No, no, no -

"No!"

Cordelia wakes up with a start, sitting upright on her bed with her hands clutching her blanket like a lifeline. For several moments she looks around her in alarm, wondering where the hell she is and where the others are, wondering if this is another one of those times she unfortunately opened her eyes only to be sliced and diced again and--

Then she rests her head on her hands, and breathes. It's over now. It's over and done with and they're all safe but the images are still burned in her brain, like a vision that's been put on eternal loop.

Slowly - mindful of the pains that plague her - Cordelia gets out of bed. She looks down at herself, sees the numerous bandages that are wrapped around her body, and sighs.

And here she thought she'd be safe in Taxon. Pfft.

She gets up, and walks over to the mirror. Cordelia looks at her reflection, and bites her lip.

God.

"Mummy girl much?" she whispers.

More or less.

Wow.

Hey, maybe if that same rule applied in our world as well, then there'd be less evil demons to kill.

You kill folks who don't do nothing? Damn.

I meant the part about 'don't kill and you won't get killed in the process', dumbass.

So you kill folks just for being demonic, is my point.

And mine's the whole 'we kill them because they kill people', Harvestman. If they're demons and they kill innocents, then it's very much our business.

Thing is, with my world you gotta have some kinda proof, no matter how flimsy that proof is. Everybody knows there ain't no vampire out there who hasn't killed nobody.

[ she sighs ] I know. I don't think I've ever met a vampire who hasn't killed anyone yet - unless they're fresh-from-the-grave-with-a-touch-of-coffin.

Havne't yet run into anybody who could stop themselves, least at first.

Probably part of the whole 'being reborn' thing - having a self-control of a gnat in the beginning? Not that I'd know exactly, but.

I sincerely hope you never have to know firsthand.
