Twisted •Jerome Valeska

•chapter 2•

Last night I slept surprisingly good, the beds were comfortable and I got used to the screaming.

I looked through the bars in my door, I could see into the cell across from me, there was a girl about 17, she had Blonde hair and was very pale. She sat down with her back against the wall. I studied her face and features, I could tell she had been in here a while. Under her eyes there were rings of purple, her lips were chapped and broken.She was pretty thin too.

The guards finally came and let us out of our cells, I had no idea where to go so I followed everyone else.

They let me to a room to witch I'm guessing is the recreation room. It was a big room with tables and chairs scattered around.

I didn't want to go near anyone yet so I decide to just get my breakfast and sit in the corner of the room alone.

The breakfast was a stale piece of bread with slop in the middle. I pushed it away from me.

I didn't feel like going back to my cell yet so I decide to put my head down on the table.

After a few minutes I heard the chair in front of me being pulled out and someone going to sit down in it. It was the girl that I seen this morning.

"Hi, I'm Sophie" She says flashing a toothy smile. "Nice to meet ya, I'm Katie". she grabs another chair from beside her and puts her feet up on it, "so what are you in for?"

•flashback•

I was up in my room listening to music with my friend Megan before school when I heard the sound of glass breaking and my dad screaming. we both looked at each other then ran downstairs. we got down I heard more screaming coming from the kitchen. I seen my mom on top of my dad trying to stab him with a piece of glass.

I tried pushing her off but she kept pushing me off. "Katie do something!" my dad shouts. I just stood there too scared to do anything. I never seen her like this she was always so sweet she couldn't even hurt a fly.

I seen Megan running out into the hall going to get her phone, but she was too late when I looked back over at my dad my mom had already stabbed him in the neck with the piece of glass.

Megan fell to her knees and started sobbing.

My mom looked over at me then to
Megan then to my dad who jn and was lying lifeless below her.

"o-oh my god" she breathed out as the realisation of what she had just done hit her. "w-what did I just do" she got up and started walking towards me. "k-katie-", "don't come near me" I took a step back . "Katie I didn't-I don't, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to" I laughed "oh so what you accidentally stabbed him in the neck!". "Katie you have to believe me I didn't mean-"

I laughed hysterically, she just stood there.

I walked past her and over to where my dad was. I kneeled down beside him

"k-katie" I felt the anger rise up inside me. "p-please" I grabbed the glass from my dads neck and jumped on top of my mom pushing the glass into her stomach,she screamed out in pain. I kept laughing.

I then heard the sound of my front door being kicked in.

"GCPD" a tall man with blonde hair shouts.

I just laughed and laughed and laughed.

He looked at me, then to my mom, then to my dad, he frowned and went over to Megan. "miss,w-who did this" this just made me laugh even more.

"H-her" she sobbed pointing a finger at me. I stopped laughing "me!" I snapped. Megan didn't even say anything she just kept crying. "I didn't do this!" Just then two other officers came into the room and dragged me out to a police car where I was then brought to Arkham.

"Oh so that's why your still covered in blood?" I looks down at my blood soaked clothes "yeah they never gave me a uniform and I had no idea where the showers were" I laughed. She smiled.

"c'mon I'll show you we're the showers"she says getting up off her chairs and walking towards the exit "thank you" I say getting up and following her

"Y'know Katie, I think you and I are going to get along just fine"
