[Allison shuts her eyes and takes a deep breath, because she's letting her emotions get the better of her. She's not channeling them to work or hunt, she's losing herself in them, and she can't do that.
She has to thread the needle...hold onto the pain and the anger without letting them control her.
The people she loves, the things she cares about...when they can be used against her, she makes herself forget them, cuts them out of herself, but the bad things...what she hates, what she fears...she has to store them away, so she keeps Gerard and puts him back in that box within her head and heart reserved for him, until she needs that bitterness and hatred to fuel her, to take her to that place where she hunts and kills.
When she's steady again, she opens her eyes and offers up a small, apologetic smile before she returns to her punches...this time, not trying to see how hard or how angry she can hit, focusing instead on the center of each pad, making each strike as accurate as possible.]
Tell me more? [It's a question, a gentle one, not a prompt or a demand.] About your family, about these...Trouble things. Is that what people in Haven call the supernatural?
