alecmcdowellBen had sat there for most of the night. He'd told his little brother that he'd stay with him and Rachel and he still had plans to. But tonight he was playing guardian angel and he didn't want his little brother to worry. So while Aine slept, he calls Alec.
She wanted it done so it was done. There were no questions asked. Her word was law. She told him whom to kill. And when he got the message he did it surgically… precise. They never stood a chance against him. He was faster and better.
Most of the times it was priests… he’d test their faith in her. And if he thought that their faith wasn’t strong enough… he’d tattoo his barcode on the back of their necks and give them a weapon before sending them out. Oh, they’d get a head start and then he was off after them. Hunting them down like the animal they were… or like he was. And afterwards he’d surgically remove their teeth.
She willed it to be done. So it got done. The teeth were his sacrifice to her. In attempts to make her heart grow stronger. Because the stronger her heart… the more she’d protect them.

Jun. 5th, 2007 06:43 pmWhat could be considered a person’s home? For me I’m not sure what home is. I’ve never had one. Not a real one. Manticore… Manticore was home. It was where I was born and where I was raised. That is until ’09. In ’09 twelve of us escaped from Manticore. But we split up… something about it being safer that way. It wasn’t. There were too many things out there in the real world that I didn’t understand. Things that made no sense whatsoever. It wasn’t home. It wasn’t Manticore.
Manticore was so simple… I at least knew, no… not knew but understood the place. Out in the real world… it wasn’t home. And I needed home. But it became too late. I did some bad things and Maxie found me. Maxie did what I wanted her to. And in the end I found the perfect home for me. One that wasn’t so hard to understand. One where I didn’t have to worry about being the perfect soldier… or even the broken one. No… this new home was nice… it made more sense.
Home was the Good Place. Where all the good little soldiers went. Here… here I knew I was home and knew that I’d be safe.

Nov. 1st, 2006 05:10 pmSeattle... broken and blooded. Too many unanswered questions. Manticore... Just the name made him shiver slightly. He'd been dead. Been in the Good Place. But they couldn't leave him be. He remembers waking up in one of the cells. Down with the Nomilies and he could feel his insides knot up. And then they'd come for him... put him through psy-ops. Tried to make him not crazy anymore but it didn't work. He was broken. And blooded much like Seattle was. When he did get out he'd run. Ran hard and fast and headed to the only safe place he knew. The high place. The tower that Maxie liked so much. It was for now his safe haven. He couldn't allow himself to get caught. Now or ever. He wouldn't go back. Wouldn't let himself be stuck with the Nomilies.
