When Giselle Opten was young- very young, she grew up with a family that was almost always broken up. Her father was an abusive drunk, who often times took his anger out on Giselle and her mother. Her father Aurthor wouldn't even care if he was dragging his wife by her hair across the room with poor little Giselle watching. She wouldn't be able to stop him from hurting her mom, so why would he care?

"Aurthor! I can't believe you! You promised this wouldn't happen again!" screamed Kate, Giselle's mother.

"You think I care you stupid bitch!"

"Please! Not around our daughter!"

"I don't care--"

"Giselle sweety, go get your father's newspaper out on the patio.." With a quick nod, Giselle walks outside to collect the weekly papers. Stunned at the sunset, Giselle stands out side as she now lets her mind wonder. Soon enough Giselle snaps out of it. She grabs the newspaper and slowly walks inside with caution. She hears the screaming get more severe as she hides behind the door; peaking out listening to what they are fighting about once more. Kate storms up the stairs with Aurthor following.

"Leave me alone! You Cheater! All these times you left us and went to go get drunk, you were with Kay?!"

"Whatever, bitch! Don't act surprised!"

"Aurthor get out! Get out of my house! We don't need you here!"

"Your joking? You think I'm leaving?! This is my fucking house!"

Kate leans against the stair railing as Aurthor starts screaming and cussing in her face. He gets closer, and closer as Kate starts to loose her balance. Her foot quickly tries to hit the next step because Aurthor is leaning on her and she is scared of her husband flipping her over the rail. Kate tries to make an quick escape. She tries to slide her foot onto the next stair and tries to hold onto the rail to pull herself away from him, but looses her balance and her grip of the railing and falls down all 20 stairs of their big beautiful home. Kate bumps her head on almost every stair, and eventually falls lifeless on the floor with her legs perched up on the last few steps. Giselle's blue-green eyes open wide as the newspaper falls from her hand. Aurthor rushes down the stairs and grabs his wife's hand as he reaches for the home phone. Eventually the Police arrive and push through the door. Although all the commotion is about, young Giselle can only stand on the side and stare at her mother's lifeless body with tears dripping down her face; as a pool of blood forms around her mom's head, growing larger and larger.

Fast forwarding 10 years later, Giselle is now 17 and a young adult. To this day she blames her father for everything that happened June 14th 2006. She hated him ever since. Eventually he remarried to a girl named 'Kay'. The same 'Kay' that started the fight in June years ago. She despised Kay. Giselle had lived with her dad her whole life (who she hates), and now that home-wrecking whore Kay moves in years later. Kay even made Giselle do more chores than what she needed to do, and even more chores that are totally unnecessary- even on her birthday. Since Giselle just turned 17, she wants to go out with friends, party, and have a good time. But of course her dad and step-mom won't let her go. Instead, she is forced to clean the guest bedroom of their new house as Aurthor and Kay get shit-faced drunk in the kitchen. Both Kay and Aurthor got abusive while drunk, but it's not as bad as when they go off on her in a sober state.

The main reasons why Giselle hated Kay, was because shes the reason why her mother died, her name is similar to her mother's, and lastly, Kay and Aurthor also have a son together, who is 15 named Mitch, who Giselle hates because he is the creation of the two most rotten basters ever. Giselle can't take it. She can't take this life anymore. "Is this even a life?" she asks herself. Giselle needed out while 15 year old Mitch is asleep, and while Aurthor and Kay are drunk. Because Giselle has been used and abused her whole life from her father, and her loving is gone, she must get back at Kay.

Giselle creeps from the guest bedroom to the kitchen to see if Aurthor is still with Kay. They are both so drunk they can barely stand. As the stereo blasts, Kay and Aurthor are sitting on the floor kissing each other and laughing at nothing. "Disgusting" Giselle quietly spats out as she ducks and hides behind the kitchen counter out of the drunk's view. She slowly and carefully reaches her hand up onto the counter and feels for the knives. As she slides her hand around on the counter top, she feels a large handle of what seems to be some sort of kitchen knife. Giselle instantly grabs what she feels wasting no time. She peers down of what one of her small, long nailed, feminine, lady-like, dainty hands hold before her.
"Score!" she thinks to herself. She grabbed a brand new, never used, sharp meat cleaver.

Giselle instantly crawls out of the alcohol smelling kitchen. Once she is out of plain sight, she holds the cleaver behind her back. She then breathes in and out and quietly walks up stairs. She turns right, goes down the hall, takes a left and faces the bathroom which has another door on the inside that leads to Mitch's bedroom.

Giselle knew his bedroom door was locked from the inside, so she has to get in through the bathroom door. Giselle quickly jogs to Aurthor's bedroom and pulls a pair of thin rubber gloves from it's box. Aurthor had spare rubber gloves because he used to be a dentist (hints why she has money, and probably one of the reasons why Kay married him), but later on in his carrier he got fired and turned into a rich, drunk asshole. She then puts on the rubber gloves on and slides on a pair of Kay's light blue gloves on that she found on Kay's dresser in the room over from Aurthor. She put them on so the finger prints of Kay that is already on the gloves, will make it look like Kay did everything Giselle was about to do.

Then Giselle checked the bathroom door if Mitch forgot to lock it. "I was right.." she whispers to herself as she opens the door carefully, but then keeping it open behind her. "Damn it!" the actual door that leads to Mitch's room was locked. Giselle wiggles the door knob a few times weakening the springs and circuits in the door knob, making it look Kay struggled to get into the room because she was probably drunk or tipsy. Then Giselle does what she has to do: she tries to be careful not to wake her step brother, but at the same time tries to make it look bold, like the person trying to get in didn't care. She uses the back handle of the cleaver (that has a plastic piece still over the handle) to break the little glass window of the door to put her hand through and unlock the door.

Surprisingly, because the booming music still going on downstairs; Mitch doesn't seem to be affected by the sound of shattering glass, as he still lays asleep. Giselle carefully reaches through the broken glass and unlocks the door as quickly as she can. Then she walks over to Mitch's bed, again, leaving the door open behind her. She peels off the thin plastic around the handle of the knife, putting it inside of her small dress pocket, before hiding the knife behind her back again. Giselle then stares down at Mitch's body, laying fast asleep. She squeezes her eyes close, takes a breath then opens her eyes again. She proceeds to remove the cleaver from behind her back once again. Giselle holds her weapon with both hands, tightening her grip as she raises it high above her head. Keeping her eyes focused on her target, with all force, slams down the cleaver down into Mitch's throat; fully decapitating his head. Mitch's blood flies up into the air, and splats on the wall, on the knife, and on Kay's long gloves.

Giselle waits no time and quickly flees from the boys room not giving what she did another thought. She jogs into her room, and packs her clothes, shoes, and a few nick-knacks into her luggage. She runs down stairs quickly, and throws off Kay's gloves by the stair case. She then slides on a pair of flats she brought from upstairs. Before she leaves the crime scene, she walks over to the kitchen and looks over at Kay and Aurthor laying down on the floor, dying of laughter.

With a straight face, lifts up her hand and gives them the finger. She walks back to the front door, and pushes it opens it. She then walks onto the patio and closes the door behind her. Giselle then walks down the few patio stairs and across the driveway. As the blaring music starts to fade out; slowly becoming quieter and quieter as she walks farther away from her old home, Giselle whispers: "Fuck You."
