Michael continues drinking his hot chocolate when suddenly Gabriel appears in the booth across from him. Michael lets out a sigh
Michael: You just don't give up huh?
Gabriel: I'm not playing around now Michael
Michael: I'm not either. I'm telling you right now. Once we leave this city, we're never coming back
Gabriel picks up the cup in front of him and drinks it
Gabriel: You won't be safe too long, he knows a way and you should be worried
Michael: I'm not
Gabriel: You are a such a pain in my ass Michael
Michael: You are to, you just don't fucking quit and let us be happy
Gabriel hits the table
Gabriel: Enough of this shit!
Everyone looks at them
Gabriel: You are coming back whether you like it or not and that human will die by my hands!
Michael glares and hits the table
Michael: I'd like to see you fucking try!
Waitress: Hey!
They look at her
Waitress: Take it outside!
Gabriel: Hear that? "Take it outside" she said. That sounds like a great idea; don't you think?
Michael: I know the youths are out there
Gabriel: So tell me then; how do you want this to go down?
Michael: How about a little game of the mind
Gabriel: Are you sure about that? If I win, I kill the human
Michael: I never lose this game
Gabriel places his hands on the table and smirks
Gabriel: We'll see about that
Michael does the same. They have a stare down. The diner starts to shake a little while the lights flicker. Everyone in the diner starts to freakout and leave. Jess and Nathaniel look at the lights
Jess: What the hell is happening?
Nathaniel: Their playing the game
Jess: What game?
Nathaniel: To see who can control the others mind. A very dangerous game
Jess gets a worried look
Nathaniel: Now is a perfect time to take care of the youth
Jess: Wait, you can't leave. What if Michael loses?
He looks at her
Nathaniel: Have faith Jess. Something's coming Jess. Something very bad that'll affect the both of you. No matter what happens, don't give up on each other
She nods. He smiles then disappears
Michael and Gabriel's eyes start to bleed but Michael's turn pitch black. Gabriel starts to struggle. Michael is still then smirks
Sleep
Gabriel falls flat on the table. Michael's eyes change back. He gets up and goes to the bathroom door
Michael: Jess, it's safe now
She unlocks the door and comes out. She sees Gabriel then looks at Michael. She wipes the blood off his face
Michael: I'm fine
Jess: Good, I was worried
He grabs her hand
Michael: Come on
They walk to the booth. She notices that the diner was empty. She quickly grabs the bag while Michael grabs his jacket
Jess: Damn my hot chocolate is gone
Michael: Yeah, he drank it
Jess: Did you like yours at least?
Michael: It was delicious
They smile at each other
Michael: Ready to go back home?
Jess: Will you be able to?
Michael: We're about to find out
He wraps his arms around her then concentrates. They appear in the house. He falls to the ground
Jess: Michael?
She kneels next to him and sits him up
Michael: I'm fine
Jess: No you're not Michael
Michael: Really I am
Jess: Your eyes say it all
Michael: What?
Jess: I can tell you're in pain from how you're looking at me
He stares at her
Michael: Alright fine. I am in pain Jess. My head is going crazy like if it's going to explode
She puts her hand on his forehead
Jess: You're very warm. Lets get you to the bed
He nods as they both get up and walk over to the bed. He sits on it and falls back, bringing Jess with him. They stare at each other. Jess kisses him passionately then stops. He smiles
Michael: Woah Jess
Jess: I'm just really worried about you. I feel like you're going to disappear one day and never come back
He strokes her head
Michael: I'll always come back for you
She smiles and lays her head on his chest. He wraps his arms around her
Then adjusts himself on the bed while hanging onto her. They fall asleep
