I can't find Erynne.

There are a million things that can go wrong in Sunnydale. Something is terribly wrong, now. I can't find Erynne - I mean, I don't know where she is. I don't know if she is...

The situation with Erynne and me is ... unusual, I guess. My mojo makes me tele/empathic, but I've been trapped in a dimension where most aren't. Lonely isn't a strong enough word for what that's like.

I have a mental/emotional link with Erynne that can be as strong as anything I've experienced, in an emergency. Mostly it's a background thing...


(How could I explain,
to someone who just
isn't made to know?
Knowing she is there,
is like perfume in the air.

It's color in a photograph,
it's sugar in coffee
it's shifting from a minor
to a clear and major key,

How would I explain,
that it's like hearing a
well-liked familiar tune,
playing in the background,
in another room?

Sometimes with a couple,
being a pair's more than
one plus one,
sometimes being tied
makes you free.

Could they understand that
knowing she's there
gave my life a lift,
every day was somehow
a gift... )

Anyway, who would there be left to tell? We'd had that link for so long that I ... just take it for granted just took it for granted.

Now I can't sense her at all, and that's impossible, unless she's somehow been taken way out of my range, or ... there's ways to kill almost everything I know of... But we had the strong, strong emergency link - I didn't hear her call me...
