Briar Holiday

Isn't it strange how much a minute can matter? How much it can change your life? One minute, you're a normal girl, studying and Working hard. Wonderful boyfriend. Sparkling engagement ring. Life wasn't perfect, but it wasn't too bad. And now? He's dead. It was an accident, of course. But that didn't stop the accusing way people looked at me after. Or maybe they still look at me the same, it's just my guilt that I see reflected in their eyes. After a year of lethargy after dropping out of college, I had to get out of there. Get him out of my head. If I can just put enough distance between me and Avondale... Maybe. Maybe I can get my life back.

It's been a while, six months to be exact, since the Samaritans closed up their Chapter House in Haven and took to the road, riding from town to town, solving supernatural mysteries and fighting the good fight.

That all changed when, towards the end of March, the Chapter Houses around the world were attacked, wiping out all but a small handful of Samaritans, Briar among them. Struggling with survivors guilt, she's left scrambling to pick up the pieces, and still be an effective force for good.

Number of People Rescued: 129

Unlucky in Love

Two engagements and now two dead fiances. Is she unlucky in love, or is there something sinister going on?

Good Girl Going Bad?

Briar claims to have rescued over a hundred people since she became aware and was taken on by the Samaritans. Something she's fiercely proud of. But of late, she's not quite putting the effort in that she once did. Is the goodie-two-shoes finally casting her white armor off?

Survivors Guilt

Briar is struggling with the fact that she's one of the few remaining Samaritans left in the world, add to that that she feels more than a bit responsible for their deaths, and she's sinking fast and hard and there's no one there to catch her.

"You're doing better than you think. I know I may not often say it, but I'm glad you've joined our motley crew and that I can rely on you. Seriously, it's such a sausage fest sometimes." - Nova Bee?. (I need you, like air. I need you Nova.)

"It was always you, Briar. You were what I had searched for, what I had been missing. You filled a space within me I had not understood was empty. For that, I will always be grateful. I love you. I will Always love you." - Gray? (One last kiss?)

"A deeply misguided and sinful woman, but her heart is in the right place." - Captain Aniefiok?(I think my heart died with Gray.)
