Suzy’s Strange Saga
Maybe it’s stupid or weakness, but you can’t bring yourself to kill Helen based on heavy suspicion. You decide to talk this out with her instead.
“Helen…Helen…will you stop crying for one minute?” you say which causes her to comply.
You take a deep breath and exhale.
“Okay. You seem genuinely distraught about all this…so I’m going to go out on a limb and take you at your word that you had no solid intention on killing me and it was just a fleeting thought that we all have once in awhile. I mean I’ve had them too.”
Helen looks a little happier when you say that.
“Oh…I’m so glad you feel that way Suzy…(sniff)” Helen says.
“I’m not finished! I AM going to be keeping an eye on you though and I think it’s going to take me awhile to fully trust you.” You say which causes her to nod rapidly.
“I…I understand. Wha…what about Bobby?”
“Well that is the question isn’t it? I guess I could threaten you. However, that’s really not going to help matters and the heart wants what the heart wants. Can’t really stop that…well other than killing that person, but I think neither one of us wants to go that route. Let me ask you this though, does he possibly know already how you feel?”
“Oh no. I don’t believe so. He’s either been too into Diana or too into you, to pay any serious attention to me in that way. So no, I do not believe he knows.”
“Do you want to tell him?” you ask.
“Oh! No! No, I can’t! Especially not now! That will just mess things up for you! I don’t want to be in the way! Please Suzy, don’t tell Bobby about my real feelings either. I…I’ve come to deal with the reality that Bobby will never be mine. Just wasn’t meant to be. I can be… happy without him as long as I know you’ll be making him happy.” Helen says and then tries to smile, but it doesn’t last long.
That was incredibly hard for her to say. You know her heart is probably breaking in a million pieces on the inside. You almost want to console her, but then you have to remember she might have been plotting to kill you.
“Okay then…so are we good?” you ask unsure of what else to address.
“Yes, Suzy. We’re good…um can I just have a hug?” Helen asks.
This family just gets weirder and weirder…
“A hug?” you ask.
“Well, I know you don’t trust me, but you’re still willing to give me a chance. That alone is more kindness than my own sister Diana has ever shown me. I feel closer to you than I ever have with her. I mean I guess I understand if you don’t want to…” Helen says a little sadly.
You look at her sideways wondering if this is some sort of trick, but if you’re going to go with this building trust route AND if it’ll make Helen feel better, you can do a hug.
You go to Helen and sit beside her on her bed who gloms on to you immediately. As you reluctantly hug back, Helen exhales as if a big weight has been lifted.
“You don’t know how much this means to me Suzy…” she says.
“Um, yeah.” You reply.
“You smell pretty and feel so soft and warm.” She then says squeezing you a little tighter.
“Uh…okay…I think I should be getting back to Bobby now.” You remark and start to let go though it feels like Helen doesn’t really want to let go.
“Okay. You go back to Bobby, I’m sure he’s wondering where you are. I’ll be fine. Thank you for being so understanding. I’ll never forget this.”
Helen waves good-bye with a smile as you leave her room. What a strange girl.
As you make your way back towards the stairs, you realize that you didn’t address the possibility that Helen might have planned to kill Diana as well, not that you care since you’d rather she be completely out of way. Even if Helen did have that plan, it’s clear that if she’s telling the truth about having too much feelings about killing you, she’s unlikely to kill her sister due to whatever fucked up battered sibling syndrome she has.
Besides, as far as you’re concerned Bobby’s supposed to take care of the Diana situation or he will if he expects you to sacrifice someone on a slab on the wedding day.
When you get downstairs the some of the family members are all eating. You don’t see Bobby though.
“Hey Veronica have you seen Bobby?” you ask.
“Oh, I think he went to your room to look for you. Figured you’d be there. I think he’s pretty upset about what just happened with William and Aaron.”
“What happened?
“They just left the compound. Not exactly sure what William told Bobby, but he and Aaron are both gone. Brandon’s outside closing up the front gate.” Veronica says and shovels more food into her mouth.
Great, more drama. You make the long trek back to the bedroom…
Sure enough, you find Bobby looking slightly mopey on the bed. These Morningstars sure are a miserable lot today.
“Hey Bobby.” You say.
“Hey. Where have you been?” Bobby asks
‘Bonding with your sister Helen. You know, the nice one.”
“Oh. That’s good. Glad to hear something going well…” Bobby says with his voice sounding like he isn’t as happy about that as he should be.
“Okay, I already heard about William and Aaron, but what are you really upset about?” you ask.
“I don’t even know why I’m bothering trying to hold this family together! Most of them aren’t even here. Two of them just left. One of them hates me now, and the rest aren’t exactly sterling examples of Tiamat’s Chosen. In fact the ones that are here are probably here because it’s safe and filled with enough supplies to live comfortably.” Bobby exclaims.
“Well, what’s wrong with that?”
“Nothing I suppose, but supporting about bunch of freeloaders wasn’t really part of my plan to honor Tiamat.”
“Well maybe you need to change your damn plan. I mean its still early, but if you really feel like someone isn’t pulling their weight around here, then you need to just kick their asses out, family or not. I mean you’re the boss around here and your word is supposed to be law.”
Bobby sits up a bit as you continue to speak.
“Look, you know you’re a leader and you know the head of this family. So you can’t give into all this self-doubt. You NEEDED to lay down the law to your sister Diana and you did it. In fact, speaking of which, what exactly IS going to be done about her? Because whatever you said you know that’s just going to be a temporary fix. Now I think you KNOW what you’re going to have to do with her, but your past with her is preventing you from doing it.”
Bobby continues to listen intently.
“Love isn’t one-sided Bobby, and if I’m going to have to ultimately submit to your beliefs and everything that goes with it including murdering innocent people…”
“Wait…you know about the sacrifice on the wedding day?” Bobby asks.
“Yeah and thanks a lot for keeping me in the dark about it. But it’s fine, I’ve gotten over it. I’ve had a lot of time to think about things and how this marriage is going to go if it’s going to work. I’m willing to go all in, but you’re going to have to do likewise and fix this problem with Diana permanently. How is up to you, but she is NOT going to be here.”
Bobby looks a little overwhelmed by your ultimatum. He’s never heard you speak like this before and really; you’re a little surprised you’re saying what you’re saying yourself. You’re rolling the dice and betting everything here. You think you’ve got the inner strength to go through with all this, you just hope that Bobby proves to be just as strong.
“Suzy, you are the love of my life and what you’ve just told me just confirms that Tiamat’s chaos did favor me when I met you. You’re right. I know I have to do something more permanent with my sister Diana. I’ll come to a decision tomorrow though. I think I need the rest of the day to recover from all the shit I’ve already had to go through. It’s not even night yet!”
“Well, okay. I understand. Well, should we go eat with the rest of the family?”
“No. I’m not really feeling it right now. I’d rather just spend time with you.”
“Sounds good to me.” You remark.
You and Bobby kiss each other, which then soon leads to something a lot more intense.
A little later after your pleasant round of passion, Bobby says he should go tell one of his family members to take the night watch and have a long conversation with all of them.
“Well good luck on that front.” You say as you briefly check your phone out of curiosity.
“Did someone call?” Bobby asks.
“No, just curious. I was wondering if any of my family tried to contact me given how with the craziness going on in town recently. Guess I’m not surprised nobody cared to call. Not mad about it though, just one more confirmation that this is my new family and home now.” You say.
“Well other than you know who, it seems like you’ve gotten along with the rest of my family. Sounds like you’ve really gotten along with Helen. So what did you two talk about anyway?” Bobby asks.
“Oh… you know…girl stuff.” You say with a slight smile, which cause Bobby to snicker a bit.
“Alright, you two have your little secrets. Just as long as you’re getting along. Love you.” Bobby says opening the door.
“Love you too.” You say as he leaves.
You enjoy the rest of your evening in solitude until you eventually fall asleep.
“Helen…Helen…will you stop crying for one minute?” you say which causes her to comply.
You take a deep breath and exhale.
“Okay. You seem genuinely distraught about all this…so I’m going to go out on a limb and take you at your word that you had no solid intention on killing me and it was just a fleeting thought that we all have once in awhile. I mean I’ve had them too.”
