It took twelve human sacrifices to give me enough power to once again call my creatures to me, and to grant the dark oak her power.
"...that's a lot of people." She is so tempted. They could be strangers or convicted criminals... she could do it.
She looks down at her hands and thinks. Matt, Erica, Boyd, Allison, Sean, Brett and that Gabe dude. Are their lives worth more than the lives of twelve human strangers? Could she do that?
No one in this simulation will know for certain, but one of those who isn't interested in you, Mason, may know most.
Uh. "...That was quick. Um." She looks at Matt seriously. "Hey. So. This is going to maybe sound insane. Though insane in Beacon Hills is.. really relative. But. Uh."
She struggles to find the words.
"It's not okay. No. But there's a chance for me to...fix it." She stops and then continues. "If someone you cared about died and you had the chance to bring them, and a bunch of other people, back to life... would you? I mean. I'd have to maybe, possibly- probably- kill twelve other people, strangers, to do it." She looks at him. "If it were you that were dead. Would you want me to do that?"
"Okay." She takes in a deep breath and looks over at Mason, still speaking to Matt. "So. Apparently Mason might have the information I need. But also. Would he give it to me?"
Mason will tell you what you need if you do not mention the sacrifices. When the bodies were revived, there were no sacrifices. They happened prior, to strengthen me. He may not know.
"I'm not sure I know him well enough to tell. When do I die- did I die? No, that's not important. Um, try phrasing it as a question about how Nemetons work?"
"...yeah. I can make that work." She turns back to Matt. "Do you know where we could get twelve humans? Preferably ones that we don't...know- or are just bad people?"
"Thank you." She stands up. "Well. I'm off to potentially kill twelve people because the boy I like is dead and I wanna bring him back to life." Beat. "Wish me luck?"
"Good luck, Juliet."
