codex: the last page of a letter
Nov. 1st, 2017 07:57 amAlways remember you are not to blame. You did not pick this life. We I forced it upon you. The blood you have spilled is on my hand, not yours, and please understand why I must ask you to kill one last time. Because tonight what you do is right. Tonight, what you serve is justice. Tonight, you take back the life we stole from you.
I never wanted a family. My father stripped me of that desire. He took my childhood, my innocence, my life. And then I took yours. I became what I hated and feared most, and you became my victim. But then you showed me hope. You showed me that we can chose to be something other than what we are forced to be, that we can be something better than we believe we are. And, in a moment, you saved my life. All that matters to me now is that I save yours.
I wish we could just run away without any more bloodshed. But if you don't stop him, he will never stop. He will do it again. He's already started. After tonight, we'll just keep moving and never look back. We'll start a new life, have a future, be a family.
I'm sorry I waited so long to tell you these things. There is so much more I want to tell you, and I will, but one thing that you must always remember no matter what has happened and no matter what may come: You are a child, not a weapon. You are my child. You are my daughter, and I love you.
I will always love you, Laura.
Your mother,
Sarra
