"Get out of my office." Victor growled.
Okay, so maybe asking him about the Elixir of Life was a touchy subject and not that good of an idea. But Eddie needed answers, and he needed them fast.
"Victor, please. I really need it for-"
"Ah, let me guess. Ms. Williamson? Trust me, boy. Don't waste your time on her. Girls like that can only lead to trouble. I know from experience."
It took Eddie a second to realize what he just said. And even though it was hard for him to imagine Victor feeling an emotion that wasn't hatred, he thought that meant that Victor had had a girlfriend before. Or maybe even a wife. Who knows? He's been alive for over 100 years.
"Please, Victor. I don't think I could…I know I couldn't live…"
Victor leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Trust me, boy. She's not worth it. The reality is that in the end, people have enough troubles in their own lives to worry about others."
Eddie set his jaw, frustrated. Anger pulsed through him, as Victor's words ran through his mind. She's not worth it.
Of course she was. Patricia was worth more than anything Eddie could ever imagine.
Irritated and unable to control his anger, Eddie jumped up and slammed his hands down on Victor's desk, making papers scatter and fall to the floor.
"Listen here, you old animal-stuffing-creep! Patricia is most definitely worth it! And I'm gonna find that elixir, whether you're helping me or not. Everyday, she is growing weaker and that damn disease inside her is growing stronger. And I'm sorry, but I can't think about consequences now. We have to do the scales thingy, right? Tip the scales of life? A life for a life? Fine. I'll be that life. I'll be a sacrifice, as long as I know that she's healthy and safe."
Eddie, satisfied with himself, stormed out of Victor's office, leaving the old man to sit there in bewilderment.
Okay, so I'm sorry for keeping you guys waiting for like, forever. And I'm super sorry for this god-awful chapter that I threw together. And I'm sorry for the OOC in Eddie and Victor. I wrote a better one, but apparently it didn't save or something because it wasn't there when I tried to upload it. So, sorry again. And OMA, did you guys see tonight's episode? Patricia's freaky when she's evil. I don't think she would join Team Evil willingly, though. I think they either kidnapped her or forced her in there or said they were gonna kill Eddie or something like that. And I usually don't like KT, but I feel like superbad for her. :(
What did you guys think about the episode? What do you think's gonna happen?
Thanks for reading and reviewing!
