QUOTE : Not very long ago at all, the thought of killing and bloodshed would have horrified her. She had been appalled at Nate's constant fighting, at his random turns to violence.

The problem was she didn't know if she could. She'd always wanted help. But she was tired of asking for help. Tired of hesitating. And still much, much too scared to do anything about either.
