I lashed out at the vase of flowers beside my bed sending it crashing to the
floor and smashing, spilling water over the rug. For a moment I stood in
fascinated horror...look what I did! But it felt good, gave the feeling some
form, noise, destruction. Thoughts went round and round in my mind, spinning
helplessly out of control...I needed quiet...peace...I remembered still how
to feel that. I swallowed, don't go there Rachel, don't think that...you've
come too far now to turn back...but for peace?

Patrick flinched and looked at her before going to the desk and reading the
notes she had written and then frowned with both confusion and slow
understanding.
Someone was after her -- why didn't someone tell him last night that Rachel
was in danger??
He disappeared and was instantly in front of Julia, so close in fact it made
her stop and start.
"What -- ?" Julia started, looking away from Derek and blinking in surprise
at Patrick's almost dark expression "What's wrong?"
"Why didn't someone tell me Rachel was being stalked?"
"Stal.. what?" Julia asked, only to look at Derek confused "Patrick says
Rachel's being... stalked?"
This was the first she'd heard of it and Patrick relaxed a bit at that
knowledge. If she hadn't known, she couldn't have told him. Which meant
she wasn't keeping things from him. Now both Kat AND Rachel was in danger.
He explained what had happened and Julia looked back at him and started
toward the door, explaining to Derek as she went "Rachel's upset, knocked a
vase over...."
So much for rest, she thought as she passed up the sitting room and headed
straight for the stairs to the second floor.
