The Secret

Part 1 (THE ONLY PART BTW)

The Secret

BANG!

I was hiding in my room from someone that broke in, they had already killed my mother. I was crying, struggling to breath for air. I slowly opened up the door to my room and crawled out into the hallway. Looking slightly to my left I saw her, my beautiful mother lying there limp. I turned away crying and continued to crawl towards the backdoor. I kept my head down to the floor. I knocked into something, I froze in pace not daring to look up.

"Oi, who are you? That woman's daughter?" He said while pulling me up by the collar of my shirt. I squirmed trying to get out of his hold. I looked up at him and went wide eyed. "D...Dad, is that you?" I asked while holding the arm that was still holding my collar. He left us 7 years ago when I was 6.

*cue flashback noises*

I ran into the lounge room and jumped into the man standing. "Daddy please don't go! Please don't leave me!" I yelled while crying into his chest. He pat my hair and put me down on my feet. He lifted my head up and wiped my tears away.

"It's ok Ava, I'm going to come back one day. When I do we're all going to go out for ice cream and dinner, ok?" He said with care in his eyes, but also something else, sadness. I didn't want him to be sad anymore more, so I nodded my head and said, "Ok daddy, I'll wait for you!" I said happily, smiling. My father smiled and hugged me. After a few minutes we let go, he said goodbye to me and my mother and left out the door to the car.

*cue un-flashback noises*

He left us 7 YEARS AGO! He only comes back now, only to kill my mother and probably me too. I start to tear up and yell, "Please don't kill me Dad!" I closed my eyes crying. He scoffed and lowered me down to my knees. "Nah, I'm not going to kill ya. I can use you." I open my eyes and stare at him. "What do you mean, 'Use me'?" I wipe my eyes, confused. "When the police come, say that you were walking home when you saw the front door wide open. You walked in and saw your mother on the floor dead. Nothing more nothing less, got it?" I nodded slowly while looking down to the floor. 'If I don't listen to him he might hurt me, or even worse. I might end up like my mother...' I thought as he pat my head.

4 Years Later

I watch as my father is being put behind bars. I've had to put up with him killing my mother for 4 years. I finally broke and ran to the police station. I told them the whole thing, what he put me through every time I mentioned the night he came back, only to kill my mother.
