...

In his voice I could hear that he had drunk again. Fear sprouted inside of me and with every breath I took, the fear grew.

Without thinking about it for another second, I followed his command and walked slowly to him. I didn't dare to look at him when I stepped into his field of vision.
I lowered my eyes to the ground and I noticed that the letter was no longer there. As soon as I put my first foot into the kitchen his angry voice thundered on me:

"How dare you?"

"W-what?" I answered with a trembling voice in a kind of ignorance. Of course I knew where he was going and in retrospect I regretted my thoughtless answer.

"What? WHAT? Oh, don't play dumb you sassy brat!" At the very moment my father hit the table he was sitting at with full force, so that the whiskey glass fell to the ground and shattered into a thousand pieces. His voice shook with rage.

He lowered his voice again and he slowly went on in a derogatory tone: "So it is common for you monstrosities to disregard any kind of respect, to rummage around in other people's private possessions and then brazenly lying into their face?"

Very slowly he straightened up and with every word he said he came one step closer to me, closer and closer, until I slowly went backwards to evade him. Before I knew it, I had arrived at the wall against which he held me down. Intimidated by him I pinched my eyes and turned my face away from him. He was now so close to me that I breathed in his smell of alcohol with every word he said.

"Look at me when I talk to you!" The quieter and more definite his words became, the more threatening they seemed to me.

Never in my life I've perceived so much fear I now felt towards the man who was my father.
I was to terrified to look at him but that was a mistake. He grabbed my jaw and dragged my head violently in his direction.

"LOOK AT ME!!" and at the moment he yelled at me I felt a sharp pain in my face by the slap he gave me.

I whimpered at the contact of his hand with my skin and tore my eyes open. My eyes were clouded by my tears, my fear and the pain but his burning rage was unmistakable. His eyes reflected the will to kill. What I wouldn't do to escape his firm grip.

"I-I didn't w-want..."

"You didn't want to? How ridiculous! Just look at you! You start crying at the slightest touch! Like you are the victim! As if it's my fault! You alone are to blame for all this shit!"

"P-p-please..."

"Please!?" His hand was still firmly on my jaw. He tightened his grip again and I felt his fingernails drilling into my skin. I thought for sure that his grip left bruises. I noticed that my heartbeat became irregular.

"Well, but there is something good. I don't have to pretend that I care about you anymore, now you know how I feel about you. I hate you, Y/N! You're nothing but a pathetic disappointment, an annoying plague and an enormous mistake! If I hadn't loved your mother so indescribably, you had never been. I never wanted you and I don't want you here now!" I saw tears filling his eyes.

"I think it would be better for both of us if we end this now and here..."

"No! Please let..." another slap took my opportunity to say anything else.

"No? NO?" He started to laugh morbidly. With every second that went by his laughter became more hysteric and it quickly resembled shouting rather than laughter.

"I want you monstrosity to burn in hell!"

His hand found its way off my face abruptly and went to my throat. Suddenly he started choking me. My heart made a leap. Sudden panic spread through me and I prayed to god that he would let go soon. But my hope was short-lived. As he tightened his grip I struggled and struggled for air. Full of panic I reached with both of my hands for his and with all my strength I tried to detach them from my throat, but my father was much stronger. Gasping for air I felt the upcoming numbness. I felt how my strength left me more and more, but it was still enough to defend myself at last second.
