King Pin

"You have to, Shi".

That was my dad talking. I was sitting in the living room, crying silently, looking at my bloody friend sprawled out on the floor. His shirt tattered, his skin blistered red, blood constantly gushing from his open wounds. He was bleeding everywhere, my mom was going to be mad.

His blood mixed with the white carpet, i squeezed the white decorated pillow and I squeezed my eyes, trying to forget this picture. Why couldnt I be normal? Just like any other normal girl in this world.

My dad stared at me, waiting for me to take the glock in my hands. "Take it Shi, he is an enemy. Enemies dont live". He stared at me whith his dark eyes,his dreads swaying as he rocked back and forth on his toes impatiently. I could tell he was getting mad, I hated when he got mad.

I slowly took the heavy steel in my hands and aimed it at my friend Pook, skull. The tears were really streaming now, making my face itchy. I whipped them away, and tried to steady the heavy steel in my hands.

"Please, Shi, dont do this". Pook looked at my father with sorrow in his light brown eyes. "Please Shawn man, dont kill me. I didnt mean to steal, I have a family to support man, I just needed the extra money".

My arms went limp as I stared at Pook disfigured face. He was my friend, he was only 15 years old! I felt so sorry for him, my heart wasnt as cold as my fathers.

My father seen my hand go down and sighed with frustration. He pulled out a simiar wepon and shot Pook 3 times in the skull. I dropped with him and cried out. My father always kept his business away from home, this was the first time I ever witnessed one of his many killings. I shook with fear, half thinking what would he do to me since I didnt do as I was told and half mourning for my friend. I was his daughter, but that didnt mean I was dissmissed from his rath. He killed My uncle, his oldest brother for trying to steal his money. Nobody was safe from Shawn King.

"Clean this shit up before my wife gets home". My dad pointed to the mess to his trusted workers standing silently around. They immediatly got to work before he could say another word.

He turned to walk but then stopped in his tracks and stared at me. I could feel his eyes, they were burning through my flesh, only if looks to kill. I looked up at daddy and followed him to his study. Snot and tears were mixing on my face, I could hear my twin sisters laughing at me now, laughing at how much of a coward I had been.

Daddy sat down at his mohagany desk and twirled a little bit in his leather swivel chair. He fixed the family photo's that surronded the massive desk and shuffled some papers here and there. The whole time I stood infront of him, sniffling, trying to hold back my tears.

"Shi". He finally said. He took a deep breath and stood up. He stood next to his book case that took up the whole back wall. "I love you".

"I love you too daddy", I sniffled.

"Do you really?". His questioned caught me off gaurd. His voice got a little higher. "Do you really love me? Do you really love this family?". He was grilling me now.

"Yes of course I do." I was stumbling over my words.

"If someobody steals from this family, if somebody takes money away from us, YOU KILL THEM. NO QUESTION. YOU NEVER LET YOUR GAURD DOWN WITH NOBODY. NOT EVEN FAMILY. YOU HEAR ME SHI? ARE YOU REALLY FUCKING LISTENING? STOP CRYING? MAN THE FUCK UP. I DONT CARE IF YOU ARE A GIRL, YOU ARE A KING, WE ARE NOT SUCKERS. WE SHOW NO MERCY".

I had stopped crying and was now whimpering, my father never yelled, even when he was the maddest, he never raised his voice.

Daddy walked over to me and raised my chin. He was 6'3, which towerd over my 5'6 frame. His stocky body intimiated me. He twirled my dreads in his fingers and kissed me on the forehead, then walked back to his chair and sat down. "I dont ever want to see that again. You will bring honor to this family and you will catch a body before your 18th birthday".
