32. Richie's death.

RICHIE, on the other hand, was being a freak. He woke up from his bed, rubbing his eyes. He couldn't hit Aurora back because if he DID, Aurora wouldn't spare him.

A/n: TW: This chapter contains a lot of violence and probably sexually assault stuff. You can feel free to skip this chapter!!

He slowly got up from the bed, taking Aurora's hair clip from the nightstand as he tiptoed over to Erika's room. Trying to unlock it before he shoved the hair clip inside the keyhole, picking the door before he managed to unlock it.

He tiptoed inside the room, closing it behind him as he locked the door. Throwing the hair clip aside. "Erika.." He whispered, slowly getting closer to her.

"Wha-" Erika asked sleepily before her eyes slowly opened and quickly realised what was going on. She sat up as she screamed, but Richie covered her mouth with his hand.

"Shut the fuck up." Richie spat, looking down at the girl as he held her. "Why the fuck did you come back?" He asked, not bothering to hide the bitterness in his voice.

"I was in the coma?" Erika responded as her voice got a bit muffled due to his hand on her mouth.

"Shut your fucking mouth up." Richie responded. "I know for a damn fact you weren't in a fucking coma, bitch."

"I was." Erika responded as she tried to pull his hand away, digging her nails onto his hand to get them off her before Richie slapped her across the face. Wait. No. Backhanding her across the face.

"You know what your mother did to me earlier?" Richie asked as he took his shirt off. "Look at this. That fucking whore slapped me across the fucking face because of you." He added, his hands going to his pyjamas. "Now, are you keeping that mouth shut or not?" He asked.

"Get away from me." Erika responded, not wanting to have a chance to KILL him. Even though she desperately wanted to. But she didn't want to just throw her future away for this peace of shit.

Richie raised an eyebrow. "Oh you fucking cunt." He muttered before Erika took her lamp and charged at him. Swinging it across his face.

Richie's face was bleeding as he stood up. His fist clenched as he wiped the blood from his nose. "You're gonna regret doing that, bitch." He whispered as Erika took a deep breath and began running out of the door. Richie sprinted after her as he grabbed a handful of her hair. Dragging her inside the room. He was ready to take advantage of her again. Like he did when she was a kid. A FUCKING KID.

Erika used her demigod powers as she took a baseball bat as she swung it across his face. Watching him trip backwards.

"Fucking bitch! I'm your fucking father for fuck's sake." Richie yelled loudly as his nose began bleeding even more.

"You ruined my fucking life!" Erika sobbed. Kicking him everywhere in his body repeatedly as she broke the bones of his face with her baseball bat. Jeez, this girl had officially lost her mind.

"Richie?" Aurora asked as she stirred awake due to the yelling and loud thuds before her eyes widened in shock. She almost tripped out of the bed as she ran over to the door. "Open this fucking door right now. Richie. GET YOUR FILTHY FUCKING HANDS OFF MY FUCKING DAUGHTER." She yelled. Hearing every scream that he let out. Not Erika, not her daughter . Erika wasn't the one sobbing anymore. He was.

By the time the chaos died down. Aurora's heart clenched as she watched Erika leave the room. "I'm so sorry.." Erika said shakily. Dropping her weapons on the floor as she was covered in blood.

Aurora gasped as she looked at the sight behind her daughter. Richie's half-naked body on the floor. His neck snapped in half. He seemed like he was choked to death by his own teeth and was beaten to death. Stab wounds all over his body.

Aurora trembled as she looked at her daughter. "He tried to do it again, Mama." Erika whispered, not sure what to do next. She didn't want to kill him... yet.

"Call your father. Right now, Erika. I'll deal with this body with him." Aurora said, watching her trembling daughter call her father for the crime she just committed.

The rest was a blur. Erika got out of shower, still trembling with fear as she wore some clothes of her mom's and left the bathroom. As she left, Aurora scooped Erika into her arms. "I'm so sorry, my baby." Aurora sobbed, tears flowing down her face as she apologised for every time she believed her daughter's rapist over her.

Erika wasn't sure what to say. She pulled away from the hug and took a scarf as she wrapped it around herself. Sitting in the living room as Ares took the responsibility to actually give pay a little bit of child support since the gods promised.

"You." Ares said, pointing at Erika as he noticed Erika sitting on the living room. Still trembling as she gazed over at her dad. "I'm proud of you."

Proud of what? Killing my rapist? Jeez, thanks, dad.

"So. What about the body?" Aurora asked, looking at Ares.

"... I'll keep this guy safe with me." Ares joked as Erika gave him a side eye.

"What about Erika?" Aurora asked. She knew it wasn't really normal for gods to actually pay their demigod's mortal parent or demigods any attention. But it seems like Ares just couldn't.. resist Aurora.

(Even I can't)

Ares hesitated as he looked at his trembling daughter. "Pack your bags. I'll come over to pick you up in a while." Ares responded as he picked up a bag and left the room.

Later that night, Erika just stayed in the living room while Aurora told her other kids that their father went to get milk. Or whatever. Now, that is when Erika felt pretty guilty.

It was because of HER that her half-siblings won't get to live with their father. It was because of HER that two innocent kids just lost their father.

Gosh, she felt worse.

But somehow, she felt amazing. This man, he had taken advantage of her childhood for three years straight. She was a kid. A FUCKING kid. She didn't want to kill him right there and then. But the anger just took over her and committed this crime.

But still... she wasn't sure what was gonna happen with her now.
