Day's End
“I tossed off my blankets and got out of bed again. It was two days after our confrontation with StrikeForce at the prison, and Connor seemed to be avoiding me again, which was more than fine, as far as I was concerned.
He’d yelled and screamed and then, stupidly, dared to raise a hand to me when we’d gotten back. He’d earned himself a gushing nose in return, and I wondered if he was crazy or just stupid. Or did he maybe like it when I beat the shit out of him, even though he was the one who was... supposed to be in control? I mean, really. He could have used his stupid control phrase on me just to make sure I wouldn’t hurt him back.
As long as I had just had an injection, I was numb enough that I really didn’t care about trying to figure out Connor or his motivations or anything else. The thing was, they just seemed less effective now. Sure, they’d make me feel numb and cold for a while, but it wore off much faster, and the numbness wasn’t as strong as it had been. The first night, I’d gone to Lorne and pretty much begged him for another injection.MoreLess
