Children of a Murderer

My favorite toy has always been my pink sunshine barbie doll. Mommy was the one who got it for me. I had played with the doll all day, that day. I named her Honey, Mommy said it was the color of her hair, perfect for her. I asked Mommy why she named me Elizabeth. She said the name suited me.

So I guess everything has a name that suits it. Mine is Elizabeth, Micheal's is Micheal. Evan is Evan. Dad is William. 

I sat here, playing with Honey. She had a crazy story, you see. 

She was an orphan, a nobody really. She didn't have a social life, no distant relatives who wanted her, nothing. Honey didn't even have her own name, it was given to her by Sasha (aka Mommy), her very first caretaker. Sasha played with Honey. She provided Honey with food and bedding when she was a kid. 

When Honey grew up, she fell in love with a townsman. He was everything she could have ever wanted, the perfect boy. He gave her flowers whenever she wished, he cleaned her boots every night without fail, he even warmed up baths just for her! 

But one night he left her. Alone.

Honey didn't know what to do, she was back at square one. And just when things couldn't get worse, Sasha died. Honey was alone in the world, nobody who'd understand.

And then she met the prince. Alexander was his name. He was her prince charming, her happily ever after. The two got married and had eight children!

"And they lived happily ever after!" I exclaimed, finishing my story to Evan.

"Lizzy, don't you think that's a lot?" he asked. "An orphan and then another dead parent?"

I shrugged, brushing Honey's hair. "No. It's basically our story. Just with siblings and a dad," I said. "If anything, it's realistic."

"Are you torturing Evan without me?" Micheal asked, appearing at my bedroom door.

"I'd never torture Evan, Mikey!" I argued. "I was telling him a very important story about Honey and how she became to be who she was and how that's what will happen for me!"

Micheal rolled his eyes. "You mean that silly doll?"

"'That silly doll' is from Mommy!" I screamed. 

The whole house went as silent as a mouse. The only thing you could hear was the creaking and shifting of the home itself. Dad appeared at the door next to Micheal. 

"Son, what did I say about bringing up Clara?" he asked, his voice full of ice and cold. 

Unlike a few moments ago, Micheal seemed tiny compared to Dad standing next to him.

"To not bring her up."

Dad grinned. "So then why did Liz talk about Clara?"

Slap.

Micheal's hand flew to where Dad's had just made contact. Evan buried hisself in my embrace, I tightened it and squeezed my eyes shut.

"Lizzy was just telling me where she got the doll from," he tried.

Slap.

"Don't you dare disrespect me or your family."

Punch.

"Do you hear me?"

Kick. Punch.

Micheal fell to the ground with a thud. I forced myself to look back up. "Come on Micheal. We'll finish this in another setting, perhaps...the kitchen?" Dad's eyes looked crazy.

"Y-yes," Micheal breathed, wiping his bleeding lip.

"Yes what."

"Yes, Dad."

"Good."

And with that, Dad walked away, Micheal stumbling after.

I got up and closed my bedroom door, grabbing my headphones and putting them on Evan's ears. "Stay here, ok?" I said. Evan nodded. "I'll be back soon, just listen to some music while you wait, maybe play the new just dance and let me know if it's good or not when I'm back?"

I left the room, shutting my door as quietly as possible. I heard the sounds of Micheal's wincing and Dad's grunting. I walked down the stairs until the kitchen was visible.

Micheal was on the floor, his eyes wide with terror. 

As soon as I saw what he was looking at my eyes widened with terror, fear. I felt as if I couldn't breathe. My chest was caving in on my lungs, I was drowning in my own fear.

Not Mikey too, I can't lose him too.

It was Dad. But he wasn't alone.

No, not alone at all.

In his right hand, the fateful thing that I wished to never see my father hold.

A knife.

Aimed directly at Mikey's heart.
