========================
The End? - Part Deux
========================
It took Tommy about ten minutes to reach Lori's house. He felt anxious about the coming confrontation and thus prolonged the inevitable. Once he mustered enough nerve he went up to Lori's front door and knocked. Tommy waited about five minutes and still no one had answered the door, so he figured that no one was home, but then where was Lori?
On a burst of inspiration, Tommy took off to The Factory, he figured that would be as good a place as any to find her, and the silence that his friends were subjecting him to was unbearable. Tommy was desperate to resolve whatever this problem was.
He reached The Factory and went inside. He looked around the tables and booths but there was no sign of Lori, so he concentrated in the mass of bodies that was crowding the dance floor. It was hard for Tommy to try to distinguish in this dark light one person from the other but he eventually decided that Lori was not in The Factory.
Downcast and dejected he decided to go home after all. He was getting no where looking for his friends and the stress he was under was too much. Tommy turned to leave, and was shocked to see that Merton had just walked in.
"Merton!" Tommy yelled to get his friends attention, and was successful. Tommy felt a sudden spark of hope, he figured that Merton was looking for him, maybe now they might be able to talk. However, when Merton saw Tommy he quickly turned around and walked out of The Factory.
"Merton!" Tommy screamed in frustration and set to get to his best friend. Unfortunately, The Factory was too crowded this night, and Tommy found it difficult to get to the exit. By the time he made it outside the building there was no trace of Merton anywhere.
"This is getting ridiculous!!!" Tommy murmured as his hopes were again crushed. It took him a while, but Tommy was beginning to really miss Merton and Lori. Frustration wearing down on him, he needed to run to get his mind off things.
Tommy found a secluded area near the park and wolfed out taking off into the woods. Running always helped Tommy with his mental anguish, there were things that he could never discus with his friends, and running always offered the much-needed time to think and release.
Tonight this was not the case. Tommy decided to stop at the cemetery, a good, private place to come and think. He took a walk through the grounds, lost in thought, so much in fact that at first he didn't even register the sound of conversation.
When he did notice, Tommy prepared for a fight. There were always villains in the cemetery and a good fight might just help him deal with his stress. Tommy looked around a huge oak tree, not expecting what he saw.
There in front of Tommy, were Lori and Merton. They were sitting on top of two tombstones having a little chat. He decided to stay a while and see what this was about. Tommy felt a little guilty at eavesdropping on them, but at least this way he might get some insight into the situation.
"So, where do we go from here then?" Merton asked Lori. Tommy was stunned to see that Merton's eyes were a little red and puffy, as if he had been crying, but what totally took his breath away was the way Lori sounded.
"Merton, this doesn't have to change anything." Lori replied with a whisper. Her voice sounded like sand had been sprinkled on her vocal chords. Raspy and uneven. She sniffed loudly once and went on. "All that has changed is that now, we won't have a wolf to fight with us. We can still protect Pleasantville against all the evil that's here, but we will have to do it ourselves."
"Lori, get real!" Merton replied, rather hotly. "What chance do we stand without Tommy? We can't overlook that his power as a wolf was the key element that enabled us to best every single foe that came our way."
"Merton, reality check.. I can fight too. With your knowledge of the supernatural and my ability we can do this on our own." Lori spat at Merton. "I mean come on, there is no reason that we couldn't continue fighting without Tommy, he obviously wants it that way"
Tommy VO.
Huh? I do? Where did this come from?
Merton looked stricken by that last remark, but managed to mask it, barely. Taking a deep breath he plainly stated "I won't do it Lori. I'm sorry, I really am, but I am not going to risk my life every day like that. Before I had Tommy, if anything happened, Tommy was always there to protect me. Granted he would always protect you first, but I digress. Fighting with Tommy I had a sense of security, the wolf would always come through for me, without that I don't think that I want to be involved. I'm sorry"
Merton got off the tombstone he was sitting and walked away from Lori. As soon as Merton was gone Lori seem to lose it.
"Perfect!" she shouted and kicked the nearest Tombstone. Tommy decided that this was the time to try to talk to her and see what this was all about. Tommy stepped out from behind the tree and looked at Lori.
"What is going on Lori? What's with the sudden change?"
Startled, Lori turned around and assumed a fighting stance. She recognized Tommy and relaxes about a hair, but she did drop the stance. Looking like she might eat him alive she walked up to him.
"What do you want Dawkins? I have nothing to say to you, and I don't feel I have to explain myself to you. You're wasting your time, go away and stay away." Lori practically backed him up into the tree he had used as his hiding place.
Tommy VO.
That's it! I have HAD IT!
"What is wrong with you? Geez what did I do that is so wrong that you two now hate me? Tell me Lori, cause I sure as hell would love to know." Tommy screamed in Lori's face.
Lori was momentarily taken aback by Tommy's sudden burst of emotion, but she recovered quickly and curtly answered him.
"What's wrong with me? Don't even come at me like that Tommy, if you don't know what's wrong that's your problem not mine. I thought we were a team, but apparently we won't be. That's enough for me. Go do your own thing Tommy, cause I don't feel like being walked on." With that Lori ran away from Tommy.
On the verge of a nervous break down, Tommy attacked everything around him. Tombstones were kicked and punched, trees were almost uprooted and screams filled the night. When he finally exhausted himself he decided to go home and forget this night.
When he got to the edge of the cemetery he heard a footstep behind him. Thinking it was either Lori or Merton he did not turn around.
"What do you want now?" Tommy asked the figure behind him.
"Poor Tommy, here all alone. What a shame." A deep and familiar voice said behind him. He slowly turned around and looked at the intruder. His eyes widened and he took a step back, tripping over a rock in the process.
The figure walked further out into the open and stared at Tommy, with a look of total indifference. The man got within ten feet of Tommy and asked, "Miss me?"
Tommy's paralysis broke then, he stood up and aced the man with a look of total hatred. He could not believe it, but he couldn't deny it, he was standing right there.
"You!" Tommy said, looking every which way for a means of escape.
A/N There you have it, that's the second chapter of this little series. What did you all think? All comments are appreciated guys, so open up to me hehe.
