It's over.

There never was a vampire. Just a girl who'd gone mad.

She had been abused by her stepfather, and it seems to have pushed her over the edge. Her face was disfigured by her father, and he died shortly after; when that happened, she started going insane and believed all sorts of legends about her ancestors being vampires. Her brother tried to protect her from anyone suspecting what she'd done, but that couldn't last forever.

A group of townspeople stormed their home; in the scuffle, the place lit on fire. The brother locked himself in a room with his sister while everyone else fled. The place burned to the groun. Earl Cain tried to go back for them but it wasn't any use.

I'll be glad to be rid of this place. We're returning to London in a few days. Earl Cain seems to blame himself for what happened; it'd be best if we left soon.

He wasn't a vampire, either. There'd been rumors of one of her ancestors, Gertrude, being one and being burned at the stake for it. And even those seem sketchy; the "spells" she inflicted on her victims were more likely the start of the Black Plague.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

Yes. She looked exactly like the girl who'd broken into Earl Cain's room the last time I posted, and her brother also confessed his involvement.

What year are you located in, if we're in the past?

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry. Is there anything I can do?

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

No, but I appreciate the offer. For now, I think that all we can do is get out of this godforsaken little town.

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

I-I'm sorry, I can't help with that. I hope you get out safely.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I imagine now that the one causing the attacks is gone, everything will go smoothly.

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

That's good to know. Still...a safe journey is always welcome.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

That's true. Hopefully we'll be lucky and have no further incidents after this.

Are you police?

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

No, I'm not. I'm merely Earl Cain's physician.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Is he police?

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

No, though he fancies himself a detective sometimes.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Is he supposed to be solving crime?

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

No. He just likes to do it anyway, ignoring all advice to the contrary.

That's quite unusual but not the strangest things I ever heard.

Way too sad, though.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

It is sad, perhaps, but the girl killed many people. At least now she will kill no longer.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

True. But she acted that way for a reason.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

It doesn't matter. Better she perish than continue to kill.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

The best option was to stop her and judge, not murder her.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

Maybe so, but mob rule and her brother's impulsiveness seem to have decided the issue.
