Doorway
None of them could stop the events from replaying in their minds as they went their separate ways. None of them could help but wonder if something had been done differently if maybe it would have ended differently. They all felt helpless, their world and their friendships were rapidly falling apart.
"Nothing seems to have a happy ending anymore," Coreen thought sadly to herself as she reluctantly replayed the events of the day in her mind. She left Henry's apartment, hoping that maybe the cool night air would soothe her.
Mike went home and drank. He'd lost everything. He lost his job. He lost Vicki. He almost lost Coreen. He believed a demon. And now, said demon was walking around his city. The city he was supposed to protect. He drank some more. He drank until he passed out.
Vicki replayed the moment in her mind, over and over again. She chose Coreen, but who's to say that if she touched Astoroth that he wouldn't have left Father Raymond's body in exchange for hers. After all she was the one who was branded. Maybe he didn't just want her, but needed her body in order to fully enter this world. If she remembered correctly, Norman did say she was the doorway. Just because she had a reason for making her decision doesn't help her feelings of guilt. What if she'd been wrong, what if she could have sent him back to hell. What if she'd been wrong about a lot of things? Her mind wouldn't stop racing. There are so many things that have happened in the past year that maybe could have been different. What about performing the ritual with Henry's blood, what if there was another way? The more her mind raced, the more she thought about. The more she thought, the more she felt her strength fading away.
"It doesn't matter anymore," Vicki thought to herself, while trying to pull herself together enough to leave Henry's and go back to the office. "What's done is done."
Henry heard Vicki walk out the door. Heard her heart beat fade away as she walked further and further away from the safety he felt only he give her. He couldn't bear to see her choose this life over him and everything he could give her, everything he could be for her. He felt his heart breaking and could feel the tears forming. He tried to remind himself that he's a prince and a vampire and shouldn't cry. But that didn't stop the tears from streaming down his face.
This is my first Fan Fic. Hope you enjoy it, it kinda fell out of my head. Please let me know if I should continue.
Thanks to copswife0819 for the encouragement.
