i remember what it's like to be attacked by one of those things no one should ever have to go through that he [ it hurts to say all this, but she has to. she owes him that much. ] he can't have another one on his conscience, sam
[ she's already spoken to august and agreed to vote for him. but she still doesn't feel good about it, even after hearing cellar's confirmation and explanation. ]
okay.
i'm not convinced. i've been in a similar spot and the last thing i want to do is lock someone away who didn't do it. but i promised him i'd vote for him.
[ She hates every second of it. She thinks she's going to hate herself more if she lets another death become his burden. Cellar forgave him for what the hellhound did — but she knows he'll never forgive himself. ]
[ she doesn't envy her position. all of this feels awful.
it's why she decides to tell cellar everything. ]
i'm the daughter of someone who was a serial killer. he and his friend killed his girlfriend's mom and a bunch of their friends, centering it around her. the murders went down before i was born but my mom kept the fact that he was my dad a secret. over the years there were a few people who targeted the same people who survived the first murders. there were movies that were made about them that gained a following.
my boyfriend someone inserted themselves into my life because he found out who my father was. he and my sister's best friend hooked up. they planned to set up the murders they committed to make it look like i'd done it all. then his family tried to do the same thing half a year later.
in both cases all the evidence pointed to me. there were a lot of people who thought i'd done it and set them up. so i don't like the idea of going after somebody just because the evidence lines up.
[ She can't even imagine. Someone like Sam going through that with her family, with people she must have thought she could trust, only to have the world turned against her. It's a fucking nightmare. ]
it's part of the contract i'm in i can still go see them but i'm kind of not supposed to and they forget me while i'm gone i think that's to make sure they don't go looking for me or something

really fucked up thing to do to you, though.
no subject
to make it easier for our families too, i guess
that way they don't have to miss us

at least i could still go see them every now and then, you know?
not much we can do about that here
no subject

the woods tried tricking me into drowning by showing her to me.
