She's thought a lot lately about ifs and maybes, could haves and should haves. If only she hadn't been destined to give birth to the savior of mankind. Maybe she could have had a normal life- married, living in a house with a white picket fence. She could have had this. She should have had that.
The prospect of dying was so frightening to her. She faced death everyday. She'd been stabbed and shot at and chased more times than she could count, but this was different.
She couldn't run away from this. It was inside her.
But this is the sort of thing that makes you fearless. Even as she watched her hair float down in clumps into the sink, even as she watched her cheeks getting hollow and dark. She watched John's fear and Derek's anger mount, but all she could think about was seizing the day, living life to the fullest. It was in her nature.
She was Sarah Connor. She was hard as nuclear nails.
