Dearest Kjarr, As the one most likely to read these letters (even though you said you wouldn't), and the one who shares my soul, it makes the most sense to write to you. My darling, I am not Muninn or Prisca, or the Princess - I am no prophet, but I see. I have watched … Continue reading You

Elise, I'm not sure why I continue to write these letters to you. I get to see you now, hold you, speak with you, mother you, in my own way. It pains me - it hurts that you knew I was gone and you knew why. I thought...I thought I would feel relief and calm … Continue reading Needing
Trust
Elise, I feel awful. He’s leaving France. I don’t know when He’ll be back, but He’s leaving. The coterie hates Him so much. I could understand if they disliked Him for being incompetent, or thought Him a fool, or even if they hated Him for taking me from you, but Elise, we know there was … Continue reading Trust
Reality
Elise, I finally understand. Not everything, I couldn't - can't - not yet - not now. I can't understand everything, but... I understand why I'm here. I understand what I am. Sort of. And I was right. Ma chérie, I am here to protect you. They made me... They watched as I was made. They … Continue reading Reality

My darling, Je suis désolé. Maman is getting desperate now. Je suis désolé. I am starting to learn, ma chérie, why Kjarr keeps me from you. Je suis désolé. I don't know if it is safe to explain what happened, even in letter form. I can't imagine what our aged and lined friend would do … Continue reading Monsters
I am Lost.
Elise, my darling, I have been placed with a coterie. A powerful coterie. One who are supposed to watch over me and I over them. I do not live with Oliver anymore. Now it is only Terrence and me. And whatever devices and people Kjarr has watching me. I...do not see them. And I do … Continue reading I am Lost.
They are watching you
Elise, Une petite jeune fille, a little girl, came into the parlour today. It was already a strange day...a lot of Malkavians wanting tattoos...variations on a theme. I do not think I've ever seen so many Malks. And then... It quietened down and there was a girl looking in the window. At 2.53am. A little … Continue reading They are watching you
Trying something new
Elise, This is stupide. You're never going to see this letter - I'm never going to send it to you, but the school counsellor did say that writing letters to loved ones was a bonne idée even if I'd never send it. So I will try. I am afraid for you, ma petite belle chérie. … Continue reading Trying something new

Bonjour ma chérie, Today is your birthday. Six years old, Elise. I remember holding you in my arms, a tiny baby, and dreaming of the conversations we would have, ma chérie. The conversations we would have when you were old enough to have questions and understand the importance of some of the answers. I dreamed … Continue reading Six
