back to posting regularly now, no more holidays for a while :) {there's confrontations and peddie drama}

The day's last one-way ticket train pulls in
We smile for the casual closure capturing
There goes the downpour
There goes my fare thee well
Vienna, The Fray

"Eddie," Patricia said calmly, "You need to stop this"

There was silence for a moment before Eddie said "I've told you before, I can't"

"We need to try" she replied "I need my boyfriend back"

"And I need my Son" Mr. Sweet chimed in, both now fully accustomed to dwelling with a cannibal in their lair.

"As I've told you" he said prominently "I can't"

Patricia was beginning to get enraged by his blatantly laissez-faire attitude towards this, this was a dire situation which could end with him being imprisoned for life if he was discovered, and she knew the school wouldn't want that to happen but what if it soon became the only solution. People were dying left, right and centre and Eddie was the cause, no he had to be stopped, he had to be returned.

"What do you remember about being human" she asked abruptly.

"I am human" he replied.

The response angered Patricia even more "Wholly human I mean" she spat "a perfectly moral human being. Not this"

"Not a lot" he replied hesitantly "It felt different though. I felt happier"

Patricia escaped a gentle sigh of relief, finally they were getting somewhere; but Eddie heard and snapped back,

"But what does it matter" he said "I can't go back to being that way"

Patricia searched her brain for something else, something else that would make him interact with his human conscience again. Then it clicked.

"You took us here" she said confidently "Why?"

This question appeared to stump Eddie but he quickly bounced back "You needed to be protected"

"Why we are still here" she replied "there must be something inside telling you to keep us here, what is that reason Eddie?"

Eddie remained silent, this wasn't normal for him.

"Love, maybe" she suggested, but Eddie didn't respond well.

He bolted over to where she was held captured before whispering the following words into her ear "Don't say that word, to me. It doesn't exist"

"Then why are we here Eddie?" she asked again, adamant for a response, but again silence. There was only one thing for it. She didn't know what this would achieve, if anything, but it was worth a shot. She needed to show him love. "Eddie" she said softly and his head turned to face hers. She leaned forward and before she or he knew it. Their lips were touching.
