Reflection

[Momento]

[ Obviously this is Momento thinking, in the shadow realm, about what happened. Thoughts, not a journal. ]

Some will ask.

Some will accuse.

Some will paint me the devil.

Some will think me confused.

None will see what I did.

None will know how amazing these people are.

None will understand why I gave everything I had, for people I'd never met.

In the end, none of that matters.

In the end, I know what I did was right, and though I knew I would fall, I fell for a cause I thought was just.

No one, ever, has any right to tell anyone else who can and can not live.

They forget it was the vampires who wanted war. They forget it was the vampires who pushed their hands.

How easily we all forget.

Now Suzzie-Q will never have her father again. Ever. Isi will never have her uncle, and she was pulled into this.. without any choice. Without thoughts of what would happen. She never wanted this. Maddy.. god I hope she isn't freaking out. I will find her.

Yak seems fine, her normal self, but a bit less happy.

I do not know what more I can do, while I am dead, but I will do everything in my power to help them with this life.

I knew what I was doing. I knew about the shadow realm from Sliver.

I knew.

I don't think any of them did, not even Emanuel, and there was only so much time to tell them things before... before I knew it would end.

If there is a god out there, somewhere, hear my prayers.

Allow these girls peace, for I died trying to defend them against those who wanted war.

I rarely ever care about anyone, or anything, save for Sliver and Requiem. This means something to me.

So grant me my wish.

Or I will die a million deaths trying to give it to them.
