A/N: This chapter is pretty short, but I have two more to upload tonight...er, this morning? Sorry for any grammatical errors, it's very late/early. Please let me know if you catch any errors.
You and I, we were born to die
"Please, Tate, please. I don't want to die."
"It's too late for that Violet."
When she took all those pills, she though she did want to die. But she changed her mind when she found out that the forever she thought she'd committed to wasn't nothingness, but a living death. Able to think and feel and die (again); the Murder House is merely a continuation of life.
Forever had seemed so easy when it was an escape. Now she knows it is hell. Stretched out before her, an eternity stuck in this damned house. A house chock full of spirits, both malicious and benign. The cast is colorful, she'll admit, but it includes her parents, her dead infant sibling and her...and Tate.
Her sweet, loving ( albeit dark) Tate, who turned out to be none of those things. He's beyond being consumed by darkness. He is the darkness. He loves her, she does not doubt that. And she loves him, no matter how she denies it. But he is a murderer, a rapist...a monster. She doesn't regret sending him away, but that's probably because the last few days haven't quite sunk in yet. She's only been dead - well, only known she's dead for a few days. She's still coming to terms with that, discovering the rules of the house, the things she can and can't do. And then there's all the other to get to know.
There's sweet, mislead Nora who just wants a second chance at being a mother. Moira, who is tired of being dead. Hayden, who doesn't appear to have been changed much by death. Beau, who is shy and quiet but definitely the friendliest of them all. Thaddeus, who stays in the shadows and leaves her alone now that she's dead. Constance's lover Travis, the two girls in nurses uniforms, Nora's creepy husband...there's so many of them.
So, no, she doesn't regret sending Tate away, but she also knows its a question of when not if her will breaks and she calls him back.
