Suzy’s Strange Saga
Well at least you know Helen is going to be friendly with you. She’s pleasant with everyone.
You head into the next room and see Helen sitting in a chair preoccupied with watching the six children also in the room. While they’re being loud, they’re at least playing games and not being too disruptive. Helen sees you and smiles.
“Hey Helen.” You say sitting next to her on the couch.
“Hey Suzy. As you can see I’m just doing my role in this family.” She says pointing to the children.
“Do you really need to look after them? Seems like they’re old enough to play by themselves.” You ask.
“It’s not them we’d worry about, it’s the rest of this compound! While it may not look like it now, these little ones are balls of chaotic energy. Morningstar children have always needed a little extra supervision if only so they don’t end up burning the entire places to the ground. However it is true they all seem to be a little more subdued today. Even Jordan is playing with his siblings rather than fighting with them.” Helen says.
“Um, which one’s Jordan?” you ask already forgetting Bobby already told you.
“Jordan’s the oldest boy. He’s over there playing with his siblings Aiden and Nadia. They’re twins as you can tell. Actually those three are also my younger brothers and sister, so I do have a bit of a duty to watch out for them. Jordan’s getting to the point where I think Bobby is going to have to start training him though. He’s just becoming a teenager and he really wants to be like his older brother, but sadly he isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. He’s a still a fine boy though, he even has a bit of a crush on me which is sort of cute.” Helen says with a minor giggle.
“Erm…yeah…so what about the twins?” you ask changing that last mildly disturbing remark.
“Oh those two are very intelligent. They even got a mental link to each other.”
“What really?” you ask.
“Really. They often just sit across from each other nodding and occasionally changing expressions at each other. It’s like they’re having a conversation with their minds or something. I dunno, but sometimes it feels like they’re making private jokes about all of us. Jordan in particular and while he’s not the brightest, he’s smart enough to know when he thinks he’s being made fun of. And that’s when I often have to step in and tell them not to mock their brother.”
At this point both twins look in your direction and Helen’s. They give a peculiar smile and then return to the game they’re playing with Jordan. It’s enough to make you feel a little uneasy.
“Um, Helen, they can’t read our minds can they?” you ask.
“Oh no…at least I don’t think so. I mean I never even thought of that before. Oh dear, now I’m going to wonder about that.” Helen says.
“Sorry didn’t mean to add to your worries Helen…or my own for that matter.” You say.
“Oh, I’m not really that worried. Even if they can, we’re all family anyway and they know I have no ill thoughts about them or anyone connected to it…and that’s going to include you too soon.” Helen says and smiles.
Helen next mentions that ever since Veronica and Brandon arrived, their children have pretty much been put under her care. She then points out Ione and Hannah (Who are playing another game with each other) and Leon (Who is building something and seemingly content to play by himself).
“Geez Helen, you look like you always got your hands full, are you really okay looking after all the children all the time?” you ask.
“Oh…it’s not so bad. I mean like I said, we’re all family. What’s family for if not to help one another? Besides, I know nobody else really wants to do or otherwise has other major responsibilities.”
“What responsibilities do Veronica and Brandon have? I haven’t seen them do anything since I got here. I mean they got three kids, and they’ve obviously been taking care of them before coming here. They shouldn’t just be passing them on to you just because it’s convenient. You deserve to have your own time to yourself.”
“Really it’s okay Suzy. I like looking after all of them. Besides, I don’t think the children would want someone other than myself doing it anyway. When you and Bobby have children I fully expect you’ll want help on the supervision front won’t you?”
“Well…probably. I was talking about this subject a little to Bobby last night and to be honest I’m still not exactly enamored with the notion of popping out a bunch of them. The idea of the pain involved isn’t exactly something I’m looking forward to.”
“Well I don’t think any woman looks forward to that part. It’s the joy of bringing a new life into this world, raising them and loving them.”
“I…guess…I dunno. Hell I’m still having trouble with the concept of marriage, let alone kids.”
“Oh? Is it the ritual sacrifice to Tiamat that’s got you a little baffled? Don’t worry, you don’t need to memorize any prayers, Bobby will probably tell you what to say or he’ll make the appropriate chants himself.” Helen asks.
“What? Wait. I know you guys sacrifice people, but is that going to go on at the wedding?”
“Well of course. It’s tradition for the one to marry into this family to prove themselves to be worth of Tiamat by making a sacrifice.”
“Wait, you mean I’M going to be the one doing it?”
“Well yeah…you mean Bobby didn’t tell you? Oh dear. I didn’t mean to ruin the surprise.” Helen says.
“Oh it’s a surprise alright.”
“Well if you’re worried about messing up, we’ve got more than enough prisoners in the dungeon you could practice on tomorrow.”
“Prisoners? Dungeon? Oh geez…” you say and rub your hand over your head.
Helen pats you on the back a bit and tries to look understanding.
“I take it, you’ve never killed anyone before?” Helen asks.
“Of course I haven’t! Why would I?” you exclaim.
“I just figured you having a serial killer uncle and all…plus Bobby said you helped him kill your uncle.”
“I didn’t really have a hand in that directly. Are you saying YOU’VE killed someone before?”
“Oh yes, but I’m not exactly fond of it, but we all have to do our part to serve Tiamat.”
The fact that Helen just told you so cheerfully and without any hesitation that she’s committed murder, makes her seem a lot less harmless in your eyes.
“Wait, so how many? When?” you ask.
“Oh not many. First time was about when I was Jordan’s age. However, since Bobby is the head of the house, he mostly does it. Just like our father did before him. Diana sometimes does it, but I try to avoid doing it unless I really have to…I know I shouldn’t feel anything for infidels, but sometimes I can’t help it. Then I try to remember that their souls are going to feed Tiamat so it’s all for a good cause.”
This is nuts…
Right now you’re just wondering how deep of shit you’ve gotten yourself into.
“I…dunno if I’m going to be able to do this Helen…” you say.
“Oh don’t say that! You’ll be fine!” Helen says trying to be supportive.
“I don’t think I will. The most fucked up thing is, I’m still more worried about having kids!”
“You still concerned about that? That will come naturally, I don’t think you should worry.”
“I dunno Helen. I’m obviously not like you. I thought we were more similar in many ways, mainly because we both had to put up with an asshole older sister, but it’s turning out we’re pretty different. I mean unlike me you’d obviously make a very good mother. You’re nice, attentive and everything.” You say.
Helen’s eyes light up a bit when you say that and she grabs your hand.
“Thank you. You have no idea how touched I am right now to hear those words.” She says and then leans in quick to give you a quick peck on the cheek.
It surprises the hell out of you and you recoil a bit. Helen’s expression turns from one of happiness to one of worry.
“Oh no. I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have done that! By Tiamat, what was I thinking. I’m so sorry Suzy!” she starts saying which causes a lot of the children to start watching the pair of you.
Helen stands up and begins to panic still repeating to you about how sorry she is, you think she’s going to have an anxiety attack.
“Helen. Helen. Calm yourself. It’s…well…it’s okay. I mean I know you were just trying to be friendly and didn’t mean anything else by it. You just caught me by surprise, no harm done…” you say.
“No…I can’t…you’ll have to excuse me!” Helen suddenly says and runs off. You try to call her back, but she’s gone.
You wonder if you should tell someone or go after her. Then one of the kids speaks to you.
“Hey what’s wrong with Aunt Helen?” Hannah asks.
“She’s having a lover’s quarrel with her girlfriend.” Ione says smirking.
“She is not! My sister isn’t a dyke! Besides this woman is Bobby’s girlfriend!” Jordan remarks indignantly.
“You’re just saying that because YOU like Aunt Helen!” Leon says and then makes kissy noises, which causes Jordan to punch him in the arm.
At this point they look like they’re going to get even more unruly, but then one of the twins speaks up.
“She loves Bobby you know.” Aiden says.
“Yes, Aunt Helen loves Bobby very much.” Nadia adds.
“You and Diana must…” Aiden continues.
“…die.” Nadia ends.
The creepy tone they say it in causes utter silence, not to mention sends a bit of a shiver down your spine.
“Um…are you telling me… Helen plans on killing me and Diana?” you utter.
The twins just look at each other and smile. They don’t say anything else and just calmly go back to their game.
They’ve also managed to successfully creep out their brother and cousins who start to leave the room.
Meanwhile, if Helen IS planning to kill you, you need to find out now. As much as you’re hesitant to speak to them again, you have little choice but to ask the twins where their sister’s room is.
“Uh…hey, where is Helen’s room?” you ask.
“Left wing…” Aiden says.
“Second floor…” Nadia adds.
“Go right then…” Aiden continues.
“Through the last door.” Nadia ends.
Great now they’re being creepy in rhyme. They didn’t even look at you the entire time.
You don’t even bother to thank them, you just follow their directions. Eventually when you think you’re getting close, you hear some faint crying. You slowly look in a room to your right and find Helen weeping softly to herself on her bed.
She notices you and she tries to wipe away her tears.
“(sniffle) Oh. You didn’t need to come see to me. Really I’m fine. I just acted foolishly, I apologize again for kissing you Suzy.” Helen remarks.
“Um, yeah I’m not really bothered by that…or rather I mean that was unexpected, but…look nevermind about that. I’m here about something else of a more serious nature and I’m hoping we can hammer this out because whether you realize it or not, a lot of shit just got sprung on me within the last few minutes.” You say.
“Is this about the sacrifice?”
“No, this is about something your creepy twin mind reading sibling just said to me. They said you love Bobby.”
“Huh? Oh…well of course I love Bobby. I mean he’s my older brother of course I love him.” Helen says a bit nervously.
“Yeah and in any other family that wouldn’t mean anything more than friendship at best, but love goes to a whole other level in this family. There’s also the fact they said you were going to kill me.”
Now Helen goes from nervous to shocked.
“WHAT?! They said that?!”
“Well technically they said you were going to kill Diana too and they didn’t say it so much as they heavily implied it, but given that they’re creepy as fuck and you said they can read minds, as well as your own guilty behavior on the whole loving Bobby situation and well what the hell am I supposed to think? So is it all true?”
Helen just give you a sad look and then begins to tear up again and put her hands to her face.
“Oh fuck Helen! You were lying and just plotting to kill me the entire time?! Goddamn it, had I known I was going to have to deal with not one but TWO of Bobby’s murderous sisters, I would’ve just stayed at home. At least I would’ve only had one to deal with there!” you shout.
Helen tries to compose herself to address you.
“No, that’s not true. (sniffle) I wasn’t lying to you. I genuinely like you and after our most recent conversation I like you even more. I mean…I really like you…but it is true I love Bobby. I’ve always loved him…(sniffle) I mean I always thought Diana was wrong for him and they were only together because she happened to be the oldest sister. Did you know I had two other older sisters and Diana killed them both for fear of competition? Everyone thinks they were accidents, but I knew the truth. Never said anything of course, I was too afraid and I didn’t want to cause any problems.”
“Bobby never mentioned he had two dead sisters before.”
“It’s not really something we discuss. It was a pretty traumatic experience for everyone at the time. My dad was very upset especially since Mom had died of natural causes no long before. It was a lot of family to lose within such a short period of time.”
“So how come she didn’t kill you or Nadia?”
“ Nadia’s a twin and will most likely bond with Aiden. Plus she’s much younger so no threat either way. As for me, well I was still young enough at the time when she killed my other two sisters. I guess I was just so weak in her eyes that she thought I wasn’t any threat. Maybe she even knew that I loved Bobby and enjoyed flaunting it in my face. In any case things really changed when you came into the picture. I wasn’t sure what to think really. Then when I finally met you, I could see why Bobby liked you. You were so nice and I want you to know I always felt like we were very similar too. You know, under appreciated in our own families. I wish you’d been my sister instead of Diana.”
“Yeah? Well if I’m so nice, why were you still plotting to kill me?” you ask.
“I wasn’t! I…mean not really…I mean…(sniffle) I just had this… this… idea and I dunno… it was just my mind! I wouldn’t have acted upon it! Especially not after getting to know you more! I can see you’re very good for Bobby. I’m genuinely hap…hap…(sob).”
And Helen starts crying again. At this point you’re starting to wonder if she did have any intention on killing you, if she’d end up apologizing for it the whole time.
The fact is though, you’re still not entirely sure if she was going to do it or not. Maybe the twins were partially fucking with you. (Helen did say they liked doing that with people) Maybe Helen just had wishful thinking on her mind. It isn’t like you haven’t had thoughts about killing your own sister Kelly on more than one occasion. Of course the difference is, Helen’s actually got some bodies under her belt to go through with such a deed.
Any other right thinking person would probably be trying to leave this mad house right now, but quite frankly the more you think about it, you don’t have many options and despite this fucked up situation with his sisters, you still love Bobby.
All of which means you’re probably just as fucked up as the rest of them (more than you realized actually) which also means you fit in here much better than you think, you just have to figure out how to deal with everything. First of which is Helen who against all odds, you actually still feel sorry for.
Of course the other option is to start getting your hands dirty now and do away with her. It’s not like anyone’s around and she probably wouldn’t put up much of a fight.
You head into the next room and see Helen sitting in a chair preoccupied with watching the six children also in the room. While they’re being loud, they’re at least playing games and not being too disruptive. Helen sees you and smiles.
“Hey Helen.” You say sitting next to her on the couch.
