The next few days grow repetitive.

I'll wake up screaming in the middle of the night from nightmares, and I wonder if I ever woke Stone up again. I pinned a thick blanket over my window, hoping it'll muffle the sound.

After the first night, he doesn't come, banging on my door to scold me for it. So, I think it's a good thing.

Grandma made a habit of slipping lavender oils in my room, both of us hoping it'll soothe me enough to keep them away, but that hasn't been the case.

The day I'm dreading most is finally here; Friday. The day I have to see Mrs. Rivers, the school therapist.

After pulling the blanket down from the window, -grandma didn’t like it hanging there- I pause. Across from my window, the window in the house next door is open. In the few weeks I've been living with grandma, I've never seen it like that.

Curious, I peer closer. It's dark, the atmosphere inside seems almost wicked. The wal

  • Dangerous Psychos   From Bad to Worse

    Should I read it? What if it says something horrible about praising my father again? Curiosity wins me over, and I hold my breath as I open it up.You didn't respond back, my heart is wounded. I couldn't find those that ruined your locker. Don't worry, Ariella. I won't give up so easily. They'll end up just like those your father ended. We have plenty of time to play. My chest starts to ache. I close my eyes and breath deeply through my nose. The memories threaten to return, and bile rises in my throat. I don't recognize the bell going off as I slam the locker shut. I draw attention from those nearby, and they whisper among themselves. I run to the bathroom, the door slamming against the wall. The girls inside that are checking their makeup jump, and glare when they see it’s me. “You don’t look so good, Psycho.” A girl with brunette hair smirks at me. I ignore her and close the door to the open stall. The coff

    I resist the urge to scoff. What are the chances that he randomly assigns me the word psychopath, and then randomly pairs me with Lucas? No chances. I don’t believe him. I lift my head and glance around the room. Lucas and Mason are already sitting together, and when I see Lucas glaring at me, a vicious smirk on his face, a sudden wave of defeat fills me. I’m never going to survive this. Not if it’s him. “Today, Ariella.” Mr. Williams snaps at me when I don’t get up from my seat. I sigh and heave myself up. I reluctantly walk over and slump in the seat left open for me, twisting around to face them.Mason isn't really a menace on my radar. He's never talked to me, before or after the mass murder. At least, there's that. But then, who knows if he'll end up joining Lucas in my torment."Where should we work on the project?" I ask, my voice small.The two boys sneer at me, and I flinch.“I’m not going to your place to work on this shit. I don’t wanna die,” Mason spits, hand scratching

  • Dangerous Psychos   Mrs. Rivers

    With heavy feet, I walk into her office. The environment is warm. Images of the forest, beach, and a sunset are framed on the wall. Along with a kitten and puppy. The walls are painted a soft cream color, and the brown couch matches her oak wood desk. I take a seat on the couch while she sits at her desk. My hands fall onto the pleather of the sofa, and I wonder which side Haeden sat on. It’s cold, not at all warm like seats usually are after they’ve been occupied. Did he sit at all?I can imagine him pacing the floor in front of me, walking from one side of the room to the other like a caged animal.And why does he even see the school therapist? Probably for his drug addiction. “I’m happy you came,” Mrs. Rivers says, drawing my attention to her. She has a notebook open on her desk, a pink pen besides it. I eye it, is that where she’ll be writing her notes about me? “I was wondering if you would show up. I would have had to assign you a detention if you didn’t.”I frown. “So, if I

    I slip my backpack on and make my way to the school entrance. The moment I step outside, I notice Henry and Kensey sitting on the steps. When they see me, they stand up and face me.My instinct is to take a step back. What do they want from me now? And what exactly do they have planned? I glance around, my hands growing clammy. I have to escape. “Took you long enough.” Kensey smiles. “How was therapy?” Her approach is casual, like we've been friends for years. I look them both up and down, noticing their lack of eggs or paint. My shoulders start to relax. Okay, so far I'm okay. "I don't think you care,” I answer.“You’re right, we don't,” Henry snarls. He brings his thumb and pointer finger to his lips and whistles. The pitch is loud, and for a second makes my ears ring.Lucas appears from behind a black 1987 Mercedes, a giant duffle bag thrown over his shoulder. He walks over, and I continue to stand there like a fucking dumbass. Why the hell couldn't I move? Is it paint again? I

  • Dangerous Psychos   Unexpected Advice

    I don't waste time jumping into the shower. I make sure the curtain is pulled shut, yet I can't shake off my anxiety. What if she just wants me to get naked so she can steal my clothes and leave me here? She's done it before.What if she pulls the curtain open and snaps pictures of me to spread around? What if she just wants to beat my bare body to a bloody pulp and kill me before dumping my unrecognizable body in the woods. Murder seems pretty popular these days. And if the rumors about her and the guys are true, it wouldn’t be the first time, either.I'm back in a corner the entire time, expecting the curtain to be ripped away. After a while, though, I'm able to relax and enjoy the hot water sprouting from the shower head above me. I scrub the blood off until my skin is raw. I turn the water off, and jump when her hand sticks out through the curtain, a towel clutched in her hand. I stare at the black nail polish on her finger nails. “Thanks,” I murmur. “No problem,” she responds

  • Dangerous Psychos   A Ride Home

    Ivy isn't lying when she said her gym clothes will be tight on me. Having a slightly thicker build than she does, her clothes hug me tight. Her gym shorts stop above mid thigh and I'm surprised I don't have a camel toe. The white t-shirt is skin tight, making my breasts look bigger than they are. I almost ask her if she has a sweater to hide my figure, but I think she's helped out enough. I don't want to seem ungrateful. Working up the courage, I step out of the girls’ locker room. I find her leaning against the wall, phone in her hands. Seeing me she pushes off it and takes me in with a smirk."It's not too tight is it?" she asks, an eyebrow raising."Umm, it's better than pig blood drenched clothes." I smile sheepishly, shoulders shrugging.She sighs, "True. Come on. I'll take you home." She turns and leads the way with me following behind her.It's quiet as we walk, and I don't mind as I think about the previous events. By tomorrow everyone in school will have that video of me be

    Kingston still types away at his phone, Stone continues to sneak glances at me from the rear view mirror, and Ivy looks excited at the idea of having me there.I shake my head. "I don't think I should. I've never been to one of Stone's parties. I heard they get wild." I smile with tight lips, eyes glancing at the guy mentioned. "Come on, you have to come," Ivy pleads, bottom lip jutting out. My eyebrows raise in surprise.I'm about to protest again when we pull up to grandma's house."You owe me for helping you," Ivy barters, her hand grabbing my arm. "This can be your payment back." I bite my lip, suddenly suspicious of their intentions. Ivy never helped me until now. Even after seeing me walk home with paint dripping off my clothes, she didn't do anything. Why did she decide to help me now? Of all times? And why does she want me to go to the party? We weren't friends, and her helping me doesn't make us friends. They have something planned to humiliate me. They don't humiliate

    I am good. I followed the rules, always did my best, and yet one bad thing after another happens to me. And yet my father, a bad man, is alive while nearly half a dozen people lay six feet beneath the earth for being good.How does this make any sense? How is this God's will? Why does God punish the good?Fuck God’s will. Fuck God in general.Didn't I make it clear that I don't want to hear from him anymore? That I want nothing to do with him, or anything remotely related to him?"What are you going to do with it?" Grandma asks softly. She leans against my dresser, chewing on her inner cheek."I don't know," my voice cracks. I tilt my head back to look at her. "Did he send you one too?"Her lips pinch together with a shake of her head.After she leaves, I end up staring at it longer than I wanted to. I curse when a tear falls down my cheek. I hastily wipe it away and scoff. Out of everyone, he doesn't deserve any tears. Yet despite my thoughts, they continue to fall. I open my side

    !trigger warning!He wheezes out, tries to pull his hand to cover his neck but he's already tied up.This would be so much easier if Stone and Kingston had come with me, but Stone needed to stay with Ariella, which I didn't fight. My little killer needs someone with her right now. She's too fragile, too broken. And it's all Lucas' fault. Meanwhile, Kingston is out with Ivy, taking care of her own business.So it's all on me to take care of this loose end. This dumb fuck who can't follow basic directions. The dumb fuck who screwed everything up. I bite my lip, I can't say it out loud, but maybe this is going to be her breaking point. Maybe this is going to be what makes her snap. And fuck I'm going to hell because that makes me happy.I smile, "I just hate that it had to happen that way." I murmur."What?" Lucas croaks out. I ignore him and tie his ankles together. I shove Lucas on his back and crack my neck. Then I step back and smirks, "There. So much better." "Let me go you fuckin

    Haeden My jaw clenched so hard my teeth ached. When Lucas saw Ivy, his eyes widened in panic. When his eyes drifted over Kingston and then me, his hands began to shake. He knew he fucked up. "Shit," He scrambled to his feet, his junk hard and swinging. There was no remorse on his face. No sign or regret. Well, probably regret for getting caught.And then he ran. The mother fucker ran like he thought he could get away with it.While Ariella ended up in the hospital with an officer full of skepticism to take her statement, Lucas only got an ankle braclet slapped on him. It wasn't fair.So now here I am, crouched behind some fucking bushes so I can make it fair. So I can show him just how fucking bad he fucked up. I let out a breath of excitement when Lucas' dad finally exits the house. The police uniform on him is nothing but a joke. This man doesn't protect the innocent. He doesn't serve justice. When he drives away, I clutch my duffle bag and beeline to the house.I toss the ba

    Kingston is about to go after him, but he must think twice about it because he stays where he is. "When the phone when quiet, I was so scared you died." She whispers, her voice hoarse. "And then," She breaks into a sob, "I'm sorry, I can't go through it again." She stands up and leaves too. "Ivy," My voice cracks as I watch her go. I turn to stone and Kingston, "I need to know." I whisper, eyes red and puffy. "God damn it." Kingston mutters. He steps forward and then stops himself from getting any closer. I can't thank him enough for that, don't know if I can handle a guy touching me. It doesn't matter that they did nothing wrong. I just find myself cowering away. "We heard him. He started saying awful things about you, about your body. I don't really remember what it was he said, but they were vile." "I stepped so hard on my gas peddle, Ella. You have to believe me." Stone whispers, his voice hoarse. I stare at his red rimmed eyes, noticing the first time that he's crying. "I be

    After another day of staying in the hospital, the doctor got a sample from my coochie for 'evidence', I'm allowed to go back home. Grandma treats me like I'm fragile glass. She opens doors for me and hovers over me like a pesky bee. I don't say anything, I find it gives us both comfort. She leads me to my room and stands near the doorway."Get some rest and tonight we can have popcorn chicken bowls." She says, and the thought of my favorite comfort food has my mouth watering. I don't tell her that I think I rested enough at the hospital, but I keep it to myself.When she does finally leave me alone, I let out a sigh. I sit on the edge of my bed, going through everything that happened. Luca really did it, tears prick at my eyes. What happened to him hating my guts? What happened to me being a crazy psycho that he wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole?Shivers wrack through me as I whimper. I drag myself to the bathroom and turn on the hot water. I can feel his phantom touches still on

    After a while, my sobs turn into hiccups. I wipe at my bleary eyes and sniff. I take the time to look around the room, notice Ivy and Kingston standing a few feet away from my bed. Grandma sits on the chair on my right side, hand clasped tight in her lap. On the other side is a woman on a white coat.The monitor beeps beside me, filling the silence.When Ivy meets my eyes, she gives me a watery smile. She came for me. I remember dialing the first number on my call log, her name flashing in my memory. "Thank you." I burst into tears again. Grandma reaches to hold my hand, but pulls away when she sees me flinch."Don't." Ivy says, her voice hoarse as if she's been crying for a while too. She looks away from me, "We didn't make it in time." I break down again, knowing it couldn't have been avoided. All Luca had to do was get me unconscious. He didn't need me awake to rape me. He just needed a limp body to do what he wanted. And he did. The pain between my thighs is a throbbing reminde

  • Dangerous Psychos   Bad Lucas 2

    TRIGGER WARNING PLEASE READ WITH CAUTION***I gasp for air, my hands clawing at his neck. "I'm going to ease off, okay?" He stares at me, his eyes dark. "If you scream again, I'll just knock you out and take you that way." He must see the horror on my face because he smiles. "You wouldn't want that, would you?" I shake my head, a sob escaping me. I don't want him touching me at all, but the thought of him doing that to me, limp and unconscious, sends cold ice through me."Good." His hand slowly releases my neck, as if testing to see if I would scream again. Satisfied with my silence, he lets go fully and trails his hand over my chest. "God damn rats, can't believe you let them defile you." He shakes his head at me like he's disappointed. His nose is on my neck again, his hands trailing over my waist and hips. With shaky breaths, I slowly lift my hand and reach into my back pocket.

    TRIGGER WARNING! TRIGGER WARNING. PLEASE READ WITH CAUTION***The drive to his house is short, however every once in a while, I feel his gaze on me. It's unnerving. Usually he's spewing hateful words to make me feel like shit."What? If you have something to say, fucking say it." I eventually snap at him. Lucas isn't one to hold back, he isn't afraid to speak his mind. So what the fuck has got him so silent.He chuckles, the sound foreign to my ears, "Relax, shit. I was just gonna say you look like your in a 'fuck it all' mood." I snort."How'd you guess?" I droll out, turning to glare out the window. What I would give to be anywhere but here. I wonder what Ivy is doing? She's probably with the guys. I wonder if the missing item has anything to do with why they're not around."Your shit attitude." Lucas snorts back, bringing me from my thoughts.He pulls up into his driveway and turns off the engine. "Let's just hurry up, I need to get home after this." I slam his car door shut an

    I wipe at my tears, all my woes replaced by suspicion. I grab a notebook and pen and begin to write down all I know about the notes. They are always left at school, in my locker. I haven't found them anywhere else.Everything about this stalker is led by the school. Then whoever is giving them to me must go to school there too. But it still doesn't make sense. Why are they sending me these notes? Because they're fans of my dad? Because they want to scare me? Or is this just all some stupid prank? So someone can get their kicks out of making me paranoid?I tap my pen, which is it? Finding myself going no where, I grab all the notes from the drawer, completely ignoring my dads letter. I lay them out on my bed, side by side and evaluate them. The hand writing is all the same, so I know its all from the same person. I go through everyone who hates me, and list them down as potential suspects. Starting with the same people on my revenge list; Kensey, Lucas, Henry and Melanie. I think

    The drive to my house is quiet. I glare out the window with my arms crossed, and Kingston doesn't try to talk to me. Which is fine by me. There's so much shit I want to say to him, but I keep my mouth shut. He pulls up to the side of the road when we reach grandma's house. "When the others are back with us, we can clear up exactly what it means when we say you belong to us." Kingston tells me, his hands tight on the wheel. There's no apology for asking a question that is beyond personal. There's no apology for holding me against him even though I fought it. With a huff and a roll of my eyes I leave the car and slam the door shut. I don't care if it's the most expensive car that I've ever seen. I hope I chipped something.He doesn't leave until I'm inside, I can hear the screeching tires through the closed door as he takes off down the road."Stupid jerk," I mutter."Ariella, is that you?" Grandma's voice is firm. I hold in my groan, and walk into the living room. She sits on the so
