But the war won't stop for the love of God

prompt was Sarah, drifting, post series, for comment_fic





Her son was in a future she was trying to destroy.

So was the terminator, although she wasn't as worried about her.

Her brother-in-law was lying in an unmarked grave, and Charlie was gone too.

Sarah Conner has always been alone, but now she feels it.

She tracks the companies she knows and suspects may be involved in the end of the world. Tries to figure out the clues written in blood on her garage wall.

But she's not really trying.

The future has been changed by her before. She's sure of it. Dates changed, her death, everything. If she re-writes the future she might be paving over her son. If she does nothing the world will still end in blood and fire.

She tries to stop what is starting to seem inevitable, but not too hard. As much as she wants to save the world her son will always come first. She's a mother first, then a soldier.

That leaves her in a bad spot. She can't think of a damned thing to do that might help her son, and a million things that might write him out of history. She's at a loss for the first time since she realized she was pregnant. She doesn't have a plan, a goal, it's not all about her son anymore and she's just drifting.

Every day brings her closer to her son, and even closer to D-Day. And she's not sure she wants to fight either, anymore.

Charlie asked me to marry him and my heart stops.

Half of it wants to beat YES. Finally, a nice guy, a chance at normal.

I destroyed the last of them. The war should be over before it even begins.

The other half beats NO! I can't let my guard down, that's when they come for you. It will never be over. I can't get lost in the idea of could have beens.

It's not like I have a Terminator to watch over him anymore.

It's time to leave, but I know Charlie won't understand that I can't let myself get soft. Not for him. Not even for my son.

The Terminator I destroyed rather than risk falling into the wrong hands would have understood that.
