The Last One is Always the Worst for Katherine Howard

Another Story

TW: attempted cutting honestly there may be more stuff idk yet

One week before school

Anne's p.o.v

It's been a few months since Jane shared, and the day after Anna had shared then a month later Catherine had shared, now I'm sitting here waiting for Cathy to tell her story.

"Anne please promise not to freak out at any moment during this, I am sorry for everything I did I never wanted her to get hurt," I stare at her for a moment what could she mean. "I did have a few marriages and they all kept dying, then I fell in love with Thomas Seymour, but little did I know he was." Cathy looks towards me guilt in her eyes. "He was raping Elizabeth, and by the time I found out I sent her away because I didn't know what to do." 

I walk out of the room, tears starting down my cheeks, it's not her fault she didn't know, still it hurts that I wasn't there to protect her. I walk into my room, not bothering to close my door as I grab a blade, until I hear a voice, "Don't you fucking dare, put the knife down and talk to me." I turn around to see Jane standing in the doorway. I nod and drop the blade, standing up. "It's not your fault and it's not Cathy's, It's mine if you hadn't died then you could have protected her, and it's my fault you died, but it's in the past we need to let it go." I nod again, my legs growing weak and collapsing underneath my weight.

One day later

After spending an entire day crying and trying to forgive Cathy we had decided to spend today more productive, by getting school supplies. Kat, Cathy, Anna and I were in target trying to find all the supplies on the list, so far all we had was a blue book bag for Cathy and a pink backpack for Kat.

"Look, there is a green school bag right there, and Anna here's a red backpack." Cathy says annoyed that they had only gotten their bags, I was starting to look at notebooks and was already picking some out, whereas kitty was looking at markers and colored pencils.

After we had gotten everything we payed and went back to the car, but just as I was about to step in Anna spoke, "You know, you two are the last people who need to tell their story, I mean you don't have to yet but it would make it easier to vent." Kat began to look uncomfortable while I maintained a neutral look.

"I guess I could share but I want a week to prepare and feel things out, because as bad as your life was, mine was worse there is no topping me." I look at Cathy who nods and then at Kat who looks down, and lastly at Anna who shrugs.

"Don't let Catherine hear you say that." I scoff, knowing if I did it would start another fight that would take a few weeks to get over.

~~~~~~TIME SKIP~~~~~~ 

Me and Kitty are sitting in my room when she asks, "Do you ever wonder why our scars bleed every time something triggering happens?" I look up, and stare at her confused, "Doesn't your scar bleed." I shake my head, what's going on does her scar bleed, I continue to look at her, still confused but also worried. "I got this letter the day I woke up and it said something about you scar bleeding if you haven't gotten over your past life."

"What exactly happened in your past life?" I ask, her face suddenly drops.

"I have to go, I wanna get a drawing done." She quickly scrambles out of my room before I can stop her, something is wrong with that girl and I'm gonna find out what. I quickly grab my phone and start to text.
