Creepypasta origins stories

Zero

A young girl with carmel colored hair and green eyes sits in her front lawn, the warm summer sun beating down on her pale skin covered in bruises. To think, this sweet young girl was being violently hit by her peers a just hours before. Alice was her name, she was a kind and intelligent girl but didn't seem to have many friends, so she often spend time alone creating her own friends, imaginary friends if you will. She had so many of these friends, in fact, she had to name them all numbers just to keep track. Out of them all there was one that stood out in particular, her name was Zero. She was the very first of Alice's imaginary friends, created to protect Alice from all of her bullies. Whenever they would tease or physically beat her, Zero was there to take of them. They were best friends and spend everyday together, telling her stories, jokes and even make fun of Alice's neighbor who was in charge of watching her when her parents had to go out on business. Life wasn't so lonely for Alice.....until that day. As Alice sat on the soft grass, looking down onto the street, she felt a strange sensation, an urge. Something in the back of her mind was telling her to go to the other side of the road. When the idea finally consumed her she skipped down to the small neighbourhood street. Her bare feet hit the hot concrete, carefully watching each step as she crossed. When she looked up she saw something come towards her, a large white truck. Eyes wide in horror, she stood there in shock bracing for impact. A loud screeched of rubber against the concrete, the vehicle spun past her tumbling down the large hill opposite of her home. She heard the crunching of metal and a woman's scream as it kept rolling until it hit a large tree at the base. Only a moment later the dismantled vehicle burst into flames, smoke climbing the side of the tree. Alice's pale eyes stared down at the tragedy as the drivers door opened and someone fell out, desperately crawling, grabbing at the forest floor. Alice's father stared up the hill at his loving daughter, covered in his own crimson blood and bright red flames. He screamed but couldn't move, his leg caught between the wheel and the metal, pain flowing through his body before his screams were silenced and he stopped moving. As the red flames consume the scene, she saw someone in passenger seat, her loving mother, burning to death in the flames. Alice fell to her knees, warm tears flowing down her cheeks, her nose dripping down her chin. "MOMMY!! DADDY!!" She screamed, witnessing everything in horrific detail. Grief and sorrow filled her entire body, replaying the scene over and over in her head. Red flames and crimson blood was the last she saw of her parents on the warm summer day.

After her parents accident her neighbor, Mr. Rogers, took her in out of guilt. She hated him, he was dirty, fat man who was drunk almost every minute of everyday. But she hated him even more for not watching her that day, because of him...she killed her parents. But there was no one else, no family no friends, she was left alone, misery being her only company.

Many years later, the light brunette sits in her history class, doodling little cartoon people in her sketchbook. As she went went from drawing someone's hair, something violently snapped her out of concentration. A wrinkled hand over a quiz with a large zero on it covered her work. "Alice, I suggest you actually pay attention in my classroom, you do not need another zero." Said Alice's wrinkly old history teacher.
Alice suddenly felt her head pound. Something about what she just said...bothered her, but she didn't know what it was.
"Y-yes Mrs. Kirt." Alice said, not making eye contact.
As she sat in class, pretending to know what was going on, but her head continued to ache more and more until she felt like she was going to be sick. She asked to be excused, and quickly ran to the restrooms.
Alice splashed cold water onto her burning face, looking up at the mirror. But she jumped back heart pounding, when she saw her reflection. She swore she saw herself......blink.
A few hours later, she sits in her art class, watching her classmates work on their projects. While doing so, her hand slips and cuts her hand pretty deeply with a razor blade, red liquid spilling out on her work. But she felt nothing. Before she knew it the teacher was staring at her, eyes wide, and rushed her to the nurse.
When she returned, she hid her face and walked back to her seat. But froze before she sat down, red circles completely covered her work and desk. He whole situation made her shake, as and as soon as the bell rung, she ran out into the halls.
Before she left campus, she was greeted by a familiar smile.
"Hello Alice!"And welcome to Wonderland!" The short blonde girl with brown eyes said, throwing her arms up, gesturing to the entire street as if to be a surprise.
"Can you not, Ann." Alice said slightly annoyed.
"C'mon, lighten up. Anyways, gonna do that homework?" Ann said, resting her hands behind her head, catching snowflakes with her small pink tongue.
"You'll have to do your own work eventually, you know. I'm not going to be here forever."
"Yes you are, cuz I'm not gonna let you leave." Ann said, throwing her arms around Alice's shoulder as they walked down the cold winter road.
As they continued to walk, joking and gossiping to each other, they finally reached Ann's home. They said there goodbyes, then Alice reliantly walked into the forest. She loved it, it was so peaceful, the yellow sun hitting the untouched white terrain and the thin shadows of the leafless trees. The only thing that bothered her was it meant she was going back to that horrid place some would call a home. She opened the creaking door and slowly, silently entered the cold house. She held her breath walking through the living room.
"There you are, you little bitch!" yelled a gruff man as he grabbed her arm.
Alice squeaked as he yanked her back looking straight into her eyes with disgust. Alice's face turned bright red as the knot filled her throat.
"What's this!? Huh!" he said, pulling her into the kitchen pointing at the counter covered in beer cans and microwave meal cases.
Shit! I forgot to clean this morning! She through to herself.
"S-Sorry, I just had to get to scho-" she was silenced by the sold of Mr. Rogers across her face.
"I don't need your stupid excuses! Don't let it happen ever again! Or you'll regret it, I swear." he said throwing her to the tile floor, walking back into the living room, slumping his large round body onto the dusty couch.
Alice quickly stood up, throwing away garbage and cleaning the counters in a silenced panic. This wasn't uncommon, whenever she did anything wrong, there was the angry drunk man to beat her, so she did as she was told and hid in her room.
She held back the emotions boiling inside, sadness, confusion and rage. Afterwards she quickly walked up the steps to her small bedroom. It was a dark room, the walls covered with her favourite drawings, a small bed in the centre and a dresser in the corner. This was her only escape, the only place she could be free. No one came in, only her, no one else.
The next day's he walked through the snow filled woods and emerged onto the road on the other end, speed walking down the sidewalk. She did not cross the road today, she just quickly walked, her favourite black hoodie covering her large black and blue gash on her face. She couldn't tell anyone, who knows what Mr. Rogers would do...
"Alice! Hey, wait up!" said a familiar voice from behind.
"Hey, Ann." Alice responded with a monotone voice, back still facing her.
Ann caught up, grabbing Alice's shoulder as she caught her breath. Alice turned her head, looking out into the forest as Ann walked beside her.
"What's with the hood? Selling some drugs?" Ann giggled to herself.
"No, just.....you know.....cold." she said blandly.
Ann smirked and ripped off the hood, her eyes widened.
"Oh my god! What happened! Are you ok?" Ann said closely inspecting the black eye.
"Yeah, yeah! I'm fine I just......slipped am hit it on the counter top." She said, softly giggling nervously.
Ann looked at her face sternly. She knew Alice was lying, something was up.
"Hmm, if you say so. Just, if you need someone, just know I'm always there for you." She said throwing her arm over her shoulder in confidence.
Alice nodded as the two girls walked towards the school.
Her day continued, people starred at her eye as she walked by, a few people asking about it and she gave them all the same answer, "it was an accident."
This was uncommon for her, usually people ignored her, not giving her even a glance. But she didn't like all the attention she was getting, so she wore her hood for most of the day. After school she quickly walked out of the building, not waiting for her only friend. She walked across the campus, tripping on the steps of the short stairs, when she saw two figures walk towards her. She looked at the ground, watching the concrete move under her feet. As she walked, a foot blocked her steps, tripping Alice onto the hard concrete floor. Her hand and elbows stopped her fall mostly but sent her notebooks and sketchbook flying in front of her. Red face with embarrassment, she squirmed onto her knees, grabbing her books in a panic.
Laughing burst everywhere around her, her face turning into a deep red.
Sure, now people notice me. She thought to herself.
As she grabbed the last notebook she felt something hit the back of her head, brown liquid jumped in every direction, chocolate milk dripping off her bangs and onto her face. She froze, something tugged at the back of her mind. She felt her blood boil with rage until.....she just......snapped.
Dropping everything, she got up, spun around and ran towards one of figures that had tripped her. The tall boy's eyes opened in shock as Alice's fist hit him in the gut, reaching up into his ribcage. He fell back wheezing, coughing up.....blood. As he sat on the concrete
hugging his stomach her knee rammed into the side of his head. He coughed up more crimson when.....Alice grabbed his leg and, with her foot, broke it. A loud crack echoed against the brick walls of the school. She went for his arm when she saw the second figure run towards her. She dodged his punch slamming her elbow into his back, sending his body towards the concrete. The shorter boy quickly spun around, Alice sitting atop his stomach, punching his damaged face, over and over and over, until you could see blood pour from his nose and
mouth. He struggled to stop her, but was too weak, he had no choice but to just take each and every blow.
"ALICE! STOP!" she heard someone yell, running towards the scene.
She looked up, hand positioned for another punch, but stopped once she saw the horrified look on everyone's faces, including Ann's.
She snapped out of what ever terrible phrase she had entered and looked down at her bloody knuckles and mangled face of the boy.
What did I do! This isn't me, I didn't do this! Least I didn't mean to! She thought, tears filling her eyes.
She quickly stood, backing away from the two mangled victims, and ran off school grounds, towards the forest.
She ran into her bathroom, rummaging through the cabinet, searching for medicine to clean the wounds she had caused herself. She poured alcohol onto  the cuts and used to wash off the blood. She watched the small white bubbles foam inside each cut on her hands and her elbow. Once she bandaged her wounds, she rested her hands on the counter and starred at herself in the bathroom mirror.
"What did I just do? Did I-I snap? Had I done this before?" she whispered to herself, questions swimming around in her head.
"Oh, no.....of course not. I just had to protect you....." her mouth answered, using her own voice.
Alice jumped back, eyes widened, face pale. Her reflection just spoke to her.
"What! Who are you!" she asked, shaking.
After a long pause, the raspy voice finally spoke once more.
"I am your best friend. Don't you remember?" said her lips.
Tears ran down her warm cheeks. Her head began to pound as she fell to the ground, grasping her head, screaming. The voice was inside her head, screaming the same phrase over and over again.
Don't you remember me, Alice. I'm your best friend....your only friend....
