Maybe I should have known better. But how could I have known? How could I have known it would be this big, that things would get that bad? It seemed so simple to me. Why should anyone have to be what they don't want to? I guess no one else thought it was that simple.
We found the orb of...thesulah? It wasn't easy, and I so did not have the funds to cover that. As if I've ever had a problem with stealing though, right? I don't have a problem with torture, why should I have a problem with stealing? Halloran didn't ask where I got it, which was probably more about him not wanting to know than anything.
I'd never seen magic before.
Not real magic, I'd seen lots of unexplainable things, but this was...there were translucent ghosty things and glowing lights and latin phrases...before the light show started I totally thought he was just making fun of us. An exorcism I get, but channeling souls with spices and magic words? cmon.
Until he sort of...popped. Not as gross as it sounds, really. He was just yelling and his whole body was shaking, like he was lifting something too heavy. He was doing that all in one second, and then next he just...stopped. And after that, he didn't move anymore.
I know how cold it was to leave him there. I know it was wrong. But King looked like he'd been hit by a train, and then I heard sirens, and I just- panicked. Believe me, it takes a lot for someone like me to panic. Was chained to the floor by an angry vampire a day ago, remember?
