The Holy Trinity (Emo Trinity Fanfic)

Chapter 15: The Story of the Faustian Bargain

Patrick is at his own room, alone and sitting on his bed, thinking the sequence of events.
"The night that we went to the bar.. Gerard and Brendon almost fight.. Gerard said that the young boy dreamed about three men at the bar..." Patrick thinks then he wrote it down on a clean white paper.
"Many people died mysteriously near Brendon" Patrick thought and he looked at the news articles on the newspapers related to the mysterious deaths in LA and that is where Brendon lives. He cut it it and pasted it on the paper.
"And one that really bothers me... Is Gerard's graduation day... The same day where the key was stolen and the day is Brendon is not around.. Gerard can't tell me that all of those are just coincidence... Everything matches and I really feel that Brendon has the key." Patrick set them all in the briefcase and locked it.
"Maybe this proofs will make Gerard believe... I strongly believe that Brendon has the key... I can feel it..."
He went out of his house and he wears his fedora while bringing the briefcase of files.

Meanwhile, as Gerard is at his office doing his research about the devil's key, a sweet familiar voice calls him. "Gerard...?"
He looks on that direction"Helena? What brings you here?" Gerard asked in surprise
"Just visiting you here. I brought you goodies in case you're having a hard time for your research about the ancient relic." Helena said as she placed the bag of goodies on the table. The goodie bag consists of freshly baked muffins and cookies that she made.
"Aww, thanks Helena." Gerard blushed as he left his computer for a while to take a single cookie.
Helena took a glimpse on Gerard's monitor "you really want to solve the conflict about the ancient relic?" She said softly.
Gerard nodded in response while preparing two cups of coffee "I think that is the mission that God gave me. So I have to fulfill it." He said as he poured the hot water on the cups and stir the coffee.
Helena nodded in response "mind if I can use your computer?" She asked politely.
"Sure." Gerard said as he serves the coffee to Helena and Gerard starts to eat the cookie that Helena made.

As Helena is doing a research, Gerard watches on the monitor and he got curious. "Faustian Bargain?" He asked curiosly.
"You don't know what Faustian Bargain is?" Helena asked as Gerard shakes his head like a little kid.
Helena sighs and she cleared her throat "Well it is a legend, similar to the devil key" she said. "It all started with a genius doctor named Faustus. He wants to be the most genius doctor in the whole universe until he sold his soul to the devil. He got what he wanted but he forgot that he sold his soul so the devils took his soul away and dragged on the underground."
"So you mean, Faustus sold his soul just to get what he wants?" Gerard asked.
"Exactly." Helena replied
"Why does people do that in order to have power?" Gerard asked in disappointment.
"The answer is; desperation. People want to have the most. Insecurities, because they want fame and glory. They wanted to be on the top and never want to go down." Helena answered.
"But why? Why to the demons? Don't they know that they have God to provide their wants?" Gerard asked.
"Not all people understands that, Gerard...." Helena said.
