Ash Kelley

He says, when I was human, I lived in Houston, Texas.

I was almost 17 years old.

I was almost 17 years old when I joined the Confederate Army in 1861.

I lied to the recruiters and told them I was 20.

I was tall enough to get away with it.

Jesus Christ.

And then he says, my military career was short-lived but very promising.

People always liked me, listened to what I had to say.

My father said it was charisma.

But he says the Confederate Army was new and scrambling to organize itself, so that provided opportunities as well.

And I'm like, so we're like, he's just like, yep, killed it.

Loved it.

Let's do it again.

I'm going to use my skills from there for this.

Because even in the same scene, he's explaining to Bella how he was turned.

And he's turned by this woman named Maria.

And she was this Mexican woman that he had met while he was in the Confederate Army.

And he's talking about it.

And he says her features were clearly Mexican, but she was pale as marble in the moonlight.

and it's like there's a lot wrong with that there's so much happening there but i'm also like so they even double down there by saying and in the book and in the movie they double down there by saying even though this woman could have had like uh like brown skin or olive skin or some type of like you know complexion that is different from pale white right she didn't right
