The stars were carefully placed into the sky, some spaced, yet some seeming to be close together. The crescent moon was high in the sky. I jumped down from my tree and ran. I faster faster than I ever had before. Each leg talking a longer stride than the fast until I was at full speed. I jumped fences, and ran across yards with ease. But there was the occasional dog that had almost torn me to shreds. I leaped over another fence and my feet landed on the ground. I looked at the large house, and it's larger backyard. An in-ground pool covered for the season, a dog house, and a few bikes, a paradise for raising kids. I climbed the house just as I had done before. I looked in each window to find which one is hers. I came across a nice room. It was larger than my old room, that's for sure. It's walls were painted a lavender color, and the walls had framed posters, fancy. The room was so clean, so floral, so....grownup in a way. I slid the window up and stepped inside. The lights were off and I hid in the dark room. I heard footsteps coming. I hid in a corner behind the door. And the door swung open, nearly hitting me in the nose.

Lily Reese: "SHUT UP MOM!!! I DON'T CARE!!" She said as she slammed her door.

Then she noticed me. She almost screamed but I managed to tackle her and cover her mouth. Then I heard a worried voice from downstairs.

Mrs.Reese: "Sweetie? Are you okay?"

She tried to scream but my hand blocked her screaming. I couldn't just not answer Mrs.Reese, otherwise she'll know something is up. I made my voice a higher tone, and channeled my inner teenaged snotty attitude.

Me: "I'M FINE MOM, OH MY GOSH!!" I yelled back, I waited nervously for a response.

Mrs.Reese: "Okay Sweetie, I was just wondering."

She bight it. She really bought it. I smiled down at Lily. Her eyes widened when I stared into her eyes.

Me: "You know Lily, your mother is a very kind, and gentle woman. She works very hard just to give you your phone, your flat screen over there, your CD player...."

I threw her to the ground, my hand still over her mouth.

Me: "...and yet, your still treat her like shit."

She struggled under my weight, but couldn't break free of my grasp. I took out my knife and she squirmed even more.

Me: "You know, I might just be doing her a favor."

Tears started running down her face as I cut an F into her forehead.

Me: "Awe, come on now Lily, I really didn't want to do this, but you brought this on yourself. Bad people must be punished, wouldn't you agree?"

I finished the K. And then brought the knife down to her neck.

Me: "Remember when you pushed me down in second grade? And then punched me in fourth? Oh and then kicked me in the gut in fifth? Man, those were the good old days. Time to bring those days to an end."

And just like that. I watched the life leave her eyes. And climbed back out of the window. But not before leaving a little note.

I wonder what the note says? Guess you'll have to read more to find out :)
