Revenge

They all thought I was gone, a story gone old. But they were wrong. They probably wanted me gone, so they wouldn't have to waste their time on me. But I'm back now with a purpose. That purpose is to show how much sorrow I've endured in since my death. The people who were in my life will pay. All I want is revenge.

I've watched them live, they were so happy in their own little family. I wanted a family too. My parents were too busy traveling around the world because of their jobs. It saddened me not being able to see them and experience a good childhood. I can barely remember what having a family felt like, let alone having a friend I could trust. Laura seemed to be a great friend, but even greater at not caring and forgetting. I wanted to love. I never had time for that. I was still young. I can never have that chance ever again since I'm, you know, dead. My life was taken from me in the blind of an eye. The only good thing that came from my death is my ability to see and communicate with ghosts. However, they don't seem to speak much or show any real emotion. All they do is walk around and mourn. I find that quite boring.

When I died my body was left on the cold, wooden floor. But not my soul. I found myself standing in front of my lifeless, injured body with disbelief.  I looked up from my body to the top of the stairs. There she was, Bloody Mary, staring at me with a smirk. I screamed at her on. I was furious

"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME, WHAT DID I EVER DO?! ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!" I fell to my knees, crying. I heard a whisper near my ear.

"Silly girl, what ever do you mean? You are the one who called me, remember? You did this to yourself." Her daunting voice made me jump and started crying again.

"The only thing you can do now is avenge yourself. Hanging them, kill them, or why not both? Too bad that won't help bring your life back." she laughed. Her laugh echoed through the large, empty house and silently vanished. She was right, i will find joy in causing misery to the people who hurt me.

I walked through the walls leading me outside and I squint my eyes from being exposed to the brightness of the sun. I was still stuck in my same body, that same little girl. It disgusted me. However, years have passed and thus on the inside, I am a grown woman. Laura and everyone would be adults now. I wish I was still alive. I got teary. "Be strong" is what my parents would say. I don't know if it was also my parents fault because of the cause of my death. At the same time, they still sent me letters and of their time there. So they thought of me when they were away. But they just spent their whole time away from me, their only daughter. My parents are dead, after my death, they quit and spent their time at home like a normal family. The irony I thought. You decide now to be a normal family? I thought to myself constantly. They prayed for me everyday. Not missing a single day. This protected me from all the horrible ghosts.

I thought of killing the ones who left me, one at a time. Maybe a slow death as well, who knows. Laura and the bully along with his friends. I even thought about killing Stanley. Stanley Knuckleberry, my crush. Everyone has forgotten about me. That hurt me just thinking about it. I squeezed my fists, they will pay!

I walked to Laura's house, well, more like hovered. Luckily, she didn't move houses, or it would have been sifficult for me to find her. I looked at the house and all the memories I had with her crashed into me.

"Ugh...talk about visiting memory lane." I took a deep breath and hovered through the door. It still seemed the same, nothing really changed from what I could remember. I hovering to her room and heard giggles and shouting. Once I made it to Laura's room, I found that all the girls who hated from primary high school were there. It was pretty easy to recognise them from their horrible makeup and outfits choices. This made me angrier. Laura grew up, her hair was longer and her face was clear from pimples. She's lost weight as well . I can tell any guy would drool over her.

"Hey Laura! Let's go shopping tomorrow!"

"Haha sure, why not." She in an unrecognisable tone of voice and flicked her hair.

"I hope you don't mind me asking, but remember Violet? How weird was she. She wasn't friends with anyone and no one liked her." She said whilst browsing through her phone carelessly.

"I agree, she was extremely annoying. I can't believe I even hung out with her. I only hung out with her because i felt bad, but also to get close with Stanley" She said with a giggle.

Crack

"Huh, what was that?" Laura said looking around the room.

Suddenly one of the windows shattered on the floor. The girls stood up and screamed.

"What the hell Laura!!"

"Dong look at me, I didn't do that! Someone must've threw a rock through the window." They all looked through the window, no one was there.

"Well..uhm..we better get going. Good luck fixing that window." All the girls quickly grabbed their things and rushed out.

"Ugh, how did the window break. Who knows how much this'll cost to fix!" She said picking up the pieces of glass "You will die" I whispered.

Laura jumped up and accidentally cut her finger.

"Shit!" She said, grabbing her wrist. "What was that?!" She ran downstairs and put on a bandaid.

I was in the corner of her room in the shadows. I was so angry I was about to burst and kill her on the spot. But I was patient and waited for the right moment. After Laura cleaned her room she got ready to have a shower. That was my queue, I followed her to the bathroom. When Laura went into the shower, I was ready.

She started rinsing her hair and applying her shampoo. While she was rinsing off, she looked at her hands and there was blood. She looked up and the water had turned into blood. She screamed and panicked

"What is this?!" She closed her eyes for a few seconds and opened them. The blood was gone.

Laura stepped out of the shower in shock and wrapped the towel around herself. She spotted a flower next to her feet. She picked it up.
"Is that... violet?" She said examining the flower and smelt it.

"Smells beautiful, but what is it doing he-" her voice cut as she realised that her walls were covered in the word "Violet" in blood.

"Oh my god..."

She looked around the walls panicking and trying to read the words.
"Violet.. Violet? Violet..."

She faced the mirror and saw. Laura dropped the flower in shock.

"You called?" I said whilst grinning.

"V-violet??? What are you-...how are you.."

"Let's just say that..your time is up."

"What, What do you mean?"

The room darkened in a blink of an eye, even though it was day time. All you could hear was Laura screaming and begging for help. No one was there to save her, her voice cut and all you could hear was her squealing. The room went back to normal after a few minutes. The floor was covered in blood. Laura was found in the bathtub, soaking in her own blood. She was still alive, but not for long. She was suffering. Just like I did. I watched her. Her neck was cut open and so was her stomach.

I finished her off by stabbing her in the heart and left a violet inside the hole in her chest. I looked down at her.

"I guess you've learnt your lesson from repeating my name three times."
I vanished from the bathroom and made it outside. I suddenly fell on my knees and cried.

"You made me do this Laura!! It's your fault n-not mine!" I slowly got back up.
"There's no time for c-crying..I still have more to do."

I made it to the bullies house. It took me a day to find where he lived.

"It seems as though he's having a party with his friends. I guess it's my lucky day." I stared at the house and began to slowly approach the door.
