It's almost time to visit Bael. Tara has discovered the spell that will prevent Bael from relying on his invisbility gifts and Willow will help to stabilize the spell as Tara casts it. Alex and Galen are prepared to protect Des and Gia, and I admit, I called in back up with Vincent. He is waiting out of sight, though Alex will feel his presence, of the apartments, prepared to use any means necessary to ensure no one in the apartments will be harmed.
It's strange to reach this level of calm when I'm about to fall back on a side of myself that I have suppressed for so long. Yeah, Oz still calls me evil lady, but that name honestly doesn't suit me any longer. I play by the rules of my family and have made the choice to fight on the side of good. It has cost me countless friends and relationships, but it is a choice I would make a thousand times over.
They are my family and I love them. That is why it is ironic that I will have to tap into the side of me that is dark in order to save them.
When you are faced with evil, you have to fight it by any means necessary. I'm not sure if a lot of people get that, but the kids do. There is a darkness in each of them due to the lives they lived before they met each other and formed this family. They are survivors and protectors and they will not stand by and allow anyone they care about to be hurt. I understand that, it's exactly how I am, and that is why I am looking at my reflection in the mirror and remembering who I was before I became a part of this family. Remembering what it was about me that drew Bael in. What made me irresistible to him and I am ready to go back to that place.
To do whatever is necessary to give Connor the advantage in taking Bael out. We will not fail. There is too much at stake. Once this over, we can go back home, shake this off, and focus on repairing the damage Bael left behind. For now, it's best to just focus on the objective at hand.
Killing Bael.
