A bird chirped and beth ran out of the cemetary and straight to Jane's house. She ran through the door kicked off her shoes and straight into Jane's bedroom, wehre to no surprise of Beth's she found her one and only bestfriend. She gave her a big hug and said "I missed you!"

She sat there on her bed, looking for a release of her emotions... then a gleam from scissors caught her eye. She moved towords them uneasily... A discusting thought entered her mind. She picked them up and opended them. She then sat down and placed the sharp blade on her skin. She felt it peirce and slide along digging a tunnel for her anger. The shinny metal had turned bright red. The warm liquid flowed from her fresh cut and trickled down her arm. She watched it with an odd fascination.

She placed the blade at another point on her arm and ripped it through her skin. she jsut coldn't get enough of this. It was incredable. It almost became demonic, She sliced her skin watched the blood drain from the gaping wound and when the blood began to clot, she'd do it again in a new place.

She then looked at her arm and realsied it was coved with red slashes. Her whole arm was bloodied and a tear rolled down her cheek, landing on her newest mark. She nearly shrieked out as an intense pain seared down the cut. Oh my god! What did I do? Everyhting was covered in the red life giving substance.

Her arm began to throb. It hurt like hell. She slipped into the bathroom and filled the sink with cool water. She grabbed a towel shoved it in her mouth and dunked her arm into the water... She bit that towel hard and used ever bit of strengh she had to stop from screaming. Her arm burned, as if on fire. She kept it there for a while, until the soothing relif of the coold water took effect.

She carefully dried her arm and watched the blood stained water drain away. The ran into her room with a roll of toilet paper and began to clean the blood. she looked at her skin and realised her was peachy skin had become ghostly white. All of a sudden she felt dizzy, her room becan to spin around. Beth tried to grab her chair for support, but she ended up in a heap on her bedroom floor.

Two hours later Corey decided to pay Beth a visit... She hadn;t phoned back, which was unusual for her. He was concernd, when he had called there was something in her voice. He knocked on the door.

"Hello. Is Beth here?" Corey asked.

"Uh, sure go in and see if you can find her. I'm don't know if she is or not." Gruffly replied Mr. Swoon.

"Thanks"

Corey knocked on her rooms door... No answer. He peeked in but because of the way her room was set up he didn't see her. He checked the house and concluded she wasn't there and continued his search to her friends houses.

Little did he know he was mere steps away from the non responsive girl he loved.

Beth awoke in the middle of the night. She was very sore from being on the hard floor for so long... Her arm hurt like hell, and when she went to go to the bathroom, she relised she was white as a ghost. she definitly didnt feel good either. She went back to her room got in her bed and was about to fall asleep when she opened her eyes and in the moonlight saw the cuts as they appeared liek little black wounds an her arm. She just quiverd and fell asleep.

The bright sunshine pooled on beths bed, as she slept. She woke up and her clock read 10:30... She realized she'd slept for a little over 24 hours! That was crazy, the worst part; she was still tired! Even in the cheerful sunlight, he skin gave of a transucent appearance.Beth had no idea what came over her, or why she destroyrd her arm, in an almost demonic way.
