【☆】 There'd been too much bullshit in her life to even put up with at this point. She already learned how to put up with as much of it as possible growing up. Harper was from a sink or swim family, and there was no way in hell that she'd let herself sink. Running away was only one of the things that would help her cope with everything. Family wasn't something that she cared about anymore. They set her up for the world, but at the same time, tried to drag her down into the abyss that they thrived in.
Weeks of running and breaking down passed since she left. She couldn't say that she changed all that much, but her environment sure did. First came the ghost. Harper didn't have a name for it. They never exchanged any words, with her only catching a glimpse of the thing staring at her from the shadows every so often. Second, she was alone. For once in her life, she didn't have many familiar faces milling about, and she'd only exchanged a word or two with a couple of passerbys. Her little follower wasn't exactly company either. Finally, she was standing at the gates of an unfamiliar territory. She was ready to stop being alone, ready to force people back into her life, ready to push back everything from her past. She was so fucking ready for this.
Without much hesitation, Harper rung the bells, hoping to draw any attention. "Hey assholes! I'm here to join!" she shouted in addition to the ringing, already growing impatient. Someone better show up quickly. It was rude to leave guests waiting.
