Monster Inside

Have you ever had one of those days where nothing has gone right? I have had alot of them recently. My recent bad luck reached it's peak when I got kicked in the head by a big blue giant. Haha...Ok, I'll elaborate. I was in PE, doing sit-ups, when the football players, decked out in there navy blue, ran past up. Our team's star kicker, Joey Bagg decided to kick me in the head. Hard. My neck snapped to the left, and I blacked out. I know what you are thinking, "Who blacks out after a light kick to the head?" Well,'' HE IS THE STAR KICKER! ANY IDOIT WOULD KNOW HE CAN KICK HARD! IF I COULD ONLY....'' Anyway, when I finally came to, I was laying in the nurses office, a bandage wrapped around my head. The nurse wasn't there though, I was totally alone. I sat up, and say a note sitting on the table beside me, written in the nurses looping hand-writting. It said " When You wake up, please report to Principal Bagg's office. Thanks, Mrs. Noel." All I could do was sigh. This would the 5th time this week I would be sent to see Principal Bagg. As the name implys, the is the father of the'' HORRID, EVIL, VILE WORM JOEY! HE ALWAYS TORMENTS ME!... ''So I headed to the office, using the short cut through the school library so no one would see me. I was use to being picked on when I walked to the office. When I finally got to the office, I sat down in my usual chair and waited for the middle-aged divorced man to notice me. It took about five minutes, but he finally looked up at me. Our conversation, which I am sure at this point was a pre-recorded tape playing under his desk, sounded a bit like this.

"Raven, I understand that you were picked on today?" His robotic voice said.

"Yea, by your son, as usual."

"My son is a good boy, Ms. Two. You must have done somthing to provoke him. Two weeks detention. Return to class."

And with that, my breif trip to the office ended. This was the same thing every time. ''THAT JERK HURTS ME AND I JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT! I HATE, HATE, HATE ,HATE, HATE HIM! I WISH HE WOULD JUST.... ''By the end of the day, and the end of detention, my day had gone from bad to worse. My teachers had loaded me down with work, I failed three tests, and I had to deal with more of Joey. To top it all off, I had a splitting headach due to my near concusion inducion injury. I couldn't focus....I felt as though someone was pushing the insides of my head.

Finally, after the detention bell rang, I slowly walked home. Sadly, I have the same route home as Joey. No matter how much I avoided him, he kept calling me name that I won't even mention here and throwing whatever he could find at me. He followed me all the way home, and, almost like a grand final, he pushed me into a fire hydrant outside my house, causing me to fall to my knees. He just walked away, laughing all the way.

When I finally managed to pry my beatten body off the pavemet, the sun was going down. I am terrified of the dark, so I hurried inside of my house, even though I knew it would be dark in there too. As I walked down the hall of the crumbling, decaying home, memories begin to flash in front of my mind. Me at age 6, sitting with my parents on the porch of our beach house. Me sitting with my Grandmother, looking over my parent's graves. Finally, me, standing alone over the graves of my Grandmother, Mother, and Father. '' ALL OF THEM GONE! ALL OF IT MY FAULT! THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER TRIED TO... After my Grandmother fell down the stairs, I was suppose to go into foster care, but...NOBODY WANTED ME! ''So, I just...stayed. Nobody cared. They all just avoid me anyway. They shut off the power to the house, leaving me in the terrifying dark.

Snapping back to reality, I quickly ran up to my room, which was a damp, stuffy little cornor of the attic. I quickly climed into bed, knowing if I hesitated, I might not make it before dark. Just before I got into bed, I felt...It. I fell to the floor, withering in pain. I knew I was to late. The demon that I have worked so hard to control was free for the first time since....

''I sneak into the Bagg's house at midnight. I silently slip into the elder Bagg's bedroom. He snores, not aware of my presence. I take my widow blade, a pocket knife etched with spiders on it, out of my pocket. I approch the man who let me be tormented and slapped him awake. He was startled, and tried to scream. I slit his throat in one swift movement, watching in delight as his blood pours from the cut. I taste the sweet crimson liquid, delicious, as usual. But, I have more improtant things to do, so I leave the corpse, and head down the hall. Joey's room is just like I expected it to be. Filled with sports awards and scholarship applications, and a huge, king sized bed containing the evil creep. I slowly walk up to the bed, relishing every second. *Snap!* I look down to see I have stepped in a ruler. I see the beast stur, then sit up. I slide back into the shadows, waiting. Waiting for him to go back to sleep. Eventually, he does, and I move in. This kill was my favorite. Better than killing my mother with a blanket, better than drowining my father, better than pushing my Grandmother down the stairs. I slowly slit his throat. I think he may have woken up during the process, but I didn't notice. I only cut, and cut, and cut, till there was nothing left but a bloody pile of meat. I looked outside, and saw that the sun was almost up. As much fun as I had, I knew it was time for me to rest. So, I layed down in the still bloody bed, and slowly drifted..........''

 I woke up the next day, in a pile of blood and guts, and knew what I, no, what SHE had done. She had used me, again. I knew it was time to move. People had begun to get suspicious, and I don't want to go to jail. There are horrible people there. So, I walk home, avoiding all of the old people who spend all day outside. There, I change, pack up my backpack, and leave. I don't know where I am going, but all I know is I have to keep moving, and keep killing. I am settled in a new place now, ''with new victims, just ready to die. I am watching them right now. They all must perish.'' Sombody....anybody...help me. I don't want to hurt people anymore! Someone save me from myself, from this monster inside me.
