As soon as I joined the fight I knew that we were all going to die. There was too many of them and too little of us. They were too powerful and we weren't. Wolfram and Hart had forces that they weren't expecting, and that was something I could tell by the looks of fear on all of their faces. But I fought. I fought to protect my city, I fought to protect my friends, and mostly I fought to protect my family. I owed my family and the people surrounding me, my old family, that much. We had lost so many so recently. I lost my Cordelia. I blocked that though out of my head and concentrate fully on my fighting. Well, I concentrate fully at least until the woman showed up. She was so good at fighting and seemed to know a battle plan. She seemed all-knowing, powerful, and she was absolutely stunning.
I finished killing the demon I was killing, and just stopped. I watched her in motion. She had a flowing movement in her fighting. She just seemed to know what she was doing, like she had done this before. For all I know, she could have done this before. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the look of shock on my dad's face. Like he had seen her before, no, wait, it was like he knew her. But mixed in with the shock was a bit of longingness and a bit of fear. Who was this mysterious woman that made my dad feel the way he did? I bet she's powerful and dangerous and she is so intriguing. She was perfect.
A vampire sneaks up quietly toward her and she doesn't notice the beast sneaking up on her. I sprint over and stake the monster. She turns around and I gasp, taking in her beauty fully. Her eyes were so blue and looked as if they held the universe. Her long brown hair with perfect curls flowing gently in the soft breeze. Her pink, soft lips that were slightly chapped. She was perfect. Then I gasp. I recognize her. She has changed but she was in my distant memory. She was from my child hood. I remember her more now. She was the only one who was kind to me when I was little. She had babied me when my da… Holtz wasn't around. But she looked so different. She had had shorter hair and it was dyed blonde. Also, she gave off a different vibe this time. It was still a kind vibe but it just felt different. But how does my dad know her? Who is she exactly? Why was she here?
"Hello Connor" I hear her say.
