It was that day, I was stuck at my boarding school, MacFowlans for girls, AKA my living hell, and it was raining outside. I knew Judas was coming, I could just feel it. It felt like he was just around the corner, coming to get me again, ready for another bite. I remember when he bit me the last time, I felt pain beyond measure. I remember rubbing my scar as the raindrops fell down the window.
