Mable closed her diary and decided to call it a night until she realised she left the window open. As she tried to close it her eyes drifted to the outside view, when she noticed a brick thrown out of the basement window..."Funny..." Mable thought before closing the window and returning to her bed for a nights sleep.

The next day was a monday, and that meant school for Mable who, was in her last few years. Thankfully. She always wanted to be a fashion designer after school, perhaps she would run the business with her younger sister when she was older... But alas, Mable's mother always wanted her to be a lawyer or a priest. Her mother always wanted the perfect holy child that Mable could never give her. School was never an escape from home, bullies found Mable vulnerable and used her as their target. From one abusive place to the next but still Mable strived on with life. Refusing to give up.

When Mable arrived home she noticed a new car in the drive way that neither belonged to her mother or father. Mother never had friends around either. Mable pondered on the matter before she realised she was still on the steps of the bus. All the kids laughed as she jumped off and ran to the door, her backpack hitting her back with every other 'leap'. She knocked on the door only to see the local priest open the door.

"Oh hello dear."

"Hello sir."

"How was your day today? Pleasant I expect."

"Yes sir" she replied trying not to say anything 'wrong', in fear of another beating.

"Well, I'll be off now. It was pleasant talking to you Mable."

"Good bye!" She waved him goodbye as he stepped into his car.

"Mable!" Her mothers voice bellowed. "Get inside! Your father is complaining about the cold!"

"Sorry mother."

"Do you have any homework?"

"No, but I do have some things to sort out alone upstairs mother."

"Ok..." Her mother said in a very dodgy tone.

"Is everything ok?"

"Urgh...yes, me and your father will be out tonight so we are leaving you with the neighbours daughter, Pelly.

-That night-

"Thank you ! I'll be seeing you tonight!"

"Goodbye!" Mable's parents left their home as Pelly closed the door and entered the living room accompanied with Mable. Mable preferred Pelly to her sister Phyllis who would sometimes replace her. But when she was with Pelly, that was the only time she felt really 'safe'.

That night Pelly microwaved the meal Mable's mother made for them and ate around the TV watching movies and then played some scrabble.

"Right you, time for bed" Pelly said with a gleaming smile on her face.

"Is it ok if I write in my diary before bed?"

"Hmmmmm, I'm not sure...alright then! You have approximately 15 minutes to write EVERYTHING you did today!"

"That sounded slightly creepy but ok!" Mable went in to hug pelly in a warm embrace when she felt a strange feeling. A feeling Mable would learn to call love. She ran upstairs and brushed her teeth before walking to her desk and writing in the already open pink diary.

"Dear Diary,

Today I had to go school once again and this time I had my head put in the girls toilets... They always call me a lesbian and that I should leave this town... What they don't know is that the fashion advice they follow in the school paper is actually me! After school I saw the priest at my door and we had a brief conversation. Mother and father went out this evening to a budding comedian's first show tonight. or something... Pelly, my 'baby' sitter cooked us the meal mother made us and we ate it while watching some romantic movie. Earlier me and Pelly hugged but whilst doing so I felt something...Something different, I've never felt this before. With anyone! Anyways Diary I'm going to bed now. Byeeee~"

Mable closed her diary and put it in her draw. After putting on her pyjamas she went to bed.

-Downstairs-

"Heyy, when are you coming over?" Asked Pelly whilst on the phone.

"I'm outside now, babe. Come open the door?"

"Ok Pete, be right there." Pelly hanged up the phone and opened the door but saw no-one there. She called out for Pete but had no reply. "PETE! PETE?!" She had no luck but just before she closed the door a figure jumped out on her. It was pete.

"RAWR!"

"MY GOD PETE! I HATE YOU!" She shouted as she hugged him.

"Silly, come one, let's go inside."

"We gotta be quiet though. Mable is upstairs and your not supposed to find out. We can't have her blabbing her mouth off, can we?"

"It's ok baby, ill make sure when I scream your name ill be quiet."

"No babe, not tonight..." Pelly said pushing pete away from on top of her.

"Alright then." A disappointed Pete replied.

*BANG* a huge bang came from the basement entrance.

"Babe, this isn't one of your tricks is it?"

"No, I don't know what that was. Let me go check if everything is ok."

"No babe, it might be dangerous!"

"I'll just be 5 minutes. Wait here, k?"

"Alright..." Pelly's face looked scared now.

Pete walked out of the room and into the small study that had 2 small doors inside leading to the basement. The doors had a rather loud creak when opening, that hurt the ears.

"Pete! Is everything ok?" Asked Pelly from the other room.

"Yeah babe!" Pete said as he entered the basement.

He managed to make out the light switch at the end of the stairs. He walked down and turned them on.

"Who's there!" Screeched the mysterious voice

"Wha-?!" Pete panicked as he turned around to see a anorexic brown porcupine covered in rags and tied up by the feet in chains. The porcupine tried running towards Pete but was restricted with her chains. The scene in front of Pete growled at him before he made a quick exit, turning off the lights and getting out of the house without saying a word.

"Pete?!" Pelly asked as he continued running outside. "PETE WHAT HAPPENED?!" Now Pelly was panicking.

She sat on the couch just as the bell rang. It was Mable's mother and father. Pelly opened the door and ran passed them not even excepting payment...

"What if she-...No..." Thought Mable's mother...
