Innocence is not a term often associated with me, Jason Rosser. No, normally people seem to believe that I can only be associated with evil, that I cannot have been 'set up' or tricked. Nobody believes me.
They only seem hell bent on me being evil.
I didn't kill Stinky Doug; why would I? Ever since I came out of prison – which I only went to because I went to the cops to get them to save Claire, which they didn't – I have been trying to get back into the normal swing of life, to be the boy I could have been if I didn't fall off the beaten path and wander aimlessly in the woods alone.
I was loitering outside of the dorm hall, but I didn't do anything! It was all that Mr Bishop – he killed Doug and got the vampire blood back, not me. I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and got caught there by the cops. That sucked.
The detectives Hess and Lowe got me, and they've always had a hatred for me because of everything that went on with Eve. Of course they took her side on the matter, but I'm not disputing that right now. No, they just dragged me off to the police station, putting me in one of the holding cells until it was decided whether or not Amelie wanted me.
Which she did. Of course. Admittedly, I did stake her before, at the Feast, but that was because everything was weighed up for me and I decided I stood a better chance of survival with Bishop. But when I got into this entire Bite Club business and found out that he was involved (I thought she had destroyed him!), I got away as quickly as possible.
But I got brought to these disgusting vampire cells, which are so strong that vampires can't even get out, and refused to talk. No matter what I said, I knew I wouldn't be listened to. No matter what I would say, I wouldn't be believed and if I talked, well, I would be facing the death penalty so much faster than if I stayed quiet.
Nobody believes in my innocence… Amelie hates me and wants me dead, as does every other vampire and probably Eve as well… only one person has came here and told me that they believe me, that they will fight to get me released: Claire.
She believes me that I didn't do it: even though I never explicitly said anything to do with Bishop, for fear, she believed me that I didn't kill Doug. I know I didn't… but it's good to know someone else does.
Whether Amelie will release me, who knows? She probably would be happy to execute me without a qualm, not losing one wink of the sleep I know she doesn't need. But I am innocent.
It's not often that I can say I am definitely innocent, but this is one of those few times. I am the one who is being used as a scapegoat for this, the one who is being charged because Amelie doesn't want it getting out that she didn't kill Bishop and he escaped her.
Innocence is a virtue and I have it this time. But nobody believes me…
I own nothing
