Chapter Sixteen

Helene came over that night, where we scrolled through Netflix on the television hanging on my wall, when she passed by my ‘continue watching list’ of Supernatural. It was there that I told her about seeing Alina Mulgrave, the FBI Agent showing up at my doorstep, and what Uncle Garvy had found out about the cult ten years ago (and possibly the whole ‘End of Days’).

She was lying straight across from my body as I sat on my beanbag chair on the floor.

“You know, this is sounding like an episode of Supernatural during the apocalypse between Michael and Lucifer. We’re basically Sam and Dean Winchester.”

“Not Cass and Crowley?” I pouted.

“Sadly, I think Veronica is your Crowley. You guys have that ‘hate,’ and I ‘want to kill you’ kind of relationship.”

I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, but the difference is people started to like Crowley after a while. Plus, he actually makes jokes, not sick and crude remarks.”

Helene gritted her teeth and hissed. “Yeah, true.”

As if on cue, my phone vibrated from the nightstand. Helene grabbed it and tossed it to me. A text from Alessander.

Alessander: Ira, are you free to talk. Please? I really need you.

My heart squeezed in my chest, and my eyes burned. I wanted to believe him and the look in his eyes, but something in me was unsure.

“Mm, penny for your thoughts?” Helene nudged me with her elbow. I’m sure she wasn’t trying to spy, but the phone was right in her peripheral.

I shrugged. “What you got, Sensei?” I leaned my head back and looked at her upside down.

She twisted her lips to the side and shrugged her shoulder. “Well, from what you told me, has Alessander cheated on you before?”

I pressed my lips together before parting them to speak, “No, but there’s this weird feeling in my gut that—”

“—is making you overthink the situation. Sounds kind of like the Apathy that’s taking over people’s minds, don’t you think?”

She had a point, and even though I didn’t know the limit of how much Apathy could build up, I didn’t want to lose myself and cause an Umbra Shade to develop.

“Even if you feel that negativity in your gut, that is just your doubt talking. It wants you to keep thinking about it so it grows and festers until you can no longer control it. And Veronica is seeding that doubt in your head. I wouldn’t even be surprised if Apathy can spread from person to person, depending on the situation. In this case, Alessander is the victim, and he’s in a tough spot because Veronica has her claws wrapped around both of you.”

I leaned my head up from the bean bag and touched the sharp pain in my chest. It hurt to even think of something like that, but Helene was right. Whether it was true or not, she made it perfectly clear the two things I cared about, and she would go after it until I could no longer fight.

Well, Veronica, I won’t let the Apathy bring me down.
