My Gift To Her
Disclaimer:
I do not own anything related to Tru Calling. This fan fiction is based off the season one episode 'Two Weddings and a Funeral'.Prologue
Tru doesn't understand what a gift I've given her. What I told her about Harrison is the truth. I didn't want to see him die anymore than Tru did. But Fate needed to have its way. Someone had to die in Harrison's place.
She doesn't seem to understand that I could have made sure Harrison died once more. But no, I'm not as cold hearted at Tru believes I am. I let Harrison live for her. His life was my gift to Tru, from me, not Fate.
I can understand that she was upset about Luc, but would she have rather lost her brother? Someone else had to die if Harrison was to live. And good old Luc was just basically in the wrong place at the wrong time. But Tru will get over it eventually. She hates me now. Everyone hates me. They just can't seem to understand what a favor I am doing for the world.
Harrison's lucky to be alive. If I hadn't been friends with him—and he wasn't Tru's brother—he'd have the one in the casket, not Luc. Harrison's life was my gift to her and she can't seem to see it. She only sees Luc's death and blames me for it.
"You have no idea what you've begun," she tells me, her beautiful face full of angry and hatred all directed at me.
Of course I know what I've begun. I started it, didn't I? But I relish this uttered challenge. After all, its makes my dull-as-dishwater existence worthwhile. Maybe one of these days, she'll notice my gift, but until then, I look forward to our next meeting.
