Taking a little break here to post…
I’m not finished with either essay. I haven’t even started the second one yet. It’s still percolating.
Got Ella out of a tight spot. Now she’s going to discover that vampires are sneakier than she thought. But she’s thrown her lot in with them by default, really, at least in her father’s mind. It’s like the lesser evil, I guess. She doesn’t trust her father because of the fact that he captured and tortured Robin for fifteen years, and yet her father set some doubts in her mind about the vampires’ intentions.
(Personally, I don’t think she’s really made up her mind yet whose side is the right side in this. Both sides—the vampires and the Hunters—have very good points to their respective madness.)
(Okay, I’ve been sitting here trying to think of something to compare it to, and it’s just not happening…)
It’s like… sheesh. Broad generalities, here... Militant vegans and meat eaters? Self-publishing vs. traditional publishing? Christians and Pagans? Heck, if I’m going to get into religions… Catholics vs. Baptists/Nazarenes/Hard-core Christians in general?
In truth, I think Ella will be forced to choose sides in this battle. She’s not going to be able to sit on the sidelines and watch.
(Although why everyone can’t just live together in peace, I don’t know. Maybe my mind is too open. Although, I am a Libra, which should explain everything.)
I can sympathize with both sides in this case. Ella’s father fervently believes he is right, and heck, Robin just wants to get the Hunters and Marcus off his back and live in peace. (That’s just not going to happen, though. It wouldn’t be much of a story, would it?)
Both sides have done horrible things. After all, Ella’s father tortured Robin for fifteen years. He also kept Ella in the dark. And the Hunters—the organization he belongs to—has done other things that will come to light eventually. Hahaha.
But Robin now holds an important Hunter captive, and Ella’s father is desperate for information. Ella doesn’t agree with Robin’s vow of vengeance, but she can’t really stop him, or blame him.
I mean, there are certain people I’d just love to tell off, but I don’t do it. You know? I’m too polite. Or something. ;) I really have to be provoked to react in that way. And I’m not counting sarcasm. My sarcasm shows far too often.
It’s one hell of a set-up, especially since I’m over 50k now, and should be over half done with this monster. I’ll be very interested to see if what I’ve ‘seen’ actually comes true. It would make for an interesting ending…
Haven’t killed anyone yet. But I’m getting there. I think. (insert evil laugh here)
