I was about halfway to the beach when I caught the scent of my sister. Immediately I stopped and stepped into the shadows of the bushes so that I could check my surroundings. There was no telling if she knew what had happened to me or not. She was a slayer and her instincts would be to stake me. I couldn't let that happen. I watched as she

The talk with my father had shaken me up more than I wanted it to or even expected that it would. I've always wanted to see him even if it was just to yell at him till I was blue in the face, but it hadn't gone anything like that. God, what was it when I talked to any Osborn for the first time? I tell myself I'll act one way, but when the time comes I act the complete opposite. I'd practically perfected being able to close myself off to people over the past couple of years and now I was having trouble going back to that when I wanted to so badly. I hated that I'd allowed myself to become so vunerable

That stung more than I expected. I guess I should have been more prepared for people that I loved not accepting me for what I was now. Maybe I had this false sense of hope after things had went down better than I expected with Faith

I stood there for a moment watchin' as Buffy walked - no, ran off, catchin' up with Dawn. Another shared look with Lex and I was outta there. Figured I'd get in the water but with people on the beach, I decided against getting in there and headed back into the jungle. There were streams and what not and sides, water was a bit cleaner - not that it 'really' mattered all that much

"I might be new at this, but I pretty much know how it works. You're wearing his face, but you're not Harry anymore. Why should I give you a chance to talk just so you can convince me of something else?" I was so angry. So fucking angry and all that anger was the only think keeping me from falling apart completely. Until now I'd pretty much been in denial, but now I could practically feel the anger boiling inside.

I watched him sit down on the ground and okay what the hell was that? Was he trying to fuck with me so I'd trust him? I didn't have time to think about that because the next thing I knew someone was walking towards us and apparently he and Harry knew each other.

Frowning, I tensed. Oh this was just great. Another fucking vampire who was claiming to be good. Yeah, because THAT was possible. Angel and his fucking soul had worked out really well for Harry

Spike decided he didn't want a part of our 'reunion' so after saying Dawn was alright and confirming that it had been Clark to take her, he left. Fine. Whatever. I shook my head as Harry spoke about Dad, refusing to believe him. What possible reason would Dad have to lie to me after all this time? What good could it possibly do him now?

He said that all three of them saw Dad, but I just wanted to yell at him that I had too. I'd seen him and he hadn't tried to hurt me. He'd done exactly the opposite right? I was holding onto his words so tight. It was everything I'd always wanted to hear from him and here Harry was trying to tell me that it wasn't true.

"I never wanted to cut you out of my life. God, that's the last thing I wanted. Well actually I never expected to be in a position to be cut from anything. You weren't supposed to be the big brother that I'd always wanted and I'd go on with my life just fine. I mean, I'm not ungrateful for the way everything turned out but this is the exact reason I didn't want it to go

"People don't change, Nicole. Not really." I told her in a soft tone. It wasn't like I hadn't been where she was. I knew what it was like to try and defend Dad while trying to hide the scars he left on me emotionally and physically. It was the emotional ones that always cut deepest anyway

[icant_saveme]

Why did it have to be one or the other? Harry or my dad? What stupid higher fucking power made the rules to say that one had to be evil? All of this one versus the other or believing one over. Part of me wanted to just say fuck it all and walk away. Except that was a little hard considering I physically couldn't leave this island

[ny_city_boy]

There was something that she said that pushed everything else away. The way she talked made me think that she had talked to him. Did he come for her?

"Nicole, have you seen Dad?" I asked in a quiet voice as I looked at her. It was something that I needed to know and only she could tell me if he came for her.

I knew how hard it was to tune him out, but he wasn't getting her. He walked out on her and he couldn't have her now. Even if I couldn't have my sister, I'd be damned if he got to have her. She was untainted by the Osborn side of violence and abuse and I couldn't let her get dragged into now.

God, I owed her that much. I owed her mother that much.
