The last few weeks have been weird. You gotta love the impromptu blizzard to remind us that shit is going to hit the fan any time now. I threw down with Lexi during it and realized she is a lot stronger than I expected. She might be the most perfectly matched person I have ever fought. And that is only because she is still a little sloppy and not aware of her power. The moment she really gets a grip on it, well I have no idea what I'm going to do. I couldn't kill her. I tell myself it's because she held her own with me, but maybe I just couldn't kill her.
I know she can kill me. I saw it in her eyes. She's hungry for it. She wants to settle the score with me, and honestly I guess I can't blame her. That doesn't mean I plan to roll over and let her do it either. I'm a survivor, and they don't call me the Destroyer for nothing.
The one source of sanctuary in all this insanity has been Fred. I hadn't set out for it to happen, but it did and I don't regret it. It's weird for other people, I know, but it feels...natural to me. I know that she has to be about as sick of this hotel as I am so I'm going to see if she wants to drive out to Vegas for New Year's Eve. We deserve a break, and really I'm ready to get the fuck out of town with her for a bit.
I packed a bag and made the short walk from my room down the hall to hers. Knocking on the door, I waited for her to answer. Hopefully she would want to get the hell out of her as much as I did.
