American Horror Story- Animated

Tagline: Let's pretend the Harmons never existed; all who died due to their existence are still alive and Tate has always been and always will be a monster.

Prologue- 2010

Anna-Marie Laurent was a very gifted student, living alone in new York City, after having left home in Toronto, Canada, at the age of 17. It was almost her last year in college when she fell into the darkness and started using and abusing heavy drugs. It was the heroine that killed her; a few milligrams too much and she was done. The cops found her leather-clad in the back alley of and S&M club without any identification on her. After a few days, when no one claimed her body, she was classified as a Jane Doe suicide and was to be buried the next day. That night, as a dark shadow passed over her body, her eyes propped open. "Where am I?" She thought. "You're in the morgue, Darling," spoke the shadow. Without hesitation, she started to freak out. "Who are you and what am I doing here?" The shadow moved slowly across the room to the door, avoiding the light. "You're questions will be answered in due time, Anna-Marie." The door swung open. "You were given another chance. You must go… NOW!" With that, she ran out. No one was around to notice the former dead girl running out of the morgue. On her way out, she found her clothes in a box on the front desk. After getting dressed, she ran. She ran all the way home, found her spare key, grabbed a duffle bag to fill with clothes and other necessities, as well as whatever cash she had left. Soon as her bag was full, she was out the door and on her way to the bus terminal. One way ticket to Los Angeles, her gut feeling told her. In the back of her mind, she heard the shadow saying, "You won't need to come back to this." She got on the bus, not knowing what she was going to do when she reached her destination.

Chapter 1- Anima in the House

2011

Anima L'Stique strode into Murder house with a smile on her face.

"Thank you, Marcy. You can go now."

The small plump woman ran out as quickly as she could.

Anima decided she'd wander the place, knowing of its gruesome history. As she looked into each room, she could feel a presence behind her. It lingered and disappeared every time she turned around, until she stood in the hall, looking up at the attic hatch.

"You don't wanna go up there."

She turned around and there he was; short bleached waved, eyes consumed by darkness.

"And why would that be?" she quipped.

"Because you can't handle what's up there"

He brushed his hand against her jaw.

"So, beautiful, do you have a name?"

Before he could even blink, she has spin-kicked him right in the face.

"It's Anima and I know who and what you are."

He leaned against the wall on the floor, bleeding from his lip.

"Why don't you enlighten me, Anima… if that is your real name?"

She started to walk away.

"You caught me, Tate. It's not."

With that, she disappeared down the stairs.

Moira was already in the kitchen when she got there.

"You were expecting me, Miss?"

"I was," Anima replied. "A cup of tea then? And you are more than welcome to join me."

"Thank you, Miss." She placed two hot cups of tea on the kitchen table.

"Don't I get a cup?" Tate asked as he sat down across from Anima.

"What do you want, Tate?"

"Answers," he replied in an angry demeanor.

"Maybe first you'd like to ask the questions." She then stood up, thanked Moira and headed upstairs.

Tate, still sitting at the kitchen table, looked over at Moira.

"What is her deal?"

"I don't know, but I very much like her."

Suddenly, Tate was sitting there alone with only his suspicions to keep him company.

Author's note: I hope you all enjoyed the prologue and first chapter. I wanted to put a spin on things because as much as I enjoy what Ryan Murphy has done, I am not a fan of the Harmon family. I want to show you the ghosts for who they were really meant to be. This isn't a love story, this is a hate story. Feel free to review and keep the flames to a minimum. Thank you for reading.

Disclaimer: I do not own the title American Horror Story or any of its characters. I do however own the characters Anna-Marie Laurent and Anima L'Stique as well as the plot to this story.
