**Natalie Outlette**, currently known by her serial killer identity, **Clockwork**, is the titular main protagonist turn antagonist of the Creepypasta story of the same name. She is a vengeful and cruel serial killer who mutilates her victims at night, and is commonly known for her clock in her eye.

## History

Natalie had a normal, unassuming childhood, until her father, David, proclaimed his hate towards his own children, argued with his wife, Mary-Beth, and grabbed Natalie and presumably beat her for 'drawing on his walls'.

Fast-forward a few years, where she was now nine years old, and the abuse had seemingly escalated, where she and her fourteen-year-old brother, Lucas, were forced to hear their father scream and yell about the tiniest things while their mother apparently made no attempt to stop him. One day, Lucas approached Natalie while she was sitting on the couch watching a movie, and asked her if she wanted to 'be cool' and 'grow up like a teenager'. She agreed, and he said, "Well...you know what guys and girls do sometimes, right?" He then proceeded to sexually abuse Natalie, which was heavily implied to have been going on for four years until she had turned thirteen. During the abuse, she tried to talk to a girl in her class, Mia, about it, but Mia sabotaged Natalie and spilled her secret, prompting online and real-life harassment during her elementary-school year.

Natalie was now sixteen, passionately drawing and enrolled in Walkerville-Collegiate School for the Creative and Fine Arts'. Due to a slip-up the night before, where she was unable to complete an assignment for her English class, her English teacher, Miss Homenuik, warned her that ‘her time was up', which prompted a strange sense of calmness for the teenager. In her French class, she was caught drawing gory pictures of people being stabbed, knives, and 'macabre things of the sort'. Her teacher, Mr. LeVasseur, saw Natalie's artwork and told her to erase it and get back to taking her test before adding, "Your time is almost up, Ms. Oulette."

Natalie then began feeling as if time was always against her, the stress agitating her.

Her next, two periods passed unusually fast before she met up with her boyfriend, Chris, who then asked her to talk to him after her class. He told her that he wanted to break up and see other people because of how disturbed he was by her macabre artwork, implying that there was something psychologically wrong with her, yet she didn’t even try to talk to him about what was going on with her. He apologized, then walked away, leaving Natalie heartbroken.

Once she got home, she went to her bathroom, her stress starting to get worse before she began carving her mouth into a smile before sewing the cuts together with black thread and stitches. Despite how excruciating it was, Natalie smiled through the entire thing. That was until her mother found her, Natalie realizing what she had done before she started crying.

A hospital trip later, her mother scheduled therapy for her. Strangely, Natalie had never removed the stitches. When the therapist, Deborah, had asked her what was going on, Natalie told her that time was her biggest problem. She told her, 'Time makes you live through it, slowly progressing through life, being controlled by society, only to be tortured for seemingly no end until you find you no longer have a purpose.’ Natalie told her, ‘The concept and mechanics of time are a vicious circle, and it never slows down.’

Deborah then asked Natalie to tell her about the abuse; however, Natalie refused and insulted the therapist by calling her, 'blondie'. The girl then said, 'Natalie isn't here anymore.’ The therapist left to bring her parents in, and they all went back home.

That night, Natalie had a nightmare, where a voice was telling her, ‘Your time is finally up,’ before she woke to find her hands and feet bound to a hospital bed, where she was hooked up to a heart monitor. A man, presumably the head scientist/doctor, entered the room, explaining to her that her parents agreed to give her 'mental drugs' against her will, saying that they would most likely improve her mental state. He then told her that she would be back to normal in no time and slipped an anesthesia mask on her as he began performing surgery.

Natalie eventually woke up in the middle of the surgery, seeing that she was being given multiple injections and some mysterious substance being rubbed onto her skin. Unlike other patients who gained consciousness during surgery, she was able to respond and move about. The doctors noticed her heart rate increasing on the monitor, then saw her opened eyes. Natalie, injected with high amounts of the mysterious serum, broke free from her bonds, ripped the mask off her face and the tube from her arm, and sat on the edge of the hospital bed, shaking violently. She then stumbled towards the doctors, breathing shakily, and laughed. She then passed out after coughing blood for an unknown reason.

She woke up again to the doctor/scientist saying that her surgery had gone horribly wrong. She glared at him, who looked away out of guilt and shame, and he said that she was never supposed to wake up and that they would see how the botched surgery would affect her. He added that it seemed to change Natalie's appearance as well. The teenager looked into a mirror and quickly noticed that her once-brown eyes had completely changed to green. The stitches were still in her skin, and she felt happy because of that and her new appearance. Natalie stood up, chuckling as she loomed over the doctor/scientist, and said, 'Your time is up.”

Two security guards heard the screams of the doctor/scientist, and rushed to the room to see the doctor/scientist strapped to the bed, which had been folded into a sandwich, his spine crushed. They then saw Natalie sitting on the floor while drawing on the wall with the doctor’s blood. She turned to look at them, smiling widely, before inviting them to “play with her”. The security guards aimed their guns at her, but she charged at one of them, grabbed a knife from a sheath on his weapons belt, then stabbed him in the waist until it drove through his protective vest. The other guard dropped his gun out of shock, and Natalie walked up to him, pointed the blade at his chest, then sliced down to his gut. His organs spilled out onto the ground due to the severity of the wound, and he collapsed to the ground, dying soon after.

Natalie walked back home through a thunderstorm and knocked on the front door, waking up her mother. Mary-Beth went to the front door and listened for a second, hearing what sounded like hysterical laughter outside, but stumbled back when Natalie bursted through the front door with two knives in hand. Mary-Beth hit her head hard against the coatrack until it entered her skull, causing the woman to bleed violently. She fell the floor, gasping and paralyzed. Natalie knelt to maintain eye contact and showed her mother the two knives coated in blood. She coldly said that she was suffering, yet Mary-Beth had done nothing to help her. Natalie sat on top of her mother and cut a V-shape into her chest. She peeled back the skin, tissue, and muscle to reveal her chest cavity. She broke the ribs and sternum to reach her mother's heart, then slowly pulled it out of the cavity before crushing it, causing blood spraying all over both her and Mary-Beth. As her mother died, Natalie whispered, “Sweet dreams. Your time was up."

She put the destroyed heart into her mother's mouth before walking into the master bedroom, where her father, David, was awoken by the sound of the door being broken and his wife being absent. He saw his daughter, smirking and standing by his side of the bed, and noted that she was covered in blood; the stench of it was unbearable.

David grabbed Natalie by her neck and threw her to the ground, stomping on her chest until she began to cough up blood for the second time. While she was down, she tripped her father, causing him to fall, and said that she was not his daughter. While he was momentarily incapacitated, she grabbed a pillow, smothered him with it, then stomped on his face until cracking noises are audible. It was revealed that David's face was horribly mutilated, and he was crying in pain. Natalie stabbed him in the stomach, then retrieved an unknown, wooden pole by the bed, proclaiming that she was going to need it. She laid it on her father's stomach below the knives, then sat on it. The force was enough to squeeze his innards out of his body. He gagged as blood began to pour from his mouth. Suddenly, his organs bursted from his mouth, breaking his jaw and killing him. Natalie nodded to the corpse, then walked out of the bedroom as she said, "Your time was up, Daddy."

She walked to Lucas' room in search of him, expecting him to be in bed, but was caught by surprise when he leapt out of his closet and hit her in the back of the head with a baseball bat. He hit her again, then stopped, winded. Natalie was now weak, breathing heavily as she bled out the back of her head. She looked up at the ceiling, remembering how Lucas had abused her, then stood up as a rush of adrenaline coursed through her. She laughed hysterically before she blocked his next hit with her knives. Natalie then promised her brother that he was going to Hell and slammed him into the wall. As Lucas began to lunge at her, she pinned him to the wall by his arms with her knives. Natalie then saw a butter knife, picked it up, then walked back over to him.

She explained to him that the softest organ in the human body was the eye, being 'soft as butter', and dug the butter knife into his left eye. He wailed in pain, but she ignored her brother as she removed both of his eyes, rendering him blind. She picked up a sharp pair of scissors and stabbed him in the abdomen with them, cutting his skin and muscle until she had reached his large intestine. Natalie lifted the intestine and said how she loved 'macaroni art', before cutting it into sections. Lucas screamed again, and once she was done, she began breaking all of his fingers and toes. He choked on his own blood and vomits before Natalie ripped off one of the fingers and forced it down his throat, letting him choke to death on blood, bile and a severed finger.

After murdering her family, the teenager walked into her room, before seeing her stuffed giraffe. She brought him into the bathroom with her before she noticed a pocket watch on the rim of the sink. She listened to its ticking for what seemed like an eternity before she proceeded to remove the face of the watch.

She then repeated what she had told that therapist about time as she dug into her left eyeball until she finally managed to scoop it out the socket, then forced the face of the pocket watch into the empty socket until it had fit somewhat perfectly. She then adopted the name, "Clockwork".

Clockwork walked out of her house and threw a tank of gasoline onto the house before throwing a cigarette into the trail of gasoline, setting the house ablaze.

## Appearance

Clockwork has pale peach skin, long, dark brown hair, and formerly-hazel green eyes. Her eyes changing color was the result of drugs forcefully prescribed to her by an unknown doctor, only going by the name Mr. Scientist, that changed the pigment of her eyes from brown to green.

She wears a white tank top, a grayish-green hoodie with cream fur lining the insides of the hood and jacket, black skinny jeans, and black hiking boots. Most noticeably, her right eye has been cut out and replaced with an Open Dial pocket watch. She pierced the corners of her mouth and sewed the skin into an upwards smiling position, perhaps because of her loss of sanity. It is guessed at that the reason of her detriment and 'self-harm' was most likely her 'raging against the machine' (i.e. snapping, rebelling against the notion of society, its suffocating norms, and its 'cookie-cutter' people) and radically changing her appearance so that she did not look normal.

## Personality

Before becoming a killer, Natalie was a polite, sophisticated and tragic young woman who just wanted to enjoy her life peacefully with a loving family. Unfortunately, during her upbringing she became more and more distant from her family, the only person she really trusted was her brother, Lucas, until he raped her at the age of nine. During her years of the sexual abuse, she fell silent, hard to talk to and awfully anti-social. She would talk when she had to, but to anyone who wanted to help her, Natalie would shut down entirely.

After sixteen years Natalie snapped, becoming a deranged sadistic serial killer. She stalks her victims at night and psychologically breaks them. She tortured her own brother by mutilating his insides, killed her mother then mutilated her father by compressing his stomach until his organs burst out of his mouth, all with a twisted smile and insane laughter. carved up her family, Natalie burned them all in the house.

As of now, Clockwork noticeably has limits to who she likes and dislikes, ignoring the fact she has a sociopathic mind she still cares for very few people. She hides her weakness with hostile waves of aggression and insanity. To the people whom she hates, she is more brash and unapologetic. It is extremely rare for Clockwork to genuinely like someone.

## Powers and Abilities

Similar to Jeff the Killer, Clockwork is extremely tough, strong, and fast. Clockwork also has a pocket watch clock in replace of her eye her regular eye gives a extremly dim and barly noticeable glow, which is a sign of her presence. Clockwork is also anomalous with the fact she broke steal chains while being tied to a bed, even though she was heavily sedated, she is also almost completely immune to pain.

Clockwork is a highly skilled murderer and the very definition of the word 'sadist', she's intelligent and murderous, and able to easily sneak into someone's house and murder them without being detected. However, much like Jeff the Killer, she is still young, although she is 16 and would seem to be smarter than Jeff. This could be the case, but she is incredible reckless and slightly incompetent, as she doesn't detect the obvious place her brother was hiding in before he came out and attacked her. Her arrogance and sadism would also get the better of her, as she's known for mutilating her victims for an oddly long period of time, which could catch her off guard and have her arrested. Thus, she earns an 8 on the danger level.
