End of Days

Enough is enough.

He's been in a black temper for days, since his conversation with the priest. He wakes up on a Sunday, the day dedicated to the worship of the false god, detirmined to have his way. Either Sabrina will reign at his side willingly, or he'll force her to, one way or another.

The bar is easy enough to find. It's underground, down a narrow set of stairs and then it's burnished wood and copper and soft light. It reminds him a lot of Gray's place in Greendale and, as such, seems like a perfect place to set up his throne.

The bartender puts up a small fight. There's a bullet wound that stings for a second before he heals it, leaving behind the faintest of silver scars on Nick Scratch's skin. He takes the man apart a piece at a time, buries his hands in viscera until his nails are grimed with blood. The man tastes sweet in all his pain and terror.

He stops hiding. He broadcasts his presence far and wide.
Let his daughter come.

It's time that they spoke face to face, with everything out in the open. It's time that this came to an end.

"Shh, stay still if you can, please," she says, pleading and soft and desperate. For all that the lance had inflicted its own pain, she's hurting him too in her attempts to help--pushing against his side, keeping her hands locked tight with Charlie's--and she swallows down another sob, hating herself for adding to his discomfort. If this doesn't work, if Sabrina turns her into something small and easily squashed for losing Nick and failing her, Rosie thinks she'll almost welcome it.

"Dan's still...he stayed with the truck, right?" she asks, blinking back tears as she looks over at Charlie. "I don't know if we move him, or...or wait, or...I don't know."
