"Because this is what Earth is like Pep, and if you can't deal with it go back to your dimension. I'm sure you'd have a nice royal life there."
"Well, you aren't exactly dealing yourself are you?" Peps snapped back. I didn't answer.

"And guess what?!" I snapped, "I'm planning a visit home!!" With that I dissapeared and re-appeared into my home dimension. It good to be back, I smiled. Just for a vacation anyway.
((Jess, I have a plan, email me for more details))

At least she had somewhere to get away. We, we had nowhere. We were stuck.

It felt odd being here again. Watching these people, this family together. United by grief that I had as well but for someone I hadn't known that well.
When I had left for England she had been the girl who seemed broken, intent on staying away from all things non human and an instant enemy of Aredhel. When I came back, she was Charlie. Doc's girlfriend, beloved friend and birthday girl. I felt like I'd missed so much stuff, people had been brought back from the dead, babies were on the way, sisters and brothers were being unveiled. Being here, now, felt like some kind of awkward intrusion and I figured it would be better just to be at home.
I started to walk backwards with a half wave
"I-I think I'm just gonna go home. Leave you be. I, uh, I want you guys to call me if you need anything."

"Nicki!" I gasped, "Please dont..." I pried myself away from Doc and stood, if slightly wobbly. I threw my arms around her, "Please dont leave."
nicki was one of the first people i had known in LA. Even while Del was offering me acid Nicki had been civil to me, and now, she felt like a sister. The whole city had seemed wrong while she'd been gone, and right now, when i'd just lost both my child and a good friend, i wanted her here.

I felt tears slide down my cheeks as I hugged Maya back. With everything that had happened I didn't know how I could survive if anyone else was taken from me.. Whether they were my family or friends of my family it would destroy me, there had been too much death already. Too much spilled blood
"I'm not going anywhere Mai, I swear to you from now on I'll be right here. No more leaving. No more running." I took a breath and looked at the others. "Today has really made me question my own mortality and if anything ever happens to me then there's something that I want to get off my chest... You may or may not have noticed that there's been no mention of Katelyn and there's a reason for that. A few months ago she came to me and I had to... Had to stake her. It was part of the reason I went to England, to see my childhood and the time I spent with her and I didn't want to keep that bottled up in case I died."
I'd kept that caged within my mind for so long, and I was glad that the first people to know had been the people I regarded as my new family, not the family who had died so long ago.
((Been feeling angsty, and I did actually have intentions of bringing dead Katelyn up aaages ago before I left for a while but it never seemed appropriate. Still doesn't))

"This getting to be a habit," I said dryly, looking over at Tash, who had been all but forgotten in the waterworks.
"You alright?" She asked.
"No," I choked. "But I have to be. For them, I have to be strong."
"You haven't changed a bit," my sister said with a smile. I shrugged.
"I yam what I yam," I said in a bad Popeye impersonation, looking at Charlotte's body. "We'd better get things organised, I guess," this was going to be the hard part.

All of a sudden I felt very cold. I stood up. "I think I'll go slay something."

i said simply, hugging Nicki a little tighter. And that was the plain truth. I had to admit i was shocked- i had thought Katelyn was gonna turn out ok- apparently not. But i had been where Nicki had been, and so i understood.

"Don't do anything stupid," I said sternly. In the distance, I heard thunder roll, and yet there wasn't a cloud in the sky. At least she'd be in good hands.
"Show off," Tash muttered.

"I'm going home." I said quietly. "Someone wake me for..."
Doc just nodded. I hugged him once more,
"I'm so sorry."
He shook his head,
"Not your fault." He said. I turned away and made my way through the house- funny how it seemed such a long time since i was rushing up here.
