The Curse

     The birth of one Kimberly Ann Hart who was the child of some notoriously bad people. Her parents were criminals known everywhere long and far, and they were so notorious that the news of their horrendous acts reached Mount Olympus. Both of her parents had been killed as revenge from the gods for what they have done. However, her parents death wasn't until a year after she was born, so the gods feared what they saw as the almost literal spawn of evil when they learned the news of Kimberly's birth. In fear of what Kim could become, the gods cursed her hoping it was enough to keep her from turning to the dark side even though the curse they put on her was way more than she could ever fathom herself doing. The curse is that she has to kill any man she falls in love with. It's ironic how the gods solution to evil was a punishment that would lead to murder, but they saw that as right and just. Now as she grows older, this curse actually does take effect on her life because she is one that falls in love fast and hard.

     Her first relationship was when she was around 14 years old and she falls for a boy by the name of Ty. By the time she starts dating Ty, she is informed of her curse by her grandmother. Ty is known as the "bad boy" of Angel Grove because of his rebellious nature. However, he is one of the most popular kids at Angel Grove High along with head cheerleader Kimberly Hart. The pairing was cliche at best, but Kim can't help her feelings even if she knows he's a bad influence on her. Ty and Kim date for around 3 years when Kim realizes she has fallen for him. Sadly, at the age of 17, she kills her first love. Luckily, the relationship was as toxic as it could get, so the murder, though a horrible crime, was not the saddest thing that could happen.

     Kim doesn't mean to, but at the hidden lake in the woods of Angel Grove, she is swimming with Ty when a rush of fear and anger washes over her. In almost the blink of an eye she has Ty held underwater. In Kim's head all she wants to do is stop, but she can't for the life of her release her hold on Ty's neck. Before she knows it, the air bubbles above Ty and the jerking of his body underwater come to a stop. Then she is finally able to get control over herself again and releases him, she drags herself and Ty out of the water and to the shore trying everything to save him, but she slowly realizes her efforts are useless. By this point, night is upon her, and she doesn't know what to do because she doesn't want to go to jail if she calls 911. In her state of shock, she chooses not to call 911 considering she already knows he is dead. She knows there is a cemetery nearby due to all the time she spends in her hiding place, so she decides to hide the body.

     She then approaches the cemetery with Ty's body in tow (luckily she works out, making it slightly easier for her to carry him). She finds a shovel and digs into an already dug out grave for a service happening the next day (look at that luck).  After hours of digging she finally had a hole large enough to fit Ty's body and tosses it in there and begins covering it up. As dawn breaks, she is finally done and rushes home to get out of there as soon as possible.

     This one event lead to Kim's downward spiral from head cheerleader and top bitch, to a nobody. She becomes depressed and always paranoid that someone somehow knows what she did. However, practically everyone believes Ty ran away from home which is supported by his bad boy attitude and his rebellious nature. Even his own parents believe that happened and he was 18 around this time, so his parents legally have no hold over him. Also, this wouldn't have been the first time Ty ran away, but Kimberly stayed paranoid. The paranoia and fear lead her down a dark path and she begins skipping most of her classes which leads her to being put in detention almost all the time. She doesn't really talk to anyone in there, but she people watches and has noticed the strange mix of people in detention. She recognizes the ex-quarterback Jason, and she always sees this one shy kid who is usually drawing something that Jason protected that one time from the annoying ass bully. There is also another boy who seems to be a loner and rarely shows up, but he does on occasion. She has almost definitely never seen that kid before at school. Finally, she sees this one girl in there who is usually listening to music with her beanie on. She is pretty sure she has heard her name at least once, maybe it was Trixie or something like that, but she can't seem to recall. Kim always seems to find her blank stare somehow land on that girl, and for some reason there is this small, barely noticeable, flutter she feels in her stomach when she sees her. The girl has seemed to catch her gaze more than a couple of times, but the most Kim has ever gotten from beanie girl (since she doesn't know her name) is a small smile. These four people she doesn't actually know, but for some reason feels a connection to them.
