I’M  not  a  fox.        (she  restarts)       call  my  brother  or  something,   please,  he  does  stupid  stuff  when  he  doesn’t  know  where  i  am.      as  i  was  saying,  that  fox  isn’t  me.  it’s  my  body,  YEAH,  but  not  me.  it’s  a  long  story.

            If Summer wasn’t confused before, she certainly was now.   « Wait, slow down, I don’t really get what you’re saying. »   She tilted her head. She felt lost in that helpless way where she wanted to help out, but she was in the dark about it. 

[..]    it’s  NOT  cool.  that’s  not  ME        (the  words  come  out  harsher  than  intended,  resentment  brewing  yet  again  inside  her.   abigail  takes  a  breath)          days ?   [shit]     i  hate  that  hag.  ‘m  not  some  toy— i’m  NOT !    [..]  we  should  tell  juli  you  found  me  before  he  does  something  stupid  again 

(abigail  may  be  young,  but  she’s  no  idiot.  she’s  lived  long  enough  to  know  it  isn’t  her  place  to  tell  anyone  anything,  especially  regarding  her  brother.  it  would  be  selfish  to  spill  a  secret  not  hers)          his  heart.    [..]     like  i  said,  julius  is  stupid.  don’t  worry,  it  wasn’t  recent.  it  was  when  WE  were  kids.  so   [..]   two  hundred—ish  years  ago,  i  think.   he  trusted  the  wrong  people  &  screwed  himself.  he’s  STILL  paying  the  price,  y’know.  &  before  you  ask,  the  price  isn’t  his  visions.  THAT  was  a  birth  gift.  but  he  can  explain  that  himself.        (fortunately  for  herself,  abigail  has  no  trouble  being  selfish.  she’s  fond  of  it,  quite  the  gossip.  fear,  she’s  decided,  has  driven  her  brother  to  not  trust  his  biggest  secret  to  the  singular  person  deemed  worthy  of  it  by  her  &  that  simply  won’t  do)

            « If you’re worried about him, don’t be. »   Summer said softly. After a moment of hesitation, she reached forward and placed a hand on the 16 year old’s shoulder.   « He’s safe with me, promise. »   She pulled away then and rested back into the couch.   « So uh.. you said he lost something..? Is it okay if I ask what? »

it’s  STUPID.  he  is.  he  goes  around  trusting  everyone  he  meets  more  than  he  should,  &  THAT  is  exactly  why  he  lost  his—  [..]   never  mind.     [..]   i  just  think  he  needs  to  be  cautious.  don’t  let  him  get  into  more  trouble.  
            
            /      if  sum  asks  what  he  lost,  im  sorry  in  advance  <3 

you  can  always  leave  anytime  you  want.  abby  or  no  abby,  that  won’t  change,        (he  blurts  out,  relief  whelming  in  him.   julius  had  already  gone  talked  to  abigail  on  the  matter.  he’d  made  sure  she  understood  how  much  this  means  to  him,  &  much  to  her  displeasure,  he’d  gotten  her  to  agree  to  be  nice.  his  arms  snake  around  summer,  tugging  her  closer  until  she  stands  between  his  legs)          thank  you  sweet  girl.  honestly.  this  means  more  than  you  know  to  me.

            After everything that happened, Summer was not all that keen to spend dinner with Abby. But Julius seemed insistent.. And she loved him too much to say no.   « Fine. »   She sighed aloud and got up from her seated position on his couch.   « But I wanna be able to leave anytime I want.. okay? »

Life with this new adoptive family, however, would be difficult. Her new parents were abusive and neglectful, often leaving their two young children to provide and care for themselves. Toren grew very protective of Summer as a result, shielding her as best as he could from the abuses of their parents.
                      Toren would be 18, Summer 14, when they ran away together from the home and found a cheap apartment for rent in a nearby neighborhood. Summer, when she was enrolled into school, would find a passion for photography. 

Born Roseanne Kim, her parents Jack and Anna were part of a cult which worshipped 9 families, each member like a deity. They would tell the stories of these powerful families to their younger daughter. Summer would retain the memories of these stories, even knowing them word for word today.
                      Summer, however, detested the cult. She hated how restrictive life was underneath. She soon grew resentful and tried multiple times in her young life to escape, and when that wouldn’t work, she would bring contraband all the time into her house.
                      Watching the careful decline of their daughter, the Kim parents decided that their daughter was possessed by demons, only curable by ritualistic means.
                      So on a cool August night in 2006, at only 9 years old, Summer’s birth parents would drug their daughter to put her to sleep, and then take her to the woods where they would tie her up and attempt to light the ground below her ablaze, believing it would cure her of her possession.
                      Summer would manage to free herself in the fire and run away, eventually coming across an orphanage ran by nuns who would take her in. Not long later, she was adopted by the Harris-Jung family, and she’d gain a brother in their son, Toren.
