A/N: Here's the basic schedule for parts: I'll have 53 up on Friday, and will be getting 54 on Saturday. Unfortunately, I'll be away from my comp that day, so I'll have 54's chapter up on Sunday.

Tobias:

Rachel. She's on edge. Hell, we all are, but looking at her with her mother, with Cassie, with Jake... with everyone.

And I'm the only voice of reason. She doesn't set her harsh words and the monster inside of her upon me. I'm the one that pulls her back, the one that helps her when she's gone too far into the darkness of this war.

How hard will I have to pull? What if it comes down to me when she's gone to the edge, when she's about to kill someone with no more reason.

It wouldn't happen. Rachel, no matter how far she goes, would never kill in cold blood, with no reason, with no consciense.

But if she did, what would I do?

We have to do what's necessary to stop and win the war, to win humankind. Would killing Rachel be necessary if that happened?
