Vyre threatened my family and i fought her, Rayne threatened my family and i nearly murdered her. Karrie is my niece and i want to go to her and scoop her up and tell her that no one will ever hurt her again... i would die to protect any member of this family. but how do i protect Karrie from herself? if she had a gangrenous limb i would cut it off her and cry as i did it even if she hated me forever because she would be safe. i just... i don't know how to protect her now and it's killing me."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #ff8000">"no, ye'll have hurt a stranger who just wanted te be kind so ye take the jacket and the boots lass, ye owe me dat much for puttin up wit yer craziness."</span>he frowned and stepped back at the sudden change of personality and then followed her back to the living room.<span style="color: #ff8000"> "aye, i mentioned some stew."</span>he walked into the kitchen and came back with a wooden bowl filled with luke warm and as stated overly spiced stew and handed it to her with a spoon.<span style="color: #ff8000">"i think i liked de other one better, she weren't so depressing but you get that in ye, just don't eat it too fast yu'll puke it back up."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
