Chapter 8: Revelations
i sat on the long table as i waited for the others to return. Most people were in classes right now so the great hall was empty. i leaned my head back to admire the sky in the ceiling, but just then i heard sara speak up:
"Stop this! I'm not your enemy!"
Surprised, i looked down, and sure enough, she had managed to wiggle out of her gag. Before i could retie it, she continued, "Cedric is tricking you; he can control anyone he's had sex with!"
"And what makes you think i'll believe that?"
"You don't just fall in love with someone who rapes you, Maria! And we even killed the very police force that you yourself called!"
"You helped!"
But even as i said that, i couldn't help but admit she had a point regardless.
"You do realize you're a Mary Sue, right? You have a natural ability to get people to go along with your plans; that's why he wanted you! The only reason I noticed something was wrong myself was because I'm a based on a real person and thus somewhat resistant."
"...When you asked if what we did was right at the celebration..."
"Exactly! After that I did some investigating and found out about his power. He's been using it to create his own harem for years now. When you came along he could tell you were a Mary Sue because he was attracted to you despite you being female. As a Mary Sue things naturally conform to your will, so he knew that by controlling your will this ability would work for him!"
"Uh, wow. This is a lot to take in." It really was; i wanted to say sara was just spouting lies and my beloved Cedric was innocent, but all of what she said made sense. i didn't know what to think.
"Yes, but you have to believe me! As soon as I learned all this I had to tell Draco, but I was too late; Cedric was already raping him! So please, let me go! We have to-"
Just then Cedric's voice came in through the open doorway, "That's enough of your lies! Maria, kill her!"
To my own surprise and horror, i lifted my wand and pointed it at sara...
