Hey, I'm Melanie. A 14 year old girl, living in a small town on planet earth. Obviously earth.... It's not like there are any other planets I can live on yet. I have tattoos, blah, blah. But after school today, I don't think tattoos make me feel tough anymore.
I come back from school with 5 bruises, and 3 scars on my face. I don't know self defence, so that's part of the problem.
But it's not fair... Everyone thinks school is the best place to be, the school that is cool, movies about school. Even movies about school bullies are all like " OMG! A bully! Oh no!" And then 5 minutes later it's all "be confident ad you'll get over it. Your parents will support you."
And if people think school is like that, their blind. The only thing I've learned from school was to never get it "Wendy's way." As people say.
I've learned to control my emotions... My sadness... Anger... But I can't control pain. I go to the bathroom and get some healing cream. It's such a shame I have to use this.
Everyone calls me a phycopath, because they think I don't have emotions. And that is not true. I can control them for some reason. Oh well, I've dealt with all kinds of bullied that I don't care what others think anymore.

The only thing that calms me down after a long day is playing an instrument. I have three stolen ones... Let's just say I don't have very good parents that will buy me instruments. I have an old violin, piano and a recorder. I reach out to my violin, and see a strange looking white circle. What the hell is that? I panic, then take deep breaths. it's probably just a giant bracelet. No problem. All I need to do is pick it up and move it aside or throw it out my bedroom window.
So I pick it up.

And I immediately feel overwhelmed..... Is it power I feel.... Anger.... Desire for revenge... No. It's all. I look in the mirror and see my eyes glowing red. I don't care. It looks good on me.
Narrator: I want to say that Melanie turned back to normal... But she became like the mad hatter, and turned into a crybaby which wasn't like her at all. She cried and cried, and tree her car out the window from 5 stories high. She killed her cat. And, eventually tried to kill her mother.
She tried poisoning her with milk and cookies, and alas, it worked.
