Helios POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Is he behind here?!" My mother's voice shouts playfully. I put my hands up to my mouth, trying to hold my laughter in. "Hm? I guess Helios is too hard to find" She says. The sound of her shoes echos in the room and the sound of the door closing makes me peek my head out of my hiding spot.

I glance around the room and crawl out from under the table. Hands wrap around my waist and pick me up. "I got you!" My mother says, tickling the sides of my stomach. "Mama!" I scream as she tickles me.

The only sound that resonates in the room is our joined laughter. "You win! You win!" I shout at her. Her smiling face becomes clear and she picks me off the floor. She squats and fixes my clothes. "Again! Let's play again!" I say still laughing.

Mama chuckles and stands up, "Okay, one last time. Ready?". I nod my head quickly and blot out of the room, her countdown encourages me to run faster. My feet carry me through the hallways of the house, the decorations become nothing but blurs.

I stop in front of my father's office. "Ready or not, here I come!" My mother's voice yells. Quickly, I open the door and shut it closed. My eyes glance around the room and land on the closet. I climb inside and sit down, waiting until my mother finds me.

A couple of minutes pass and I'm still crouched in the closet. I open the door slightly and listen for any signs of mama. A loud voice booms in the hallways and I immediately get into my hiding spot. A smile forms back on my face, knowing Mama was going to win again.

However, my smile slowly fades when I hear the voices growing louder; angrier. The door slams open and I hear a loud thud. My mother's screams fills my ears as I watch my father hold her hair. "Andrei please!" She cries.

My father grips her mouth and slams her head on the floor. "Enough! You must think I'm so fucking stupid! Fucking my second in command behind my back!" He screams at her. My mother's muffled cries grow stronger and louder. She shakes her head frantically, "No! I swear!".

He lets go of her mouth and his palm connects with her face, whipping her face to the left. My father punches her face and my mother claws at his arms. "Stop! Stop it!" She cries hoping my father will listen. But her pleads fall on deaf ears.

My heart starts to pound and my breathing begins to grow uneven. My father's fist connects with her jaw, "Tell me the truth!". My mother cries, "I didn't sleep with him! It's only you, Andrei! Please just stop! I love you!".

My father's fist stops above her head. He slowly brings his hands to cup her cheek and my mother flinches. "Shh" He whispers at her. "You love me?" He asks, rubbing his thumb on her cheek. "Yes! I love you, Andrei. You and only you" Mama says.

A small smile appears on his face, "Really?". Mama nods her head quickly. "гребаный лжец!" My father screams at her, wrapping a hand around her throat. Tears flood my eyes, strangled cries escape my throat as I hear my mother gasp for air . (Fucking liar)

"μαμά! Get off of her!" I cry out. I open the closet door and stare at my father, who's deadly gaze was now set on me. He releases his grip on my mother's throat and I hear her gasping for air. "What did you say to me?" He says in disbelief. (Stop).
