Hitwoman (ON HOLD FOREVER)

22

"You little piece of shit," My dad says with an evil smile as he stands up from the floor. Blood streaming down his face from the bullet hole in the middle of his head. He spits some blood from his mouth before he walks towards me, his body swaying back and forth. Every step he takes sending chills down my spine. I move backward as he approaches me but stop as soon as my back hits a wardrobe.

A dead end.

I raise the gun in my little blood-stained shaky hands and face it towards him, making his smirk turn to a demonic grin.

"You already tried that remember?" He says pointing at the middle of his head. "You can't get rid of me sweetheart, come on, let daddy take you to your mummy," He says as he approaches me with outstretched hands. I press the trigger twice and the bullets hit him swaying him back and forth again but not taking him out. I keep shooting until he stops moving and finally falls down, his body jerks violently before it stops and blood oozes from his body. I stand up in my blood-soaked dress and walk to the body on the floor, staring at it with hate and fear, his body covered in bullet holes, with blood seeping from his mouth. My mum walks into the room and sees the body on the floor and puts her hand over her mouth as she begins to cry, her body shaking. She bends down and starts to touch the body, shaking it and calling his name from time to time. She turns back and looks at me with bloodshot eyes making me jerk back a little.

"How could you Claudia?" She asks while still crying.

"I.."

"HOW COULD YOU?" She screams before she turns back to the body and places her head on his chest, wailing loudly. I look at her before I raise my head up and see the older me walking out of the shadows with a gun in my hand, hovering over my mum and my dad's dead body. Older me looks at younger me and smirk before she raises the gun and faces my mum's head.

"NO" I scream.

BANG.

"Nooooo" I scream as I jump out of the covers while breathing roughly. My heart trashing in my chest, my ears ringing loudly, sweat droplets sticking all over my face. I tug at my hair with both hands while I stare at the covers, trying my best to calm my breathing.

Another nightmare.

I fall back down on the bed while my violent breathing calm's down. I look to my right and keep staring at the nightstand, trying my best to piece together what my dream could possibly mean. I have always had nightmare's about my dad, most having to do with things that might have occurred in the past but this one is new.

Me killing my dad, while also killing my mum.

It's like the more I try to make sense out of it, the more confusing it gets.

I take deep breaths before I stand up from the bed after knowing I was totally calm. I turn towards Tracy and look at the TV and see a select character menu from Mortal Kombat. I look back at Tracy and she doesn't look like she's tapping the pad, let alone selecting a character.

"Tracy" I call her name as I walk towards her."Tra.." I'm cut short after I walk in front of her and I'm greeted by a snoring little girl. Her head is tilted to the right and the headphones on her ear are disorganized slightly while her mouth is wide open, her hand still clutching the pad gently. Guess she needed sleep too. I smile at her before taking the headphones off her ear and the pad out of her hand. I lift her from the floor and walk towards the bed, I push the covers aside a bit before placing her on the bed and putting the covers over her. She snuggles into the comforter and smiles a bit before she turns and continues sleeping making me stare at her like a mother would at her cute little and innocent daughter.
