There's something to be said about people who decide to come clean about what secrets they may be keeping. As for me, my reasons are similar to others. I've always tried to be straightforward, but like many of us, this is the first time I'm surrounded by people I don't know.

All the more reason to be honest, right? For now, this is our home, and we need to learn to trust one another. If I'm going to make a life for myself here, then I need to start off by not keeping secrets.

I was born as a werewolf. I know that sounds strange, I'm familiar with lore and it's typically not passed down genetically, but for my family it was. My grandmother was scratched, and it was passed down to my mother and then to me. Some of you may be familiar with story of Little Red Riding Hood? That's me. Sort of. I mean my life was very different from the children's tale.

I can promise you all that you have nothing to fear from me. When I said my story wasn't like most lore, it's true. I'm not bound by the moon, well I sort of am. I can change whenever I want, but get the strong desire to do so when there is a full moon. I'm also completely human in my mind when I am a wolf. I was taught how to control myself.

So there you have it. I know it's a lot to take in, especially with others coming out with their secrets as well, but it's honestly better this way. I know from experience that keeping secrets does more harm than good.

Now I really need an alcoholic drink.

It might be for some people. It isn't for me. But let's say it is. Shouldn't you come clean, and stop railing on someone who has and is willing to do something to reassure people who believe she's a monster without getting to know her? It kind of sucks that you're going after her when no one knows what you're doing.

I don't have to disclose what I am. No one said that was a prerequisite for living here.

No, you don't, that's true. But it's hypocritical of you to jump on her when no one knows what you're doing. We should accuse you of not telling us the truth too, but we're not, are we?

No, it's reasonable for me to express concern about a situation with which I'm intimately acquainted. Neville had every right to say what he did, and I came to his defence.

Ruby chose to come forward. She expected and received a negative reaction, and considering what I've dealt with, the request to be locked up for an evening is mild. The hand-wringing about Ruby being "guilty until proven innocent" is absurd.

Then it'd be reasonable of me to say that I don't trust you have everything in hand until I see it for myself. It'd be reasonable for no one here to believe you until they all see it for themselves.

I haven't assumed you're guilty just because you got a shitty lot in life. She hasn't done anything wrong to be considered a monster, and her world isn't yours, so the same rules don't even apply. I mean, no one's born like that in your world, right? So why are we assuming she has? Just because she was born a certain way? Because you got attacked? Because I did? That means we're all evil people who can't be trusted?

I never asked you to trust me, because you don't know me. And up until a few minutes ago, I hadn't the faintest idea that you had any kind of knowledge of my personal life. It's not information I gave you, and it's not your right to have it or to throw it back at me.

You can control yourself. She can control herself. No one's been bitten by a vampire. It seems, then, that the only monster here is me.

This conversation is over.

No, I don't know you. But even if I didn't know anything, I'd be in a position where I'm forced to trust each other at face value without the full story. You trusted me before I said anything, right? You didn't think I was a danger even though I could be?

I don't think you are. She might not be, but I know I am.

Yeah. I can't blame you for that. I don't think I would in your shoes either.

I don't always trust myself. I've been living basically in constant fear since it happened.

Yeah. I didn't understand it, and I didn't want to hurt anyone. I broke up with my fiancé so he couldn't get hurt.

I won't tell anyone about you, for the record. It's not my place.

You only know of one way for it to go, and it's awful. I'm not going to take anything out on you for that. I guess my thing is just that I don't want anyone to condemn me for what happened to me, so I don't want to do that to someone else. Even though sometimes it's really hard not to.

I'll have to drop Ruby a note.

Tell her it's not personal.

If that's what you want to do. I think she'd understand where you're coming from, at least way better than someone totally normal. You got dealt a terrible hand in life. That's not your fault any more than this zombie thing is mine.

No, I know that. I'm just saying I don't think she's offended or anything.

I don't know. It's been a long night. I'm usually snappish the week before the moon.
