I finally realized that I am not the only monster here, turns out there was others just like me. Some are different, others are actually the same as me. Whatever it was, I was gonna get ready to leave when the figure stopped me by grabbing me by my hand. I turned my head to see the figure looking at me, telling me to not leave, but I don't have a choice. I had to go to sleep and head to school. I forced it to let me go and it did just that. I then left the area and went back home.

Morning came around and I went to school. I was getting bullied by one student to the next. It was annoying, but I can't snap at them. I just let them do that. Teachers and the principal tried to stop them but didn't really work well. I don't blame them, they tried their best and it failed. I didn't really care about the bullying and all I cared about was my studies and graduating. After school, I went back home and wrote a note, saying that 'I won't be back home for a while and the door to my room will be permanently locked. I will keep in touch with you in case you miss me. Take care of yourself. If anything, the best way to keep in touch with me is by letters or notes at (this area). Going inside the area for you guys is really dangerous, I don't want anyone to hurt you, you guys are like family to me.' After that, I locked the door to my room to where only I can open it. I watch videos on how to keep doors locked completely and i would hope it would work. It felt like a security door knob. After that, I finally packed my stuff, grab a few hundred dollars and left the house to head to my new home, hoping that I can live in the area that I can at least call 'peace'.

Boy, I may be wrong
