Dollhouse saga; "Forever always, For eternity "

We Need to Talk

LIAM POV

I was in the kitchen cleaning up mine and Isla's lunch mess because she had to go to an interview with a fashion magazine. Suddenly, I heard the front door crash open and Isla running down the front stairs yelling. Then, I heard his voice. Louis is home...

And I can sense he isn't alone.

I walk out into the living room and I hear Isla gushing over Louis. Here goes the kissy face shit again. I've listened to her whine and cry for the last few days over how much she missed him. The first night I felt bad, but then it didn't stop. It's never about me, always about him and she can't be without him. She never once thought about how much I missed Lou. It's always all about the two of them and I'm sick of it.

Rounding the corner, I see his perfect face. I've missed him so much. I'm actually relieved Isla is leaving so I can spend some time with Louis. Unfortunately, he's so wrapped up in her he doesn't notice me. Finally, she pulls away and walks out the door and I make my move towards him.

Throwing the kitchen towel down, I reach Louis and give him a tight hug and close my eyes taking in the moment. Feeling his body against mine makes me feel complete, but he responds with no more than a light pat on the back. I go to pull away to kiss him and when I look up, I see Kathleen standing behind him with a shocked expression on her face. Louis takes a step back and speaks the words that feel like they will change my existence forever...

"We need to talk."

Louis looks at me expectantly like I should know what we are going to talk about. I don't know, but one thing I am certain is that it's not good because Kathleen came along.

"Okay. Alone?" I shift my eyes between Louis and Kathleen.

"No."

This definitely is not going to be good. I feel anger beginning to rage within me because I know whatever this little 'talk' is about is going to piss me off. Why did he have to bring that bitch of a best friend back with him? If I ignore her, will she get the hint and go back to where she came from? Why does there always have to be someone getting in between us? Why can't it ever just be me and Louis?

KATHLEEN POV

Louis wasn't telling tales about Liam. My special gift is that I can sense moods of all beings. Before Liam entered the room, I felt his calm presence change to anger and tension. The look he shot Isla and Louis as they reunited could kill a mortal. His jealousy is palpable.

It's more than that. When his eyes landed on me, he looked almost murderous. The way he held onto Louis for dear life makes me believe what Louis has been telling me about Liam even more. Initially, I was thinking I'd return with Louis and then warn Isla of what Louis was up to, but I realize his concern about Liam is real.

We haven't even begun talking yet and I am already starting to wonder which plan of action to take if Liam doesn't listen to what we tell him. Louis obviously loves Liam and his intentions are pure because if it were me, I'd have sent him to his true death - and I've only been here a few minutes!

"Um, Louis. Why don't I get us some drinks? I remember my way around your kitchen," I try to break the building tension in the room.

"That would b---," Louis is cut of by a livid Liam.

"Who the fuck you think you are coming in my house and acting like you own the place?!" Liam screeches and Louis steps in between us as Liam advances towards me in a rage.

"She would be my oldest and dearest friend, this is OUR house, and you do not disrespect her," how Louis managed to remain calm is beyond me. I'm struggling to reign in my anger and keep my eyes from turning red.

"I am NOT apologizing!"

"Do you understand now?" Louis turns to me with an apologetic look on his face and I simply nod. He's right, this is no longer the sweet and carefree Liam I've known for countless decades.

"Understand what? What the fuck is your problem Louis?"

"Liam, please calm down and let's just talk," Louis gives him a smile.

"I don't fucking want to talk! I just want to be with you!" Liam tries to lunge for Louis but Louis holds him off.

"Liam, this is exactly why we need to talk. You can either sit down on your own or Kathleen and I will force you to sit. Come on now, we've been mates for too long not to be able to sit and have a chat," Louis should have been a saint instead of a Dracula because he has the patience of one.

"Fine!" Liam huffs, stomps off to the living room, and throws himself in a chair.

I don't think this conversation is going to go well.

LIAM POV

I am beyond piss! We need to talk my ass! The last thing I want to do is talk! If I could just distract Louis with sex, I could make whatever bomb he's planning on dropping on me disappear.

"So, this little talk...does it have to do with sex?" I ask with a smirk on my face.

"I guess you could say that has something to do with it," Louis scratches the back of his neck and looks at Kathleen. Hey, maybe I have been wrong about this. Maybe Kathleen came to "play".

"Oh, so you two been having some fun while you were away Lou?" I wink and then suddenly regret my actions when both their eyes go red and Louis flies at me knocking me from the chair and pinning me to the ground.

LOUIS POV

Are you kidding me? He seriously dared to even crack a joke that I'd cheat on Isla. I could kill him right now. Slowly he continues to destroy our friendship with his cruel words and actions. Everyday he slips away a little more. It's only that realization, and Kathleen tugging on my arm, that prevents me from ripping Liam's head off.

"I will say this once. If you ever, ever again imply that I would cheat on Isla, I will kill you on the spot without mercy. Have I made myself clear?" I say in an even and cold tone.

"Crystal," Liam shoots back.

"Good. Now go sit down. We are going to have this talk before Isla returns." We all get up and return to our seats.

This is not going to go well. We haven't even touched the topic yet and we've already almost had two fights. At least Kathleen knows I wasn't making all this up. She's witnessing his behavior first hand. I swear in two days he's gotten worse. He seems more obsessed with me. I hope he was good to Isla while I was gone; I couldn't bear if he was mean to her or hurt her. She seemed fine when I saw her though. I need to focus. If I start thinking about Isla, I won't get through this conversation.

"Liam, I don't really know a good way to start this," I begin. "I've tried to word this a number of different ways in my head, but nothing seems to come out right. So, I'm just going to come right out and say it. It is time for you to go to your eternal rest."

Nothing.

You could hear a pin drop. I could always hear a pin drop because of my supernatural senses, but a mortal with a hearing impairment could hear a pin drop right now in this room.

I see Liam's face begin to contort with anger. It's only a matter of time now.

Wait for it. Wait for it...

"Louis you fucking asshole I'm going to kill you!!" And, there it is. I move slightly out of his way as he dives at me.

"Liam, you can't kill me, but I can kill you - and I will if you don't have a seat and calm down. I am not going to fight with you," I say in a calm voice. Kathleen looks like she is ready to pounce on him. I have to stay in control so that Isla doesn't pick up in my conscious that this conversation is happening. It would be a disaster if she came in on this scene. Kathleen and I will explain everything to her later. It's going to be hard.

"I'll sit but I am not going to calm down. What the hell is wrong with you? You want me dead? Don't you love me?" His last question hurt.

"Liam, I love you like a brother. You know I do. I've protected you from my father more than once from true death. But, to answer your other questions, nothing is wrong with me and I want you to have eternal life, not death." It's the truth.

"Don't kid yourself you selfish prick! You want me out of the way so you can have Isla to yourself!"

"Liam, if I saw you as a threat between me and Isla, you'd have been gone long ago. Trust me."

"And you! Did he bring you here to do the deed?"

"No Liam," Kathleen responds, "I am here to judge your mood and well-being and to help with the, uh, process,"

"You're actually serious? You'd go through with this charade just to have Isla to yourself?"

"Liam, Isla is mine. She bears my mark. It wasn't until you dared attempt to leave a hickey over that very mark that I realized how far gone you are. I let the grouchiness go, I played off the jealous rages over me and Isla's relationship as nothing serious. But, the mark was a death wish on your part. Any other Dracula would have put you to true death on the spot and you know it."

"You wanna kill me? Go ahead and fucking kill me and explain it to Isla! She'll hate you!"

"She'll never hate me Liam. Even if she is mad for awhile, she is my destiny. She will be my queen and bear my children."

"Oh that's the REAL issue! You wanna run back to daddy and be king and you need the gay ghost boy out of the way!" I see Kathleen from the corner of my eye and her eyes are glowing red. She looks like she is trying hard to control herself. She must feel an extreme amount of darkness within Liam to put her in such a state.

"I am not getting rid of you to have Isla to myself. You know my proposal and our marriage is going to happen. You've always known that and you had to realize that there cannot be three people in a marriage."

Judging by the look on his face, I don't think he ever did realize it.

"I hate you Lou! I wish you'd burn in hell!" I hear Kathleen hiss at Liam's words and I shoot her a look to relax.

"No, you don't. You love me and I know you always have, just not in a way I can return." He looks devastated, but at least it's calmed him down enough that I can continue with the conversation.

"Liam, you've roamed around for too many years with your murder unresolved. You need peace. Be honest, if Isla and I were married, what would you do with the rest of your existence?"

"I'd stay here."

"Alone?"

"Yeah?"

"And that would make you happy?"

"No, I don't really want to exist without you,"

"Have you ever thought that maybe all this time the reason you love me Liam is because I've been your protector and the only person who showed you mercy and friendship?"

"No, I'm in love with you."

"Why?"

"Because you're you."

"Because you can't give me a better answer than that?" I say quirking an eyebrow and giving him a half smile.

"Don't you fucking smile at me! I hate you! You'd have me dead!"

"You already are dead. I'm trying to help you because I do love you. I can't watch this darkness take over you anymore. I want you to have peace. I won't watch you destroy yourself, hurt Isla, and destroy our friendship. I will kill you myself before I let you do that."

"You'd kill me?"

"If you force my hand, yes. I love you enough to kill you before you destroy yourself."

"I really fucking hate you Lou. Do I get to say goodbye to Isla?"

"No, not now."

"Am I coming back?"

"Yes. Kathleen is going to go back in time with you on your journey. She agreed to be your guide and help you solve your murder. Then, you will come back here and we will prepare for your transformation."

"You've thought it all out," he spat.

"Liam, it's going to be okay."

"No, it's going to be okay for you and Isla, not me."

"Yes, it will. Once you are at peace, your soul will remain with me and Isla forever. I promise not to leave you Liam, not ever."

"This is shit and you know it! You're forcing me to leave!"

"In a way, yes, but in the end we will ALL be okay whether you choose to believe me now or not. Now, go up and pack. I need you and Kathleen gone before Isla returns."

"Are you going to tell her the truth?"

"Of course. I told you. Your soul will stay with us forever. I can't just hide you for all eternity."

"Fuck you Lou."

Liam just gets up and walks upstairs. This was much more difficult than I anticipated. In fact, it's the hardest thing I've ever done in my existence and next I have to explain this all to Isla. I really didn't want to do this as soon as I got back, but after Liam's outburst as soon as Isla left, I knew I couldn't delay. As difficult as this is, I have to focus on that in the end my friend will be at peace and with us forever and Isla and I will move forward with a family.

LIAM POV

That fucking asshole. I don't care how calm he acts and matter-of-fact he plans on ending my existence, I hate him. How could I have ever loved him? Maybe I didn't really. Maybe he's right. It would make it easier to hate him then.

Why the hell do I care about who killed me? It was ages ago. Now I have to put up with Kathleen and relive all this shit. I can't hurt her, but once I'm out of here I can go about scaring and hurting people and that will make me feel a whole hell of a lot better.

I throw my stuff in a bag, but before I leave I have one more thing to do. Quickly, I scribble down a note for Isla:

Isla,
I'm sorry I had to leave without saying goodbye. I'll miss you my sweet girl.
Love,
Liam
P. S. This is all Louis' fault


I place the note in the top of her underwear drawer. I hope she confronts him and hates him for sending me away. I love Isla, but I hate the thought that she will have Louis for eternity and I won't be with him anymore. It was supposed to be me with him. I should have killed her when she was human and then I could have made him mine. At least I can cause trouble between them.

KATHLEEN POV

I sense what Liam is doing upstairs and he's up to no good. There is evil growing inside him as well as hate. He doesn't believe nor trust that Louis is telling the truth, but he is. Liam's reality about himself is becoming so warped he sees only what he wants to see. He's going to be a handful on this journey.

"Um Lou?"

"Yes."

"I'm really sorry things got so ugly between you two."

"Thanks. Things aren't about to get any easier when I explain it all to Isla tonight."

"Yes, about that. I know what Liam is up to upstairs. He doesn't trust you. He's still convinced this is all about you having Isla to yourself--"

"Ugh, I'm so tired of explaining that is going to happen eventually anyhow."

"I know Lou. You don't have to convince me. I'd know if you were lying. I just wanted to tell you he planted a note in Isla's underwear drawer to cause trouble," Louis' mouth drops open.

"That son of a bitch."

"Well, that's the least of the problem. He's planning on wreaking havoc on innocents while we are away, but I will control him."

"Thank you so much Kathleen, I'm so fortunate you are my friend."

"Repay me by taking Isla away from here for a few days. She'll need the distraction and your comfort to process all this."

"That's a good idea." We are interrupted by Liam coming down the stairs,

"Okay Liam, You ready?"

"Yes," for someone who looked heartbroken a few minutes ago, he looks like a mass murderer now.

"Liam, I really am sorry. I don't mean this to hurt you. I love you," Louis pulls Liam into an embrace and cries while Liam just stands there with his hands by his sides staring ahead.

"Whatever, I'm out of here. Next time you see me will be the last I guess," Liam turns and walks out the front door,

I smile at Louis, give him a hug, and hurry after Liam. He's too dangerous to leave unattended.

Notes

Soooooo, whatcha think? What's going to happen next? Is Liam going to find his murderer and go to his eternal rest or go on a killing spree?

How is Isla going to handle the news when Louis tells her?

I was a total groupie over Dollhouse which, as ELMO told you, led to me getting to co-author the sequel. I love her characters and the first story was awesome.
