The Rising Truth

Tragedy part 2

GO AND READ PART 1 FIRST!

Yes! The angst chapters have arrived. 5 chapters where I am allowed to write to my heart's desire and toy with the lives of my characters. Who will live? Who will die? It all depends on how I feel! YAY! That sounds like a horrible game.

How do you fight against someone who has gone insane?

I am on a two-week break for school so more chapters! Yay!

Thank you for reading and/or commenting/voting

"Shhhh" I hushed Katsuro before placing him in his crib.

Ugh. This past couple of months have been stressful and exhausting. Work, a child, a husband who works late and a cousin who just started his first serious relationship. Also, stopping my relative from killing Shoma is exhausting. The first incident was Chie pouring poison in Shoma's drink leading me having to throw in the antidote without having him notice. The other was when Chie sent a damn contractor to try and kill him but I was able to call security beforehand. Honestly, this family is exhausting.

This won't end. This cycle won't end unless you break the wheel. But Shoma isn't willing to break this family apart, so I will. I will tear this family apart if I have to.

Going to the next room, I flip onto my bed and soon knocked out.

"It's you," I heard a sound coming from the next room.

Immediately, I shot out of bed and pulled a folding knife from the bedstand. Hiroshi isn't supposed to be home until 6:00 tonight and it's only 2:00. With my phone in hand, I texted my friend at the police station to send someone over.

There were two doorways to his room. The door next to my nightstand and the door just outside my room. If I take the door next to my nightstand, opening it creaks and it could provoke her. Stepping outside, I see that the door was slightly ajar so I was able to look in without making any sudden movement. My blood turned to ice and I couldn't feel parts of my body anymore out of numbness. Chie. There, standing over my child. I wanted to break in immediately but I need to calm down and think logical. What if she had a weapon or something?

"Your Marianne's darling child aren't you? How cute? To think a woman like her could have something like you. But you're going to be an annoyance soon. A mother's drive is to create a better world for her own child. Your mother destroyed my world. What's more, fitting then killing her own child? Or I could just kill her as punishment to Hiroshi for bringing the devil into the family?" Every time she touched him I wanted to throw myself into fit of rage.

She slowly drew away though and slipped into my room. Quickly, I rushed to my child and picked him up, but before I could get out she reappeared at the door.

Was it fear or motherly instinct that made my blood run cold like this? Yet I could feel my chest burning with the same untempered rage as that of a dragon. I held my child close to me in one arm and a switchblade in my right hand. I had two escape routes. The open window which Chie used to get in and the door that I had used. I don't trust myself to jump from a two-story window so the door was the best option. Keep calm. Nothing will get done by freaking out. Keep calm.

"Marianne. How nice of you to join? I was just planning to kill the both of you." She seemed insane and I mean insane.

But I didn't listen. I was too busy trying to find a way out. Ok. She currently holds a spear point 3-inch blade. It seems to be made well but a spear point will break on impact if it hits a hard enough service. The handle seems weak though. I have a drop point hunting knife and if I can get her knife stuck to something, a good hit from me can get her blade to break. It won't be much but it'll buy me time. Besides, she's inexperienced in wielding a knife which makes her a danger to herself and everyone around her.
