Find a way

“Why didn’t you tell him!” Eamon yelled at Green, he keeps hitting his fist on the table, biting his lips in annoyance.
“You should have told him, how do you expect him to feel when he wakes up and she’s gone. He has every right to know!”
Green was pacing in front of him, with so much quilt in him.
“I wanted to tell him. She won’t let me, I made a promise to her. That I wasn’t gonna tell him, she told me she was gonna tell him herself. I don’t know. I..”
“Dixon will be so mad when he finds out what you’ve done. There were days you could have let it slip out but hell no! You held it in. Told no one. You allow her to bear the pains alone. She alone on that painful and lonely path. You’re so cruel.”
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t.”

“I’m not sure, I’m the one you should be telling that. You didn’t hurt me but her and Dixon. Most especially Dixon.”
Green sniffed.
“I never wanted all these to happen. I cared for her. I had to do what she asked me to do.”
Eamon fell silent, if he hadn’t threatened Green he won’t have been aware, he told him everything, who she was, and what was happening to her. And all he did was feel sorry for Dixon. He fell for the wrong girl, love isn’t just for him, he hadn’t been able to get it all right. And now it was a demon he fell for. Someone who could kill him. How did he do that?
Stayed with her all this while, eat with her, teach her, bath her, and slept in the same room with her. Dixon did all that. Because loved her. And she wasn’t able to kill him because of that love he had for her.
Love?

They said it conquers all,
Will the love prevail now, how is it gonna save them.
“Today is the last day isn’t it?”
Green nodded.
“Second to the last day,”
“Had any idea where she would run to.”
He shook his head.
“She doesn’t know anyone around, if I hadn’t been here I might say she would have come to me, but here I’m, I don’t know where she would have gone.”
Eamon signed, while he stares at Green, he was still pacing.
“And there’s no way to cure her.”
He shook his head. Then paused.
“I think there’s away. I don’t know if it’s gonna be possible.”
“Tell me about it.”
“It’s a sacrifice of the loved one.”
“Sacrifice?”
“Someone has to die for her to be human again.”
“That’s the sacrifice of love.”
“Yes, Someone who loves her, I told her about it and she warned me not to tell Dixon about it, scared that he might want to end his life trying to save her and she doesn’t want that to happen.”

Eamon sighed again. This has been a lot more difficult than he thought. How or where are they gonna start from if they truly wanna help her.
“This is all so complicated. And I still think he deserves to know all these, you kept him the dark it’s not right.”
“I don’t know. I thought it was for the best that he shouldn’t be aware of it, but seems I was wrong. So wrong, I shouldn’t have listened to her.”
“Well on the other hand, if you hadn’t listened to her she might have killed you. You know that. You were scared too of the possibility of her knowing you told Dixon. It won’t be good either. This is all messed up.”
He grunts.
“Stop pacing and sit let’s think of something. Something that could be of help, they would be home any minutes.”
“What should we think of?”
“How should I know.”

Green signed again, clasping his hand over his head. This was all over for him. If anything happens to Maeve he’s doomed.
He wanted her to be safe and he couldn’t protect her. He couldn’t save her when he wanted to.
“I’ve failed. When I let her out of the basement. I thought I’d saved her completely, gave her the drugs of being half-human and half-demon. I thought she would be safe. But I didn’t know there were more to just being safe from the basement.
I promise myself to take care of her, to atone for my sins, I was gonna help her. But I failed.” He sniffed.
“You don’t know how awful I felt, watching her dead each minute in front of my eyes. Never felt this way before.”
“It’s okay, you did your best, what’s gonna happen, it’s gonna happen, there's nothing you can do to change it.”
“I thought I could change it, I thought I could make her human again.” He sniffed again, wiping the tears that were streaming down his face-off.
“C’mon don’t do this Green. Stop it.”
“I’m sorry, I just got too emotional.”

Eamon held his hands over the table and squeezed his hands.
“It will be fine. Everything would be fine. You just had to believe that.”
“I’m trying to believe it, that everything would be okay, but I don’t think it would ever be.”
“Stop saying that.”
“That’s how I feel.”
“It’s the second day, it isn’t that last.”
“To us, this is the last day, the last day of trying anything. The last day to help her. This is it. And we lost, I lost moreover. I couldn’t help her.”
“Look at me,”
Green did.
“I know you did your best, and I got pissed when I found out all these things you said and did, but I got to understand that you did all that because you love her. And you wanted to protect her. Green, you’ve done more than you can.”
“I still feel it’s not enough. She’s gone die tonight.”
“We’re gonna find a way. This time it won’t be just you, the mistake you made was doing it all alone. This time it won’t be just you but for us. We’ll all be in this together. Find a way.”
