I didn't mean to kill them.
Oh, I remember every detail— even though I'd prefer I didn't.
The same question still lingers, "Is it you? Should you be the one to blame?" — and the answer is simple.
Yes, yes.
I killed them.
I take no pride in doing so— no pride whatsoever in the murder of my parents.
Not that I meant to— I never intended to kill my family, nor did I find joy or pleasure in doing so.
Every Night, my parents would ask, "Lia, why do you keep opening doors? It isn't funny anymore." —but it wasn't me.
No, it was him.
And her.
And that man too, but they couldn't see.
I was young, and growing up with their cats and dogs, we had got used to the scratching at our doors — but now that they're dead.. It's more unsettling.
One night, when the scratching at our door came, I opened the door.
I wished I didn't, I shouldn't have—but I did, I heard the cries of a puppy.
The puppy, now that I look back on it wasn't a puppy.
A boy, in fact a boy with no arms and no legs— how could he scratch at the door? I don't know.
I woke up my parents, but they saw nothing, I saw everything and after that it all went dark.
Were I seeing things? No, it was all there.
But they couldn't see.
My parents thought I was crazy.
So, I didn't help them, not when I saw it— the rotting nails of that creature.
I regret it.
I thought if I let them see it, they would believe me, not neglect what I said.
No, instead, they screamed at me— told me to run.
But I didn't.
I watched them, and I said nothing as they died.
And I remember what the murder said— I'll see you again, sister.
From that night, I had never been left alone.
