Your POV

After months of back-breaking work, you had finally found your parents. As you looked into a heavily-barred window, you were shocked to find a little baby girl crawling around on the carpet on the hardwood floor, surrounded by toys. You growled as you stomped across the huge front lawn, stomping up to the porch of the mansion. A sadistic smile formed on your face that morphed to a hopeful expression as you rang the bell. Fake tears started to pour down your face as your father opened the door and started to speak:' We're not interested in tic- honey!' 'Yes?' Tears of relief started to pour down his face, but through all the propaganda you could see that he was annoyed. 'Our daughter's came back!' 'What! Tell her to go away! We already have a baby!' You pouted. 'Mommy? Mommy! Aren't you pleased to see me? I. Came. Back!' 

Your mother snorted. 'We can see that. Now clear off!' 'But, mommy...' you pouted. 'You said you would wait for me until I came back! But you moved here... OH!' That last exclamation was caused as your father struck you across the face. 'Well... FUCK YOU TOO, DADDY!' you screamed, before smashing his face in with the sledgehammer. Your mom screamed and ran. Pussy. Turns out that the hammer was enchanted. It had 2 forms: a little hammer necklace and the sledgehammer. Once you plucked the insignia away from the necklace, it became the second form. 'Mommy!' your plaintive cry echoed throughout the house as you stepped over the corpse on the porch. 'Mommy, Daddy hurt me again! WHY WON'T YOU COME HELP, MOMMY?' You stalked through the hallways and corridors to find your little back stabbing mommy...

Mom's POV

...

I ran. From my own daughter. Wow, I was on a roll. Cheating on my husband, having a second child with said adulterer, feeding my baby (accidentally)with drug-infused milk, fighting with my husband about it- whew! And now this. I had no idea our daughter could be so... merciless. It suddenly occured to me that what happened to my husband was going to happen to me. I trembled on the spot, and in a mad rush, grabbed the baby. I quickly wrote a note and tied it onto the baby. Then I left her sitting in the hallway. I left through the window in the next room, just in time to hear the thump, thump, thump of the hammer against the corridor. It grated against the birch wood floor, sending wood shavings left right center. 

Suddenly...  IT STOPPED. The noise STOPPED. Right outside the nursery door, quite thankfully. I edged forward on the branch I was perched on to see the baby being scooped up by the... the monster. She cooed to the girl that I once adored, combed her hair, raised her, fed her. I held back a sob as I dropped to the ground, running. Running away from the family she had ruined, the sole protector lying motionless on the boards of the porch, a pool of blood blossoming. I ran and ran and ran until I collapsed in a heap on the doorstep of a unknown house. I got up wearily after a few minutes and stumbled onwards to the police station. 

'Hello? I would like to make a report...'


Your POV

...

I cooed to the baby in my hands after I heard a thump from outside. 'Let her run... hmm. What should I call you? Mellissa? Oh... you like that?' I suddenly saw a note tied onto Mellissa. 


" Dear (y/n),

Take this baby as penance, and spare my life. Please!"

I scoffed. Poor baby... you thought. Must be hungry. It suddenly occured to me that I didn't know how to take care of a baby. 


                  'Back to the mansion, then. Come on, Mellissa. There's no time to waste.'

With that, you bundled Mellissa up into your arms and ran off, desperate to get her cries out of your ears.
