He can’t find out!
They all think I’m crazy. I’ll show them. I’ll show them who’s crazy.
I can’t take this much longer.
Sarah’s thoughts and hopes and love and fear spilled out and filled the room. Lilith felt as if she could reach out and touch her, tell her that she needed to leave, that there wasn’t anything left of Seth to save.
She shivered and turned the page.
Emma has his eyes. And lately they’ve been taking on more and more of his expression. I can’t…it hurts. It’s like watching him fall into the darkness all over again. And she’s just a little girl. She’s just a little girl.
Seth won’t let her go to school. He hardly knew she existed when she was a baby, but now…now it’s like he wants her in his world. When he first started showing interest in her, I was so hopeful. But she’s not bringing him out of the darkness. He’s pulling her in.
I can’t save them both.
He’s started a garden. It gets him out in the sun. But I’m scared…what if he realizes…and Emma works in the garden with him. Surely he wouldn’t…
He’s stopped talking about the life fruit. I’m afraid that’s because he’s figured it out.
I still don’t know what happened to him in the fire at the old lab, what it was that opened the void within him. What it was that made him so terrified of death.
What it was that made him willing to kill others in order to live.
Lilith’s soul howled with rage and grief and pain. Shannon, Bella, Jason. Gone just because Seth couldn’t handle the falling water.
In her heart, the water roared.
She turned the pages, looking for more. It sounded like life fruit somehow came from killing people, but if she could figure that out just from reading Sarah’s diary then surely Seth realized it a long time ago. He had to still be looking through this diary for something else. Some other secret.
His chair pressed in on her and she choked on the smell of him.
Tonight was the final…the final straw. The dropping shoe. The break of the camel’s back.
He is gone. I don’t know where he went and I want him back. I need him back. But he’s gone. Utterly and completely gone.
He asked…no, he demanded that I tell him how to make the Recipe. How to make ambrosia.
I will not tell him that.
Maybe he has figured out life fruit. Maybe Emma will have a murderer for a father. Maybe he’ll even take her with him.
But I will not help him. Not with that. I will not have that blood on my hands.
I don’t think he liked that.
I don’t know what to do. I’m so scared. But he’s still…I look at him and I know he’s in there somewhere and maybe if I just figure it out, figure out how to make him all better, it’ll be okay again. I still love him. I always will. I know that.
But he’s so mad now. And if he has figured out life fruit, he’ll figure out ambrosia. He will. He was always so smart.
And I can’t stand to watch him fall.
I can’t take this much longer.
This will work, I know.
Lilith heard the door creak open, and her blood froze. She couldn’t think. She couldn’t move. She could only listen. Listen to a voice that fell on her like dirt falling on a casket. A voice that breathed fire and smoke and death. A voice that filled the world and made it hard to breathe.
“My wife,” said the voice, “was a very good cook.”
Oooh, creepy! I love how you had him coming closer the entire time. I actually felt myself reading faster and faster as the pictures progressed, as if I were in danger as well, lol.

You can see it in her eyes that she’s starting to understand her father but in return, she is losing touch with the actual world, and most of all, her mother.
And speaking of her mother, she really looks good in these pictures. Her expressions come off as wild-eyed and worried about her family, although sometimes you can see faint hysteria or a little bit of insanity when she looks at everyone that she seems to be losing.
This is great, and it is definately one of my very favorite posts, because of the slowly built suspense, the cliffhanger, and the beautiful pictures. Unlike you, I hope that you get the next update out soon.

First, I can HEAR Seth’s voice deliver that last line, with the pause after the word “wife.” I hear him speak in the gravelly voice of a respectable head of household in a 1950s movie. But underneath the surface, under that deceptive cardigan, there is an edge. A stressed edge. Of controlled – barely controlled – force.
The pacing throughout is great. There’s a steady drive toward the inexorable meeting, as if the moment that Lilith and Seth should meet is inevitable.
That’s a great shot of Emma watching her father in the walled garden. No wonder Sarah was afraid of Seth’s passing his madness on to her child.

So I’ve read this story a few times, and I always come back to these parts first. “Diary” through to “Alive” are my favourite chapters. What can I say? I find Sarah very interesting. A traditional, wholesome housewife who just so happens to know the secrets of life and death –awesome. I think from her expressions that one of her traits is coward, but it takes a lot of courage to know how to live forever, and opt not to.
Over those few reads, I’ve built up a sort of head-canon about one aspect of Seth, and I thought you might be interested :P. It occurred to me while reading Seth and Lilith’s confrontation that she could just run away any time she felt like it, if she was so inclined, and he wouldn’t rush to grab or stop her. For some reason I just can’t imagine Seth running, or doing anything very quickly –in my head, he moves like he speaks; with careful deliberation.
Then a thought came to me; what if, aside from the emotional reasons why they’re both co-operating in these scenes, it could also be that Seth just CAN’T? What if the smoke from the lab fire did some sort of permanent damage to his breathing? All those chemicals floating around…
I mean, gravelly voice, never a word wasted…it seemed to fit. I remembered serial killers who make poison their weapon of choice are usually people who can’t exert themselves very much physically. Like young women, and men with heart or lung issues.
Poison is what Seth uses when he doesn’t feel like lighting fires.
So now when I read I always imagine this inner world of mental AND physical strain. Like –I don’t imagine him walking around wheezing, or anything. Just that if he ever pushes himself too far, he has to sit for awhile and recover (maybe read the diary?), and feel trapped and in pain and wanting to die. But of course he can’t die, because he’s internalized death as this very desirable and therefore very selfish thing, which is why he thinks Jason ‘abandoned’ Lilith when actually Jason was murdered. He can’t understand the difference.
