Trepidatious Insomniac: A WordGirl FanFiction

Chapter 3: Breaking Point

TW!!: MENTIONS OF DEATH AND STABBING

Meltdown: an outburst of severe emotional distress; a nervous breakdown.

"MOM! DAD! TJ!" she screamed at the top of her lungs as she watched her family get killed right in front of her by a shadow looking creature. It's slimy hands taking a sharp spike and impaling them one by one.

She couldn't move.

She couldn't do anything.

The shadowy figure then grabbed her closest friends and proceeded to do the same thing and made sure that Becky was watching.

"SCOOPS! VIOLET! LET THEM GO YOU MONSTER!" She yelled out with tears in her eyes.

The monster showed no mercy and killed them both.

Then Becky saw a familiar face.

Tobey.

"NO! LEAVE HIM ALONE DON'T HURT HIM!" she cried out.

"BECKY!" Tobey called out to her.

The monster immediately stabbed him.

...

"TOBEY!" Becky screamed out.

Becky sprung out of the bed, nearly falling. Her vision blurry by the tears in her eyes, her heart pounding in her chest so hard it felt as though it was trying to get out and her body was shaking.

Becky began to sob and her fists were clenched. This was it. She couldn't take it anymore.

She got up from her bed, transformed into WordGirl and opened her window. She flew out to a far away forest.

Once she got to the forest, she screamed.

She screamed as loud as she could until her voice gave out as tears ran down her face like waterfalls. She started punching trees and boulders so hard her knuckles began bleeding, but she didn't care.

She was angry.

Upset.

Terrified.

The stress she was under being WordGirl was a heavy burden. Every emotion she had been feeling, stress, anxiety, and anger, was finally being released through blind rage and destruction. All of the dreams she had been having were products of her emotions.

"I HATE BEING WORDGIRL!"

"I'M JUST A KID!"

"I HATE HAVING TO SACRIFICE MY OWN HAPPINESS FOR THE SAKE OF THE CITY!"

"IT'S NOT FAIR!"

"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!"

Her mind flooded with these thoughts. They screamed in her head blocking everything else out.

Once she had enough in the forest, she flew back home into her room.

She began to destroy her room. She grabbed her clothes and began ripping them, she ripped up drawings and pictures and broke her mirror.

She looked at herself in the now shattered mirror and finally snapped out of her furious state.

She look around her room, the ripped up drawings, pictures, clothes and broken glass. She then looked down at her gloved hands, stained with blood seeping from underneath. She hadn't realized what she did. She began to cry again.

She took off her helmet and gloves and buried her face into her knees. Her bleeding knuckles began to sting from her tears hitting them. She sobbed quietly in her now destroyed, moonlit room.

Then, she heard footsteps...
