[Folwren]

I think I've said so before, but I always thought that Durelin was innocent. Why did they choose her? I know why they left me alive...ha. The villagers will do that job this evening, unless I can change people's minds. But why Durelin? Why not Kath, or Cailin, who both talk twice as much as Durelin?

As for me...saved one day to likely only be killed the next.

I am glad that my post made you believe me yesterday, but I am horror struck that it only got the ranger killed. I had no idea whatsoever that Wayne was the ranger...I thought Kath was. That’s why I thought that she would be dangerous to have killed. I did say that it would be a very bad idea to kill her. I did! I truly, honestly thought that she was the ranger. And I seriously believed that Wayne was a wolf - particularly after he jumped onto what appeared to be my bandwagon. (I’m astonished that I wasn’t hanged last night.)

And to explain my absence - Our computer crashed yesterday afternoon. I wasn’t on any time after my post of defense. My dad managed to get it up and running again sometimes after eight, but by then, I figured my time was up, and my body lying cold in the ground. Really, if you think about it, I had little or no reason to get on anyway, because I didn’t think that my desperate begging (or reasoning) would get anyone to change their minds.

Now I see it would have been better if I hadn’t gotten anyone to change their minds. Actually, if I had been killed last night, the same thing would have happened - I would have been killed, everyone would look at Wayne, and today he would have (probably) been killed. Instead, it’s turned around - Wayne was killed and today (unless I can change your minds again), I’ll (probably) be killed, too.

Here’s why not to do it:

Because my post from yesterday still stands true. Evidently, Kath thinks I’m good at defending myself. That’s awesome. It still stands, that post.

I didn’t know that Wayne was innocent. No one knew, except the wolves. And no one knew that he was the ranger.

If you kill me today, you will have killed an innocent, and the game will be over - finished by the villager’s own hands - with the wolves winning. We haven’t killed a single wolf, do you realize that? There are seven people left - four villagers, three wolves. We kill a villager today, the wolves win. If you kill me, it will be killing a villager. I can’t make you believe that by saying anything more than what I’ve already said. Reread the post from yesterday. I meant every single word of that first paragraph. (Including the one about the Bible, Cailin.)

Why to do it:

Because you all doubt my sincerity now. You’ll doubt everything I say because I said that I believed Wayne to be guilty. I pressed for Azaelia’s death, and I ultimately got her killed, too. I pushed for Alcarillo’s death, and he was killed that night. You’ll doubt me because every person I’ve accused and gotten killed thus far has been innocent. They’re good reasons to doubt me, I know, and I won’t argue with that. I can’t prove to you that I didn’t know that everyone I accused (who got killed) was innocent. I can hardly even hope that you’ll believe now, but you have to, because if you don’t, then I’ll die, and the village will, too.

But consider...consider very carefully, everyone. I wasn’t the one who got Wayne killed. I suspected him, to be sure, but I didn’t argue for his death. I said in one post that I suspected him and why I did, and in my other post, I said that I still did suspect him. I didn’t say, lynch Wayne. I said I suspected him.

And if people blame me for jumping immediately to my defence, then so what to them? I go by instinct. It's human instinct to live. And it's my instinct to argue in my defence, or someone else's defence if need be. It's also by instinct that I feel threatened...consider my near death yesterday and the threat to be lynched today if Wayne turned out to be guilty.
