June 9th, 2008 Midnight - Sojourner's POV
Sojourner did not like this.
She didn't share that opinion because she knew why this had to happen. She could see the tapestry, more like a Sari to her than anything else with it's silken strands shimmering in her preternatural sight. She could see the intersections of Fate like jewels in a shimmery pattern, this Event was inevitable. She knew that, it didn't mean she liked it.
She failed Keri. She'd made a promise to her years ago but ever since Keri was forced Awake? She couldn't seem to get a handle on the enormity of what it meant to Keri. Until the last few weeks. And just when Jou thought there was more time? It ran out. Like a bullet to the back of Keri's head.
Why her lot in life was to repeatedly watch people get gunned down right in front of her, she'll never know.
She saw Eric peek at the outcome of this Event but there wasn't a single moment's hesitation on his part. His willingness to do this made her feel a little small. She could have done this for Keri. But she would have never done it. She wouldn't have ever considered it. She wouldn't have even chanced it.
Sheridan's suicide scared her away from even conceiving of such a thing. Another issue to add to the list of things she needed to work on.
She focused on Eric and watched the skill he used to move forward and backward in time, to weave the new destiny Keri would face. Keri has no idea of what she wished for. I tried to warn her to be very careful about this. But when one is in pain, all they can think of is how to claw out of it.
This needed to happen. And all that's left is to take care of the aftermath.
Jou had the cellphone in her hand, ready to dial 911 before Eric hit the floor.
