Callie Sanders a girl who was an all so perfect yet imperfect being. Her dark brown hair and brown eyes dazzled everyone. But now she's broken. Today I'm here to tell you what happened. They call it The Callie Incident.

November 26, 2015 was the day this happened. Everyone thought it was a random night. Callie said she was just laying in bed home alone when the door bell rang. She opened the door only to see a cardboard box laying on her doorstep. She grabbed the box and took it inside. Callie then opened it and saw only one card laying inside. She opened it and it said "Look behind you." Callie then turned around to seeing a figure dressed in a black costume cloak then chucked a match to the ground and the house lit up in flames. Callie ran to get safe and call 911 but it was to late the fire smoke had knocked her out.

She woke up to seeing herself laying in a hospital bed. A nurse waltzes in.
"Hey whats going on? My leg really hurts." Callie asks in confusion.
"A few hours ago you got into a fire accident. You passed out and you were brought here." The nurse replies.
"Am I gonna be okay?" Callie asks frightened for an answer.
"Yes. But there is life long affects of what happened." The nurse replies with a sad grin.
"Tell me what's wrong!" Callie says terrified.
"Well you got burnt in the face they are permanent burns and your leg is injured." The nurse says with a sad tone.
"WHAT?!" Callie answers.
Callie told me that the nurse had said she was close to a broken leg from slamming to the ground after she passed out. But the real question who was in the black cloak? Callie said that she remembers seeing Sam take down the hood and run away. After Callie confessed that everyone had seen Sam as the insane girl. From that point on Sam the queen bee had fallen from her throne and her second in hand Abby had taken her place. Callie never went to the police with the information.

A few days later Callie had fallen down and bent her leg in a bad position. She described the pain as the worst most piercing pain she had ever felt. She said it felt like someone had stabbed a blade straight through her leg. Callie was brought to the hospital with a broken leg. Considering she had already fractured it and fell again it had it's last straw.

The next day Callie wheeled to my house like a little kid on a bike for the first time. She told me everything. She had worn a mask covering her burns and scars.
"I'm leaving town my parents want to move because they're afraid Sam will bully me if I return to school." She says.
"Wait so you're parents know you saw her that night?" I ask confused.
"Yes the only reason they aren't telling the police is because I begged them not to." Callie replies.
The only reason her parents would do that was because she was and still is spoiled only because she's an only child.

The Sanders had left the town a few days later with out any notice. Callie only has contacted me once since she left and it was a text saying..."Watch out for Sam. She's dangerous." It's time to figure out why she did what she did.
