[She's sending the video before she can think, each of the memories blending into one another a little overwhelmingly, there's a wide-eyed look for horror on her face.]
I definitely got some less pleasant memories of your's - my god was that...Kate woman really your ex?
[She's not going to ask it, at least at first, but before she can help herself, Sally finds herself blurting the question.]
Why the hell was she so terrible to you - and creepy? What the hell was wrong with her?
Yeah, that would be the one that killed my family. I thought things were different; I thought she meant it when she said she cared and wanted to fix the rift between our families. I was a stupid kid and I paid for it.
We're werewolves, she's a werewolf hunter and a psychopath is what's wrong with her.
[Sally shakes her head - seeing his ex in action she's almost positive that he had the worst end of the stick - her torment didn't go on, didn't come back, the way that Derek's did.]
God, Derek - you were so freaking sympathetic when you saw Danny, but you've been through that... she's a heinous bitch, and she took advantage of the fact that you're a good guy, that you obviously were even back when you were a kid.
And I'm not even going to get started on that...
[She's so upset on his behalf, and she doesn't even know him that well save for when they'd talked on the anonymous posts, which he doesn't even know it was her.]
I'm sorry. I know I have no clue what's going on, and I don't even know you that well, but....what a bitch.
[ Derek was a different person as a teenager than he was when he met Scott McCall. He was a lot more like Scott than probably anyone in McCall's pack realized, but Kate had taken that away from him. Losing Paige had put a crack in the wall and Kate had torn the whole fucking thing down around him, leaving him in the rubble. ]
I find it's not really worth it to compare battle wounds to see whose are the deepest and I don't know exactly what you saw, but... I told you, I kind of know what you'd gone through with that asshole.
I know - you did, and you're right - it's just...seeing even a fraction of what you went through... her and some goons barging in, being chained and taunted and basically assaulted, and I - I think she shot you too.
[Sally shakes her head.]
You deserved way better than that, nobody deserves that, let alone someone great like you. It pisses me off for you - even though I know it isn't great to have someone get the memory of your trauma....
Oh, she definitely shot me. I mean, well. I don't know exactly what all you saw but given that she's shot me multiple times, chances are you're not wrong. It just takes a little more than a trigger happy bitch with the wrong kind of bullets to take me down.
[ Which is big talk considering one of the times she'd shot him, it had been with an arrow laced with wolfsbane, so...she'd nearly killed him. ]
I mean, I could've done without people seeing it, especially my sister. But it is what it is. With Kate, I made that bed. That was on me for not seeing through her or trusting my instincts more when it felt like the wrong thing to believe her. All I can do is learn and grow and...be more careful letting myself get attracted to women I don't know very well. So far, I'm 3 for 3 on being sorely disappointed when I just go with it.
[There's a snarl that Laura doesn't actually mean to capture, but she's pissed.]
God, I fucking hate Kate Argent - it's not bad enough that she tormented you when you were still a child -
[Laura cuts herself off and takes a breath.]
I saw, she continued to torment you...
[There's an underlying growl to her voice, and she's definitely angry; if there's one eprson that she hates...it's Kate Argent, honestly. And having thre reminder only sparks that reminder.]
She wouldn't if I ever got sent back long enough to take care of her.
[The anger behind that statement is apparent, and Laura, even though she's not a particularly vengeful person, means that with every fiber of her being.
Still, gritting her teeth she forces herself to take a breath.]
A shitty montage of your psycho ex-rapist tormenting you - bringing hunters to grab you, putting you in chains, coming back from the fucking dead, shooting you....
She's not even human anymore, Laura, you'd have your work cut out for you. It's not worth it. I just try not to think about her. I thought we were finally rid of her when Peter slashed her throat, but instead, he accidentally turned her. Because of course he fucking did.
[ Derek, on the other hand, just sounds tired. ]
Great. Just what I wanted people here to see: my amazing judgment of character and impeccable taste in women.
[Laura sucks in a breath, trying to taper her anger off because she knows it's not helping anything. Laura doesn't know if he could take Kate or not, but damn would she try. The hypocrit letting herself live after the hell she put them all through for what they were...
She is going to try and shake it off.]
I don't usually think about her, but of course it's another fallout from Peter. Of course.
[Laura huffs.]
Don't, Dere - she knew what she was doing. It has nothing to do with your taste and everything to do with her being a manipulative pycho who preyed on you.
[ She's not her aunt. Allison has told herself that so many times, for so many years, but there are days when it would get harder to believe than others.
When she gets hit with flashes of memories, Allison feels nauseous. Partly from guilt, but then when she realizes that Kate is...
Oh god. ]
...I'm sorry, Derek.
[ She's not her aunt, but Allison feels compelled to say it, anyway. ]
I don't know what you're sorry about. You didn't kill my family or spend the last decade trying to kill me. You can't be sorry for someone else's actions, you know? It's not your fault. I'm assuming you're seeing stuff about Kate, since that's what I heard from a couple of other people.
It was and you did, but your father took on your code. And you created it. You were the best of the Argents, Allison, and I'm not just saying that because you died. You made them better. You don't need to apologize for anything.

Right? Shocker, I know.

And I knew better than to trust an Argent back then, but I did it anyway because I thought a pretty older girl liked me. What a fucking waste.
