- THE SHADYSIDE TRASH -
FOR AS LONG AS SHADYSIDE AND SUNNYVALE existed, and even before then, the Barlowe's have existed. In the early 1600s, they were a prominent family around the area, a family that everyone loved and cherished. Well, up until Caroline Barlowe was born.
As soon as Caroline was of age, she started experimenting with just about anything she was able. Her sexual prowess brought sin into her life, making their families name sink deeper and deeper into the mud. Of course, nobody could ever do anything because there was no real proof but, everyone knew.
Then, 1666 rolled around, more particularly the era where their town was not prospering as much as the citizens would have liked. Of course, the blame went straight to the young ones, like the elder citizens had no sins underneath their belts. Hypocrites, that's the word you could use for them.
That was the beginning of the end for the Barlowe's, their name being washed through the mud from then on. Some believed that Caroline herself was mind washed by Sarah Fier, some believed she was in love with the woman, but none knew the real truth.
They were banished to Shadyside, soon becoming the lowest of the low there. Drug addicts, whores, low lives, those are just some things they were called by Sunnyvale, and some Shadysiders who believed even the Barlowe's were too trashy to live there.
In 1876, the first Barlowe serial killer emerged, Woodrow Barlowe, and yes, you heard that correctly, the first. From then on there was two more, Denise Barlowe is 1902, and Raymond Barlow in 1918. If the family had any chance of redeeming itself by the second murderer, it was surely gone by the third.
The amounts of killers, drug overdoses, and and alcoholics in the family seemed to be never ending. However, Malina Barlowe was determined to be like her mothers side of her family. She didn't want her name to define her, especially since the time she was in was supposed to be peaceful.
However, somewhere along the line, after doing so well, she managed to end up like her father's family. She was the last Barlowe left afterall, and that meant that she was going to be like them no matter how much she tried not to. Not even leaving town would solve her problems now, in fact, it would probably make things worse.
So, she was forced to cope.
It was no surprise to her when all eyes fell on her during the Camp Nightwing murders. It was even less of a surprise when the teens at camp began to figure out what was actually happening. Her whole family carried that secret with them their whole life, of course she knew that the legends of Sarah Fier were somewhat true.
By the time the 90s rolled around, nobody knew any Barlowe's existed in the area. Not even the Barlowe boy himself knew that he belonged to the family but, even Mal knew he was different. Different from the other people of Sunnyvale, different from even the people in Shadyside.
His dad taught him to be kind to everyone, his motto was always "you never know who you might need to count on". Malachi always figured that was weird, why would he need to count on anyone for anything? Why did his dad need to count on people from Shadyside?
Well, that was a mystery for another time.
