To the allies of the cuckoo in the nest,
When I began hearing the whispers, I thought that surely they were nothing more than slander. I refused to believe that it would be that easy for the guild to fall to ruin in my absence. Yet all it took was a precursory investigation for me to find that, in the span of a year, a dark guild had not only managed to infiltrate our ranks but dismantle every rule and principle that set us opposite them. Did I take all common sense, all pride, all honor, with me on my travels?

I have given countless years of my life to the guild, and now I know that all I have been doing is holding on desperately to something that was lost long ago, if it ever existed to begin with. I can’t help but think to myself how pitiful. I suppose I was grateful for being taken on as an apprentice despite having nothing to my name. I wanted so badly to prove myself, to be of use to the guild. I had been lucky, and I needed to give back to those that saved me. It was an obligation that I was constantly reminded of, whenever food was distributed and I received less, whenever a mission was completed and I received none of the reward, whenever guests would arrive and I was the one cast aside to the floors.

I will not accept the willful ignorance and disrespect any longer; a guild without integrity is no home of mine. And you will find that my allies feel the same. Turns out they only tolerated you by extension of their loyalty to me; I was the only one too stubborn to see the truth of your corruption, until today. I will not make the same mistakes again; from now on my loyalty and life belong to those that deserve them.

And by now I have certainly droned on long enough to accomplish what I set out to do with this letter. You will find that everything I have contributed to the guild has disappeared. Perhaps I’m being a bit sentimental, but I have one last piece of advice for you; a gesture of good will, if you could call it that.

Never cross paths with me again.
Moon Walker

Dearest roommate,

I wish to inform you that your side of the rent is due. While I understand that this can be rather concerning and troublesome to determine which avenues your money has gone to, allow me to elucidate what led you to this mishap. Last week, you entered the flat insisting you were back from the store with “just the essentials”. However, when I looked over your purchases, there appeared to be additional items bought, including a rocking horse, a DVD of the entire collection of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly movies, a cake pop maker and ingredients, a personal trampoline, a Barbie-branded coffin, and an albino mouse. Where you found half of these purchases is beyond the scope of my knowledge. Let me put this bluntly; you do not need any of this. You do not like westerns, you do not need toys, and you do not eat cake pops. You cannot even eat them, which is why it is hard for me to fathom these purchases. Additionally, considering that you had the funds to go to two concerts this week, fifteen new outfits, and a hot-air balloon ride, I think there are ways to either find the funds yourself, or borrow them from your well-to-do parents. If you are unable to find your funding through this, here are some other ways to come up with the necessary payment:
— returning the “groceries”
— selling your Swarovski Crystal-bedazzled rhinestone lamp
— getting a job
— robbing a bank
— working as a clown at children’s parties
— becoming Batman (you’d also somehow be more batlike than actual Batman)
— creating papier-mâché toads to sell to art students

Additionally, maintenance of YOUR dishes and the garbage would allow for a more sanitary, rodent-free living space, enabling you to rehome the mouse you bought, claiming he will “tell the others that he was captured and brought here by aliens” to scare them off. Otherwise, I insist upon using the rodent problem as a way to cut down on dining costs, as you insisted that “rats are the juice boxes of the vampire world”, whatever that means.

In short, pay your rent, clean up your mess… and do please keep that infernal chanting down. The transformation process is difficult enough without your bothersome shrieking.
Strong regards,
Elen

To my future self,

Did you make it? Are you still breathing... still searching?
I have so many questions for you, ones I know I can never know the answers to. My hope is that you are faring better than I did, that I managed to pave the way for a more peaceful life for you.

Are you still being hunted? Did your shelter last long, or was hell unleashed upon you once more? I hope not. Otherwise, what was all of this effort even worth? It feels like every night I spend fighting for my life, just to give myself another measly day to live through. It's getting difficult to keep trying and forcing myself onto my feet every time I hear a single noise in the twilight.

Do you still know that gnawing fear, or did you somehow overcome that demon? Either way, I'm sure it still haunts you in the moments you least suspect it. It always has, hasn't it?

What am I saying? Of course it has.

Future me, my greatest hope for you is that my sacrifices paid off and that you found the home I had been searching years for. I pray you gained a family, a circle of trust you could come to hold dearly. They say wolves need a pack, yet... do you?

Right now, if you can recall, I'm writing this letter in the heart of that abandoned mansion I always joked about renovating. It's cold and damp, but it's quiet - that's all the matters to me right now. I'm safe, albeit temporarily, so I decided to take the time to write. Do you remember still, the dreams I had back here? Do you still share those dreams? Or, better yet, maybe you actually fulfilled them. Are you currently reading this in that grand bedroom on the upper floor? Or maybe you're on the balcony overlooking the lake below. That would be wonderful if that were true.

Though this may have been written in a fit of insanity, I desperately wish for these words to be looked back on in a bout of mirth for how far you've come, and maybe even with a sparkle of something bittersweet, for the grief of what had to be survived to get to whatever point you find yourself in.

- --- -- - -- --- -

May the moon forever light your path... Til the last breath.

Sincerely, your past.

Dearest Diana,

I have moved a lot these past years, and with that the many names I've gone by have also increased with the places I've resided in.
I beg your forgiveness for not writing to you sooner, and that now is under these circumstances.... but I had to make sure you knew that I have been found and can no longer keep running, that I have truly been backed into a corner.
I don't know how they did it, how they always managed to find me. No matter where I've gone, who I became, they always found me, and worse... they no of our secret....

Just a week ago as I write this, they had sent out some of their scouts to the cabin I've been hiding in the last six months.
I caught the scoping the place, and luckily they hadn't noticed me watching the from the bushes, but I knew it was over when they left with sinister grins on their faces.

I write to you now to tell you that it's over for me, that I hope they never find you dear sister. I pray for your safety, and that maybe one day we may meet again.... until then, please stay safe sister.

It was today that they came and forced me into a deal I had no choice but to make....
And now I have a year's supply of those darned thin mint cookies....
I don't know how they do it, but those girl scouts always find me and clean out my wallet....
Who knew a few kids could make a grown person cry. I now sit surrounded by piles of thin mint boxes all with my name shamefully on each and every one of them....

Your fool of a sibling, Callisto
