0001: Loki's A Monster

Loki's A Monster

Tears welled up in my eyes after I did the thing that made me happy, I feel like I managed to break free from the chain that once held me.

I finally found the key to unlock the chains that was hugging me,

And now I can utter the word that 'I am free'

My hands were handcuffed while two policemen held me tightly on either side. I can feel the pain while seeing those people glaring at me. My clothes were full of blood when they took me to jail.

We were just walking into the jail that I was not familiar with, I didn't know what kind of place was inside.

"What place is this po, kuya?" I asked. We suddenly stopped for a moment, they looked at me and I heard their laughter but suddenly one of them became serious and spoke.

"This is a place you don't want to dream of, because this place is for sinners. You're still young, why did you do that?"

"T-the place I don't want to dream of?" I stopped for a moment and I remember the place I used to live but now it's a nightmare that I don't want to experience again. "Nothing beats the place where I don't want to go back again, but I think I'm going to love this place." I smiled bitterly.

"You will regret what you did, Loki right?" aniya.

"Regret? I reget to live with them. I wish I was never born." I said as I looked into the void until I didn't realize that we were already inside this place.

There, I saw my brother and sister sitting while waiting for me. "A-ate, kuya, malaya na ako." I happily spoke to them while tears were already dripping from my eyes.

"Bakit mo pinatay ang mga magulang natin?" my sister shouted at me when I got close to them, while the two policemen were still holding me tightly.

"Mali ba iyong nagawa ko?" I ask innocently.

"Masaya ako dahil sa wakas ay nakalaya na ako... Sa kanila." I said as I smiled at them.

"You killed them, Loki. Hindi ba iyon mali?" they both shouted at me as if i'm the only one to blame here.

"Paano mo nagawang patayin ang mga magulang natin. You're a monster, Loki."

"Loki's a monster?" I uttered to my self.

am I a monster?

I smiled as I remember the night I killed them.

I'm making coffee for dad. I handed it to him smiling while he was watching T.V in the living room.

I waited for dad to drink coffee to get a compliment from him which I did well but...

"Fuck! Gusto mo ba akong lasunin, Loki?" he quickly blew out the coffee he had sipped from the cup in my face.

"H-hindi po, papa. Tinimpla ko po iyan para sa iyo." I said smiling even though tears were started falling from my eyes.

But I just screamed in pain after he poured the hot coffee in the cup on my face. I quickly went upstairs and looked in the mirror. Kitang-kita ko ang namumulang buong itsura ko at nasunog ito dahil sa mainit na kape na ibinuhos ng aking ama.

I cried all night and I only stopped when my mom called me.

"Loki, tumigil ka sa kalukuhang ginagawa mo. Tulungan mo ako sa kusina dahil darating na bukas ang mga kapatid mo." she said in a serious voice. I did nothing but follow her.

She made me cut the vegetables she was going to cook. I tried not to make mistakes in what I was doing but I failed. I didn't do well what my mom asked me to do so I was too nervous that I couldn't look at her.

Before she even came close to me, my hands were shaking.

"S-Sorry po, mama. H-hindi ko po sinasadya."
I said crying but that's no reason for her not to do what she does to me every time I make a mistake.

"How many times do I have to tell you that there should be nothing wrong with what I am asking you to do?" she angrily said as she stabbed me with the knife.

She cut me five times with the knife and that's when I felt the pain again and I could feel the blood dripping down the side of my stomach. As usual I cried and quickly went upstairs and looked in the mirror... again.

I could see myself crying in the mirror. My face is burnt and full of scars because of dad. And my whole body is full of knife cuts because of mom.

While we were eating, mom and dad were talking happily because my brother and sister from abroad will finally be able to go home tomorrow. While I was just quietly eating.

After a while they suddenly fell down and lost consciousness. It was only then that I realized that I had put sleeping pills in the water they drank. Before they woke up, I immediately tied them up.

"What the hell are you doing, Loki? Are you insane? Pakawalan mo ako." he shouted.

Tumawa lamang akong lumapit sa kaniya na may hawak na heater sa kamay na bagong kulo lamang.

"In the past years, you always just splashed me with hot water if you didn't like the coffee I made for you, dad." I stated bitterly.

I slowly poured the hot water on his face. The only thing I could hear was his scream that attracted my ears.

I can see how much he is struggling. "Does it hurt, dad?"

"You finally experienced what I experience every time you pour hot water on me, dad." I smiled and took a cup of coffee.

I opened his mouth and forced him to drink it. "dad, the coffee you're drinking is good as me before. I know you will like it"

His mouth began to foam until he lost his breath. It's a poison.

I laughed like crazy and turned my gaze to mom who was very scared while looking at me.

I next targeted my mother. I'm in front of her now with a knife in my hand that she uses to stab me every time I do something wrong.

"Mama, nakagawa ako ng mali. Pero ako naman ang sasaksak sayo ngayon." I uttered.

I started stabbing her using the knife she uses to me every time I make a mistake. A lot of blood splattered on my body but I laughed even louder until she lost her life.

After I told them what I did, no one spoke. They were all stunned by what I said and couldn't believe it.

"Before I became a monster, I used to be an angel." I said with tears in my eyes as I looked at them.
