To tell you how to live your life would be a grave mistake on my part, dear Astrid, and so I have held off writing to you with these words. But I love you as my own and cannot stand by when I see you putting your life is such danger as you are.
Marietta is a killer. She is a fierce and destructive creature who cares for nothing but herself, and enjoys the pain of others. By continuing to befriend and have contact with this young girl who is somehow close to Marietta, you are placing yourself directly within her horrid reach. She is not kind, no matter what this child says.
You may accuse me of taking this personally as you know my history with Marietta is long and never kind, and I shall not be able to argue against such a thing, for my feelings in this matter are entirely personal. You are as my child, Astrid. Were any harm to befall you that I could have stood against, I should not be able to forgive myself for it.
I ask you, as a mother and as a friend, cut your ties with this child and with Marietta, for the woman brings nothing but evil with her.
