"No! No! Please! Stay away!" The woman ran, begging me. Her death came a lot sooner than she thought. Her fault for trusting strangers... even when they 'need help'.

She looked desperate. So desperate to get away. Her eyes glanced down at the blade in my hand whenever she looked back at me while running. I'm sure she was praying to God as she ran away. Praying that he will save her even though she's running from the devil himself.

I kept my eyes on her while I walked not far behind. I looked down at the dead jasmine flower tucked into the chest pocket of my white shirt. Quite a pretty thing... I've had it since last week, picked it up from a bench in this exact park. I've kept it tucked into every shirt I wear, not sure why, but I just like the look of it.

"No please! I didn't do anything wrong!"  She began to speed up. I could tell the girl was sobbing. Running so fast that I could keep up with her while walking? Some people really need to get their speed up.

I looked at the knife in my hand and tossed it up into the air before catching it and throwing it directly at her. Causing her to abruptly stop running as the thing lodged straight into the back of her head. She fell onto the ground with a thud and blood slowly seeped out.

I walked up to her dead body and crouched down to pick up my blood-stained knife. I brought it up to inspect it and the colour of her blood. A little droplet dripped down onto my little jasmine flower. I looked down at the droplet as it slowly made its way down the petal and into the centre.

"They always think they can escape me... about time they should learn." I said to myself as I glanced back at the woman. "Quite a chick though. Eh, too bad... it's good I got rid of her before I could have talked with her, she was a bad person if I had to kill her."

I stood up and sighed as I looked down at the dead woman. I knew I had to get home fast or else I would get in bad trouble by my sister.

I rushed home as quickly as I could and walked into my house. My sister and father were talking in the kitchen and I decided to eavesdrop on what they were saying.

"But father! He's younger than me. It wouldn't be fair for him to take over the company if it has always been the oldest's duty to inherit the properties." I heard my sister say. I flinched at her words, how could she bring herself to speak to father that way?

I hear a yelp come from the kitchen. I peak inside and see my father gripping my sister by her hair; making her look up at him. "You will do as I say. And if I say that the company will be going to Kunikuzuzhi, that means it's going to be going to Kunikuzushi. You hear me? I hope you know not to talk back to me next time."

I quickly get out of there to not get caught by father. I rush to my room and slam my door shut. Before flopping down onto my bed and staring up at the ceiling, lost in my thoughts.

I run my fingers through my hair before quickly glancing down at my dead jasmine flower, which made my eyes widen and I stared down at it in shock. Once, it was a wilted white flower but now it was blooming a very recognizable deep blood red.
