Re: [PTL Game] Tribunal

[Julia Walker-Rayne]

"Ireland," Lin answered, thinking he had already made himself abundantly clear as to which death he was referring to.   Julia couldn't help it and her arms came up to slowly rub the other in a kind of protective way, her gaze far off as she started to recall what she could remember of that day.   "We found out where the fifth seplicur was..." she said, her voice trailing off, only to go back to the details of what had happened as she took a steadying breath "And we went to Ireland to retrieve it before someone could get hurt... or worse."   "We arrived, Nick unloaded the car and Derek gave us our instructions.  I was to find a girl in a red coat and we were to all meet back at the pub in two hours."   "I left and was directed to an antique shop."   She stopped and took a slow, steadying breath, not wanting to say this next part simply because she knew it would hurt Derek again.  Her gaze reflected this feeling as she continued, wishing someone would stop this line of questioning but knowing it wouldn't happen and that the tale would be retold.  She only prayed that they didn't ask her for specifics concerning the death itself.  No one knew what had happened those few precious moments after the demon had caught her in the field.  She herself didn't remember exact details, but she did remember up to that point and didn't want to repeat it.   "I entered and saw the store empty.  And instead of leaving and going to get the others like I should have," she admitted, realizing what she had done and her own part of it "I stayed to see if the shop keeper would show up."   "Then I heard a sound from upstairs....."   She went on to repeat how she had gone up there, thinking that she should have gone to get Derek considering the danger but not saying that as she reported what had happened, her eventual clash with the demon when he had spotted the key around her neck..... and the chase while she tried contacting Derek that had ended up in the field.   Julia looked at the Precepts as she reported the last of the details, in a way angry at them for making her tell the story in front of Derek and the others that had been there and were probably feeling the pain they had then when it had first happened all over again.   She wanted to turn to Derek and tell him to forget the whole thing..... it wasn't worth bringing up old wounds and she didn't want him or the others hurting anymore...   She even started to turn to him, blue gaze showing how she was feeling as she looked at him.
