A Sun Lit Path

Chapter 22 "The Mind of a Psycho"

Now I would like to tell you how I met Margret in the past and why we all fear her so much. Let me explain, it all started back in elementary school. I was in sixth grade. It was almost the end of school until I move to middle school. During my last day of elementary school, I met Margret. It was a good idea at first but I did not know what would come later on when I got older. I talked to Margret and we bonded over our shared interest in anime. We had not kept in touch for a while because she did not have a phone. However, in middle school, we had a couple of classes together and mostly talked and goofed off. We stayed as friends for the rest of middle school...but then...everything changed when I reached ninth grade.

Ninth grade was the downfall of my friendship with Margret. She changed, like a lot. She was not her quiet, introverted self anymore. She was loud, rebellious, and down right scary. Me being the idiot I was I stayed friends with her and introduce her to some of my other friends. That being Terri & Jess. The first sign that I knew Margret changed was not her style of clothing. I remember her always having a black long sleeve shirt no matter the weather, gray overalls with a heart in the middle, thigh-high boots with tiny heels on them and her lipstick that looks like coral blue number two semi-gloss lipstick. The day that I knew she changed was in the library after school. Margret was talking to all of us, she was basically dominating the conversation. Until Jess walked in looking all sad. Margret continued to talked even though Jess looked like she was about to burst into tears. I interrupted Margret and asked Jess what's wrong. She told us her cat died during school. Me and Terri tried to comfort Jess but Margret had a irritated, almost pissed off look at us. Me and Terri walked away from Jess to ask the librarian for some tissues, until her heard a loud scream in agony. It was Jess. We rushed right over to Jess and saw her hand had a piece of pencil lead inside her palm. Blood was rushing out quickly so me and Terri took Jess and rushed her to the school nurse. During that time of panic in the library I saw that Margret was not paying attention to us while Jess was screaming in pain. Margret did not have her earbuds in. But her pencil has a broken tip. The lead must have broken off. I was scared out of my mind thinking about it, Margret stabbed Jess. I asked Jess if Margret stabbed her and she did not know. Her vision was blurred by her tears.

Margret was threat to behold. I told the school about it, the O-side school staff and they did nothing. It was like they did not care for the well being of their students! After that Margret continued to stay with us. During our times in the library, she would continue to horrible actions towards us. Like stomping on our foots until it was all bruised, mashing our figures until it was all purple, and she "accidentally" spilled her organic kelp juice on me which stained my favorite shirt and pants. Me, Terri, and Jess were scared of her. Us three even went to the school again but they still did NOTHING! They did not care for us for some ungodly reason. When I was in tenth grade things got even more worse.

Margret found out about Ryan, Joey, and Simon. One time Margret made the suggestion that we should play Dungeons and Dragons together. Me, Terri, and Jess were forced to say 'yes' in fearing of what she would do to us if we said 'no.' Ryan, Joey, and Simon said yes willingly. A bad move. When we started playing Dungeons & Dragons together Ryan & Simon goofed off. Margret was the Dungeon Master so she made the rules kinda. She threaten to kill off Ryan & Simon's character if they continued to goof off. She also did some other stuff to their characters but I do not remember all that much. I remember one thing though. The most horrible memory of all...Let me explain. On our final Dungeons and Dragons meet Ryan and Simon still goofed off while Me, Terri, and Jess feared for our lives. Joey was the only one wanted to get stuff done. Margret had enough of their bull-crap and pulled out her signature weapon to silence us forever...the wooden spoon. That thick heavy kitchen utensil nearly killed one of us. Let me explain. Ryan was still goofing off making jokes while saying a lot of memes. Margret was fed up with his shit and pulled out her wooden spoon. Ryan was like 'What ya gonna do with that?' and Margret slapped him across the face with the spoon causing his cheek to be all blue. I had enough with this unending torment and stood up for myself and for Ryan. Margret was mad with power and slapped me harder across the face with the wooden spoon. The slap was so hard I lost one of my wisdom teeth. My mouth was severely bleeding. I had so much fear in me that my anger was gone. Joey stood up for the both of us and tried to take away Margret's spoon. She had so much strength holding that spoon that Joey lost grip of the spoon causing him to fall backwards and Margret got close to him and continue to beat him up with the spoon. Joey stayed on the floor curled up into a ball. He could not protect us. Margret sat back down with a smug grin on her face and we continued to play while Joey was the hard cold floor nearly crying.

After our final Dungeons and Dragons session winter break came for us. We were free from Margret and deiced to taken action against her. We kicked her and added her in the group chat while DMing her stupid shit like "Boogey Woogie Woogie Woogie." She finally had enough of our shit and left the group. We never saw her again until the unfaithful day. July 17th 2019 was date of Ryan's birthday party. We all had a fun time playing Mario Party 8 and Wii Sports. It was a fun time until we heard the doorbell rung. We thought it was the pizza man but no, it was Margret. Once Ryan opened to door we all were frozen solid and Ryan let Margret in his house in fearing of what she would do to us. What would she have done? Climbed through the window? Opened the back door? Innocent shit like that or break the window with rock and force her way in?! It did not help that Ryan's parents were not home. Margret was with us, chilling in Ryan's room until she made the suggestion to make everyone come outside. Margret was in charged now. We followed her orders like some brainwashed slaves. She made all of walk outside into Ryan's backyard and forced everyone but me to go to a secluded area. Margret took me to the far corner of Ryan's backyard and she told me to close my eyes. I did until I felt something wrapped around my neck. It was small like a strap to a hand pug purse. It got tighter and tighter around my neck. I could not breath, I could not gasp for help, I could not even fight. I was being chocked. This was Margret's plan all along. To show that she had the power and no one could fight back against her. I lost my vision and my limbs went numb. Margret did a final quizzed and unloosed the strap around my neck causing me to fall face first onto the dirt. Margret walked away and forced everyone to go back inside. I was about to die and it was because of my stupid idiot ass. I woke up in a hospital room where I could see my mom crying, my dad consulting my mother, and my sister on her phone not paying attention to the situation. She was most likely on snapchat. I woke up and my vision was kinda back to normal. I asked 'what is going on' until I saw Terri walked into my hospital room. They told me what happened after Margret chocked me. Jess called the Special Forces while Margret was in the middle of chocking me. They took away Margret to a detention center. That happened three days ago. I was passed out for three days! It was confirmed that Margret did chocked me with a simple DNA test on her little purse strap. Margret went juvie and she was forced to stay their for eight years and then we never saw her again. Until what happened today.
