Caprae, The Scape Goat

backstory

Caprae had just gotten home from school, Friday evening, she was glad for the weekend to be here. She hated the people at school, she wanted new people to talk to.

God. All the people at my school are so fucking boring.

She had gotten to her door when she heard crackling and ripping sounds. Like, paper ripping. She tries to open the door, but fails.

goddammit, it's locked. Who's in there??

"Hey?? Can you let me in?"
She cries out.

no reply

"Let me in, it's my room."

The crackling gets louder.

"Who's in there?"

"I am." Her brother replies

"Dom, let me in."

"No way, bitch." He replies

I know this kid didn't just call me that. I swear when he opens this door. I'm slapping him.

"Dom. It's my room. Let me in. Now."

More ripping sounds can be heard from inside.

"Fine. You made me do this."

She kicks open the door, almost breaking it, to see all of her projects being ripped up and burnt.

Even ones that took years.

"What The Hell?!"

She runs in to try to save some projects.

She fails.

She looks at her brother, crazed in the eye.

"Do you know how long those took me? DO YOU?!"

He sat there, smiling.

That little shit was smiling. Oh ho ho. He's not gonna be the one smiling in a second.

She takes off her backpack and swings it at her brother, With enough force put into it, she knocked her brother into the fire.
He screams loud enough to wake the neighborhood. She shoves him over to her dresser and puts out the fire.

"Youre not smiling now huh arent you?"

He shakes his head no. She chuckles.

"It's not funny when it happens to you is it?"

He starts crying,

"NO IT ISNT IM SORRY PLEASE HELP ME!"

He sat there in agony, all she could do was laugh.

As a last resort, she grabs the keys to the front door off her dresser and stabs him in the face, not once, but multiple times.

At this point, he was on the ground, almost lifeless from all the burns and stabs.

But she hears footsteps around the corner. She turns around and sees her mother.

"MY BABY!!"

She shoves her out of the way.

"GET OUT OF MY GODDAMN HOUSE!! NOW!"

Caprae gets up, grabs her backpack and runs, with bloody hands, a burnt cheek, and no.. anger...

She gets out the door and dashes towards the forest. It wasnt close but it wasn't far away. She finds a tree and leans against it, panting. She slides down onto the ground...

...and falls asleep.
