Happy Birthday to me. I'm officially 22 and feel kind of older than that considering what these past few weeks have been like. Mom and Dad called and wanted to know when I'd make it out to see them. I promised that Jack, Trick and I would head up soon, but we're needed in town right now. A lot of the cleaning has been finished up. Mayor Justus ( Read more... )

"Oh Paige." Jack said as he looked down at Paige. She was bleeding so much, so fast. I kneeled beside her. I could see her slipping away ( Read more... )

So, this is what war is like. The fighting has been pretty constant since Saturday. Our back up help arrived in the form of a vampire with slayer powers, a teenager with slayer like powers, and a human Captain. Jack and Captain Holtz have been going over strategies. They seem to think alike and I know Jack is grateful to have someone who offers ( Read more... )

The group covering the roof this morning got attacked. Jack, Trick, Maddy, Evalon, Rixte and some of the soldiers handled things. They managed to win the attack. We helped to cover them from the windows when we realized they were being attacked. Sean was right beside me, covering me as usual ( Read more... )

Jack took my idea about grabbing one of their guys to make up for what happened with Paige and turned it into a workable plan. He took a small team with him, including the pixies, and did an attack while Sean, me and a few others created a diversion from the roof. We fire flaming arrows and set things on fire. It was kind of cool. They took out a ( Read more... )

Ashmore and his troops are outside. Watching and waiting for god knows what. I'm trying to not watch the windows to much. Don't want to give them the satisfaction of knowing they are getting to me. To us. Because they are getting to us. It's this weird feeling, knowing that only a few bricks separate us from the worst fight any of us have probably ( Read more... )

I was in surgery when the hospital was attacked. Guess I got to sleep through it. Lucky me. I'm so groggy and out of it. The pain meds they gave me kind of leave me loopy. It's weird...I was in the park, and then the hospital. Now I'm in a high school. The irony of finding refuge in a high school after I transferred to Sunnydale so I wouldn't have ( Read more... )

The talk with Yuffie went way different than I figured. We ended up exchanging apologies and deep dark secrets. I told him things I've never admitted to anyone. It's weird how easy it can be to relate to a stranger. Maybe it's the no expectations thing. Knowing you can't disappoint them because they don't know you well enough to be disappointed ( Read more... )

Last night was an adventure in what not to do when on patrol with people you don't know very well. Man, things just spiralled out of control so damn fast. I take responsibility of it. Truth is, I was on edge and pissed off at a lot of things that had nothing to do with my job. Usually I can separate whatever my personal stuff is from professional. ( Read more... )

When I was a little girl, Mama used to tell me that if I ever was scared and needed a place of refuge, outside of home, that the Church will always be there. When my brother Mikey was a kid and got real sick with leukemia and no one was sure if he was going to make it, I spent hours at the Church with Mama, Joey and Eddie. Daddy, he didn't come to ( Read more... )
