Grey Areas Final Copy

Note: This is Not Everyone's Perfect, but in Dressadia Florencia Gardens perspective.

Log One
Mara’s dangerous.

She just doesn’t know it yet.

We took her away, destroyed her past, and forced her to work for us, because she could kill everyone, and everything.

We can’t let that happen.

There’s too much at risk.

Even though we’ll be viewed as the “bad guys”, I know that we’re doing the right thing.

Until we harness her power, she’s staying here.

It’s for the best.

Entry Two
Today we gave Mara a gift.

A dagger.

She needs to be able to protect herself, when we cannot.

We gave it to her, because there was a leak.

They know we exist.

They’ll be coming to take us down.

Everyone thinks that we’re the awful people who took an innocent girl, and made her a slave.

Heh, that’s what everyone says.

But they don’t know who she really is.

If they did, everyone would praise us.

But since they are in the dark, they cannot see the light.

And they’ll learn the truth.

Someday.

Log Three
Today Mara broke the generator.

I never should've trusted her with it.

In a way this is my fault, for letting her go near it, but I couldn’t say that.

So I beat her.

I almost regret it, but It was necessary.

I know she sees this as a small mistake, but to us, this is costly.

Every setback is costly.

So we can’t afford anything like that.

I just hope that this doesn’t come back to bite me, because I’ve already been discriminated against enough.

And maybe next time I won’t let that girl handle the tech.

But she’ll be of some other use.

I know it.

Log Four
There’s something different about Mara.

I’m not sure what it is, but it can’t be good.

I informed the boss, he’ll know what to do.

But, part of it might be that I beat Mara.

I could have triggered something.

And if I did, we have a whole new problem.

A big one, that we need to solve, before it’s too late.

Log Five
The boss got back to me.

He said that we need to weaken her.

I’m not sure about it, but it could work.

It has to.

I sent out a few engineers to start working on the device.

It will be complicated, but it will also be worth it.

Otherwise, we all could be doomed.

Log Six
The device is complete.

Tomorrow, we will get Mara, and weaken her.

Then we won’t be in any danger.

Of course, there’s always the possibility that this plan fails.

A number of things could go wrong.

The machine could make her stronger, keep her the same, or even kill her.

And we can’t even test it, we just have to hope for the best.

But, anyways, project Elemental is ago.

Part Seven (In Life)
Today is the day where we use the machine.

Obviously, it’s nerve-racking, because we’re using untested technology on a powerful being.

But, it’s a big milestone, and if we are able to do it, then, we would be safe.

Finally safe.

I headed to Mara’s room, to get her.

I was ready.

I was just outside the door, when I heard a scream.

Mara

I called more soldiers, and pushed open the door.

And when I saw her, I saw her dagger, in her chest.

“Mara!” I yelled. “What have you done!”

She had a faint smile on her face.

“I set myself free.” she said. Then she closed her eyes, and fell to the ground.

Log Seven
I can’t believe she’s gone.

She killed herself, to get away from us.

What have we done?

What have I done?

When I picked up her body, I swear I shed a few tears.

It’s just, insane.

I now see why everyone sees us as the bad guys.

We freaking drove a girl into so much misery and pain that she killed herself, for god’s sake!

This leaves me with so much doubt.

We have no idea what to do next.

We might not even make it to see what's next.

We were fighting for the right cause, but we did it in a bad way.

And, I guess that leaves us in a grey area.

Because not everything is black and white.
