What Luck...

We were correct in our guess. We have found Atemu and Zahara and Adais. It was a wonderful reunion. We have even gotten them to move into our home. It will be crowded a little while until Atem can get us something a bit bigger. He is working on that. Could be next year before we get it though.

Everyone has been reunited and ...

well.. all is not well.

We went out with Atemu to celebrate us finding each other. When we came home, Atem received a phone call. Zahara was found in an alleyway.. brutally raped and... I can't even begin to describe what happened. She will have a few permanate scars from all this. One being a letter "M" that was carved near her hip. All our healing strength can only go so far. There are some things that just cannot be removed. It will be a constant reminder.

She has night terrors now. It's hard to wake her from them. I had to resort to subliminal messages to her mind in order to calm her long enough to go back to sleep. I may have to do for her what was done to Angel and erase her memories of this day. She cries often. She is in a great deal of pain. She can't move around a great deal until the stitches are gone. It would be worse if she tore them. So until she is completely healed from her needed surgeries, which will be from no on handled by our own doctor, Dorian, I have to help her to get from her bed to the shower. She misses her baths, but that isn't good where stitches are concerned. I know she can make it through this. it will be hard, but she can. I just hope eventually the pain eases...

for more details on her attack, it can be found here But I don't suggest it as light reading. It is graphic and blood filled. I loathe the man who did this to my daughter.

I hate even more that she blames herself....

Angel has gone missing now. Though I am upset that she left without speaking to me, it is not unlike her to do so. She was in a foul mood when she came home from her rehearsal for the play of Romeo and Juliet. I still am not sure what has gone wrong, but I feel something devastating has happened to her and she is not yet ready to reveal it. I hopes she feels she can soon. It could harm her later if she doesn't.

At first I feared Theron found her after all this time. But I thought back and learned that I did not sense his presence here. She must have just gone on to school early today... again nothing unusual from her...

Still.. After what happened to Zahara... I can't help but worry...
