If he'd blinked at that very moment, he would have missed it. That's how quick it was; a blur of color. First, the normal bluish-grayish. Then an unnatural shock of bright red, and Eddie knew. He knew what he had been suspecting for awhile now, and it made him nauseous.

Patricia was a sinner; his girlfriend was a sinner.

All the 'lovey-dovey' moments they had had been fake, for...how long?

It could've just been this week, or it could've been months ago.

Months without control over herself, months without a soul...

Eddie couldn't believe it, yet he forced himself to. They had been wrong about KT. Now he understood why Patricia was so obsessed with making sure everyone thought it was KT; she needed the blame to be on her, to keep up the little fiasco for as long as she could. For all Eddie knew, everyone around him could be sinners. Fabian. Alfie. His own father. Who knew?

Robert tricked him into playing his game, and right now, he was winning.

A crazier thought than his original 'I'm gonna find the Elixir of Life' popped into his head.

Way, way too dangerous. He couldn't get close to the man who started all of this.

But Eddie couldn't help but wonder what would happen if he asked him.

After all, he had been the one to create the elixir in the first place.

Eddie shook the thought out of his head; Frobisher would strike a deal, like a sinner for the elixir or something like that. Eddie would be so clouded by desperation that he wouldn't think it through and would give him a sinner, and Frobisher obviously wouldn't give him the elixir.

So that was a definite no.

But, evil or not, Patricia was his girlfriend, and he loved her. He had to do something about her cancer crisis.

If Frobisher was his only option, Eddie knew he wouldn't be able to refuse it. Patricia was dying, and Eddie couldn't just sit around, doing nothing about it.

Then he realized something.

Wow. I've got to cure my girlfriend (of cancer and evilness) save the world, and get my homework done.

Well, the last one wasn't that important.


Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, but I hoped you enjoyed!

And was anyone else like, NOOOOO when Fabian became a sinner?
