Lacey (ENGLISH versions)

dinner and magnolia

Sitting at the dinner table in this sinister and gloomy house, I witness a scene that is both disturbing and familiar. A stranger, bound and captive, is there, seemingly at the mercy of our strange family.

I am also at this table, surrounded by the taciturn patriarch, the ominous brothers, and the woman, the poor soul who has fallen into our hands. In the oppressive darkness of the room, silence weighs heavily, only broken by the clinking of utensils and the flickering of shadows dancing on the walls.

My gaze shifts from one member of our family to another, detecting in their expressions something primitive and unsettling. The patriarch, with his inscrutable air, seems to lead this macabre dance, while my brothers exchange knowing glances, as if sharing a sinister secret.

I feel a strange duality within me, torn between discomfort and a sense of loyalty to my family. The woman, bound and vulnerable, embodies our power over her, but also the fragility of our own existence in this dark and unforgiving world.

As the meal progresses, I am filled with a mixture of terror and guilt. We are all bound by blood, but in this house, blood seems to have a bitter taste, laden with secrets and unspeakable suffering. And as we share this macabre meal, I feel that we are all prisoners of our own destiny, condemned to wander in darkness for eternity.

The next morning, as I prepare to leave, still troubled by the events of last night, I am surprised to find Magnolia standing outside the house. Her radiant smile and shining eyes brighten the dawning day, contrasting with the dark atmosphere surrounding us.

"Magnolia!" I exclaim, surprised to see her here. "What are you doing here?"

She gives me a mischievous look, shaking her head slightly as if to dispel the dark thoughts that assail me. "I just came to say hello, Lacey," she replies in a gentle voice. "I thought you might need some company after last night."

I smile shyly, touched by her thoughtfulness. "That's kind of you, Magnolia. Really."

She approaches me, her gaze full of tenderness. "Listen, Lacey, I know things are complicated for you right now, but know that I'm here for you. No matter what happens."

I feel a surge of warmth engulfing me, grateful to have such a genuine friend by my side. "Thank you, Magnolia. It's comforting to know that I can count on you."

We stand there for a moment, exchanging knowing smiles and reassuring words. Despite the challenges ahead of me, I know that as long as I have Magnolia by my side, I can overcome anything.

Magnolia pushes the door open, revealing the horror hidden inside. A dark room, lit only by the dim glow of a flickering bulb, stretches out before us. Human bones litter the floor, a cage containing a chicken suspended from the ceiling adding to the sinister atmosphere.

My stomach churns, a suppressed scream of horror rising in my throat. But as I try to mask my terror, I feel that Magnolia, by my side, lets out a horrified cry.

I realize that Magnolia has just discovered the truth about my family. I am Sawyer, and this macabre scene confirms the terrifying rumors she had always refused to believe. The oppressive silence that follows is broken only by the sound of our labored breathing, as the brutal reality of the situation overwhelms both of us.

Standing in the hallway, her usual smile replaced by an expression of confusion and terror as Drayton drags her into the main room.

I follow them in silence, my footsteps echoing in the oppressive silence of the house. Bubba is already waiting, his grotesque mask hiding his intentions behind an expressionless facade.

I stand frozen in place, powerless, as Drayton ties Magnolia to a chair made of human bones. Horror washes over me as I realize what is about to happen.

The other Sawyer brothers gather around us, captivated by the discovery that Magnolia is my crush. Their greedy gazes pierce through me, leaving me with a sense of helplessness in the situation.

I watch in horror as Magnolia is subjected to cruel trials, designed to test her loyalty to us. Each passing moment fills me with disgust as I am forced to participate in these macabre rituals, my own brothers orchestrating this horror.

Magnolia, distraught and terrified, slowly succumbs to the madness that surrounds her. I can only watch with suffocating guilt as she loses her sanity, descending into the darkness of our twisted world.

In this whirlwind of chaos and despair, I feel my own mind breaking, a helpless witness to Magnolia's descent into madness. And in the pain of this realization, I understand that we are all doomed to our fate, bound by blood and by the darkness that inhabits our souls.

The weight of guilt crushes me as I witness this descent into hell. Every trial inflicted upon Magnolia feels like a stab to the heart, cruelly reminding me of the fragility of our humanity. The pounding of my heart resonates in my temples, a jagged rhythm accompanying the macabre scene unfolding before me.

My brothers, once so close to me, transform into monsters before my eyes. Their sadistic smiles and greedy stares betray an unsuspected cruelty, revealing the abyss of darkness that dwells within their souls. Drayton, usually so austere, seems to relish the terror in Magnolia's eyes. Bubba, behind his leather mask, is nothing but a menacing silhouette, ready to execute his brother's orders without a shred of remorse.

I am petrified, torn between the desire to flee this madness and the impossibility of abandoning my family. Every fiber of my being screams to protest, to end this unspeakable horror. But I remain there, motionless, the invisible chains of blood and destiny holding me prisoner.

Magnolia's tormented face haunts me as she slowly succumbs to madness. Her piercing cries echo in the stifling air, an echo of her suffering that resonates in my tormented soul. I feel a deep disgust towards myself, a nausea rising inexorably from within me, as I realize my own complicity in this descent into hell.

In a desperate surge, I wonder if we are doomed to endlessly repeat these horrors, trapped in a cycle of darkness from which we can never escape. My mind teeters on the edge of the abyss, torn between loyalty to my family and the urgent need for redemption. And
