Guardian said the last line and sighed. She was exhausted, mentally, and physically.
There was a strange silence.
'So... um... you've finished.' Alicorn said.
Guardian glared at Alex. 'You blabbed to everyone what I was doing?'
'Well, yeah.'
Guardian kicked her brother and picked up her dark-haired, serious baby.
'You wouldn't blab, would you, sweetling?' she cooed.
_No, because I already know what you're saying._
_You've got a mean streak._
_Yes. I wonder who I got that off?_
Silverdragon whacked the Guardian lightly on her face. 'Are you going to be
okay now? Seeing you sit in the chat for days, looking stupid was so-'
'Days?' Guardian blanched. 'Oopsie.'
'Damn right it was an 'oopsie',' Chee remarked from the computer. 'I was going to take you to the morgue. You just stood there like a dead weight.'
Guardian whacked the Chee's face and they began bickering.
'It does your heart good to hear them scream,' Tygress sighed.
'I agree fully,' said CobraGirl.
Alex, however, was busy listening to the recording. His face went white as words went off in his mind. He whirled around to face his sister.
'What, Sexy Lexy?' Guardian said calmly. This is it, she thought. He's going to call me a murderer, or a... oh, no, I don't-
Alex's face was red. 'Tobias is your COUSIN?!'
Guardian sighed in relief. 'Yeah.'
Cries of, 'Hick!' and 'What?!' and 'Redneck!' echoed through the chat for more than an hour.

I smile slightly and flick the switch.
It's been a few days since Carter Aximili Miene died. It's been a few days since she finished this story.
The last line scared me. As if Mother knew she was going to die, knew she wouldn't see another sunset, would die in the next morning.
My name is Katherine Marie Miene. Hi, pleased to meet you. I'm the ilegitimate daughter of Guardian and - well, shit, he doesn't give a damn. Why name him? Anyway, I'm the Queen Bitch around here, and the dominant Guardian. My mother's 'friends' - my godparents, most of them - already know that if they mess with me, they burn. My mother's murderers - who were also her 'friends', sweet mother give me strength, and sit by me as I write this. One slanged her name a few hours after she died.
They're missing an arm now. I wasn't allowed to do worse.
I am not my mother. I am unforgiving.
I don't really know why I'm writing this. Finishing up, I guess. My mother had an.... interesting.... life. I guess she enjoyed it. She always laughed a lot. I wish I was more like her.
Thus ends the life of Carter. She lived. That's what counts. One thing I have done to this recording is taken out her fall from grace by Ax. I couldn't bear that. Her name in the world would be slandered, and her murderers - Why do they still LIVE, why does nobody care that my sweet Carter is dead and that her soul is gone, not even Father, screw him - will sneer and laugh at me. Then I shall kill them, and be turned off this world. I don't want that. Mother wouldn't want that.

I loved you, Mother. May death give you the peace you were never granted on this world. May death grant you the love you were denied on this world. I know you'll meet your one true love each night in the trysting place of your dreams.
Sleep well.
