... is not always what we expect, is it?

You know, I got happy here, where I am. I thought I couldn't after Lestat and Louis died, and of course it's not the same and I still miss them, but... I can't say I don't have a family. I can't say us killjoys aren't all family, right?

And I was cool with that, I really was. The only thing that was still hunting me - and that's happening since I was five and Lestat told me they had found me alone after the Fires - was to know who my real parents were.

It shouldn't matter. But it does. And it's only natural that I'd talk about those things with my best friend, right? And my best friend here on the zones is Amadeo.

Well, he did more than just listen to me moaning. He... found them. With his vampire abilities and stuff.

I have to admit I always hoped that my parents would be brave killjoys, and if they were still alive, they'd be the kind that would tell me all kind of heroic things they had done in the past years...

I never thought the exact opposite could happen.

*sighs* Both of my parents are - or were, whatever - from BL/ind. I... this is just not right.

Scarlet, Silver. I think you should tell people what you told me. How this happened, how I happened.

I have to... I have to think.

Claudia... out.

Ok, some of you will probably get mad or worried with this, but just hold on and let me tell everything.

How do I begin... *sighs* Slender Man showed up to me.

But before anyone goes crazy over it... notice that I'm still alive and well. He didn't touch me.

Actually, he talked to me. I mean, wrote, he can't talk, since he has no mouth. But he wrote, and I can show the notebook to anyone who's interested in seeing it, it's in my room.

He said you people are trying to kill him... he mentioned one name. Dean. And he also said he didn't mean to hurt anyone! He doesn't want people to fear him, he just... he just wants to be understood.

Guys, please. Stop hunting him or whatever you're doing. Stop hating something you don't understand.

I promised him I'd make you listen to me. And again, if anyone wants to see the notebook, just talk to me and I'll show it. *smiles* I can show the flower he brought me too. It's really pretty.

Slender, if you're hearing this, don't forget your promise, ok? And be patient with everyone. They will accept you one day... I know they will...

He said you all don't have faith in good. Please prove him wrong.

Out.

Hey guys!

So, things have been working out pretty well for me... actually a lot better than I thought. Sam, or Poison Kiss, has offered me a place to stay and now I'm living with her and her kids. There's also a few people coming in and out everyday, and I've met some cool ones already.

Went for a walk today and thought about some things... I know it's early, really early, but I can't help but thinking what do I do now. I mean, do I just keep on going day after day, or should I have a goal? I never thought about that before, but after being alone in the zones for weeks you start thinking about your future.

God, I feel so old.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who worried about me since I showed up and especially to Sam for being such a good... mom. She's the best.

This is all making me be sure of what I am... a killjoy.

See you soon!

Err, hello? Anybody there?

Well, if there's not, why should I be ashamed of talking to nobody, right? So, my name is Claudia, I'm here on zone 4, near this old gas station or whatever this is... and I just found a dead Draculoid.

It's not that I usually mess around with corpses, okay? But this guy had this transmitter and I thought it could be useful. I've run out of food completely and I'm really thirsty, so... if anyone could give me some help, I'd appreciate it. A lot.

Aaaand... I don't know how to end this, so yeah.
