episode eight.

—It is around this time that I would like to say that the timeline makes no sense. I've been through the chapters, I've been through the episodes, I've been through the wikia, I've looked up timelines for the show, annnd, I've got nothing. I'm sorry, but please, just bear with me here. According to things I've read, early September is when Tate rapes Vivien, and six months later, in March, is when she has the baby, because she mentions that she's only six months pregnant. Now, that's not possible, if at the six month mark, in episode 8, Vivien is just being sent to the asylum. She's supposed to be in the asylum for several months. So, I don't think it's my timeline that is necessarily messed up, but the show in general. I'm not saying it's definitely not my fault, because it may very well be, but, like, I'm just saying. Bear with me, please. Facts and things are gonna get dicey over these last few chapters, lol. Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed it thus far.<3—

It had officially been six months since the Harmon's had moved into the house, and the women, excluding Violet, were sitting in the kitchen. Marcy and Moira were there, and Vivien was holding a picture of the Montgomery's, talking to Marcy about how the woman had been in the house. Moira and Rosaline shared a glance, but said nothing as Marcy told some story about her pregnant cousin's hallucinations.

"There are things in this world that can't be explained by the rational mind." Moira cut in.

"I'd love to spend the day debating the supernatural, but I've got to pop by Mr. Escandarian's office. He's not answering my calls, and if we don't open escrow, you're gonna have a bigger problem than your little ghost story. Or do we think he's a ghost too?" Marcy mocked before leaving the house.

"I, for one, believe in things unseen." Moira began, walking over to where Vivien and Rosaline were sitting at the island. In return, Rosaline turned her head to the older woman, narrowing her eyes. "Who knows, Mrs. Harmon? We're all just lost souls, aren't we?"

"Maybe I am going crazy." Vivien said, putting a hand to her forehead and sighing.

It was that afternoon that Rosaline and Violet were in the basement, rolling a ball back and forth while Rose tried to softly coax Beau out of hiding.

"You wanna play? Come on, she won't hurt you." Rose said softly as Violet rolled the ball into the darkness.

"Who are you talkin' to?" Ben suddenly asked from halfway up the stairs leading to the basement, making both of the girls jump slightly. Standing up, they looked at their father.

"No one." Violet answered.

"Come upstairs. There's something we need to discuss." Ben said, glancing over towards where they had rolled the ball.

"A discussion, oh shit." Violet said, walking up the stairs with Rose.

Now standing outside of their father's office, Rosaline was listening as Ben asked Violet why she hadn't been to school for the past two weeks.

"I don't like it. It's boring and they bully me." Violet answered plainly.

"What does that mean?" Ben questioned.

"That is so you. Some kids say they're bullied and their parents just pull them right out. You ask me to define bullying. But you don't even send Rosaline to school!" Violet yelled.

"You know we couldn't send her to school with the state she was in, Violet, we've had this discussion... Have you told your mom about this?" Their father asked after sighing.

Violet chuckled. "How is it that a big, fancy shrink hasn't noticed that his wife has totally lost her shit?"

"Violet, look at me." Ben said, waiting for his daughter to look at him. "Look at me." He stated again. "What's going on with her?"
