Dan's house...California

A mixture of emotions was swirling inside of me. A part of me was telling myself that I shouldn't be surprised of what he just said, but another part tells me to grab that gun he was holding and put a bullet jn between his eyes because I'm so shocked.

"Kate!" Jacky tried to stand up to come to me by Dan pushed her back into her seat. He quickly moved to gun to me and Christian. I have put his life in danger. This isn't good at all.

"Both of you come sit down. Now," we both moved as quickly as possible to sit next to Jacky who was now starting to cry.

"Daniel please. Let them go. I'll leave," she pleaded with him but he wasn't having it.

"No. Shut up. Let me think," he was now pacing up and down like a mad man.

"I didn't think this would ever happen. What have I done. How do I fix this," Dan was talking to himself...like a mad man.

Christian wrapped his arms around me to try and comfort me. It work, but only a tad bit.

"You can start by letting us go. We won't say anything to anyone," Jacky wasn't giving up.

"I said shut up!" He yelled.

"Katey! You forgot your-" Jessica's voice made us all look to the entrance of the livingroom. Her gaze me mine and she immediately ran out of the house as if reading my mind to go get help.

Dan chased after her and a few seconds later gun shots were heard. My mind shut down immediately and all I saw was red. Jacky ran after the sound and we immediately heard screams coming from outside. I sat there in Christians arms just frozen.

"He killed her. He.." then she passed out. I still did nothing about it. I just sat there like an idiot. Christian tried to break me from the trance I was in, but it wasn't working.

"Kate! You need to snap out of it. The cops are here and you need to be okay to talk to them."

Cops? When did they get here. How long was I blanked out?

"Kate."

At that moment everything just floated through my mind.

My grandpa's bottle of scotch. The fridge he pinned me up against. My twisted ankle. My grandma's bruises. The knife that killed my mother. The blood she bled. The institute. Jessica. The family photo that was driving me crazy. The case file. Jacky. The woman at the ice rink. Dan's regretful face. And Christian.

The past sixteen years I have lived have been one big joke. And it was quite a funny one.

When I finally broke out of my trance, I felt a heavy blanket over me and the house was empty as if nothing happened. The only reassurance that I wasn't making it all up in my head was Christian sitting opposite me with his head bowed.

"Christian?" My voice was soft.

He lifted his head and he looked like he was yanked out of and elephants ass. "You have finally come back to me," he sighed in relief.

Come back to him?

I quickly brushed away the statement.

"How long was I gone?"

"About two hours. You have to get some rest now." He helped me up to my room into bed. "I'll stay here for tonight."

"Okay thank you," it wasn't hard for me to fall asleep. But it wasn't as easy to ward of any nightmares.

I was running but from what? It was a faceless creature. What does it was from me, I have nothing to offer. Does it maybe want my soul? No, it could't. Why would it want a broken soul like mine? I don't-didn't understand. But it didn't matter why, all I knew was that I had to run. Away from it, away from everything. Because if I didn't...

Something caught on my shoe and distracted me from my thoughts. I was stuck. I couldn't get loose and the creature got closer and closer but still there was no hint of it's identity.

It has got me.....

"You did it Kate..You did it! I saw you." The creature yelled.

"What did I do?"

"I saw you take the knife out of the kitchen drawer. You did it!"

"But I was in my room. On the phone with Tia. How could I have done it?"

"Well how else are you kneeling next to that body? Covered in blood? Holding the weapon in your hands?"

"But you are also covered in blood. It's all over your clothes!" I screamed.

"No Kate. There is no blood on me. You are hallucinating. You did it. Don't try and fight it. Admit it.

"You killed your mother!" The creature continued. Still with no identity.

"No! No! No! Shut up! Who are you? I didn't do it" I couldn't take it anymore.

"Oh but you did Kate," it sounded calm and collected. "Don't worry about who I am. I'm nobody. In fact, I'm not even here," then it disappeared into a cloud of black smoke. Leaving me alone with a dead body.

I did do it.

The then faceless creature had a face this time.

It was Daniel Johnson.

My father.
