Young Laura attempted to run away after most of us had retired for the night. Fortunately she was seen and brought back to the safety of our home before the devil appeared. I was roused from sleep by the yelling and rushed out to see what was happening. Once again I lead my flock in prayer. Once again, the devil was barred from entering and disappeared.
I shudder to think what would have happened to the child had
she gone unnoticed. Even without Satan emerging to strike, she would have
perished in the harsh snow covered land around our sanctuary.
The poor girl is convinced that she is a danger to us and so
ran in an attempt to protect us. Her nightmares, brought on by the trauma that
she has endured, have affected her terribly. This has been worsened by KnitWolf’s sadistic attempts at weakening her faith and by others who have been
deceived by that demon husk.
We are
safe here in this holy place, where the devil and his servants dare not enter. We remain strong in our faith. I thank the Lord and Saint Michael
for lending us their strength
Now I must rest
Don't be fooled into believing yourself safe. Even if you are, prepare for when you're not.
ReplyDeleteI assure you that we are prepared to face the trials that lay ahead
DeleteAnd if you believe that, you aren't taking enough precautions.
DeleteCase in point. You think you're safe enough, secure enough to ignore the possibility of a threat towards Laura.
I know you have faith that you'll be protected. But sometimes you have to act.
No, it's been worsened by YOU, Father, for not fucking listening to what she has to say. Christ, if you had taken one motherfucking second to validate her feelings, whether you believe her or not, if you had given her a chance to fucking explain and plan accordingly, you would not have put her in that position where she felt she had to run away.
ReplyDeleteGah. You can't trust fucking ANYONE addressed as "father". You, nor Artsyom. Neither of you give a SHIT about anything beyond their own arses.
The only reason I'm being lenient with my wording (yes, this is fucking me being LENIENT towards shitstains like you) is because you're protecting a bunch of people, Laura included. No more, no less.
People like you are why Laura and I ran away.
People like you are why we can never fucking trust.
Fuck you.
In hindsight, although the damage may have been done, I want to apologise profusely for that comment. It was inappropriate and abusive, and completely uncalled for during these difficult times.
DeleteIt appears that as I have made the decision to get back in touch with my father, that I am shifting some of the hatred for him and myself onto those who do not deserve it. Of course, this does not even begin to excuse my language and behaviour.
Rather than accept responsibility for posting those links, I did the immature, cowardly thing, and tried to shift the onus onto you. For that, and the links themselves that caused Laura grief, I apologise, to you and to Laura.
I am deeply sorry. I deserve nothing but blood, death, hatred and vitriol for my comment.
Don't blame yourself. Emotions run high, and that comment doesn't really deserve much more than a 'steady on'.
DeleteAnd don't blame yourself for what your father does. None of that, absolutely none of that is your fault, and you can't keep shouldering the burden of other people's acts.
I understand your anger and frustration. I apologize if I have given the impression of being callous towards young Laura's feelings. The last thing that I want is for that poor child to suffer any more than she already has, which is why I simply cannot indulge her fears and grief. She almost died because she was acting on both when she ran off.
DeleteYou do not deserve such suffering either. Your father is an evil man and I am truly sorry that he has inflicted this torment upon you
It couldn't be helped, and I agree that she does not deserve the torment. But the torment can stop. But she is a non believer... so that would be a hard thing to convince her.
DeleteAlyechka, the torment will stop, you know I am a man of faith myself, and I do not lie to you.
Do not try to create an association between us, snake.
DeleteYou are a depraved soul who wantonly tortures the innocent. If you were truly a man of faith, you would know what the afterlife holds for you. You would not try to drag this child down with you to fulfill your own sick desires
.
May God have mercy on your soul
He will deal with me as He sees appropriate.
DeleteI am not trying to drag her down with me. What gave that impression?
I doubt you'll get that far, Artyomka. I think you'll probably not even make it to Hell, you'll be stuck in limbo, with nothing around you. Forever alone, biotch. :D
DeleteDeluded lost soul, you cannot see the harm that you do by inflicting yourself on your own daughter. You are bringing her nothing but misery and pain by murdering innocents in order to control her. This can only serve to push her towards her death or damnation
DeleteI kind of prefer to be alone. So Limbo doesn't really bother me. As long as you're not there, I'll be fine.
DeleteI think you missed the part where I said she is a non believer. That child is already damned.
'that child'
DeleteShe has a name.
Then how could you let Kelevra get away with calling her "Minxie?" "Minxie" isn't her name, technically Sanna isn't her name either. Alexandria's her name. Why not have a go at everyone.
DeleteThere's a difference between a nickname and dehumanising techniques. For all your big talk about thinking of your victims as people, That's what you're trying now.
DeleteYour own fucking daughter.
Sooo when Father Brien says "the poor girl" about Laura....... he's dehumanising her?
DeleteTo a certain extent. On the other hand, he isn't playing roulette with her sanity, so I wouldn't say the situations are equivalent.
DeleteWhy do you think would deliberately or subconsciously dehumanise or objectify Alyechka?
DeleteBecause you're tearing her apart, and can't deal with it? You're avoiding the fact that she's out there, cold and alone and helpless, and what you're doing is making it worse. That you had to make threats to stop your actions driving her to suicide, and she still might, because you've convinced her it's what she deserves?
DeleteYou'd make a good proxy.
Hey, I just found this on Wikipedia under 'Objectification':
Delete"In social philosophy, objectification means treating a person as a thing, without regard to their dignity.
According to the philosopher Martha Nussbaum, a person is objectified if they are treated:
as a tool for another's purposes (instrumentality);
***as if lacking in agency or self-determination (denial of autonomy, inertness);***
as if owned by another (ownership);
as if interchangeable (fungibility);
as if permissible to damage or destroy (violability);
as if there is no need for concern for their feelings and experiences (denial of subjectivity)."
So when you say she's 'cold and alone and helpless', aren't you doing what you're wrongly accusing me of doing? Ha!
I'm not denying her agency like you, because I know she can choose to come back. See?
And I'm not denying her the freedom to choose not to come back.
DeleteI get the sense that you might hate me, Lovett?
DeleteReally? You must remember to use your psychic powers for good. That means not random murder.
DeleteSo far, you and Kelevra want me dead. Only two people. I gotta work harder.
DeleteI don't want you dead, I just want you out of the way. When I can make a deal with Kelevra and have him kill you pretty much for free, it's not because I want you dead. It's because that's the easiest way of dealing.
Delete"Out of the way" of what, exactly?
DeleteSanna's my friend. I want to see her live a happy life. You're in the way of that.
DeleteDo you honestly think she had a happy life before me?
DeleteBefore you? Before Kelevra? Before any of it?
Tell me, do you think the girl knows happiness?
Maybe not.
DeleteDo you really think that's a good reason not to try?
You don't think she will always live in fear and loneliness if I go? You don't think she will always have those memories?
DeleteNo. Fear and loneliness aren't inevitable; there are good people out there who want what's best for her. Memories will always be a reminder; but good ones can be made.
DeleteAre any of those arguments saying you should be making things worse? Can you give one good reason for making happiness just a bit further away?
You don't think I want happiness too?
DeleteYou're happier having completely fucked your chances of Sanna viewing you as anything other than another nightmare?
DeleteThat's pretty odd.
Well I think she's probably quite forgiving. To be friends with Kelevra, you'd surely have to be.
DeleteYou really think things are gonna work out for you? Every time she sees you, she'll be seeing Vanya, too. She's willing to forgive bad things happening to faceless people, who she doesn't know-who isn't?- but she met him. He tried to help her, your daughter, and you made her watch you drown him.
DeleteSome things don't get forgiven. When you add in the element of betrayal, you get what we used in London to get particularly stubborn runners to top themselves.
Good workmanship, at least. Bravo.
Your a huge dumbass for thinking you will ever be safe.
ReplyDeleteGet rid of her.
ReplyDeleteIf I am right in assuming what KnitWolf has done to her, is the same Kelevra did to me, than all of you are in danger and I do not exaggerate.
I will not waste time explaining, I simply can't afford it, if you wish, Alexandria (Sanna) can explain what I'm talking about.
I realize for what I say is impossible for you to even begin to consider, I don't expect you to take that course of action.
I said what I had to say, good luck.
- Mr. Incognito.
Dawww now why would you suggest that, Incogsy? I mean, isn't the gift I gave you, the best you ever received? That is what Knitty did, gave Laura a gift, a gesture of kindness, which soon, all of them will see.
DeleteJust like Minxie did, isn't that right Minxie? :)
Incognito sir, I already gave Mr Brien the relevant links in the comments of the previous post and asked him to read them, but Laura opened them instead.
DeleteFather Brien, I will say this much. You cannot just stay there and hope everything might work out kinda OK. Incognito tried that and it didn't work very well.
@Kelevra - >:(
We are where we must be.
DeleteI read what happened, but there is no way that KnitWolf would have been able to do such a thing to Laura. The devil and his ilk dare not trespass within our borders.
I will not cast the child out, least of all on the words of those who bear demon as KnitWolf does
Good to know that you feel safe, Father Barny, nice to meet you, I'm Kelevra.
ReplyDeleteI would suggest hiring some exorcists in the near future, or if you know how to perform an exorcism, than that's GREAT!
You'll need it.
I have no need of the advice of a foul thing like you
Delete"foul thing"
DeleteDEHUMANISATION! Lovett, get in here!
