take your time.

why would i send you away?

yes, a bath. you can plan on having a bath every night while you’re here.

it’s lucky i went after you.

your bandage is filthy already.

then eat. i know you can’t be full.

you must have been scared.

i’m going to be sick.

what am i supposed to do with you?

you don’t know what it’s like, being away from home and being so afraid.

❛   feels like i’m falling apart.   ❜ ❛   —-   except for the part where you became a homicidal maniac.   ❜ ❛   first you listen, then i kill.   ❜ ❛   ha, i’ve come back from worse.   ❜ ❛   i knew there was a reason i kept you around! and it wasn’t the sparkling conversation.   ❜ ❛   brings a tear to my eye.   ❜ ❛   well, i had to come back. i was worried you’d get bored not being able to stick your nose in my business.   ❜ ❛   life is pain. so is death.   ❜ ❛   it takes a woman to know it.   ❜ ❛   never see the world for what it appears to be. dare to see it for what it could be.  ❜ ❛   come at the king, best not miss.   ❜ ❛   i sometimes wonder if all that armor slows your brain down.   ❜ ❛   never liked going to the doctor.   ❜ ❛   least number of kills buys post-mission drinks.   ❜ ❛   need someone to tuck you in?   ❜ ❛   those who fall will be forgotten. those who rise up… their names will be remembered.   ❜ ❛   someone has to be ready when all your careful planning doesn’t pan out.   ❜ ❛   still trying to play hero?   ❜ ❛   someone has to do something! we have to do something!   ❜ ❛   the true enemy of humanity is disorder.   ❜ ❛   i shouldn’t overstay my welcome; i’m probably still on the watchlist here.   ❜ ❛   i don’t even think children are afraid of you.   ❜ ❛   you kids today with this techno music. you should listen to the classics, like hasselhoff.   ❜ ❛   try not to get yourself killed out there.   ❜ ❛   you’re looking quite well. this life must agree with you.   ❜ ❛   this will only hurt for a minute.   ❜ ❛   conflict and war is the crucible through which we evolve.   ❜ ❛   you believe that? i don’t even know what to tell you.   ❜ ❛   you are trapped in your own mind.   ❜ ❛   knock me down, and i’ll keep getting back up.   ❜ ❛   hm, pretty place. be a shame to kill someone here.   ❜ ❛   i had a poster of you on my wall when i was younger.   ❜ ❛   you having trouble keeping up?   ❜ ❛   just tell me one thing: where’d you learn to shoot like that?   ❜ ❛   things may change, but you never do.   ❜ ❛   you sure take to this bad guy thing easily, don’t ya?   ❜ ❛   you really should take better care of yourself.   ❜ ❛   now this is my kind of city! everyone’s free to live as they choose.   ❜ ❛   i am the angel of death.   ❜ ❛   never leave a teammate behind.   ❜ ❛   you look like a guy who needs someone blown up.   ❜ ❛   one of these day’s someone’s gonna put an end to you.   ❜ ❛   nice to see you doing your job for once.   ❜ ❛   are you trying to impress me?   ❜      ❛   don’t think i’d forget about you.   ❜ ❛   what are you going to do when the fighting’s over?   ❜ ❛   i’ll see you in hell.   ❜ ❛   you haven’t aged a day. what’s your secret?   ❜ ❛   it’s a good thing i have you to watch my back.   ❜ ❛   i’m not a young man anymore.   ❜ ❛   that’s ‘sir’ to you.   ❜ ❛   ____ in the flesh, woo! can i get your autograph?   ❜ ❛   awwwwww, you’re trying so hard.   ❜ ❛   you should consider joining us. i think we’d see eye to eye.   ❜ ❛   now where’s my hero’s welcome?   ❜ ❛   just setting foot here sets my soul at ease.   ❜ ❛   true strength is hard work and dedication — not augmentation!    ❜ ❛   you need to slow down; think about your actions.   ❜ ❛   i make this look good… real good.   ❜ ❛   those who think they are all-knowing, know nothing of what they do not.   ❜ ❛   revenge is not justice.   ❜ ❛   i know the doubts that plague you.   ❜ ❛   peculiar choice of headwear…   ❜ ❛   pain is an excellent teacher.   ❜ ❛   i want to hug you like big, fuzzy siberian bear.   ❜ ❛   i’m sure there’s a reasonable scientific explanation for this.   ❜ ❛   sometimes i’m not sure why i even bother.   ❜ ❛   i hope you learned your lesson.   ❜ ❛   sorry, sorry. i’m sorry. sorry.   ❜ ❛   you know, smoking’s bad for your health.   ❜ ❛   the suffering of my people rests heavily on your shoulders.   ❜ ❛   lose the battle, win the war.   ❜ ❛   get down; give me twenty!   ❜ ❛   they used to believe that witches lived in these woods.   ❜ ❛   i’m not a miracle worker. well… not always.   ❜ ❛   you always did have a high opinion of yourself.   ❜ ❛   a warrior’s greatest weapon… is patience.   ❜ ❛   ouch! are you okay?   ❜ ❛   are you sure life isn’t a game?   ❜ ❛   look at the snow! we should make snow angels!   ❜ ❛   you might not want to tell your friends about that.   ❜ ❛   i heard there’s a nice reward for bring you in.   ❜ ❛   i lost many good soldiers here.   ❜ ❛   a moment to enjoy some peace and quiet. probably just a moment.   ❜ ❛   must violence always be the solution?   ❜ ❛   i am a different man now. i am whole.   ❜ ❛   you’re just a no-good bully. how can you look at yourself in the mirror?   ❜ ❛   and they said i was the mad one.   ❜ ❛   don’t like shooting a lady. but for you, i’ll make an exception.   ❜ ❛   i thought you were dead… why didn’t you tell me?   ❜ ❛   this is no place for children.   ❜ ❛   i wouldn’t drink the coffee; always tasted like boiled dirt.   ❜ ❛   the destruction here… it reminds me of home.   ❜ ❛   remind me to stay out of your bad side.   ❜ ❛   i didn’t start this war; but i’m damn well gonna finish it.   ❜ ❛   i still love you.   ❜ ❛   i’m a man on a mission; stay out of me way.   ❜ ❛   you hear me baby? just hold together!   ❜ ❛   this is much better than a cabana on the beach.   ❜ ❛   i get the feeling you’re not taking me seriously…   ❜ ❛   you were not meant for greatness.   ❜ ❛   you know, i still owe you for saving my life.   ❜ ❛   what are you looking at?   ❜ ❛   got your aim from your mum, i see.   ❜ ❛   you ain’t seen me angry.   ❜ ❛   actions have consequences.   ❜ ❛   you sure know how to play boy scout.   ❜ ❛   i’m not your father.   ❜ ❛   bones heal, pain is temporary; scars look good.   ❜ ❛   i’m the one that does their job. i’m thinking you’re the other one.   ❜ ❛   where’s your holiday spirit?   ❜ ❛   i can do this with my eyes closed.   ❜ ❛   god save the king.   ❜ ❛   destroy the enemy, take no prisoners.   ❜ ❛   it’s hard to say who ___ would be more disappointed by.   ❜ ❛   save the medals. i’ve had my fill.   ❜ ❛   my enemies fall like cherry blossoms.   ❜ ❛   i have some chocolates for you… not swiss.   ❜ ❛   lot of memories of this place. they weren’t all bad.   ❜ ❛   i didn’t teach you all my tricks.   ❜ ❛   now this place? ugh. makes me an atheist.   ❜ ❛   let’s say we forget all about this and go to the beach instead.   ❜ ❛   treasure? sure, i don’t know what you’re talking about!   ❜ ❛   this was my home. no longer…   ❜ ❛   you are mistaken. i am beyond redemption.   ❜ ❛   mock death are your own peril.   ❜ ❛   i always liked working with you. no awkward small talk.   ❜      ❛   old soldiers never die… and they don’t fade away.   ❜ ❛   looked in a mirror lately?   ❜ ❛   we could have built an empire together.   ❜ ❛   big mouth, big target.   ❜ ❛   if you sit by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will pass by.   ❜ ❛   can’t stop, won’t stop.   ❜ ❛   you said you would arm wrestle me. nervous?   ❜ ❛   the heart of a man still beats inside me.   ❜ ❛   our paths cross for now. as for the future… we shall see.   ❜ ❛   you were once a legend, but what are you now? just a shell of a woman.   ❜ ❛   i’m not in it for the glory.   ❜ ❛   like mother, like daughter.   ❜ ❛   now those are some fireworks.   ❜ ❛   you chose your side.   ❜ ❛   guess we’ll do this the old fashioned way.   ❜ ❛   would have been better to let this all go…   ❜ ❛   i don’t tolerate defeat.   ❜ ❛   from here it looks so orderly and peaceful…   ❜ ❛   if it lives, i can kill it.   ❜ ❛   make a lot threats and someone’s going to shut you up.   ❜ ❛   you look like you’ve seen a ghost.   ❜ ❛   won’t be a problem if you just disappeared forever.   ❜ ❛   ‘sic transit gloria’.  ❜ ❛   i will fight to my last breath.   ❜ ❛   i don’t feel. that’s the point, isn’t it?   ❜ ❛   over my dead body.   ❜ ❛   and here i thought we had a plan…   ❜ ❛   it’s not too late to change your course.   ❜ ❛   last one there’s a rotten egg!   ❜ ❛   last i checked, i didn’t ask for your opinion.   ❜ ❛   why are you so angry?   ❜ ❛   what’s wrong? don’t you recognize me?   ❜ ❛   such beauty is wasted upon the soul of a killer.   ❜ ❛   you can be my wingman, anytime!   ❜ ❛   let us rid ourselves of these unwanted guests.   ❜ ❛   i’m too young to die.   ❜ ❛   alright. gameface: on.   ❜ ❛   i tried being reasonable. didn’t take to it.   ❜ ❛   the world could always use more heroes.   ❜ ❛   this is not my kind of weather! have an extra jacket?   ❜ ❛   ever get that feeling of de ja vu?   ❜ ❛   i’m not bad. not good. but i sure as hell ain’t ugly.   ❜ ❛   it is beautiful here… i could never appreciate it before.   ❜ ❛   freedom is an illusion that does more harm than good.   ❜ ❛   this is gonna make you feel better.   ❜ ❛   let’s get this party started!   ❜ ❛   is it hot in here? or is it just me?   ❜ ❛   uh-oh, sniper, keep moving.   ❜ ❛   when the music hits, you feel no pain.   ❜ ❛   stupidity isn’t a right.   ❜ ❛   oh man, i hope you didn’t work too hard on that.   ❜ ❛   i think i’ve made improvements. to your face.   ❜

❝  THAT SO ? ❞  the ship she takes from her cherry coke bottle is deliberated & slow,    but bleeding with the casual air that radiates from the rest of her  :  loose curls,    hand on her hip,    a spine with a casual curve & weight shifted to one leg.    she almost has no reason or purpose being in a town like this  –  not with her attire.   BUT THAT’S NONE OF HER BUSINESS.    she knows she ‘ sticks out ’ perfectly fine.

❝    ———   i wouldn’t be so sure.   YOU’RE INTERESTING & NEW,    wouldn’t you say ?    was it tequila or vodka you snuck out of that store ?    ❞

SHE REMAINS UNBOTHERED,  looping loose figure - eights,  arms held slightly apart from her body like a bird mid - flight.   but she’s smug   &   it wafts from her  :   she’s found some satisfaction in being caught doing something that her mother would disapprove of.    &   what could a stranger do about it?

‘    tequila.   it was kylie’s idea  --  she’s the one who snatched it.   as if she can hold her liquor.    ’    she stops  suddenly,  the toe of her skate tilted against the pavement.   all smiles,  all honey.     ‘    say,  you won’t tell,  will you?   it can be our little secret,  woman to woman.    ’

i found it first. i let the police discover it, but i found it first. as amma trailed me like an angry dog, i tore through the apartment, upending seat cushions, rummaging through drawers. what have you done, amma? by the time i got to her room, she was calm. smug. i sifted through her panties, dumped out her wish chest, turned over her mattress. 

i swept out the contents of the dollhouse room by room, smashing my little four-posted bed, amma’s day bed, the lemon yellow love seat. once i’d flung out my mother’s big brass canopy and destroyed her vanity table, either amma or i screamed. maybe both of us did. the floor of my mother’s room. the beautiful ivory tiles. made of human teeth. fifty-six tiny teeth, cleaned and bleached and shining from the floor. […] lily burke’s chocolate-colored hair amma braided into a rug for my room in her dollhouse.

this is going to be the unofficial “about page” until i get around to making a legitimate one. amma crellin is camille preaker’s half-sister, thirteen years old. her family holds prestige in the small town of wind gap, missouri for their pig farm, which allots the family a generous amount of wealth. amma’s family dynamic is highly dysfunctional and consequently results in amma’s behavior. her mother, adora, who suffers from münchausen syndrome by proxy, frequently poisons amma with pills to make her sick so that she can take care of amma and baby her. amma allows this and emulates the perfect, well-behaved daughter around adora, but is unruly, antagonistic and a bully outside of their home. she is rarely seen without her group of friends who she claims would “do anything” for her.  eventually, amma’s mother is charged with the murder of camille’s biological sister, marian, and the two other murdered girls in the town. it is revealed that while adora did kill camille’s biological sister, amma is ultimately responsible for killing the two other girls in town as well as another girl who amma feared camille was getting too close to. that motive is relevant for the other two girls whom she killed, as amma believed that her mother liked the two girls more than she liked her. while jealousy was the prime motivator for amma, i personally believe that amma also killed natalie and ann because they were allowed to be themselves around adora, whereas amma had to constantly assume a persona of perfection around her.

“amma killed lily all by herself, hit her on the back of the head with a stone, then strangled her with bare hands, plucked the six teeth, and cut her hair.”

“when i’d been sad, i hurt myself. amma hurt other people. when i’d wanted attention, i’d submitted myself to boys: do what you want; just like me. amma’s sexual offerings seemed a form of aggression. long skinny legs and slim wrists and high, babied voice all aimed like a gun. do what i want; i might like you.”

‘    CAMILLE, CAMILLE. DANGEROUS CAMILLE.  that’s what adora thinks.   she said you had some difficulties.    ’    her voice is light   &   musical,  taunting in all its simplicity.   cruel in the way that only a child can manage.      ‘    you don’t seem so scary to me,  sister.   i guess dangerous people never do.    ’    @liquorlubrication

[pluckedteeth]

‘    KELSEY’S JUST AN IDIOT.  i’m sure she wouldn’t have said any of those things if she knew you were standin’ right there.    ’    she wields her cherry popsicle like a gun,  deep red syrup streaking down her slender wrist. 

‘    &   jodes only laughed ‘cause she laughs at everything we say if she thinks we want her to laugh.   i laughed  ---  well,  because it was funny,  but it wasn’t real funny.   i could have come up with somethin’ better.    ’   @cathydoll
