Deals Of The Past

Chapter 14: Hope Burns Out

Gabriel, Martin and Elizabeth all walked back to the room with Cherry inside. They opened the door and saw a nurse writing some things down. The nurse glanced towards them, then carried on.

"What state is she in?" Said Martin with tears being held back in his eyes.

"She's in a coma at the moment... we're not sure if she will wake up at the moment... but it's not looking good" Replied the nurse as she left the room to give them some privacy.

Elizabeth started crying onto Martin's shoulder, her daughter kidnapped and now dying right in front of her. Martin was feeling like he was the cause of all this... maybe if he didn't make the deal his daughter could have lived. Gabriel couldn't take it, his mind was racing, his heart aching. He couldn't lose the one person who ment the world to him.

Suddenly Gabriel turned and walked out of the room. Rage was now starting to take over his mind and body. He went outside and started walking towards the direction of a home. It was about ten minuets before he came to the door of the home. Gently he knocked on the door, slowly it started to open.

"Gabriel... what's the problem?" Said the person who was standing in the house.

"Adrien... you need to get up the hospital... Cherry's in a coma at the moment... and they are not sure if she's going to wake up" Replied Gabriel as he tried to hold back the tears in his eyes.

Adrien's eyes went wide with horror, quickly he grabbed a couple of things and left the house. Gabriel stood there for a while until Adrien placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Gabriel... are you coming?" Said Adrien as he wiped away a couple of tears away from his eyes.

"No... I've got something... I have to do" Replied Gabriel as he started walking in the opposite direction to the hospital.

Adrien looked confused then started running towards the hospital. Gabriel felt the rage taking over his body... if he wasn't careful he would probably kill someone. After about another ten minuets he came to another house. Forcefully he knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. The door opened and Matt lent against the door frame.

"What's the matter Gabriel... can't get enough of us?" Said Matt as a cheeky smile grew on his face.

"Very funny but no... where's your father?" Snapped Gabriel as flames started to burn in his eyes.

"He doesn't want to be disturbed... why do you need him anyway?" Replied Matt as an unimpressed expression grew on his face.

"He's lucky I don't f**king kill him Matt" Said Gabriel as the rage and anger coursing through his body.

"Cherry's in a coma because of him... She might not even wake up from it... I want to give him a piece of my mind" Continued Gabriel a calmer but lower deadly tone.

Matt's eyes became wide with horror, he couldn't believe it.

"Go ahead... I'm right behind you" Replied Matt as he placed a hand on Gabriel's shoulder and gave him a nod. 

Like a rage of thunder, they both walked towards Frank's office. Matt knocked on the door and waited for a response.

"Come in" Said Frank from the other side of the door, unaware as to what was going to happen.

Gabriel bust the door down causing a massive crash. His eyes were now filled with rage.

"I thought I told you... you were free to go" Said Frank as he raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"I've come back to give you a piece of my f**king mind" Snapped Gabriel he gave Frank a stare that could cut through anything.

"For the last week you've beaten the sh*t out of my sister... well I hope you're f**king happy now... because of you my, sister is in hospital... she's in a f**king coma... right now she's dying... all because of you... you f**king b**tard" Snapped Gabriel as he turned and stormed out of the room, tears flooding his eyes.

Frank's eyes were wide with disbelief. Matt looked towards the door where Gabriel had stormed out. Before Frank could say anything Matt walked out and shut the door. Quickly he walked out the front of the house to see Gabriel looking towards the shy.

"I'm not letting her die Matt... if I have to make a deal with my grandfather... then I will" Said Gabriel as he continued to look at the sky wondering.

"Gabriel... don't make the same mistake your father did" Replied Matt as he started walking closer to Gabriel.

Gabriel sighed and looked down at the ground. He whipped away a couple of tears then turned to face Matt.

"I'm going back to the hospital" Said Gabriel as he turned back and started walking.

"I'm coming with you" Replied Matt as he picked up the pace and walked along side Gabriel.

It took them 20 minuets to get back to the hospital. When they walked back up to Cherry's room, everyone was outside crying. Quickly they rushed over towards all of them.

"What happened?" Said Gabriel in a panicked tone as he mind started racing.

"Cherry's flat-lined Gabriel" Replied Adrien as he put his head in his hands.

Gabriel felt the whole world around him stop. His mind felt distant from his body. He couldn't believe his sister was dead.

"Gabriel... I'm so sorry" Said Matt as he placed a hand on Gabriel's shoulder feeling very responsible for all this. 

"I'm going in there and seeing her" Replied Gabriel as he started walking towards the door that led into her room.

Slowly he opened it then gently closed the door behind him. Gabriel sat down in a chair and put his head in his hands. Tears started rolling down his face.

"It's sad really" Said a voice from within the shadows of the room.

Gabriel glanced up to see his grandfather standing there, looking over towards Cherry.

"She risked everything... to end this war between Martin and Frank... and it worked she ended it... I gave her what she needed and she used it at the right moment... all of this was planned Gabriel... but her dying was never part of it" Continued the Devil as he crossed his arms and lent against the wall.

Gabriel was confused with the whole situation. It was all planned from day one... the day Cherry was born the day the Devil's plan was put into place. Gabriel's mind became so confused, some many things spinning around in his head.

The one thing Gabriel couldn't come to terms with... was his sister being dead.
