"Claire, CLAIRE come here! Tell you didn't do that to those girls- listen to me!"

"Why are you yelling at me did I do something wrong?"

"Yes! You killed two people tonight and you laughed like it was ok!!!"

"I don't know what you're talking about! I didn't hurt anyone!"

"You're covered in blood! You did more than hurt someone!!!"

"Hey Lau take it easy maybe-"

"No! I can't...... I can't believe you, you're a monster...  I guess you can't fix something that's broken if it's being completely shattered to pieces." Laurent backed away from her and ran upstairs and slammed the door behind him. Lumen and Larry look at each other and tried to talk to Claire but she had shut down, becoming unresponsive.

"Claire sweetie we're going to bed, do you need help getting....."

"All that blood off of you?" Larry finished. Lumen shoved an elbow harshly into his son's stomach and Larry whimpered.

".........."

"Claire?"

"I-I ok....... I'll be ok, I'm fine."

I couldn't sleep now I couldn't get those bodies out of my head. I turn to face my clock an I groan, it was 3:16 in the morning. I opened my door and heard crunching under my feet I had stepped on a piece of paper and I looked down.

"I really am getting tired of these." I say to myself as I pick the pink of paper with beautiful handwriting and I knew it wasn't anything of Locale's.

Larry, I'm truly sorry that you now see me as a monster, I guess Lau was right you can't fix what's broken if it's been shattered to pieces. I'm sorry for what I've done and I'll make sure that you'll never see me again ever, goodbye and thank you for all you have done, Claire.

"Shit!" I darted down the stairs and out of my apartment building and scrambled, thinking of where she might have gone but I didn't know where, she was just as closed off to me as Lau was when we first met, so it was difficult to pinpoint what places she would go to clear hermits and that's when I thought of the roof. I sprinted up the steps and opened the large steel for I see a girl with pink hair crying as she sits watching the dark sky.

"Hey Claire."

"Oh, why did you come looking for me?" She cried shaking her head.

"Because you can't leave a note like this and expect someone to stay away."

"Why not, everyone hates me now and Laurent won't even look at me." Claire's cries grew deeper when she mentioned Laurent and I took her in my arms holding her so she could have someone to cry on instead of being alone.

"I'm sure he'll be okay in the morning......."

I heard the door open but never heard it close. I got up to see if someone had left and I realized Claire and Larry were missing.

"Where did they go?" I walked out of his apartment and closed the door back  hen I heard the faint voice of Larry talking to some one. I make my up the stairs and could hear them clearly but I didn't interrupt.

"I'm sure he'll be okay in the morning, what happened tonight confuses him scares him."

"But I don't know what happened Larry I swear, I would never.......... I can't kill someone. Oh my god, I am a monster."

"No you're not, you're the sweetest little kitten I've ever met, i don't think you killed them but at first glance you cd if cm scare me a little.

"How could you say that?! I murdered two people and I don't even remember doing it! What's wrong with me?!"

"Nothing, nothing is wrong, we all have those days when we snap-"

"Well I'm snapping, I don't have anyone else!" I listened as Claire screamed at the top her lungs at Larry who continued to hold her when lumen came up behind me scaring me half to death.

"It's sad, she really has no one.."

"How so?"

"Her mother and father were killed, and her sister was drowned. Sina and Sienna were behind it all. Although it was meant to be a prank everything had gone horribly wrong."

"What happened?"

"Julia took pride in her kitchen, so the twins thought it would be funny to rig her stove to catch fire. Once it did Julia and Rick never got a chance to get out of the house before it blew to pieces. The terrible part about it is Claire watched it all coming home from my class. As for her sister, Claire trusted the twins with watching the little one at the pool because she couldn't swim. They threw her in and watched her in hopes she would magically learn how to swim however she drowned. When Claire came back from the bathroom, everyone tried every thing to save her, nothing worked."

"Oh my god."

"They never apologized for the trauma they've brought onto her, they thought her demise was amusing to witness, in my opinion, she should've killed them a long time ago..... If she's a monster because of that then I'm just as fucked up as she is, she didn't deserve that, but they deserve every morsel of their lives carved away from them."

"I-"

"I get it you didn't know but no one ever knows what someone has been through when they jump to conclusions, next time instead of chastising her, fucking listen..."
