A Fairy Out of Her Tale - Dear Diary - 5. Scene 05

In which Nessa cant make up her mind...

2nd January 1995

Dear Diary of Self-doubt,

 

I spent the last hour up in my tree-bed staring at leaves and thinking about what you said. Well, what you made me say.

It's tempting to think that I just did what I had to do, that if I hadn't killed my step-father, things would've been worse for me. But I can't — I can't allow myself to think that murder is a solution. That it’s justified. I've lost my powers, but I'm still a fairy. Ending one's life is never justified.

Even if he said he had been waiting for the opportunity for years. If he sought out our family so that he would one day take us to his demon boss.

I think about the 12 years he lived with us. The 12 years he loved us and we loved him. Then I think of the 10, 20 minutes that turned him into a monster and led to his death. I still can't make sense of it. Was that the real him all along? Did we live a lie for 12 years? Or did something else happen, something he couldn't control...?

There's no point imagining that now. He's dead. It doesn't matter.

Maybe he had been kidnapped too, and exchanged freedom for the task of bringing other fairies to fill his place.

Maybe it was the same demon who took my father, and they wanted the rest of the family to join him.

Which means I would've met my father again if I had let Morumpi take me.

No, that's impossible! Even if it was the same demon, dad has been gone for 14 years. He can't still be alive. Nobody lasts more than a year in the demons' clutches.

Or so they say...

You're making me have bad thoughts again. I should've known you would be a bad influence on me!

I'm not going to talk to you again until you learn to behave!

Thanks for reading!
Nessa is having wild thoughts. That diary really is a bad influence for her! 
What could turn a such a loving (step-)father into someone who wanted to hurt her daughter? Sure, he was only trying to kidnap her, but if what Nessa said about nobody lasting more than year with their captors, then we're pretty much talking "delayed death sentence" here. 
But if he was pretending the whole time... 12 years is a lot of pretending. And why wait so long, anyway? Wouldn't Nessa be easier to capture at age 4 than age 16? 
Those are either horrible plot holes I just figured out, or there's some actual plot hiding behind those mysteries somewhere...
And you'll have to wait until Friday to find out! 
(Unless you become my patron, in which case you can read the next 3 scenes right now!)
See you Friday! :)

Could there be a chance that the Demon Lord is her father trying to reunite the family :P Anyway keep up the work :)

I like that idea!

 

*reading in sinister narrator voice*

What Nessa could never have imagined was that her mother once counted among her lovers a demon of great ambition. However, they parted ways before Nelma found out about her pregnancy, thus never realising who the father of her child really was. The demon, however, knew very well. He could feel the girl's birth his in demon-sized horns and dreamed of the day his family would finally be reunited. 

'Morumpi!' He called one day, sitting in his throne of fire stacked over the skulls and empty demon-horns of his enemies. His horns were the biggest, though. He was powerful that way and not at all overcompensating for anything.
His most trustworthy servant came forth. 'My Lord!'

'The time has come for your rescue mission to unfold. Go and retrieve my child and lover, so that I can triumph in my final challenge!' He laughed like the evilest villain - which he most certainly wasn't, at least not in his eyes - and would have patted his own back for such a carefully laid plan, if not for the cumbersome leather cape with protruding spikes that penetrated anything that hovered over them. 

'Yes, My Lord. Anything you wish, My Lord!'

Morumpi left his Lord Master Demon with stary eyes. Finally the time to show his usefulness had come. Surely his Adored Lord Demon Master would reward him well once he returned with the girl and the woman. How happy he would be to finally taste His Lord Mater's huge horns and other crass euphemisms. 

The rest, of course, is history...

*here ends the sinister narrator voice*

 

I'm sure that's exactly how it happened. I blame you for figuring out the plot so early on. :P

Sounds like the World of Warcraft peasants talking when the servant came forward and spoke "yes, my lord. Anything you wish, my lord." Only to be followed by - "what more work," or "I'll get right on it governor." Ah well, we'll just call this extra content, it could be an alternative ending lol. :P
