False Savior:

Simone’s Notes:

Deception, beguilement, deceit, bluff, mystification, bad faith, and subterfuge are acts to propagate beliefs that are not true, or not the whole truth. Deception can involve dissimulation, propaganda, sleight of hand. It can employ distraction, camouflage or concealment. There is also self-deception as in bad faith. Deception is a major relational transgression that often leads to feelings of betrayal and distrust between relational partners. Deception violates relational rules and is considered to be a negative violation of expectations. Most people expect friends, relational partners, and even strangers to be truthful most of the time. If people expected most conversations to be untruthful, talking and communicating with others would require distraction and misdirection to acquire reliable information. On a given day, it is likely that most human beings will either deceive or be deceived by another person. A significant amount of deception occurs between romantic and relational partners.

He promised to fix her. Edward had been so understanding towards Susan. He took the time to listen to Susan pour her heart out. Despite how annoying it sounded, he never showed it on his face. She could only see a gentle, calm in his eyes.

“Am I boring?” she asked. Edward quickly shook his head.

“No, no!” he lies always. “You’re just healing yourself by telling me what happened to you in your childhood.” Susan relaxes and keeps on talking. Keep dancing into my trap, Edward thinks the whole time.

He promised to help her. Between him and Laurel, Susan’s starting to spend more time with Edward. Laurel does not like this. Only she knows Edward’s true intention. But, she keeps it to herself and keeps on fighting. So far, round two is swinging against her. Laurel needs to sway Susan away from Edward. Right now, she’s running out of ideas. Susan is sold on every word that flows out of the incubus’ mouth.

He promised to save her. Everyone around Susan notices a change. She is much happier. Her finacee considers actually placing a date for their wedding. But, Laurel knows that won’t be a good idea. Edward is poisoning Susan. Not out in the open, mind up. But, he is filling her head with a fake medicine. Ah yes, that’s how that scan works. The victim takes in the good, thinking they will heal from this “wonder drug.” It isn’t in one huge go either. The “doctor” starts out in tiny drops, just to get their victim into it. Soon, the drops aren’t working like they used to. The victim wants that same high, so they go back to the dealer for a stronger dose. The “doctor” is happy to supply. The cycle repeats itself into it all spirals out of control. By the time the victim realizes that they have been poisoned, it’s too late. They are a terminal case and nothing can be done to save them. Laurel shakes her head.

I refuse to lose Susan to that monster! Time to bring in more ammo.

He promises her everything. But, that’s the problem. It’s all just a bunch of lies. Yet, Susan can’t see that. She is stuck on the island of desperate and will believe any false savior in an angel’s disguise. Susan can’t see that she had made her own misery go faster and stronger. All she believes is that she is getting better. Edward knows this and keeps selling her false hope to lure her over to the Fallen Ones’ kingdom.

He promised to fix her. Well, he is lying.
