So, this is going to be a One-Shot book and an original story. I own the characters, I own the plot (unless someone else had a similar plot. If so, I had no idea). So please, if you're going to do anything with the story, credit me.

The story is going to have dark themes, luckily, this section if the story isn't that dark. But it does mention some themes that might be uncomfortable for some people, as the genre is horror, and it talks about some subjects that make people uncomfortable.

So without further ado, let's get ok with the story!

~~~~~~~~~

    The rain fell on her already wet hoodie, as Katherine ran to reach her house, which is a block away from her bus stop. She kept running as the Florida weather got worse, but didn't stop running. Her legs were sore from the day. Actually, her entire body was sore, from the large number of bruises that she received throughout the day. The bullies were incredibly rough on her today, but as usual, she didn't stop them. She couldn't anyway, she was far too weak for them. Once she got to her front door, she hurriedly got her keys and unlocked the door, going in her home.

    Her dull looking house greeted her with the usual silence, and Katherine sighed. She dropped her wet backpack on the couch and closed the door, opening her back to get her laptop. As she got it out, drops of water started dripping from it. "Great…" she said to herself out loud. "I knew I should've gotten a better backpack…" She sighed, as she got a small towel and wrapped the laptop in it. As she let the (hopefully not broken) laptop dry, she walked towards the shower, turning on the showerhead as she let it heat up. She looked at herself in the mirror. At her disgusting face, her hair, purple towards the tips, all over the face, her one appearing black eye. She hated it all. She hated herself. She just wished that all the pain could stop. She wished that she could have peace.

She took off her clothes as she stepped into the shower, letting the water consume her. Her mind went blank as the water slowly washed away all the blood from her scars that appeared on her body, top to bottom. The only time she could relax, were these moments. Oh, how she wanted to stay like this. But of course, as usual, she can't do that. She sighed as the cleaned herself, eventually turning off the water and grabbing her towel, drying herself and changing into some PJs for the night.

She later went to the kitchen and started to heat up a Hot Pocket for herself. As the Hot Pocket was cooking, she grabbed her laptop to check if it was dry. It, in fact, was, so she opened it up, and it miraculously turned on. One good thing is happening? Impossible. She grabbed her Hot Pocket after it was finished cooking in the microwave, and sat on the couch, doing her homework as she ate. It has been multiple hours, and she has finally finished it. She was about to turn off her computer when a "ding!" came from it. A message. She sighed, thinking it was the bullies texting her again. She was tempted to just close her laptop and not see the message. But...something inside of her was telling her not to. So she sighed and checked the message.

"Hey, Kate! It's been a while!" The message read. Katherine's eyes widened at the message. There was only one person who called her by that old name. Frantically, she typed on the keyboard and sent her response.

"Amity?" Katherine stared at the screen eagerly, waiting for a response. About a minute later, another message came through.

"Yeah! It's me! It's been a while" The message read. Katherine responded.

"Yeah, it has!"

"So, how are you?" Katherine bit her lip, then responded.

"Everything is great. Classes are hard though"

"I know you'll get through it! You always do"

"Heh, yeah"

"So, I have some news!"

"What is it?"

"Well, tomorrow, I'm moving to Florida! Isn't it great?" Katherine smiled the widest she ever remembered.

"That's amazing!!!"

"Yeah! I was hoping to see you tomorrow"

"Definitely!"

"You know the area more than I do, could you make a meeting spot?"

"How about the old abandoned Walmart? No one will be there, so we could find each other easily."

"Sure! How about 5 pm?"

"Deal"

"Great!" See you tomorrow!"

"Bye!"

As the conversation ended, Katherine jumped with complete happiness, an emotion she hasn't felt in ages. She closed her laptop, and headed straight to bed, excited for the day to come.

Too bad she doesn't know that everything will turn downhill, as usual.
