The Last One is Always the Worst for Katherine Howard

Half the Truth

A/N school is starting and anne shared the day before

Kitty's p.o.v

Ever since Anne shared I'm the only one who hasn't, and the others are trying to figure out why my mental state is worse than Anne's. I sigh, knowing that it's only a matter of time before they find out, but I will keep it a secret as long as possible. I sigh and start to hum a tune.

I walk over to my piano, that Jane, Anne, and Anna generously gave to me, and start to play, soon I'm singing about my life and writing the lyrics down in a notebook.

All you wanna do
All you wanna do, baby
I think we can all agree I'm a ten amongst these threes
All you wanna do
All you wanna do, baby
And ever since I was a child, I'd make the boys go wild
All you wanna do
All you wanna do, baby

"That's a nice song," someone says, causing me to jump, I turn around to see Jane smiling sweetly, "Anyway it's time for dinner." I nod and grab my notebook. 

I walk out the door and start to feel her eyes staring at the back of my head, I feel the tears start to stream down my face. "H-hey do you mind i-if I-I stay up h-here an-and work on my song." I say turning around to face her.

"Not at all, but let me bring some food up." I nod, it's no use arguing, she would only persist. I walk back to my room, and open my laptop, I wonder what it says about me. I type in 'Life of Catherine Howard'. I look through the results and find a biography, a few words pop out at me;

SLUT

WHORE

VIXEN

FORGOTTEN

The last one hurts more than the other's, no matter how hard I try I will never be remembered like the rest of the queens, especially Anne.  I start to cry, my tears turning into steady streams, but I wipe the tears away when I hear the door open.

"Hey Jane, thanks for bringing up dinner." I say to her as she sets the food on my desk. I fake a smile and move over to the  

~~~~~~Time Skip~~~~~~

Cathy's p.o.v

It's two am and I can hear singing coming from Kitty's room, strange usually I'm the only one up this late, she probably had a nightmare. I get up and walk towards Kat's room, the song begins to get louder as I get closer and I can now hear a few words.

The only thing you wanna do is, mwah.

What the hell is she talking about. I walk into the room and she immediately turns around a look of fear on her face, "Hey Katherine, are you alright." Her eyes widen and she immediately starts to sob.

"G-GO AWAY H-HAVEN'T YOU DONE ENOUGH!" She screams, what the hell is she talking about, "I gave everything to the four of you, what more do you want?" 

"Kat, it's only me, Cathy." Oh crap this is about her life isn't it, I need to get Anne or Jane. I quickly run out the door to Anne's room, "Anne wake up right now we have an emergency." She slowly gets out of bed rubbing her eyes.

"What the hell do you need at this hour, it's two in the morning." 

"It's Kat, I heard her singing and then, when I went to see if she was okay she started screaming at me." Anne's eyes widen and within seconds she's sprinting to get to Kat's room.

Kat's p.o.v

I can feel their hands on my skin, why the hell do they want me can't they prey on someone else, their hands were just so rough, my trigger words of course no one else knew them but they were mine, they were what made me flip out all of a sudden. After I finished the song I saw them, all four of them.

Henry Mannox

Francis Derehem

Henry Tudor VII

Thomas Culpeper

The last ones are always the hardest for me. They begin to move forward their hands roaming my body, over and over I feel them every time I'm touched, I start to scream, "YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH GET AWAY, p-please stop." I start to sob as Thomas puts a hand in my hair and his other one on my shoulder. "Please just leave me alone, I will do anything for you to just leave." I whisper, the answer would be the same as it always was. 'There is nothing you can do that will make me wanna leave, we have a connection.'

Suddenly I feel cold water on my face, I'm not in the palace, Thomas isn't there and neither are the others, there are only two people standing in front of me, Anne and Cathy.

"Are you alright, what happened?" Anne asks, hurrying over to me.

"Just had some memories, nothing big."

"It is big, you begged us to leave, that's not like you."

"Fine I'll tell you but only you, Cathy has to leave." At that Cathy exits the room, "You can't tell the other queens, I wanna keep this a secret." I say, making sure she got the message, she nods.

I sigh and begin the story. "So I guess where the trauma starts is my twelfth music lesson with Henry Mannox, he said we had a connection, I was eleven and he was in his thirties." I look up at Anne, who's face shows disgust and pity, "I wish I could say it was only a kiss here and there, but no I was raped on a daily basis, then someone came to my rescue, Francis Derehem. At least I wish he helped me, if anything he made it worse. Then I married Henry and everything was fine until he found out I wasn't a virgin when I married him." I lie not wishing to tell the full truth, not willing to trust again.

Anne's face is contorted into a look of shock, "Kitty did that really happen." I smile weakly and nod, while she draws me into a hug.
