" Mom stop! Please!" I yell as my mother gives me my daily beating.
" What did you call me?!" She yells, hitting me twice as hard.
This is it. My mother is going to kill me. As she continues to beat me, I feel my body shutting down with every punch. Just as I'm about to let go and skip away, theirs a loud knock on the door, followed by a
"Police! Open up!"
This is finally my chance to escape. Just as I'm about to yell 'help', my mother clamps a hand to my mouth.
"Say anything or make a noise and you'll be killed by my own two hands" my mother whispers.
I nod as she opens the basement door and throws me down the stairs. I go to the corner like usual and wait for my mother to come down and continue beating me.
As I listen to what's going on upstairs,
I hear the door being unlocked and hearing muffled voices talking back and forth.
"No sir, their is nobody else in this house." I hear my mother say.
'Yes their is' I wanted to shout, but I knew. Couldn't. That would just make my beating worse.
As I try to stay as quite as possible, I feel a tickling in my throat. Before I can stop it, I let out a big " ACHOO!"
Oh no. I'm dead.
"What was that?" I hear a male voice ask. Oh no. He's still here.
"N-nothing?" I hear my mother say, more as a question.
"I'm sorry ma'am, but i'm going to need to check this house. " he says.
I don't hear my mother say anything, so I'm guessing she nodded.
I hear the loose wood on the floor creaking before they come to a stop in front of the door.
"What's this door lead to?" The officer asks."
"A closet sir" my mother lies easily.
" I'm going to need you to open this door immediately. " the officer asks.
I hear the door nob rattle as my mother pushes the door open. The officer walks in and scopes the place out, but doesn't spot me.
"Well I can see that you were telling the truth. I'm very sorry for interrupting your fine day." He says.
Just as he's about to walk up the stairs, I can't help but let out another
"ACHOO"
" what was that?" The office asks.
He starts to walk towards my hiding spot when my mother pulls something out.
Just as he's about to reach me, my mother pulls a trigger and he's on the floor with blood leaking through his clothes.
" let's go. We need to get far away from her. Go pack your stuff and get in the car. You have 5 minutes." My mother says
She goes upstairs as I just look open mouthed at the dead figure in front of me.
She just killed and innocent person for no reason at all.
At that point of time, I knew this. My mother was a killer.
And I need to escape
