Next chapter! I don't know why I'm writing this, no-ones gonna read it. People aren't fans of OC stories.
Again, warning, this story contains violence, blood and some other stuff. This story has no rainbows.
"Don't cry baby, it's all ok. Tomorrow is another day."
- Five Nights At Freddy's song, Tomorrow is another day.
Can't you see? You are blind. They don't care. Why do you try? Do you really think you can succeed? Come play with us. You are broken. Run. Bleed. Die!
Celiko shot up after being awoken by her nightmarish memories. They were all voices she had heard from her family and past friends. Still haunting her.
But, like every morning, she shook it off. Her head still ached, but the bleeding had stopped so she removed the bandage. Her hair was sticky and hard from were the blood had been, so she decided to have a bath before school. She entered the bathroom, stripped and washed herself. After bathing, she glanced into the mirror and froze, her sclera had turned black. Her full attention on the mirror now, she poked her eye and tested it. It didn't feel different and she couldn't see anymore or less than before. Blinking multiple times did nothing.
'Awesome' The voice in her mind spoke. But it didn't take long before the negativity take hold. 'Oh damn...'. Celiko then began to panic, she would never hear the end of this. And what was it? What happened? Was her mother's kick that powerful? Why were her eyes black?
"ALICE! You b*tch! Where did you put my makeup?!" Luna's scream shook Celiko, freezing in place and staring at the door, it took a second before she realised that the scream was not aimed at her. Turning back to the mirror, she saw that her eyes had turned back to normal. Confused, Celiko stared at the mirror for about 5 minutes before Luna wacked on the door and demanded that whomever was inside get out.

It had been a hectic day, the image of her eyes had burnt into her mind and had distracted her all day. She was currently in the library, looking through the medical books in search of anything related to what she saw. But found nothing. The closest thing was in some supernatural book about monsters and demons. But, she did like reading stuff like that, so decided to rent some. The librarian, possibly Celiko's favourite person, was a kind old lady with ageing hair and a wrinkled face. She was nice and treated Celiko fairly, her voices spoke of the woman's children alot, as did her outer voice. She would always help Celiko with homework and problems, and had even given her a few books from her personal collection.
She made sure that she hid the books well, if anyone (namely a certain sibling) even caught a glance of her reading material, then she'd end up without a hand. The bus trip back home was even worse than the trip to school. The whisper and voices were more violent and hurtful.
Getting off at the bus stop, Celiko slowly walked towards her street, but found her path blocked... by non other than Alice and her gang.
"Well, well, well... Look what we have here... A pebble." Alice told her buds, who instinctively laughed as if it had been funny.
This wasn't the first time Alice and her friends had targeted her after school, the first time had terrified her. But again, she had learnt to hold back tears and ignore the pain, but it still hurt. Their voices echoed hungry and predatorial thoughts, wanting to be free and tear her apart.
"Well, you know the drill by now." Celiko wanted nothing more that to rip Alice's smirk off her face and burn it into ashes.
One of the boys advanced and held Celiko's arms back, purposely hurting her while doing it. His voices were a different type of hungry, which scared her. Alice then advanced and began to mercilessly punching Celiko's stomach until she threw up. Her voices were screaming with joy, adrenaline filled her blood and instinct took over Alice. Some of the other members were ripping her hair and bending her fingers to almost breaking point. But then one of the girls got out an army knife and began to cut words into her arms, the pain was unbearable, but she knew that there was nothing she could do. Their voices were everywhere, screaming in pleasure, and it sicken her. Why should she have to live through this? What had she done? These assholes will pay a price worse than death, she'd make sure they remember what they did to her. What if she killed Alice in her sleep? Suffocate her with a pillow... Crush her skull with a mallet... Stab her in the throat... Chomp!
Suddenly, the voices disappeared, the world went dark. Silence overcame her and her blood filled with hunger and rage. Well, if that was how they wanted to play it...
The voices came back, but with no rage or adrenaline, but fear. It took a second before Celiko fully came too. She looked up to see her sister screaming in pain. Her hand was bleeding profusely. Only then, did Celiko register something moving in her mouth. With her now freed hands, she reached in and pulled out three fingers, they were still twitching and bleeding, she could see were the bone had been sliced through. Dropping them in shock, it took a moment to put two and two together. Alice's group surrounded her in distress, some had their phones out, ready to call someone.
Panicking, Celiko ran back home and shot straight into the bathroom. The mirror held a new image, her mouth was dripping blood and saliva, she could still feel the flesh in her teeth and the bone on her tongue. But what surprised her most, was that her black eyes were back, but this time they were different. Her pupils had turned a fiery red and was almost flame-like. Unwillingly, a smile crept up onto her face. She looked like a madman.
Snapping out of her trance, she washed her mouth out multiple times and tried to ignore her voices that told her how divine Alice's blood had tasted. She took another shower, and changed all her clothes. She sat on her bed and chewed on multiple pieces of fruit. She was doomed, when her mother heard of this, she'd have her head!
She decided to have an early night and try to get some sleep. It was a Friday, so that meant she could go out all day tomorrow and escape her family.
Once again, the voices sang her to sleep, but unlike other times, this songs were filled with joy, hope and blood.

Morning came, with no Alice in sight. This confused and frightened Celiko to no end, making her jumpier than normal.
The halls were empty and held only the sound of her sleeping relatives, so she snuck down the stairs in order to make breakfast and get out of there before anyone showed up. But it seemed that luck was not on her side...
While pouring her cereal, Celiko reached for the milk and ended up grabbing on to something softer. Voices started to appear, angry, bloodthirsty and... frightened? Celiko turned to her head and came face to face with the very person she was trying to avoid. Alice's face held no expression, despite her voices speaking otherwise. Her hand was in a cast and had names written all over it, likely to be from her friends. Sensing her about to speak, Celiko looked up to her sister with fear fuelling her blood.
"Listen here, you little b*tch." Alice started, her outer voice far scarier, in a venomous and dangerous tone. "I don't know what the hell is wrong with you, but if you do something like that again, u... Got it?" Celiko nodded very quickly, confusion now taking over fear. Alice started to leave, but then stopped with her back to her sister and spoke a final time. "Oh, and if you tell a soul what happen... Well... You get the picture." And left.
Celiko stood frozen as her sister's voices faded away. A part of her wanted to know why Alice hadn't smashed her brains in, but the smart part knew to stay silent and be thankful she didn't. Finishing her food, Celiko again raced out the house, but this time... into town.
Every weekend, Celiko would leave the house, mainly for two reasons:
1. Some of her siblings, mainly Jack, liked to stay in and do their thing. If she got in the way, then she'd get the same treatment as a stranger trying to rob the house.
2. Every Friday and Saturday night, her mother would go out drinking with her friends, and almost always had a hangover the next morning. She tended to be more violent and angry whenever someone so much as made a squeak.
Alice and Luna would also go out to avoid their mother, seeing as they received the same punishment as Celiko if they woke her. But Celiko was usually the centre of the beatings, probably because she was small and didn't cry anymore. No... she was smart enough to keep it in.
The nearby town she always visited was quiet as always, there were hardly any visitor ever. Which was nice, because Celiko could easily make her way to any shop and cash out with no problem. Speaking of cash, Celiko, like her siblings, never got any pocket money, she was too young for a job and her siblings would never share. She may not have liked it, but the only way she got some spending money was stealing. She regularly stole from her siblings and sometimes from classmates, she usually got away with it because she only stole small amounts as to not be suspicious. During the week, she'd take about 2 pounds from each family member every 2 days, and so ended up with 30 pounds by the end of the week. It worked brilliantly, her family never even noticed.
She entered the only bookstore in town and headed straight for the art section. She loved art, if you couldn't already tell, and wanted to draw like her favourite artist H.R Giger. He drew beautiful creature made of darkness, and was the original owner of Xenomorphs, some people said that his art was quite sexual, but Celiko could not see anything of the sort about the morbid art. She always wanted to draw like him and one day meet him, but he had sadly passed away before she turned 12. Picking up a book called 'Alien the archive', she headed to the cashier and brought it.
With the book safely in her backpack, Celiko then headed to the clothes store. She had never been a clothes person, and never would be. The only reason she brought some was because she couldn't stand to wear her sister's kimonos in public, they were way too big. After paying for a pair of trousers and small t-shirt, she headed to the food court.
The food court was probably the only place that held life, two couples, a group of friends and five loners were already eating. Celiko got a small sandwich from one of the restaurants and sat down, and bit down on her meal.
Not as nice as her fingers...
Forcefully ridding herself of the thought, she turned attention to the other voices. Most were ignoring her, but a few were saying things like 'why is the little girl alone?' and 'where's her mother?'. Celiko was used to thoughts like these, being small and not having any signs of puberty yet, but they still annoyed her. She listened to their silent conversations while still eating, nothing interested her much apart from the hidden yandere within the group of friends. She began to hear concerned voices of a nearby couple, debating whether or not speak to her.
Finishing her meal quickly, Celiko fled the court and went to the aquarium. It wasn't the first time someone had (almost) asked her why she was alone, she always fled, knowing they may call the police if she told them why. Clearing her mind, she looked up at the giant aquarium poster, it was ripped, old and the colours were starting to fade, but she still liked it. She had been to this aquarium more times that any other person, the first time she came, she almost had an argument with the staff over her age, saying that she was too young to be here alone. But after showing her passport, she gained their respect and was aloud to enter. The staff were nice and treated Celiko like a pet, they'd let her hang about and feed the fish as well as help them. She didn't even need a ticket as the staff let her in on sight.
Her favourite area was the seahorse tank, it was small and stained, but the seahorses didn't seem to mind. Celiko loved their voices, they were so different from humans, their voices were usually filled with three things, innocence, determination and survival, and Celiko admired them for it. She had named each and every creature in the building, even the ones that visitor didn't know about. Heading to the shark and ray tank, she looked and listened as they hunted for their next meal. One of the sharks had a small crab in it's mouth and was trying to eat it. Looking at this, Celiko's mind went back to yesterday evening, she didn't even remember doing it. One minute she was restrained, the next Alice's blood ended up in her mouth. Blood... it had tasted so sweet. People often described it as metallic, but she only remembered the sweetness of it. It was so unique and overpowering, like a drug. The voices disappeared as the memory came to surface. The light began to darken and fish swam away. Celiko felt tired all of a sudden, like sleep was just around the corner. Maybe... if she closed her eyes... Eyes...
The reflection on the tank is what snapped the girl out of her trance, it looked terrifying. There was a girl that looked like her, but... her eyes, they were the similar to the ones she saw in the mirror. But this time they looked even worse, completely black with irises as dark as fire, which they almost seemed to be. It looked like something was rooted in the iris and growing outwards. Her mouth was drooling with her teeth sharp, she was smiling very creepily and her face dark with insanity and hunger. It was a monster.
It took a second before she realised that the girl in the reflection was her.
