Kobs door slowly opened.
She let out a sigh and limped into her room. It was storming outside, so her purple hair was completely ruined.
Kob put her bags by her dresser, and sat on the bed. She propped her leg on her pillow and lifted up her pants leg. Alley had thrown a flask at her leg. There was a few cuts here and there, but the big gash in her leg is what she was afraid of. She limped around the house and searched the cabinets for anything that could help heal the wound.
She found alcohol, and medical tape. She took the tape, but left the alcohol. that would only make it worse,She had learned that the hard way. She decided the best thing to do was run water over it, and use soap to clear out any bacteria.
She sat on the bathroom counter and put her leg under the sinks faucet.
Blood ran down her leg, it almost looked like she was bleeding out. She wanted to look away but she couldn't. It was happening again.
Kob was 6, she sitting in the kitchen, eating her cereal her mother had fixed up for her. She could hear her mother and father fighting. She thought nothing of it, it happened all the time. But she grew uneasy, it started to sound more violent by the minute. She remembered how her mom had picked her up and began to walk outside. She looked at her dog as she was carried away. He was a Bichon Frise, about 9 months old at the time. There was a loud bang, her father had knocked her mother against the corner of the marble counter.
Blood. It was everywhere. Kob was on the ground. She looked at her hands, now covered in red. She got up, grabbed her puppy, and hid under the table. She watched as her mother was beaten senselessly. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she buried her face in her puppy's fur.
She snapped back to reality. She was now on the floor, and tears were streaming down her face. She wiped her eyes and got back on the counter and began washing the wound again, looking away this time.
"God damn it, don't do that to yourself",
she mumbled under her breath.
After it was cleaned, she wrapped the wound in the medical tape and went to bed. Her dog curled up next to her head. He liked to lick her face, kob thought it was gross. "Laz, stop that." She said. And shooed him away.
He whined, and laid on the foot of the bed.
"Goodnight."
A bloody counter top.
drip, drip, drip
"I'll be taking over soon Kob, just wait."
Kob opened her eyes, she was sleep crying again.
Lucky for her, it was 7:38, she had just enough time to get ready for class.
She put on her hoodie. It was a strange design, it was half of a star, and the other half was an oval. But kob loved it.
She began her walk to school, and avoided all contact with any other people on her way there. She wasn't much of a talker.
Class was boring.
It went as usual, spitballs, insults from across the room, an occasional hair pull.
She was tapping her pencil on her desk, completely distracted from her geometry worksheet.
She thought about her dog, it was her only friend after all. She couldn't wait to see him again.
She let out a sigh, and looked back down at her paper. There was a strange design. it was a square, with a pointed line going through it.
But she blinked and it was gone.
"Soon."
"AGH" she stood out of her chair.
Everyone looked at her like she was a maniac, but there was a voice. Right in her ear.
The bell rang.
She was walking and thinking about what had happened. What was that voice... it was female? There was only 1 girl in her class, but she sat across the room.
Kob fell to the ground.
"Fuck!"
She landed on the side of her face.
Aley had tripped her.
"What the fuck is wrong with you? I heard about how you freaked out in class."
Kob silently got up and walked away.
"Maniac."
She kept walking.
tears
She was crying in the bathroom again. This happened every day and Kob hated it. She was washing her face. She didn't even want to be alive. But she had to be there for her dog. He was the only thing keeping her going.
"Hey, freak."
Alley was doing her makeup in the mirror next to her.
"I don't know why you think you can walk away from the fact that nobody loves you."
Kob stayed silent.
"Cmon idiot, are you fucking deaf?"
Silence, but anger grew.
"Cmon cunt, answer me!"
Kob felt a pulse in her head.
Her eyes glistened red.
"I am going to kill you."
Before aley could make a remark, Kob tore off the sink faucet, and whacked Aley in the stomach.
She staggered back.
"How did I do that?"
Kob kicked her in the knee, and she fell on the ground. Blood slowly ran from her mouth.
"You... fucking... psycho."
Kob's eyes shifted back to sky blue and she dropped the faucet.
She started to Cry, and she stood back
Kob bolted out of the building and into the street.
Cars zoomed past her. She turned looking for a place to go.
"Soon."
Kob screamed and cried.
There was nowhere to go.
She broke down into tears. She laid in the middle of the road laying in the fetal position, sobbing. It was over. It was the end.
"Soon."
"Soon."
"Soon."
"SOON."
