Chapter 31: 31-The Brutal Betrayal

Clementine:

"So, how does the story end?" Yorick asks, giving me the apple.

While they were preparing for the night, I read through the diary. And honestly speaking, the tale was sadder than I thought it was.

"So basically, she had a best friend she always had a crush on, but the two never shared feelings. I guess it was back when everything was normal, or the monsters were only in one corner of the North. And then Diana began to have second thoughts about her marriage once her best friend returned. They were all omegas, by the way," I added, clearing my throat.

Troy was squatting down, one arm on the knee and the other just against the thigh, with his fingers meeting and him plucking the grass between them, whereas Yorick sat next to me, his one knee up and the hand resting on it. His head turned to me.

"So she fell in love with her best friend again?" Troy asked.

"She began to have feelings and introduced him back to her husband. The three started going around, farming, everything together. Diana and Elliot had a daughter too. Everything seemed to be fine for Elliot until one day he found them together in his bed. He cried, she wrote it in the book. He was devastated. He asked her why she did this to him. And she said it was just that she never got to experience what it was like to be with the man she had always loved. So when he appeared again, she couldn’t help but love him again. And this time, even he was in love with her. So the two started just fucking around when Elliot was not around. It upset Elliot, but he still gave her a choice. He told her if she wished to be with him, he would forget about the best friend and they would just live like nothing had happened. She told him fine, she’d do that and forget about her best friend," I sighed, taking a pause, because I could tell the two had questions.

"Then how did it end up being so messy?" Troy asked.

"Good question. The answer is simple. She lied," I uttered, watching them nod their heads as if saying, ’woman.’

"She was planning on running away with her best friend," I explained.

"Then why did she lie to him? She could have just told him. He was giving her a choice. He was not going to force her to stay with him," Yorick explained, definitely taking sides.

And honestly speaking, I was on Elliot’s side too. His wife, his lover, fucked him up in all sorts of weird ways.

"She didn’t want to leave her daughter behind," I said. This was something I had read in the diary.

"Oh, so she wanted to have everything. She wanted to break him, waste his years of life, and then take his daughter away from him as well?" Troy was right. I agreed with him. We were so angry with this woman.

"But then how did he turn into a Faun?" Yorick asked.

"Actually, there is a twist," I uttered.

"What is it?" Troy questioned.

"She ran away with her boyfriend and her daughter. Elliot came home, probably must have cried, drank himself to sleep. But I guess he had too many drinks. And the bottle near him, at some point in the night, tripped. And the alcohol was poured onto him while he was sleeping and in his drunken state. He must have tipped over the candle when he tipped over the bottle as well. He was caught on fire. Elliot had a goat that he had always loved and taken care of. That goat rushed through the front door, the door he had left open thinking his wife would return, and started to jump on top of him to put out the fire. Something his wife didn’t do, his goat was ready to do for him, to fight for him. But sadly the two died together, or so they thought."

I paused because, once again, Troy started to click his tongue.

"Is it written in the diary?" he asked. "How did Diana know?"

He was right. She didn’t.
