Having said all that, Mathias fell silent again, realizing it was more than he'd said to anyone about the situation while not under duress. Even then, he'd only barely managed to get the story out and really only to Webster and Veronica. Stacy already knew everything that had happened.
"Things just got worse," he murmured quietly. "The vines began to imitate our voices and produce smells to drive us crazy. We had very little food, almost no water and they could smell like fresh bread or... apple pie. Anything we wanted and couldn't have. The men down below had set up guards all around the hill, so we couldn't escape. The vines began to grow on our clothes. They infected us. The others couldn't handle it."
But could he? He'd been one of the last left, killed by Eric instead of the vines, but that didn't make it better. He was here, after all, talking to a psychiatrist, hoping for some kind of forgiveness. "They got drunk. Eric and Amy and Stacy. They stupidly got drunk and at night, Amy went out to talk to Jeff, but he was angry at her. She lay down nearby and Jeff thought she was throwing up because she was drunk, but the vines were smothering her. She died first."
