Totally rusty, haven't had time to write in a WHILE, and haven't touched this pairing since last year. Sorry!
/GUILT because you always write such nice things for me and this isn't *exactly* shipping D:
She hates that he made her kill him more than anything he ever actually did to anyone she loves or to her, sometimes.
She's killed before, of course- more times than anyone else in the group would like to think about, and less times Jake will ever admit to sending her personally to handle- but David's death still hits her harder and twists her up insides more than she would have expected this many months later.
He was evil, twisted, betrayed them, could have killed Cassie in cold blood, had tried to kill Tobias---
But she didn't kill David that day as a grizzly, with its' poor vision that blurs the light of life burning out in another's eyes to the point she doesn't have to see what she's done anymore, nor did she finish him off as a polar bear in the thick of a battle so bloody and chaotic that no one can really be sure later if this person or that Hork Bajr actually died from her claws and teeth- or not.
Instead, she ended his life kneeling amid discarded litter on the dirty, stained pavement of a little used alleyway, and he just looked at her with his beady, tiny rat eyes.
She hates him for his final words the most, though ---
--- she doesn't want David's forgiveness for this crime, dammit.
