✔️Taming My Monster

1. Trouble

Tzuyu's PoV

"For the last time, Tzuyu. How many times do I have to tell you that you can't just hurt normal people! They are not the same as you!" My father yelled at me after we got home from school.

I didn't bother to look at him. I know that it will be the same thing that I'll see. His disappointed eyes.

"I'm sorry—"

"You've been saying that since we got here! But you keep doing it! You know we can't always tell your victims to shut their mouth when you literally just tried to end their lives!"

"I've told you before. And you said you understood what I said. Keep. Your. Monster. Down." He said, emphasizing each of the words of his last sentence.

"I tried, believe me, dad. But they were the ones who were pushing me to my limits." I said, trying not to yell back.

Dad sat on his chair as he shut his eyes closed.

"Just leave, go to your room. I don't want to talk to you. You're such a disappoint." He said for the last time.

I didn't dare to look at him again, and walked out of his office to run to my room.

This is an everyday situation. I go home, but instead of parents asking me if I had a great day, those words welcome me.

It's not that I am not used to it. Ever since, since I was a child... My own family was the first one to call me a monster.

And the ironic is, this monster they've been calling is afraid of them. Especially to my dad.

I just leaned on my closed door and still hear them talking, my mom and dad.

I can hear them loud and clear. One of the monster's ability.

"We have no choice but to transfer her again. For the sixth time on her high school life." I heard mom said.

"What else can we do? I already have a school for her." Dad said.

"I don't know what to do know. She's getting out of the hand. She's 18, she'll sooner do what she wants to do."

I woke up and it's already in the middle of the night. I felt that I need to get some water, so I went out of my room to go to the kitchen.

Everyone by this time is surely sleeping. I know since I've been doing this lately. Waking up in the middle of the night for I don't know why.

I opened the fridge to get a cold water. Transfering it to a glass so I could drink it. But the coldness of the water doesn't satisfied me enough. I opened the freezer and saw ice which would help for sure.

But something caught my eyes. I froze in my place as I saw the freezing meat  on the freezer.

A thirst crawls down to my throat. Not for water but for something more. I could say that it's a new one. Although blood is frozen, I can see that It can satisfy my hunger.

"Tzuyu."

I was startled as I heard someone called me. I looked back and saw my mother. Standing in fear, while looking somewhere else... On my hand.

I looked at myself, realized I am holding something cold. The same frozen meat that I saw on the freezer.

"I-I just want to get some ice." I immediately explained and turned back what I'm holding.

I closed the freezer, and just give mind on the pitcher that I took out a while ago.

Drinking cold water won't satisfy my craving especially now that my tongue is yearning for meat.

"G-go to your room after. You have to wake up early." Mom said, still with visible fear.

Even my mom who gave birth on me is afraid of me. Fearing that one day, I'll feast on the flesh of the people who give life on me.

I left the kitchen and walked to my room. I laid on my bed, as I talked to the ceiling before I closed my eyes in sleep.

"Did you pack your things?" Dad asked as he entered my room.

I looked at my luggages containing my clothes and other important things for me.

"May I know why I need to do this?" I asked.

Obviously, my mind is saying that they will throw me away from this family, but I still asked them.

"We need to transfer you to another school—"

"With my things?"

"The school is far from here, so you need to stay there. They have a dorm for their students."

I want to laugh after he said that. But that is how they know me.

Do they seriously think that it will be much better for me? They'll be like putting prey closer to me.

"But we'll visit you every weekend. This is your last chance, Tzuyu. Don't disappoint me once again." He said and left my room.

I stood up and dragged my luggages out of my room. I loaded it by myself since we don't have anyone here in our house. It's just me, my mom, and dad.

They didn't hire anyone despite of having a power to do that. I mean we are not that poor. Where do you think my parents get the money that they used to bribe those "victims" of mine.

They didn't hire any because they were afraid that those people will find out my secret.

More like they don't want the people to find out how they treat their one and only daughter for me.

I saw dad and mom were already in the car. After loading my things, I get in the backseat and closed the door.

Dad started the car and drive wherever that school is. And for some reason, I have a feeling that it will be a very long ride.

I was sleeping deeply as I suddenly heard something loud. Our car seemed hit something which woke me up.

I didn't dare to ask what happened first. The first thing I realized as I opened my eyes is forest. We were in fucking forest.

"What's that?" Mom asked.

Dad didn't reply but stepped out of the car. He looked in front of the car as if checking if we hit something.

"Why are we here?" I asked mom.

"This is the way to your school."

I don't want to believe her coz who the hell would build a school that is way on forest? But I know if mom is lying. And she's not.

Dad walked back and opened the door just to say that we hit nothing. But before he could finally enter the car, something grab him out of the car. It's so fast that I didn't even saw what is it. The only thing I heard is mom yelling for dad now.

I immediately stepped out of the car as I find where it goes. I smell a disgusting smell not so far but it's slowly fading. I immediately run there and found my father being hovered by a wild bear and ready to kill him.

"Dad!"
