Chapter 3

I didn't fit in with other children back home . I was always told that something was wrong with me. All teachers and doctors said I was broken.

My parents , think a change of scenery , a fresh start in Hawkins might just cure me. As if the world would be any different here.

I don't fit in here . I have never fitted in anywhere . I can't even pretend to. Day after day is the same. I'm tired of it . I can not close off my mind and join in the madness of the humans poisonous world. Now I've realised i do not have to. I can make my own rules. I can restore balance to a broken world. Be a predator but for good.

Now that I've started to practice controlling things , I've realised I can do more than I'd possibly imagine . I can reach into others , into their minds their memories.

I've started to become an explorer. I'm now seeing my parents as they truly are . To the world, they present themselves as good , normal people but like everything else in the world it was all a lie. They have done things . Such terrible things.

I'm now trying to show them who they really are. I'm holding up a mirror . My naive father believes it is a demon cursing us for our sins. But my mother somehow knows. Knows it was I who's holding that mirror and she despises me for it. Tomorrow she's going to call the doctor an expert who she wants to lock me away and to fix me. Even though it's not me who's broken it is them.

Now she's left me no choice no choice but to act, to break free.

" VIOLET! it's now 2pm get up now. Just cause it's the holidays doesn't give you an excuse to be lazy ."
my mum shouted whilst banging on my bedroom door making all my furniture rattle .
I rolled my eyes

" Yes  mum give me 10 minutes and i'll be downstairs " i yelled .

I wasn't going to be 10 minutes .

I had the sudden urge to look over to the Creels  house and  then that's when i saw -.Oh no. Mrs creel quickly walking  over to our house in her blood red  heels . Her hair was still in rollers. Oh no . Oh no.

A gentle knock echoed through our house. I could hear the door unlock so my mum must've answered it. I creeped out of my bedroom to hear their conversation  .

" Hello ! I'm Mrs Creel you must be Mrs Whitlock.I was just wondering if Violet would like to have dinner at our house. I feel like her and Henry have become quite close-"

CLOSE? I've only just met him. It's fine,  don't panic Violet  She will say no as she'll know you won't want to go.
But then the dreaded words I feared came out of my own mothers  mouth .

" Of course ! She'd love that . Thank you Mrs creel."

" I'm delighted to hear that I'll see Violet at 6." Mrs creel said .

Now i've never ever thought about murder. But at this point i felt like murdering my mum.

____________________________________

I patted down my blue buttoned dress and looked in the mirror approvingly . I turned to look at my  watch on my bedside table it read 17:58.

Shoot. I quickly ran down the stairs  and slipped on my brown buckled shoes and kissed my mum goodbye before she could even utter a word.

I climbed up their steep steps nervously . It's not too late to turn back is it? Is it?

The door immediately opened and i was greeted with tiresome eyes that looked like they'd seen a ghost or a demon.
He faintly smiled at me but i could tell there was something else plaguing his thoughts
. Before he could say anything Mrs creel ran up to the door and hugged me and boomed
" Violet finally you're here ! Dinner  is just on  the table you're in the seat opposite to Henry."
" Thank you Mrs Creel i'm delighted to be here." I tried to force a smile onto my face. Mrs creel must of bought it as her face  scrunched up into a wide grin.

Kill me now .

I walked into the dining room and all of the pictures were lit up by the lamps that engulfed the room.  There was also a white table full of magazines and a house telephone that glared at me almost  waiting for me to pick up the phone and ask my mum to tell the Creels that I suddenly needed to be somewhere else.

I looked around the long table with delicious food all laid carefully around  the table.
My mouth was watering like crazy. I noticed Henry sitting down at the table lost in thought. I coughed and he looked at me and gave me a weak smile. But he just looked away
. I sat on the tall wooden chair waiting for everyone to arrive .
Mr Creel  was about to make a phone call and Mrs Creel just sat on her chair looking around waiting for something or someone. His little sister was playing with her food . I would love to be a little kid again

I noticed the tension  between Henry and Mrs Creel they wouldn't even look at each other .Everything seemed wrong .

Lights started to flicker abruptly. I looked at Henry and he was closing his eyes but his eyeballs seemed to be moving rapidly . A loud scream was let out by Mrs Creel as she flew to ceiling . Her bones started to crack and deform.Her body was flung around like a fish thats been caught in a fishing line . eyes popped out of her sockets . Screams and shouts were coming from all directions. A  wave of nausea hit me suddenly.
Henry had done this . He had killed his own mother . I looked at him and he had no emotion. I looked at him in disgust. We made eye contact . I noticed be had blood dripping down his nose and he wiped it away .
Mrcreel lifted him off his chair and into the hallway . I needed to leave now. There must be a back door. My eyes scanned the room and there i found my escape. My way out of this terrible situation. Without turning back i ran and turned the handle. To my luck it was unlocked . Their garden had a little gate leading into the drive . I jumped over it with ease and ran back home. God knows what i'll tell my mother .

I knocked on the door numerous times and footsteps approached. Relief washed over me as my mum greeted me and behind her all i could see was cardboard boxes standing sadly  . All filled up with our home decor and furniture . I stepped inside to see our whole house was bare .

" We're moving dear." my mum said looking for a reaction  .

A forced smile plastered on my face . No news could cheer me up after what i just witnessed .

A/n: A longer chapter whattt??? The backstory is nearly over and the main plot will finally arrive . Are you enjoying this book so far ? Will Violet tell?
