eight" Wednesday told her and she looked down.

"An Angel of death if powerful enough by emotion can be used to bring back life from death" Odette read aloud before Wednesday encouraged her read on.

"A ritual must be taken place with body parts to bring life to the dead, an angel of deaths powers have to be restrained before the ritual" she listed off before looking at Wednesday who held a stoic look on her face. 

Eli's death, Eugenes injuries... She never felt them, she never saw them coming. 

"Someone's been taking my powers" she realised before down back at the book "now look at the back page" the girl said and Odette flipped the pages more, when she looked she saw beautiful drawings. 

Xaviers drawings. 

Odette's heart dropped to the floor. 

It couldn't be Xavier, Odette wouldn't be able to live with herself it was Xavier. He was the first person she cried to after Eli's death, he was the person she leaned on after Eli's death, he was the person who put his hand through her hair after Eli's death.

"It can't be him Wednesday, it just can't" she said, passing her the books 

"Just stay away from him" Wednesday said "him and Kinbott"

"The Therapist?" 

"She controls him"

Odette wanted to scream, she wanted to cry and throw things around her ── but she couldn't.

Because much to her dismay it made sense. 

Xavier Thorpe could be the killer.

Was she supposed to feel mad, upset, betrayed? She felt nothing, she felt her heart racing and she even felt a headache but feelings?

there was nothing there. 

Wednesday left after that as Georgia just looked at her friend "are you okay?" she asked "I don't know what to believe anymore" she said, sitting on the bed, tears in her eyes.

"I won't let it be him" she sniffled out before standing "I need to talk to him" she declared "Odette" Georgia whispered as she watched her friend walk around frantically.

"no" Odette said "you can't judge me if I see him because I need to know"

"from what we have been through I need to know" Odette said before walking out the door, Georgia grabbing her wrist "Odette what if it is him?" she asks softly.

I don't know.

That's what the answer was but everything was turning inside Odette's brain, maybe she wasn't thinking straight and maybe she could sit down and take a minute but she couldn't.

She had to see him.

Because even if he was the killer...

she was afraid she would still fall in love with him.

IT IS ACTUALLY SO HARD TO WRITE THIS PART BECAUSE IT'S SO HARD TO WRITE WHEN YOUR CHARACTER FEELS LIKE NOTHING

I feel like this chapter could be sm better so sorry about that 

also whilst I was reading this I paused to watch greys anatomy season eight finale 

....I am not recovered 

but if you look closely there's hints of greys anatomy in some chapters

but this is such a bad chapter for such an important part so I am angry just a little
