Day 9: Lie “I will kill them all if it’s what I have to do to keep them safe.” Avid couldn’t say goodbye to Shelby, let alone put a stake through her heart. “I’m not scared of you.” Drift’s voice and legs shook as she saw the blood stains on his fangs, despite how defiant the words were. “I would never turn myself into a dark presence such as ye.” Renhardt was dangerously allured by the idea of a remedy to his curse. “I won’t leave my friends behind again. Never. Not if the consequences are like this.” Martyn had no idea how he’d react the next time an attack took place. “I don’t have any secrets.” Apo wished that were true as the thirst for blood grew overwhelming. “I like the way this ended up. I have real friends now.” Shelby didn’t know just how false those words were. “I don’t care what anyone in town thinks of me. It’s easier to massacre them once more that way.” Owen felt a stabbing pain in his chest at the thought of Legs trying *everything* to find a way to help them. “I’ll gladly become the monster they always saw. I’d do it for the family.” Pyro wanted nothing more than to go back to town and beg for their forgiveness. “I can help fix this if you let me.” Legs didn’t know the first step to curing vampirism, he just wanted to hold onto hope for the first time in a *long* time. “I can handle what’s been happening.” Abolish spent his nights laying awake in his bed, seeing figures emerge from the shadows every time he glanced away. “I care about you guys.” Scott would not hesitate to attack if any of them stole a meal from him again. “I know where the line is, I won’t cross it.” M stayed stuck in his fantasy worlds, and hardly noticed when he truly hurt someone. “I understand what’s going on. I understand how to protect myself.” Pearl was the most confused and endangered she’d ever been in her life, and she despised it. “I can hold it all together. I can hold *myself* together.” Cleo wanted more than anything to lose control. Oakhurst was filled with liars: It was just a matter of whose lies were the most dangerous.
