"You like that Katie?"

I open my eyes, and standing over me is… Phil... I think... but it's not... his face is like a cat’s, the whiskers standing out on his pale, sweaty face. And his hair... it’s grown much longer. His one hand is firmly grasped on my breast, the other reaching for his pants. How the hell did this happen?

"Get the fuck off!" I yell, attempting to kick him.

"Freak!”

Phil pulls a cloth out of his pocket, and my vision fades into blackness.

I open my eyes, and light streams through a window… My bedroom window.  I have no recollection of the events of last night, but the pains shooting through my body aren’t a good sign.  My gaze wanders over to my clock, and my clock reads 14:00.

I stumble towards my closet, and a sharp pain shoots through my leg, causing me to cry out

in pain.  Somehow I manage to get ready and walk down the stairs.  Mum insists I eat before I leave, but I can only stomach a bit of toast. Wordlessly I walk out the door, dreading the day before me.
