⠀⠀⠀⠀Kendall Vertes wrinkled her snub nose as the elderly shop clerk behind the counter passed her the plastic bag, which was adorned with a bright cartoon drawing of Mickey Mouse, and then her small amount of copper change after that. This was why she hated going to Disneyland, since she had to spend some of her own precious money on purchasing souvenirs for her greedy sisters, Ryleigh and Charlotte. The two girls weren't cheap either, and expected gifts from the more expensive direction. ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Thanks," Kendall said in that voice that made you think she was a brat, and Kendall turned on her heel and left the shop. Outside, the darkening sky showed that it was getting late, but Kendall knew she still have time before her bus would be here to take her back to the hotel, where the rest of her friends, the people she was here with, were. There wasn't very many people left in the park, and the dribs and drabs of what was left were families trailing out of the restaurants, full the brim with delicious food. ⠀⠀⠀⠀The brunette glanced down to her watch, a Mickey Mouse one that she'd purchased just that morning, and swore under her breath. She'd gotten the time wrong and where she thought she had an hour, turns out her bus was leaving there and then. Kendall was a girl that was never late, and usually early, so now she freaked out entirely and broke into a sprint as she ran in the direction of the bus station, which just so happened to be on the other side of the park. ⠀⠀⠀⠀Kendall and the rest of her friends had been in Disneyland for a week so far, and would be staying for another four and her friends had dedicated the day to the pool, back at their hotel whereas the brunette herself had decided to use the spare time to go and buy some gifts. She was rather surprised that none of her friends had texted her yet, wondering where Kendall had got to. Kendall had told them what time she'd be back, and she'd said the bus before, so that they could be up in the hotel room to open the door since there hadn't been enough keys for each of them to get a key. ⠀⠀⠀⠀Her knees, which suffered from osgood-schlater disease, were beginning to ache and Kendall made a mental note to put her gel on them when she got back to the hotel, since her mother had forced her to take it, even though it would be embarrassing when Kendall was applying it. The bus station was nearing her, Kendall could tell, as she saw the neon letters above where you wait for the bus blinking in the dark landscape. ⠀⠀⠀⠀There was a few people waiting, if Kendall's eyes told her rightly, and the bus was there and letting them get on. She sped up, dodging bollards and other obstacles until she was within touching distance of the bus. Within touching distance of the bus that pulled away. ⠀⠀⠀⠀Tears rose in Kendall's eyes and she sat down underneath the bus stop, her head in her hands, and started to sob. She was stuck here now, unless she phoned a taxi and Kendall didn't know how to phone one of those in this foreign place, for the whole night and she would have to wait for the first bus to arrive in the morning to be able to get back to the hotel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀Grabbing her phone from her pocket, Kendall attempted to switch the power on, just so that she could text her friends and tell them that she was stranded in the park with no way to get back to the hotel. A black screen popped up, with a red battery logo in the centre of it. Her phone was dead. ⠀⠀⠀⠀The powerless phone didn't do much to help Kendall, and her sobs grew stronger and louder as the full impact of the situation dawned on her. She hadn't eaten dinner, since she expected to get some food when she got back to the hotel, and her lunch had been small since she felt sick, and now she was starving. Kendall had no water, no food, no contact to anyone else, and no way to get to any of these things. ⠀⠀⠀⠀Kendall, being someone who jumped to conclusions very quickly, felt sick as she decided what would happen to her here. "I'm going to die," she muttered, as she watched the lights above her slowly start to fade and eventually go dull and dark completely. ⠀⠀⠀⠀She was scared of the dark as well, and Kendall hugged her knees into her chest as more sobs escaped her throat in strangled cries. All of the shops were closing now, and the world around her was growing darker by the second as various shop front lights were turned off and all of the employees left, walking past Kendall without a second glance as they made their ways to their cars. ⠀⠀⠀⠀Silence soon settled over the park, and Kendall sat there trembling for hours as she tried to calm her fears, to no avail of course. The absence of noise gave everything an eerie tinge, from the Mickey Mouse toys in the shop windows, white eyes gleaming in the absence of light, to the flickering bus station lights above Kendall, occasionally, albeit not frequently, bathing her in the glow of the letters. ⠀⠀⠀⠀She heard the branch crack at maybe 1am, but her phone couldn't tell her since it was dead and she couldn't read her watch in the darkness. A foot hit a branch, and there was the impacting noise, which scared the hairs off of Kendall's neck, and she grabbed onto the seat just so that she wouldn't faint. Someone was there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀The axe hit her hard, colliding with her head and causing her skull to splinter and little fractures of it to fly everywhere. Silver metal against her brain, it carried on its collision course, until Kendall's head was fully split in half, leaking blood out of everywhere. The top half of Kendall's head slid to the ground and lay there discarded, as the owner of the axe ran away quickly, as to not get caught.
