| #146: Hidden |
[Oct. 5th, 2006|05:46 pm] |
The truth is hidden. Well, hidden from most of them anyway.
The only person who ever discovered the truth - who ever cared enough to uncover the truth - was dear old John. But John liked to play dumb, see? Never let his boys in on the secret.
Never dear little Sammy in on the secret.
Probably thought he was protecting his boys or something by keeping it all from them, like he tried to keep them from the fight. Silly sentimental idiot.
If he'd wanted to fight this war, he should have known that there isn't time for sentiments and feelings - and oh, he should have taught those boys better than he did because, in the end, they're all as sentimental as each other. Too much touchy-feely stuff and, really, it's a weakness for them all.
And now that Daddy's dead, it's just the two of them and a whole load of secrets that John took to the grave with him.
Secrets about things that would probably have saved his boys.

| #140: You're walking past an alleyway and a bullet whistles past your head. You immediately... |
[Aug. 23rd, 2006|10:31 pm] |
Turn around and pinpoint the person who dared fire it. It's not like I really have to worry about what happens to this body anyway; it's not mine - well, not mine in the sense that I don't have to actually worry about losing it, after all, I can find a new one anytime I want - and I can keep it alive even if the bullets hit.
The idiot turns out to be just some kid who's looking to mug the man whose skin I'm wearing. Not that I really blame him because the man I've chosen to possess is well decked out - it's always easier to get what you want when the person you're inside looks the part, after all - but it was a stupid move all the same.
If he'd been on target, I might have even spared his life.
As it was, I showed him how it was done.
Shot him with his own gun without even touching it. The police will never know what happened - not that I cared what happened to the man I'm in, but he's got a lot of good qualities and using him makes everything so easy that I'd hate to have to find someone else; it'd be such a chore.
The kid should be grateful anyway; he died instantly. If he'd picked the wrong person, he might have been hurt.

| #136: What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
|
[Jul. 22nd, 2006|03:04 am] |
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger? I don't think so.
What doesn't kill you is just playing with you.
People just don't seem to get it; they're perfectly easy to kill - so fragile, so, unbelievably breakable - snap their neck, slit their body in the right place - fire, water, earth, air - everything and anything can kill a human being. They think that, because they're armed, because they run, because they train and protect themselves - because they're not dead yet, they're invincible. They think they're stronger every time they escape death.
Please. They're not stronger; they're more damaged.
Because John Winchester didn't die, he became a hunter. Damaged, scarred - bitter and angry - and raises his boys by filling their heads with revenge and paranoia. There's a gaping wound where Mary used to be, one he has to live with for the rest of his life, one that haunts his every move and every action. That's not strength - that's a break in a human soul.
Dean Winchester's lived through a lot? Yeah, he has. It makes him think he's invincible. It makes him think that, because he's not dead yet, I can't kill him - and I can't take dear little Sam with me. Naive little boy. He's not stronger; he's far more broken than he would ever admit. He makes it so easy. Needs his brother and father more and more every time anything happens - when they get more and more obsessed with killing me and seem to lose any concern for themselves; gets more paranoid, more wary of everything and everyone; shuts it up, locks it all inside, afraid to show his brother and his father that he's human too - that? That's not strength; that's stupidity and a flimsy attempt to hide the pain that grows everyday.
And Sammy - ah, dear, little Sammy. Can't you see the break from where you are? His father's quest, his brother's over protectiveness and unwavering faith in a father that's been absent for pretty much all of Sam's life - the things that pushed him into trying to live some sort of normal life, which only serves to break him - because it's a taste, Sammy dear, just a taste of it so that you can remember all the things you can never have. I could have taken him from his cradle, killed him as I stood there and ran my hands over that delicate cheek, through those soft strands of hair - I could have killed him. But I didn't. I could have killed him when he slept, completely unprotected, in his dorm room at Stanford (a thousand times or more during those years) - or as he lay there, his girlfriend's blood dripping over his cheek.
I could have - but I didn't. Because I enjoy watching the breaks, the scars that burn themselves into the fragile human souls, that bleed and tear with every day that passes.
It happens every time - and they splinter and crack and, one day, they all break. That? That's far more amusing to watch than just killing them.
It's hardly their fault; lying to comfort yourself is a very human trait - and they are so, very human.
"What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger." What an incredibly human thing to believe.

| #135: Talk about something you inherited. |
[Jul. 19th, 2006|10:14 pm] |
We don’t inherit things, not in the sense you’re thinking about.
Physically, I suppose I inherit the body of whoever I decide to possess, inherit their mind, their memories, feel their strengths and weaknesses, their inner most secrets and desires, fears – all that sort of thing. I don’t have anything like that of my own. It’s actually a thrilling feeling, to be able to know someone’s mind like that.
You’d be surprised at some of the things that these people feel inside. I certainly know more about John Winchester than any – perhaps I know more about him than even himself. There are things those humans like to hide from themselves, after all.
Demons don’t inherit characteristics from their parents or whatever emotional connection you humans like to have. Talking about inheriting this, that and the other is just another way of pushing away the blame, of trying to make your little psyches able to stand some of the things you do or think.
We’re born the way we are. We don’t question where it all comes from or why; we just live it.

| #133: If... |
[Jul. 4th, 2006|07:28 pm] |
If I hadn't chosen Sam Winchester, hadn't killed Mary when she'd got in the way, life wouldn't be half as fun as it currently is. There'd be a huge chunk of entertainment missing in my life - and my plans wouldn't actually be so wonderfully, perfectly, put into motion. It's part of the reason I haven't killed them off yet.
It's also part of the reason I haven't come back to claim little Sammy yet.
Most families, see, after their wife or mother's killed in the fire, assume their child's gone as well. Most families never make it in time to pull their little ones out of it - and then the child ends up raised by me - end up raised as my children. There have, of course, been exceptions. Max Miller, for example, managed to be "saved" from me - only to end up with an abusive father. That's really no fun.
Although he turned out brilliantly; anger and hatred made his powers bloom so wonderfully - and it's a real pity the boy didn't just shoot the Winchester boy, his step-mother and then continued to live.
But back to the Winchesters, who really provide all the best entertainment.
Little Sammy blossomed and bloomed too, and all that anger and hatred he's been directing at me, especially after his pretty girl's death, my little "visit" to his father's mind and my fun and games with his brother, is really developing that gift of his. It's brilliant that it's all going according to plan - the great, beautiful plans I have for that boy.
John and Dean? Don't realise they're there for the ride. Their antics entertain me, especially in thinking they can keep Sam from me, especially when they are the ones who'll end up moulding Sam the way I want him - and eventually, they'll be the ones to bring their precious little Sammy right to me.

| #132: What makes you the angriest? |
[Jul. 2nd, 2006|02:31 am] |
Ah, what makes me angry? Not a lot. I feed off other people’s anger; it amuses me to no end.
There are things that annoy me.
People who get in the way of my plans annoy me, like those Winchesters: John pulling his kid out of the fire, or that little girl they stopped me from taking in Salvation...the way they keep hunting me – but in the end, it doesn’t make me angry: it amuses me because they just don’t get it.
They can’t stop me and they’ll never kill me – and they can’t protect anyone from me, however hard they try. Even dear little Sammy – they might have managed to keep him when he was six months old, and protect him from me now – but the child’s mine. That boy – like every other child who’s been blessed with those gifts – belongs to me.
People who just don’t get it also annoy me. Dean Winchester’s a prime example. Thinks he’s the only one with a family in the world; the only one with a family to care for and protect – doesn’t care how many others he destroys. Shot my boy and exorcised my girl, and he thinks he’s not doing anything wrong. He didn’t like it much when I killed his mother and possessed his father now, did he? If I didn’t want Sam alive, I’d have killed him to. And made that little brat watch.
But in the end, that amused me too – because it’s all really quite futile. I could have killed them all if I’d wanted to. And they’re mortal – human – you can kill them, maim them, break them – but they can never do that to you or my family. That’s funny.
In the end, watching them struggle is all the entertainment I ever need. There’s nothing that makes me angry because, in the end, the things that they do to annoy me, even just a little, just gives me all the more reason to hurt them more.
