Something Craz'er

Chapter 1

    My phone alarm went off so loudly that I swore my soul heard it. Hearing it's beat which was the starting beat of my favourite song,"Butter" by BTS was enough to wake me up as usual but it didn't..

     I really didn't understand what was really happening..

Was it a dream?

No, I wasn't damn dreaming.

It was all........blank

      All blank but my eyes, they wouldn't open. I fought so hard to open 'em but they wouldn't. I struggled on 'em for a long time and then I felt this sensation....this feeling,that I have never felt before as beads of sweat gather around my forehead....

Fear ....

I was scared, scared I would never see the light again, scared my eyes would never open again...

    One last try and my eyes flapped open like light and I breathed out heavily. I didn't realise I held my breath all the while I tried.

Was this what it felt like to die?

      One minute, you're alive and healthy and the next, you try to open your eyes and they don't, you keep on trying until you give up and then they remain shut...forever

      I stopped my alarm and felt a soft presence by my door and I turned to see my little 8 year old niece, Nile

    "Hey champ" I winked and she smiled as I stretched my hand pulling out my drawer and grabbing a stick and my lighter ,when I heard her fragile little voice

    "Grandma Pat said not to smoke in the morning" she said softly as I turned to look at her.

     "Especially on an empty stomach" she said again.

I stared at her pure innocent self who had no idea what life had thrown at me or at her .

      I smiled, dropping the stick,running towards her as I picked her up in my arms spinning her around as her tiny laughter filled my room. I raced her down the stairs to meet the rest of my family at the dining.

    "What'd up,Dragon?" He greeted as I pulled a chair to sit after pulling one out for Nile

    "Go die,Iam" I replied as he chuckled

William is my older half brother, his father was my mom's first husband

    "and stop the Dragon thing,I'mma Demon"I added and I felt my mom hit me at the back of my head

    "What was that for?!"I yelled as she dropped my porridge in front of me

    "You shouldn't call that name in this house so early,baby,Christ"she said and turned away

    "Why? The demon's is demon so he should be called demon" I said again and she gave me a sharp warning gaze as I hissed and stared at my older half sister,Clarissa who was buried deep on her phone as she munched on her meal

    "Clars"I called but she didn't respond

    "Clars!" I yelled louder and she turned her gaze to me with me staring at her in the weirdest way possible

     "Stop glaring at me like that"she said calmly, attempting to throw salt on my face "you tryna possess me?!"

Clarissa's dad was my mom's second husband

What?!

Don't look at me....

She had like three husbands and still claims holy

    "Pearl, you give the weirdest short names" Iam added

Yeah, he's right

I mean William can be Will and Clarissa can be Clary

Wait....

Did he just call me Pearl?

   "What the f**k did you just call me?" I asked,grabbing my tableknife giving him a deadly stare

   "Should I call you Philomena?" He added again.

I really hated those two names.

Pearl made me feel like I was this soft,weak, pampered princess while Philomena,my middle name sounds whack.

    "Just call her what everyone calls her,Will"Clars said

    "Don't you dare mention it!"Mom yelled from the sitting room and I smirked at both of them

Don't be surprised...

I don't go well with family

I emit a bad relationship vibe

I'm this person that's very mysterious to explain,cos why else would a badass b***h like me listen to songs from a South Korean boy band.....

I am totally psycho.

   "Auntie Dragon"I heard that little voice call as my siblings burst into laughter and I smiled.

   "You don't need to call me that"I said,patting her thick black curly hair

   "I give you and Grandma Pat the honour of calling me Pearl,not these hoodlums"I said, referring to my older brother and my older sister,Nile's mom.

    "Says a hoodlum" Clars said back and I hissed

    "Mrs Shawty was saying somethings about you in the neighborhood"she started

Well, that's not a new thing.

    "She said you didn't belong here, that you belong in the underworld. She said you weren't meant to be born, but Grandma Pat brought you to this world through her bad sins and her devilish mind calling her a bad worshipper" Nile completed as my siblings stopped eating and stared at me while my mom moved to the dining shakingly,as I emitted a cold aura with my fist clenched into a tight ball.

That was it...

I could stand whatever anyone said about me, but never speak bad about my mom or any of my family members

      I stood up wiping my mouth with a napkin, grabbing my tableknife I rushed out of the house with my mom and Iam chasing after me.

     "Kiddo"Iam called

    "Pearl,come back here!"my mom yelled

No one could ever stop me once I set my mind to something.,....

      I rushed towards Mrs Shawty's house whom already had her doom fate sealed today.....

******************************************************

    I barged into Mrs Shawty's house like something terrifying was actually chasing me when my blood filled rage was actually flicked.

"What is going on here?!"Mrs Shawty yelled and screamed at the same time

Well, that question wasn't getting an answer

       I grabbed her, pinning her to the wall and my tableknife to her neck..

   "Christ!"Iam yelled

  "Calm down baby"my mom muttered

  "What is this nonsense?"Mrs Shawty whispered

She really still has the guts to ask me questions

  "Nonsense? Nonsense is the s**t you said about my mom,cos that wasn't so sensible. What did you think? That I wouldn't hear about it?huh?" I said putting pressure on the knife

   "What? I didn't say anything about her.....nothing. I promise"she whimpered

"Promise?"I scoffed and put more pressure on the knife

God, I hate liars

Mrs Shawty whimpered and cried as blood seeped from her neck.....

Kill her said my instinct

What??

I admit I was bad but not bad enough to kill someone

She's gonna do it again and again if you don't kill her now, it said again

I gazed at the point where my knife was on her neck and there was a sudden impulse to slit her neck

No....

I felt someone staring deep at me and I turned to see Mrs Shawty's son, Bret.

He stared at me with his soft blue eyes filled with fright and terror..... Nile has a crush on him

"I'm gonna let you go cos of one thing" I started and looked at Bret

"You can blab about me all you want,say any f*****g thing you wanna say. But,the very day I hear you saying something bad about any of my family members then I promise you,your death won't be an easy one I swear" I said and glared at her, pulling the knife slowly away from her neck as everyone heaved a sigh of relief with my mom making the sign of the cross.

   I walked to Bret as he shivered as I slowly patted his hair.

"If your mom ain't bad,I wouldn't have done that" I said to him as he nodded before staring at his mom who was still terrified that I was still there.

  I turned around and walked past my mom and Iam who couldn't utter a word as they followed behind me. Clars was waiting at the door with Nile when we got back,I was about to walk past her when she stopped me by grabbing my arm.

"Until when are you gonna keep being a b***h?!"she yelled

"Clarissa!"my mom yelled back

"Until we're all dead huh?!"she yelled again and I smirked

She looked like I just broke her head

She wanted to react,maybe slap me but she knew better than to get me on my bad side.

We stared at each other for a while with her staring daggers at me while gropping my arm tight and me,giving her the "wtf are you gonna do" look

"Clara"Iam said and separated her hand from my arm and she ran her fingers through her straight brown hair

"You're gonna regret it,Lucifie"she said

That was it......the name everyone called me,Lucifie,the female Lucifer

"Clarissa"my mom muttered, referring to the name and I walked to my room, without completing my breakfast or even bathing,I took my bag, changed my top and moved out.

"Pearl"my mom called softly after me as Nile came, hugging her.

******************************************************

"Jeez babe,you look like you just came out of wilderness"Tessie said shutting her locker

Yeah

I am still in high school

My last year precisely.....I'm just 18

"How the hell do you stay beautiful?"Tessie said again

She's right

I was on a white crop top with black shorts and my long dark curly hair tied up in a messy bun.

"Don't wanna talk about it" I sighed,picking out my books

"You look like the girl in that Beyonce's song....uhmmm..brown skin girl,ya skin just like Pearls"Tessie sang as I busted out laughing

"You sound lame,stop that"I laughed hitting her

Yeah

     I'm brown,my dad's white,my mom's black. Iam and             Clars are both black,their dad's black. Nile's brown too,Clars got f****d by a white dude, Anthony.

     Tessie's white and she's my best buddy, we've been friends since we were kids. b***h has like 7 piercings and still a virgin, she's the description of a good-bad girl. I'm kinda a badass-good girl.

    "Woah,look who got hot over the summer"Tessie moaned and I turned to see who she was talking about.

Yeah

Dylan....

   Dude has a really huge crush on me.

I remember the first time he asked me out for lunch,I poured my juice all over him and asked him to go die.

The second time, I literally yelled that he was too small for me causing the entire school at laugh at him. Third time, he bought me a box of chocolates for Valentine.I ate it all in front of him and threw the box at him.

She's right,he got hot..

But still no feelings

If I remember correctly, I have never had feelings for literally no one,never had crushes.

Well,I wasn't born to love.i was born to hurt.

I was a bad person...

I admitted it...

I embraced it ...

And I like the fact that it was part of me...
