You and Elias wake up restrained in an unfamiliar room with no options of escape. But when the person behind your capture reveals themselves and what they have planned, you realise this is far bigger than you or Elias could’ve imagined…

FEATURING

??

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

This episode has been a long time coming! I originally wanted to complete this at the end of April after I came back from holiday, but that month-long break was necessary, as were the solo stories that allowed me to shake off the rust and return to my groove. Now that I'm in full swing, the next part is finally here, and I apologise for the long wait!

I've had this idea in mind for a while, and I'm so glad to hear it come to fruition, so I hope you enjoy Elias' next instalment!

As usual, one question remains unanswered. Which pathway did the crumpets choose? What did the listener do?

STILL SHOCKED THE MOTHER IS ALIVE?! WELP THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I WASNT EXPECTING IN THE GOD DAMN SLIGHTEST TO GO IN THIS SERIES AT ALL

Bee ;)

We're so fucked...

Seal Seal

I have two witnesses to let you know that I’m ACTIVELY SOBBING OF EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED CUZ SM DID IM MOST UPSET ABOUT BARISTA LOSING ELIAS’ TRUST IM NOT OKAYYYYY

Bee ;)

OMG????

Andi

I feel so bad for Elias 😭 I think I need to give a second listen to the whole series because I've forgotten some stuff, but that was ROUGH rough this time. He's had his trust betrayed a few times now... And the audio just ending in cold silence, I can't take this bro. ALSO I WAS AGAPE FINDING OUT HIS MOTHER'S ALIVE ?? He's gonna need all the time in the world to process ALL that, and the barista having to gain back Elias' trust is not gonna be easy I feel like 😭, I hope this ends well for both of them 🙏 We gotta step up our game with the polls dude we better get the best ending with the 3 next audios istg-

???

Before I read any comments or listen to this, I wanna guess that the “featuring ??” is none other than the old man himself (Nora)… if I’m wrong then then don’t worry, I’ll eat my shoe 👟 😂

Bee ;)

It's genuinely so over 💔💔💔

ᴄʜᴀʀ

right right so i need the next part like yesterday (why do i feel like listener is gonna HAVE to become one of them and ur gonna do smth mean like kill their parents)

Ambrosiaroses

I have a sinking feeling this isn’t going to end well…first time for everything IG 😭🧍🏻‍♀️

ᴄʜᴀʀ

okay sooooo i need the mom to die and james to have smth horrible happen to him, bc now im sympathizing with warden and im sad elias is, in a way, gonna betray his father. unless ur gonna do a plot twist where the listener is the only one who’s loyal to him?

ᴄʜᴀʀ

i’m ready for the listener to become ruthless and start shooting ppl😜

ᴄʜᴀʀ

james laugh when “i don’t need protecting” PISSES ME OFF LIKE SHUT THE FUCK UP

ZSakuVA

That was Morgan, not James!

Rainy

whole family deranged

meraki

we are SO cooked.

leu♥︎

WE CANNOT WIN IN THIS BITCH. Ofc we picked the worst path because why wouldn't we?

Marga

Could Morgan be referring to Asirel? If I recall correctly, wasn't he the Vex's benefactor... 😗 Everyone's just a lick away from discovering mythics exist 🤣

ᴄʜᴀʀ

IM SORRY IVE COMMENTED LIKE A BILLION TIMES BUT I NEED TO LET MORE THOUGHTS OUT. TARA IS FUCKING HORRIBLE AND SO IS JAME!! THERE’S NO COMPLEX CHARACTER IN THIS BITCH. I understand that in the mafia there’s no good and bad people anymore even if you haven’t ever killed anyone, you’re a bad person just for being associated with it even if it wasn’t your fault, fine. But my thing is I can’t call them bad people because everyone in the mafia is bad somehow and I’m sure the listener is going to become a bad person eventually too, they’re going to have to betray some morals. BUT they are bad people (js like everyone in the mafia world) WHO ARE PRETENDING TO BE GOOD AND PLAYING JUDGE JURY AND EXECUTIONER. 1/2

ᴄʜᴀʀ

WARDEN HAS MADE, LIKE ELIAS SAID, A GODDAMN SHELL OF HIMSELF SINCE TARA DIED. HE SACRIFICED HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH ELIAS, HIS ONLY CHILD, AND HAS KILLED PROBABLY LOTS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE (i’m assuming this because he was willing to kill listener in like the second episode js because they knew too much) AND HE’S HAD TO CARRY THAT BECAUSE FROM THE MOMENT SHE DIED, HE WAS WILLING TO CARRY OUT HER LEGACY, EVEN IF IT MEANT NEVER HAVING A STABLE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS SON, AND HAVING TO CARRY THE BLOOD OF SO MANY PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T HAVE ANY CORRELATION TO HIS WORLD. DO YOU KNOW HOW FUCKED UP YOU HAVE TO BE TO HAVE A MAN IN FRONT OF YOU WHO IS WILLING TO SACRIFICE AND DO SO MUCH FOR YOU AND STILL YOU STAND THERE DOING NOTHING WHILE HE IS ABOUT TO BE KILLED. JUST FUCKING ACCEPT THE FACT THAT HE’S GOING TO DIE AFTER THAT MAN DID EVERYTHING FOR YOU, DEDICATED EVERY SECOND HE BREATHES IN OXYGEN FOR YOU. (also the fact I’m getting so worked up about this? It’s all because of how good of a writer you are SAQU. UR TALENTED ASFFFFF) LIKE SHIT GIVE ME A MAN WHO’S WILLING TO DEDICATE HIS ENTIRE LIFE FOR ME AFTER I DIE. BUT NO, SHE AND JAMES (WHO WE’ll GET TO IN A MINUTE) WERE WILLING TO LET THE BOMB KILL HIM. WHAT THE SHIT TARA?? 2/3

???

I KNEW SHE WAS ALIVE THIS WHOLE TIME!!!! I just knew that something was fishy about everything especially with Elias being the dark about (almost) EVERYTHING 😭😭 poor boy🥺

???

You guys did. I was not a part of it 😔. Just curious, where do you guys vote??

???

I don’t own shoes 👟 👀 😶‍🌫️🫥

I don’t have as much things to say about James. I goddamn hate him. I don’t hate him as much as I hate Tara because I understand he had to pick between his brother-in-law and his actual blood sister, who he mourned for years and is probably his only family. I get it dude, I understand, but shit the thing that really gets me is that they were willing to let the bomb kill him. way before they decided, correct me if I’m wrong, that they were going to tell eli the truth and try to get him to convince warden to leave the wraiths. THAT is precisely what gets me because he found out this year tara was alive. that meant that for all the years she was dead, WARDEN was his only companion through that pain. elias knew her for only like 14 years or smth, but THEY BOYH knew her half of their lives! (james for all of his life) He was his companion through the pain who knew her just as well as he did, do you know the bond warden probably thinks they have?? but no james doesn’t see it like. like I said before I understand he had to pick between his sister who he mourned and probably wish she’d come back for years or warden. That’s not the part im upset about, but BROTHER try to protect warden as well! like you can be on your sisters side, but you don’t have to fully stop being on warden side. you can protect warden too, but no. motherfucker just stood there and rolled over while he was told warden was going to die , and did NOTHING. years of being warden‘s most trusted man ,the only memory he had of Tara, his companion through tara’s death, just for James to throw that away. The only reason I don’t want him dead is because I understand that’s his sister, TARA is the one that needs to fucking die. she’s the real villain of this series!! and yk what? listener had enough balls to tell james that she didn’t trust him, and to question whether or not he actually had good intentions for Elias, so I think once they get to meet Tara face-to-face, they will be a bit hesitant, but eventually they’re going to tell Tara the truth of what they think about her too. and because that’s Elias‘s mother who he thought she was dead, that’s probably going to put a strain in their relationship because I doubt that you’re going to write listener just being submissive and taking every command tara gives her because you’ve already made it known that just because James was a very trusted and very loved person by eli, that didn’t stop them from making it known that they didn’t trust James. so I highly believe that there will be a scene where they will confront Tara on the fact that she thinks she’s doing the right thing, but she’s really not. 3/3

Rainy

tara gotta go... like fr this time

ᴄʜᴀʀ

and one more thing. she’s using the excuse that no matter how much warden loves her, he won’t leave the wraiths for her because he’ll get pissed or whatever that james betrayed him and sided with Morgan. She’s using that excuse to cover up the fact that she has a savior fucking complex, and she’s not willing to choose taking her husband, her son and her brother somewhere safer they can live happily ever after over “saving Stockton”. By the way , they’re gonna die at some point. so if they save Stockton now, there’s a good chance.. next generation these efforts won’t matter! girl just take your family somewhere safe, leave Stockton to burn!! like holy shit. (and the fact that I’m getting so pissed about this just tells me that you’re so good at writing villains lol)

ᴄʜᴀʀ

elias, in a way, IS betraying him. him having to choose between his mother or his father is so upsetting, like he’s been through so much. BUT here’s my take on this. like I said, in a way he ISS betraying him because he is withholding very very, very important information. for example, just something to throw out there, his wife is alive. His wife was willing to let him die. His wife is working with Morgan. his brother-in-law is working with Morgan, who knows said wife is alive. the four of them, and also the listener (who he let live) all know this and he’s just being taken as a fool. at this point, Warren can burn Stockton TO the FUCKING ground and I won’t even be mad about it. like let him go crazy, cause there ain’t no way he’s getting done this dirty by his whole family.

YouTube poll after the audios are released there :)

luckyfawngirl

we always pick the worst option omggg 😿

emmonx

oh fuck im scared. FYM WORST PATH IM SO UPSET watching this later we're fucked

emmonx

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKKKKKKKKK its so over

Fliss

So much angst…. I luv it 🍽️🍽️😋😋

Kalmi

Guys I dont think we picked this one. Because why is the CYP crossed out Tbh i actually agree with tara because if you think about it from her perspective Warden has done every thing but what she wanted. She didnt want Elias involved Warden still recruited him. She wanted Stockton to be safer for children, because remember the wraths started when elias was unable to go to school anymore due to gang violence, but Warden has recruited the same children tara wanted protected. Warden has prioritised expanding the wraiths with any means necessary (which is what he think she wanted) instead of prioritising the reason it was started, which was to make stockton safer.

Artemis

WHY THE WORST PATH

MikaiahRoll

Christ we fucked up brothers and sisters and in betweens. Dude I trust Elias, he's just a baby.

ZSakuVA

The community picked it!

Violet

bro i had to go back and listen to james threatening the listener not tell elias about what they overheard for his safety. now it’s untrustworthy they didn’t confess? righttt righttttt… and when they confessed to elias about the first time he threatened them that meant nothing regarding listener’s loyalty? in fact he threw that back in their face last episode to scare them into submission this time….rightt righttt……james pmo. yeah yeah listener obviously should’ve confessed that they didn’t trust james in this audio, but i still cannot blame them when he drones on about how out of their depth they are here. and what would listener’s distrust of james even have meant to elias? why would he believe the opinions of a civilian ignorant to this world over his deeply integrated uncle who he trusts more than anyone? he’d have no reason/would be unwilling to put listener’s obscure pieces together to suspect james. considering james acknowledged that the listener actually cares for elias, i guess he just wants to isolate elias from them for his plans (whatever that accomplishes) but it’s so annoying how listener keeps getting the short end of the stick, genuinely free them. at this point as much as i love elias as a character i wouldn’t mind listener just dipping from all this it’s not worth it. i lowk hope this causes them to become more emotionally detached from this whole situation and to look out for themselves first. and poor elias, i guess objectively all these characters (tara, james, morgan) have complex personalities and motives, but to him everyone is doing him SO dirty; i’d turn into a depressed shell of myself if i were him. (are they considerate of that? or do they only care about his physical safety and their grand plans?). great voice acting from everyone and amazing audio overall!

Kalmi

😭 i thought there was hope

AFineCuppaTea

So this is the first series of yours I really got into and it’s one of my favorites - what you did here is really brilliant and unique and turns the whole series on its head! I was so hooked the entire time! Everyone is upset lmaooo (understandably) but I’m super stoked to see how things turn out. Tbh Listener is a normal person not equipped to be in these situations and if I wasn’t sure what was going on, I’d probably lie too if I didn’t know what the outcome would be if I told the truth. Besides even if they told Elias, doesn’t mean he would have believed them. I do feel really bad for him though, it was super embarrassing when he was lashing out and it was clear he was misinformed about a lot of things. Man. Also his mom sounds low key evil, yiiiiikes.

cinnamon

i'm late but two worst paths in a row😭😭 please don't make elias hate us, the relationship was so cute and we've been through so much together

cinnamon

ITS NOT LIKE WE KNEW😭😭

Sandy Puppet

HE SAID NO MORE SECRETS OR LIES IN AN AUDIO BEFORE AND Y'ALL CHOSE TO KEEP A SECRET AND LIE 💔 breaking my heart😞

cinnamon

ITS LIKE PLAYING ROULETTE OFC WE WOULD CHOOSE TO TELL HIM IF WE KNEW BUT YOU LITERALLY ONLY GET A NUMBER AND PRAY YOU CHOSE THE GOOD ONE💔💔

Choco

Yeah, I don't even need to relisten because the whole house pissed me off. First, Morgan, though I'm glad we've finally met this infamous person, this guy's plan is bogus. Yeah, let me encourage the merge between the Vex and Wraiths in order to bait out this elusive benefactor who I know nothing about but have some inkling is very powerful. You mean, Asirel??? And the rest of the Court behind him???? How are you trying to bait out something you don't even fully understand?? What kind of plan??? Bro is going to get slimed out by Pet idc. Though it would be cool if Elias and Asirel cross paths somehow. James is a spineless coward. He spent half of his screen time throughout this series trying to sus out Barista, accusing them of being untrustworthy, and then forcing them to be untrustworthy, just to throw in their face “hey, you're untrustworthy”. Bruh 😒. Nevermind he's out here willing to throw Warden to the wolves and doesn't want to come clean about Tara because he knows his head will be on a spike, but I been knew he was a rat so it's not that surprising. 🤷 Tara can go, too. Girly got 2 seconds of screen time and it's already too much. She has a man that has fundamentally changed since her “death” and is doing everything in his power to carry on her memory via the Wraiths. There is no question that he loves her deeply and would do anything she tells him to do if she only asks. But sure, let's just plot his murder because we're quirky like that. 😒 Barista should've told Elias the truth in the previous audio. Naturally, the lies would catch up with them. Why they chose to lie now instead of tell the truth, we'll never know. Rookie ass mistake. Ngl, I only fuck with Elias and Warden at this point. I will support anything that they want to do. Everyone else can kick rocks.

L A T E R N F L Y

I’m so confused and utterly pissed off at James actions here. Literally in the last episode, he made this whole big fuss that was hinged on one thing: To not tell Elias ANYTHING. He threatened to kill us, intimidated us, and manipulated us into believing that the information he holds can end up getting Elias killed if we go on tell him everything we have heard. He literally told us that he wanted Elias’ involvement to be as minimal as possible. Only for us to be knocked out, dragged from our safe house, and kidnapped by the same enemies that they were fighting. AND TELLS ELIAS THE SAME INFO THAT HE THREATENED US NOT TO TELL. To make matters worse, HE QUITE LITERALLY THROWS ALL THE SHIT HE DID TO US BACK IN OUR FACE. This man makes it seem like we never told Elias about this shit cuz we aren’t trustworthy—AS IF HE DIDN’T LITERALLY FORCE US INTO SILENCE BY WORD OF HIS FUCKING THREATS. What was literally the point of putting us through all THAT just to turn around and do the exact opposite of what he told us not to do??? And punishing us for doing as he told us?? Hello!? I don’t even blame Barista for not telling him, honestly. From what we know right now, they’re a civilian, someone who is ignorant to the underbelly of society. They do not know how to navigate gang banging the way Elias and James and the rest of them do. And on top of that, even though it’s obvious that Barista cares about Elias and Elias cares about them—James was someone he’s known and trusted with everything he’s had in him. Even if we DID tell Elias about the phone call in the last audio, I highly doubt Elias would have believed us. In THIS audio, he was so adamant about James not being involved when Morgan told him he was, that he only believed it when he showed him the proof. And that was something we did not have in the last audio. Even when we WERE honest about James’ actions toward us (I’m referencing episode 5, when we first meet James in the safe house) Elias still rationalized James’ behavior. So even if Barista would have told him last audio, I’m very doubtful he would have believed us if there no was no sufficient evidence to back it up. That being said…Barista still should have told him. But I also understand why they didn’t.

Marga

Yeah, I was like -- you mean Asirel? The 1% of the 1%.... with a whole ass vampire as his bodyguard?

Violet

agree. i thought it was so dumb the listener chose to lie a SECOND time especially since after morgan brought up james it should’ve become clear IMMEDIATELY that james is 100% involved here and their lie would be quickly verified just by him showing up. so irritating and unfortunately beyond our control 🥲

aslan

i need them to make up so bad 😭😭😭

Angel_

I’m literally crying. Noo why the worst path omggg. This really can go so many ways now omg I’m excited AND terrified. This was so good and getting more information, thank you for this :) Now my mind is going up and down lol.
