WARNING: This story is rated M not for sexual situations, although there will be some, but for torture, murder, and gore. Just for the readers out there who are looking for a good smut read, I am also guilty of that, that's not what this story is focused on.
Prologue
Many years ago, as the story goes, there once a boy with no parents but enough adopted family to make up for it and a little girl who's family disowned her within their home. With a heart so wounded and vulnerable, it was healed with the simplest gesture of protection in a downpour. And so a series of events over a lifetime was set in motion that came to a climax in a scene upon the FTi building that culminated in Helga G. Pataki bestowing a passionate confession and kiss upon the lips of a dumbfounded and shocked Arnold Shortman. Even though Arnold initially let her get away with saying it was a heat of the moment thing, he eventually asked her out and they started dating. Of course it started fun and exciting but as time progressed, insecurities wreaked their natural havoc and things went sour.
They dated for a long time, at least two years, but they broke up in a dramatic scene at school. Arnold was the one to break things off, of course. The drama, the tension, was all too much for the easy going good guy. Helga did no take his rejection well though. Afterward, she pulled away from him completely, never speaking to him, and avoiding him. Arnold didn't really fight too hard to seek her out anyways. Life was just easier without her.
Embittered towards Arnold's disinterest and her classmates relentless mocking at her obvious heartbreak, Helga took up the unlikely friendship of none other than Rhonda Wellington Lloyd. She immediately got a makeover, became a "mean girl", and is Rhonda's right hand man. She becomes gorgeous of course but also bitchy and cruel. She and Rhonda rule the school together, the three amigos including Rhonda's long time best friend Nadine. In the summer after their junior year though, a terrible accident happens. While in the park with her bearded dragon, Nadine was bitten by a poisonous snake and died. It's a terrible tragedy and the P.S. 118 group is devastated, with Rhonda being the hardest hit.
However, as all things do, life goes on. Lila becomes the third in Helga and Rhonda's trio. The three go everywhere together and rule the school. The Nadine tragedy soon fades into the background as senior year whirls them away and before they know it, Halloween is a few weeks away...
