sorry if some people don't feel this way, but I still don't think it is appropriate for a 15 year old to go LOOKING. Keep herself safe-YES--Defend herself if necessary-ABSOLUTELY.

BUT:

1. They were not in the house and they didn't know that she was
2. She had 3 different entities on their way
3. She put herself in the line of danger by going outside to confront them and possibly esculate the situation
4. Is that what we have come down too? That a 15 year old girl(or boy) is responsible to "stop evil" and "take back"

I still say that she was safe and should have STAYED safe. I would have NO problem with her defending herself if she were put in that position, but don't feel that it was the prudent thing to do to go looking for a confrontation

The thing that bothers me about this story is that the 15 year old left a safe place and went looking for them. I would think that she would stay in a safe place and wait for the help she had called for to arrive. Why did she go looking for them? Evidently they didn't know she was there--BUT if they had and she was found, I would have NO problem with whatever she did up to and including blowing them away.
