Caught In The Trap-HTGAWM

ELEVEN

Annora sat in her room, becoming startled, as she heard her parents yelling throughout the house. She contemplated going out for a while but it was a loud bang as if something was thrown that made her leave. Not wanting to draw any attention she slowly walked to her door, opening it swiftly to avoid noise.

Once the door was open she slowly stepped out and took time walking down the stairs. About midway down she stopped, peaking her head over the railing to see the commotion. Sam walked into the foyer with Annalise trailing behind him, shouting words about her mysterious new lover.

Sam suddenly turned around wrapping his hands around Annalise's neck and slamming her against the wall. "And I think of Lila every time I try to get off with you!" He hissed into her face squeezing his hands harder. "Stop! Get the hell off my mom!" Annora quickly ran down the steps placing her hands on Sam's bicep trying to pull him off.

Annalise had tears streaming down her face looking into Sam's eye. "I bet you did. Killing her, huh? You enjoyed it, didn't you? Strangling her? Feeling the life go out of her body? You still think about it, don't you?"

Annora looked between the broken couple tearfully her voice breaking as she spoke, "M-mom, please stop." The eldest Keating woman paid no mind to her daughter, still staring into the man's eyes who had his hands wrapped tightly around her throat.

"Your hand around her neck while you were still inside of her. It's exciting you right now, isn't it? Remembering it? You want to do it to me now, don't you? Go ahead. Kill me. Kill me. But don't you dare lay a finger on my daughter." Annora took a sharp breath in still tugging on Sam's arm as it wouldn't budge. She couldn't handle her mother egging him on, fearing he would actually kill her and she'd have to watch. "Mom, stop it!"

Sam's grip grew tighter on Annalise's neck while tears flew down from Annora's face while she watched the scene. "Kill me!" Her mother screamed out in strangled breaths. Slowly, Sam let go of her neck causing Annora to let go of him and pull her mother away.

She brought her mother to her side holding onto her tightly. Sam glared into Annalise's eyes as she struggled to catch her breath. "You're a monster." "'Monster,' huh? Is that all you got? You can do better than that." Even with her brave words and confident posture, the fear in Annalise's voice of evident.

"You want the truth?" Sam questioned, his gaze switching between the two woman, one showing fear more than the other. "You're nothing but a piece of ass. That's what I saw when I first talked to you in the office that day, 'cause I knew you'd put out. That's all you're really good for, dirty, rough sex. That I'm too ashamed to tell anyone about. That's how foul you are, you disgusting slut."

Annalise took in a shaky breath, moving her eyes to the floor for a moment then bringing them back to the man she called her husband. "Well... at least your were finally able to tell the truth." The hurt was clear in her voice. Annalise turned away, leaving her daughter's grip and making her way towards the door not turning back.

Her daughter watched with great confusion as the door closed behind her mother, leaving her with the man she just watched strangle her only present parent. "I-I'm leaving too just, g-give, give me a moment to go, uh, go get my things." She quickly turned her back running up the stairs.

Once she entered her room she slammed the door closed whilst locking her. Tears continued to roll down her cheeks as she thought back to the previous events. Breaths coming out uneven, heart beating faster than it ever has, blurry tear filled eyes.

She placed her heart on her chest scrambling around her room looking for the small plastic object. Once she found it she quickly brought it to her mouth, breathing in two pumps.
