The fiancè should live with Nathan's sister. I mean, that's how engaged couples usually are.

I've always thought that Eriko was killed an outsider that knows of their secret meetings and such killed Eriko to get revenge

We can end it with an epilogue that explains everything like a new article of some sort since we started with one, it might be a good idea to end it with one.

Yeah, Nathan's sister's fiancé lives with Nathan's sister. That's why she's kicking Nathan out because she can't really have sexytimes with her bother hanging around like a bum. Kind of a mood killer. That sounds like a kickass chapter though because then Nathan is going to get suspicious as hell if that's the case.

I like the idea of her being killed off, I have no idea why. I had figured that was what had happened.

I agree with the one round of chapters, definitely. It kinda brings all of the action together and ties everything up. And I definitely agree with another article for the last chapter, because that could be done with us pointing out who was killed / whatever and also allows us to tie up any loose ends that we couldn't tie up during the final chapters.

@ nearly witches.

I figured she'd been killed off too. But there's no outsider? Wasn't it just Edwin now?? So he killed her?

So Edwin's going to turn up hoping for the fiancé but getting Nathan and he just babbles because confrontation is so not his thing. It will be great!

Is this going to be our last round before everything goes down, or are we finishing this round, having another and then finally getting to the round where everything goes down? Ooh, the same article author can write the epilogue too! Comes full circle then!

@ Alicia Alarcon
@ nearly witches.
I forgot that the vigilante is one of them it's Edwin who killed Eriko?

I think to be more suspicious, Edwin should slip up and Nathan's going to consult someone (maybe maybe). In the end, I'm envisioning it as Veronica vs everyone else (maybe maybe).

We can build up the drama in this round and then in the next, we can start killing them off.

@ gotta be you
Yeah.

Edwin will be bumbly and probably make no sense as to why he's turned up at Nathan's place, so he's likely to be suspicious. I'm thinking we need to confirm who's dying, who's getting arrested and who's going to end up scott-free by the end.

That sounds good, yeah.

@ Alicia Alarcon
@ nearly witches.

I really think Eiko's going to be killed (by Veronica). Edwin's going to be killed; Veronica will be arrested. Nathan and Rae will go scott-free?

@ gotta be you
Ooh, Veronica can get behind killing Eiko. That should be in Eiko's last chapter. And should Nathan and Rae both go scott-free? All I know is that if Veronica gets arrested, she will drag every single one of them down with her.

@ Alicia Alarcon
@ nearly witches.

I don't know what can happen with Nathan and Rae but I'm 100% sure with Edwin and Eiko dying and Veronica arrested can't we drag Greg in the mess?

@ gotta be you
I always wanted Veronica to kill Edwin, as it's sort of symbolic. But I'll let that go if need be (albeit painfully). And Ian's that type of guy would lie to keep Veronica from jail, so although she might get arrested, he would so give her alibis for anything that they have no concrete proof for. Greg is definitely not getting dragged into the mess - his next chapter will be his preparations for fleeing with his daughter. Her and her mother mean more than the revenge does.

@ Alicia Alarcon
Hmm. We can still have Veronica kill Edwin. Like she can order him to bring Eiko to her (which he does to get in her good graces maybe) and then Veronica can suffer from a breakdown of something or Edwin slips that he killed Eriko then she gets so mad that she kills both of them

@ gotta be you
Mhm...Veronica would kill Edwin just for betraying the group. As he's the one who alerted the police to Ian being a target, and attempted to let Nathan's sister's fiance know, that's pretty much his death warrant in her eyes. From the moment they first joined together, she knew she wouldn't take anyone's betrayal, even Edwin's.

@ Alicia Alarcon
Exactly! If that happens, it's going to be hard for Ian to cover for Veronica because he has police monitoring him and Veronica so they won't be able to hide the bodies or clean their prints properly.

What happens to Rae and Nathan?

@ gotta be you
I never thought of Ian helping her like that. Oh my gosh, that just gave me an idea. What if Veronica thinks Ian is out (he is, but comes home early) and Edwin comes over and she discovers that he's a traitorous little bastard and strangles the life out of him (after telling him that one of the boys are his), but then Ian returns home to find her with his body and he's all "I will not let him tear apart this family" (her story of Edwin attacking her because she refused to give him extra money is believed as they have been supporting him) and they hide the body in the basement (this is a middle-class family home in America - they all seem to have basements).

Veronica won't get caught for that murder, but if she is getting caught then it'll be for something else.

We need Victoria for Rae and Nathan's outcomes

@ nearly witches.
Victoria, we need you!!

@ Alicia Alarcon
@ gotta be you
Sorry guys, I've spent most of today / yesterday listing old stuff on eBay in order to survive and didn't notice the alerts until just now.

Digging all of the ideas for the other characters.

I'm honestly good with whatever happens to Rae and Nathan. I reckon that Nathan, if anything, would try and stop Rae from going to jail (because he still has a little thing for her) so if it ended up that he got arrested (which I think is probable because he's a bit of a dumbass) then he'd definitely try everything in his power to ensure that Rae didn't get dragged into it.

@ Alicia Alarcon
@ nearly witches.
Nathan and Rae can frame Veronica! Cause when they find out that Veronica's going to jail for the wrong reason or not going to jail at all, they offer their testimonies!

In the end, Veronica will end up with murder, Ian will go with assistance to murder or or obstruction of justice. Nathan and Rae will.... I dunno

@ gotta be you
@ nearly witches.

Nathan and Rae would get done if they give their testimony, and Rae would lose her licence. There is no way they would get off scott-free in exchange for testimony with how severe their crimes are.

And as Veronica would ensure they get prosecuted if she goes down, it would be hard to have them untouched.

Perhaps we should rethink this based on how things are going to play out rather than what ending we want for our chatacters.

@ gotta be you
@ Alicia Alarcon
Yeah, Rae would definitely lose her license, which would be worse than jail for her. I always saw Nathan going to jail anyway, but Rae I'm not so sure on. I can change that though.

I definitely think re-thinking it based on what'll happen is a good idea because all of the characters are gonna end up affected depending on what happens.

@ Alicia Alarcon
@ nearly witches.
Hmm more thinking I need to watch more NCIS or CSI now.

Like Greg, we can make Rae flee the town. She could go to another continent and change her identities. Nathan will offer the testimony and go to jail.

Omfg what if they ask how many are they in the group? Veronica will definitely tell them about Rae and Greg. Unless Veronica is proven to be insane, anything she says will be taken seriously by the court.

@ nearly witches.
@ gotta be you

Veronica is a psychopath, that's not classed as being insane. And if she's proven insane somehow, she could then be deemed unfit to stand trial. If she gets arrested, she'd give all the details of every one that was involved - Greg and his daughter's name, Rae and where she works, Edwin, Nathan and the twins. She will take down everyone and it would destroy the lives of all that survive.

Perhaps we could have it that some flee (like Greg), some die (like Edwin) and then the alive ones pin it all on the ones that are dead? And that signifies the end of whatever alliance they all had and they keep the secret for their own protection.
