The Love Triangle

Harper watched from afar as Brady was going out with Katie, his new girl of the month. Brady was the kind of guy that grew bored with girls, and liked to switch up every time he wanted something fresh. Katie was a new girl that was known as the high school slut. A lot of guys claimed she had slept with them on the first date, so Harper guessed that Brady was looking forward to it. Harper thought that at some point, Brady would want her in that way. That maybe, he would get one look at her, and assume she was the one for him.

She would be the perfect girlfriend for him. 

She did not remember the last time that she was into a guy like this. There were some crushes over the years, but they were all your typical online crushes, or some random guy you bumped into while going for a walk in the neighborhood. 

Harper was tired of not being seen by Brady. Now, she would go to him. But first, she was planning to follow Katie and Brady to their new make out spot. She had done it several times already, and was getting pretty good at not being caught. Harper found out where their new location would be, and she was determined to make sure this would be her last stalking day. 

Brady was going to be her boyfriend, and it was going to remain that way. 

It was pure luck that Brady lived a couple of houses down from her, and she decided to wear all black, to avoid detection from Brady and his new date. She faked vomit sounds when she heard Brady and Katie laughing. Katie's laughter sounded so fake, she was obviously wanting to get their date over with. 

When Brady dates me, she won't ever have to deal with me ever being fake with him. I'm a good person. Brady will see that.

Katie and Brady walked all the way to the park, that was always dead around this time of night. No one liked to be walking around that area at night. It could be quite dangerous. Harper remembered when someone had tried to rob a couple while they were making out. It was so awful to imagine, a safe place like that, and someone shows up to ruin your day while you're spending time with your lover. 

Harper rolled her eyes. She was going to make sure that Brady was in safe quarters, no matter what. The last thing she needed was to leave the two of them traumatized. Katie should know better. But she should have expected the school slut to not give a shit about safety. She probably got it on in different parts of the town, in the most dangerous places. 

Katie and Brady were about to sit on a bench by the park, but then Katie pulled Brady hand's, leading him into the woods. Harper was in shock. 

This bitch is worse than I thought. Who the hell wants to get it on in the woods? Where a possible bear attack could happen? What an awful girl.

Harper followed the pair, and she could see the two of them were starting to kiss behind a tree. She hid behind one, watching the two of them. Brady was breathing heavily, letting out small moans as Katie was kissing his neck. Harper gagged, pressing two fingers against her head, pretending to shoot herself. If Brady was into this kind of woman, then she really needed to tutor him at some point. 

That was not the kind of woman that Brady deserved. 

After a while, Harper was getting annoyed by Brady's moaning. It had been going on for way too long now, all because Katie was kissing his neck. 

Until Harper saw the blood dripping down his neck. She let out a gasp, and Katie lifted her head. 

There was blood on her mouth. Fangs were sticking out of her lips. 

Harper screamed. 

She began to run, and then she was lifted into the air. Her legs were still moving back and forth, because she didn't realize that she was suspended in the air. She screamed when she suddenly flew even higher. She batted her hands at Katie's arms, screaming and screaming. Katie never let go, her arm wrapped around Harper's waist. 

Harper's body would be found in the middle of the woods two days later. Authorities suspected she had climbed a tree, and fallen to the ground. She had a severed spine, and she had snapped her neck. 

Brady had gone to school the next day, feeling dizzy. Like many of the boys that Katie had gone out with, he wouldn't notice the two holes in his neck. No one would ever notice, because the damage done to their necks was so minimal, it wasn't something to care about. 

Katie fed on boys, because their blood was tastier. She swore that she would never kill anyone by drinking them to death. She was fine being known as the school whore, because it was better to be alone than to gain friends in her sad life. It was a shame that she had to kill Harper, but she never liked that girl. 

Katie had opened her locker one day to find 'WHORE' spray painted on the inside of her locker. She instantly knew who the culprit was when she spotted Harper. She could smell the spray paint on one of her fingers. There were also rumors that she had bullied some of the girls Brady had gone out with, and Katie had been one of her targets. Brady was actually a good guy, but Harper was good at making girls leave him. 

She had to die. 

And now Katie would leave in this town for a bit, and go on to the next. 

Hopefully she wouldn't run into anymore assholes like Harper in the next one.
