Despite What Spence Thinks

It's time to pay my respects to a good woman. Rachael is dead. She was a damn good friend to me, took me in right after Cam died, helped try to save Shrody when I couldn't. She helped gentle Joel when he was a Wolf, and she stepped in and took a very sad, lonely little girl who'd forgotten how to be a child to Disney World.

It's a little hard to imagine, a woman as full of life and determination as she was when I last saw her, gone. She was fighting so hard for her own salvation, trying to earn the right to the peace she wanted more than anything. Unlike some of us, she wasn't an engrained fighter-she fought out of desperation, something that went so very against the nature of the poor gentle woman I was honestly amazed she did so well.
She was a softhearted woman who once chose to slice into her own flesh over and over to avoid doing harm to a runner, when the urges got too strong.
And now she's dead. By the hands of the very man she'd risked everything to protect. I hope she's found some peace.

In other news. Elliott's gone off to visit Richard again, said not to expect him back for a while, so it's just Em and I. And a new companion, at least temporarily. A couple more notes, nothing particularly interesting, they've just been on the windshield of my car. Either my stalker has run out of ideas or they're plotting something big.

  2. I'm sincerely sorry for your loss. She was a great woman. Brave. Strong. The world is a worse place without her.

    Réquiem ætérnam dona ei Dómine; et lux perpétua lúceat ei. Requiéscat in pace. Amen.

    1. Thanks. It means a lot. I wasn't really sure what the other side would think of her, considering.

  3. Such strong urges for her to halfta destroy herself like that.

  4. I'm... sorry I didn't know much about Rachael, hers was one of the blogs I never got around to...

    I'm sorry for your loss, regardless. She sounds like she was a good friend.

  6. Rachael was a good lady, and how she died.. well, it was heartbreaking. She is.. was, one of the few people I actually liked in this mythos.

    Cheers to the lady that knew love better than most of us.

    1. Not heartbreaking. A fucking joke.

      I still refuse to believe it ended that way. Pisses me to high hell, it does.
