So... on May 24th, 2019, my mom invited these kids over. I was 12 at the time, so... yeah. One of them was a girl and she was 10, and the other was a boy who was 7. The girl was cool, nice, and funny, but the other kid was annoying. He would always get mad whenever I wouldn't let him on my PS4, and he would scream insanely loud. I could deal with this, I have a sister after all. Before this incident, I was happy a lot of the time, always talking to people and stuff. This... this broke me. I couldn't trust anyone anymore, and I would never talk anymore. But anyways... to the point.

One afternoon, these kids came over again. I had talked to the girl for a bit, but then she went downstairs. I asked my mom if I could play Fortnite, and she said yes, so I turned my PS4 on and started up a Solo match. I heard someone coming up the stairs, and I knew it was the boy. But... something was off. He was always full of energy and ran everywhere... but he was walking. Slowly. I didn't think much about it and turned my attention back to the game. A few moments later, he opened the door slowly. I said hi, not really caring. When he shut the door and locked it, I started to get concerned. I didn't know what was happening. He said hi back, so I thought everything was normal. I glanced in his direction, then noticed some... articles of clothing on the floor. They weren't mine. The last thing I remembered was this kid, this 7 year old kid, jumping on me. I blacked out from fear.

I woke up later, probably a good 10-15 minutes afterwards, and saw the worst thing I'd ever seen. I'll let you assume what I saw. I threw him off of me, and didn't know what to do. But then, my cat, Shadow, jumped onto that kid with her claws out. She cut him a lot and he ran from her. He picked up his clothes and ran into my bathroom. He came out with them back on. He went downstairs and I never saw him again. I locked the door behind him and proceeded to cry into my pillow, my cat in my arms.

Shadow is one of the only things I trust now. She protected me and she did a good job. I can't sleep without her, and she's always there for me. This is why I am who I am now, and why I'm not who I used to be.
