Seeking peace Who: Rachel Summers and Kurt Wagner What: Lending an ear When: Day 16 Where: Cathedral Rating: Low
Nate. Remy. Gone. Rachel was learning that it was possible to hurt so much you went numb. She missed them. Remy had helped keep the nightmares away. Rachel hadn’t slept for more than three hours at a time since. Nate…he was family. She had thought she could be close to him, but the last bit of time she’d had with him she’d spent angry with him. Guilt was already a big thing in Rachel’s life…all though she didn’t know why…now it was more so.
Ever since she came to campus Rachel had found the large derelict cathedral and its grounds peaceful. Some might think it grim, but she would meditate and exercise her abilities in the cemetery. Today, however, she sought out the quiet of the main sanctuary of the old church, quietly entering and even more quietly sliding into one of the few pews still standing and able to bear weight.
She wasn’t sure she bought into religion, not really knowing much about it even on an instinctual level, but she did find being in this place comforting. Sitting there, she didn’t bother with the mental impulse she usually put out to hide her facial tattoos. It just seemed…pointless. Staring blankly before her she let the tears begin to slide slowly over the scars on her cheeks.
