Playing with fire // karlnap

Chapter One

"Karl seriously you need to go back to college, you have so much potential!" Karl's mom begs over the phone.

"No mom!!" Karl shouts, "sorry but it's not for me I dropped out for a reason, so leave me be."

"Please just think about it Karl, I have to go now, I love you."

"Bye mom, love you too." after his mom hangs up he realizes that his mom might be right, but he isn't in the right mindset.

Karl got really bored and eventually he hopped on discord and started talking to his best friend, Quackity.

Karl called Quackity and he picked up almost instantly.

"HI KARLLLL" Quackity shouts into his mic. "Hi Alex." Karl likes calling Quackity Alex knowing it gets on his nerves because he doesn't like his name.

"Do you want to hop on minecraft?" Quackity asks.

"sure!"

After 3 hours of playing minecraft with his best friend, Karl grew very tired and logged off for the night.

He looked over at his clock and it read 2:37 a.m.

Karl decided he could get into trouble in the morning and fell asleep almost instantly.

Little did he know he was about to have the craziest day of his life in the morning.

–––––––

Karl woke up to his phone blowing up with messages from Alex. He groaned looking at what he was being spammed with.

It was just a bunch of memes Karl didn't care about and then he looked at the time.

4:56 a.m.

Why the honk is Alex awake so early??

After realizing how early he was up he tried to go back to bed but couldn't so he got up and ready for his day.

Once he was all ready he heard a knock at his front door.

He wasn't expecting anyone but he still went to check who it was in case it was someone who was dying or something.

When he opened the door he couldn't move.

Rae.

⚠️TW: MENTION OF VERBAL AND PHYSICAL ABUSE AND IMPLICATION OF R@PE SKIP TO THE NEXT MARKER IF YOU DONT WANT TO READ THIS PART. ⚠️

Rae was his ex- they broke up because Karl couldn't take it anymore. She was insane.

She got therapists and doctors diagnosed her as a sociopath. Sometimes Karl would blame himself for this because when they first met at that little café, she was so kind and calm.

He didn't know why she was there, but he did know he didn't want her there.

Whenever she shows up he will get flashbacks of her hitting him or verbally abusing him and that makes him go crazy and he ends up doing things on impulse. Today like most days she shows up he freaked out and told her to leave.

She refused like always, Karl didn't know why he still asked knowing what the answer would be.

Karl was to scared to go to the police in fear of two things.

One, being that he is an arsonist and robber and if he goes to the police, he will most likely be caught and thrown in jail.

Two, being that he doesn't think they will believe him and they will do nothing about it.
