I still remember her first victim, I was only 5 at the time. I was in my room when I heard mom and dad yelling, and then dad was screaming, then a loud thud. I got scared and wanted to know what was going on so I went to see what happened. It was the first part of my life that started to break me. My father was dead on the floor, a knife in his head and pure terror forever stuck on his face. I was frozen for a moment until I realized I was screaming. I started to cry the most I ever have in my life. I looked down and saw his pool of blood had started to reach my feet, they were being stained red and it just made me cry more. I looked to my mom for comfort but then I saw her face. It was twisted with anger and it looked like she would kill me next. I was completely terrified, I didn't know what was happening. Then my mother spoke.
"So-yi." Her voice was dull and cold. I never heard her speak like this before, it wasn't helping at all.
"So-yi listen to me, your father was a very bad man. Mommy had to get rid of him so he couldn't do bad things anymore. This is for the best So-yi." She then walked over to me and knelt down, and then she striked me very hard in the throat. My crying stopped and was replaced with fits of coughing, I was becoming more terrified of her. I wanted to ask why she did that but my throat hurt so much that I couldn't talk, I was just stuck there terrified.
"Sweetheart, mommy had to do that so you wouldn't scream anymore. Now listen very carefully to me, you can never tell anyone what I did ok. Because if you did then mommy would have to hurt you even more because you would be a bad person like daddy if you told on me. Mommy doesn't want to hurt you, I want to keep you forever. So I am just making sure you can't tell so that way I won't have to hurt you ok." She then kept looking at me waiting for a response. Her face and changed from anger to blank but it was still equally terrifying. I simply nodded out of fear, I didn't want to end up like dad. Her usual warm expression then came back and she hugged me.
"That's a good girl, always be mommy's good little girl So-yi." Over her shoulder I could still see my dad's corpse, it was as if he was staring at me. I began to cry again and tried my best to speak at a quiet level.
"O-ok *hic* mom-mmy."
