Karen's Predators

[Lila]

I rather enjoy thinking how Karen would react to certain things. Todays thoughts: How Karen would act if she read a highschool sex ed safety against predators paper


Chapter One:

See you on Monday! I called to Hannie Papadakis as I ran off the bus and into the big house.
"Hello!" I shouted as I barged into the house.
"Hi Karen!" Andrew came running down the hall to greet me.
"Hi Karen, I have to go to a BSC meeting" that was my stepsister Kristy. She's my favorite person in the world.
"Kristy, I have homework, may I do it in your room?" I asked.
"Sure Karen." Kristy waved to me. See why I love Kristy?
I ran up the stairs and went into Kristy's room to her big desk. I love Kristy's room.
I pulled out my homework sheet Ms. Colman gave to us. Ms. Colman is gigundoly wonderful.
As I sat doing my homework I thought about Kristy and how lucky I was for a great stepsister. See, I have two families...

Chapter Two:

*insert Karen's family information here*

Chapter Three:


I spied Kristy's big kid homework on her desk. I didn't mean to snoop, honest, but safety interested me.
"Predator Alert! Stay Safe!"
read the paper. "Hmmm. It sounded like something I should read. After all, I know all about safety. I passed bike safety, I was a safety patrol and helped catch thieves at my school with my friend Addie, and I could never know too much about safety."
I read the whole article.
Do not go anywhere alone after dusk. The paper read. I never go alone! I am always with Nancy or Hannie. The Three Muskateers always stick together!
If a boy tries to push you do things do not feel comfortable with, do not be afraid to say No! If a boy has done things to you that you did not consent to, do not feel afraid to tell a parent or a teacher. Being raped is not something to be ashamed of.
Some of the words i did not understand but I kept on reading.
If you need help please do not hesitate to call the Women's Crisis Center or the National Rape Hotline.
I carefully wrote those numbers down. You never know.
I read on as the paper talked about pepper spray and a rape whistle.
"Rape whistle?" I was impressed. I needed to talk to the Three Muskateers. We needed pepper spray and rape whistles.

Chapter Four:

Hannie and Nancy were impressed when I called them over on Saturday. We spent all day getting our safety supplies. I took the pepper shaker from Daddy's kitchen, and Hannie took her families and so did Nancy.
We searched around my toybox at the Big House until we found my pink sparkly whistle.
"Perfect!" i cried.
Next we ran to Hannie's house and found her whistle. Her's was silver. Just like the paper said. It had a cord and everything!
Nancy did not have a whistle but the Three Muskateers found Charlie and asked if he could take us to the store. He did and we bought Nancy and pink sparkly whistle like mine. Then we looked at the dolls and decided we needed more doll clothes too.
We thanked Charlie and we went to my room after we got home.
We had more planning to do.

Chapter Five:

Hannie, Nancy and I told our Doll Sisters all about safety from predators. They were impressed with such a big word. So were we. We liked how it sounded. Predator. WHat a gigundoly cool word!
Moosie promised he would never do anything to a girl that she did not feel comfortable with.
"What does that mean though?" Nancy wondered.
I did not know. But suddenly I thought of what it could mean.
"You know what? I wasn't comfortable when David Michael told me I coudln't play tag with him and Linny. He was being a meanie-mo. Does that mean he raped me?"
I think it does, Karen. Hannie frowned.
This is why we need the whistles. Nancy pointed out. "The paper says if a strange man tries to tell you waht to do, whistle as loud as you can and yell out "RAPIST"
But David Michael isn't strange. Hannie pointed out. I guess we can't do that.
"It also says here if someone tries to steal your purse to shout out THAT'S MY PURSE! and kick him between the legs." I read importantly.
Nancy and Hannie and I read the paper over and over. We did not want to miss out on any safety tips.

Chapter six:

All day Sunday the Three Muskateers played but we didnt' have to use our whistles or scare off predators. that was good. We had Krushers practice and we had a great game. We came home and played with our Doll Sisters. We pretended they stopped a predator (we still didn't know what one was so we pretended Shannon was a predator. She was a good predator)
Then, we froze as we saw a strange man walk up to us. We were playing in my front yard. We knew we had to put our plan into action

[Lila]

Chapter seven:

PREDATOR!!!! Hannie yelled. "HELP! RAPIST!!!! RAAAAAAAPIST!" she blew her whistle loudly.
"Thats my purse!!!!" I yelled. ( I didn't have one, but i wanted to kick the predator anyway) I did. Hurray! I kicked him right between the legs like the paper said. He doubled over in pain.
Elizabeth had come out during our fuss.
Nancy was shaking her pepper shaker at the predator. "Take this pepper spray!" she yelled.
Elizabeth caught her hand and took the pepper away from her.
"Girls!!!!" She yelled at us. She then started apologizing to our predator.
"I"m so sorry Mr. Rusl, I don't know what got into them." She looked at Hannie. "Hannie, I think its time for you to go home. Nancy, I'm giong to call your mother and tell her what you have done. Hannie, your mother will hear from me too. Karen, you go straight to your room. you are in Very Big Trouble!!!"
I gulped. Somehow I think that maybe that paper was wrong. I ran to my room.

Chapter Eight

Daddy and Elizabeth were not too happy with me. They were angry t hat I snooped around in Kristy's stuff. They did not punish me, however. Elizabeth felt that I had thought I was doing something good. We had a long talk about safety after that.
Elizabeth also told me that this is why we have the rule about not going anywhere with strangers and not talking to strangers. She said that when i'm Kristy's age I will have BigKid Safety lessons like what Kristy was learning in Health Class. But for now I should forget what I read on that paper. That was for Big Kids like Kristy. Mrs Papadikis and Mrs Dawes said the same thing to Hannie and Nancy.

Chapter Nine

Kristy came into my room that night. She was embarressed at what I had done to Mr Rusl. Mr Rusl was a contractor who had come over to see the kitchen. Daddy and Elizabeth were going to remodel the kitchen and thats why he had come over.
"Karen, can't you just enjoy being seven?" Kristy shook her head. Then she said "Things are never dull with you."

Find out what happens next to Karen in Karen's Orcs

I was impressed. Sam had just finished a quest and gotten a cool piece of armor!
"I want to play!" I begged Sam. I just HAD to create an orc. World of Warcraft looked GIGUNDOLY cool! I could play big kid games on the computer just like Sam.
"I dont think you could play, Karen." Sam said.
"Boo. I'm old enough, please? Nancy and Hannie can make orcs with me too! Just like you." I pleaded.
"Well, I would get a special item if i refer you...Okay Karen you convinced me. I'll teach your how to play World of Warcraft."
"Goody!" I could not wait. The Three Muskateers will have SO much gigundoly cool fun
