I never thought I'd still be alive after what happened. I can't feel my body anymore, I can't even open my eyes completely.
"Is he dead?" That voice, that fucking voice. "Better finish him off if I were you."
"Relax Bill. I'll kill him, okay? Don't be hasty." He said while laughing.
Bill is my step-brother and he's with my step-dad. Eversince my mom died, I have lived a miserable life. I became their slave and even though I tried fighting back, it didn't changed anything instead it made things worst. I know they wont hesitate to kill me because that's the only way they'll have everything my mom left for me. Yeah that's right, my mom left me everything and gave them nothing.
"Crawl you son of a bitch hahahahaha!" I can't let them do what they want. I still want to live, I have a lot of things I wanna do.
"Agh!" He flipped me up and the last thing I remember was a strong punch on my face.

Am I dead? Maybe I am, I dont remember anything except for the hard time I had with them. Maybe this is my fate, way better than dying everyday.
"Agh."
Wait, I can still feel pain in every part of my body. What happened? I thought I'm dead. I tried opening my eyes slowly and look around. There's blood everywhere. Are those mine? Where are they? Maybe they thought I was dead. I slowly stood myself up and while I was trying to get up I felt something bump on the back of my head.
What I saw shocked the hell out of me. It-- it was them. They were hanged in the ceiling with numerous cuts in their body. Even their necks were slitted. I moved away from the bodies because I can't believe they're dead and I'm not. What happened here? What happened when I was knocked out? Who did this?
"Luke." A distorted voice.
"Who are you?! What do you want?! Please don't kill me!" I screamed. I don't know what to do, I can't even move here. It's like I'm nailed right where I'm sitting. I looked around but I saw no one. "Who are you?!"
"Who am I is not important. What's important is that I save your life and you're alive." So, it was him. "Yes, it is me. I killed them for you."
"But why? Who the hell are you?! Answer me!"
"Time will tell. And when that time comes, you have to repay me."

"Better finish everything before you leave the store, understood?" I nodded as an answer and after he gave me all the instructions, he left.
I'm Ice, I work as a store attendant nearby. I live alone, I don't have anyone living with me. I was raised by a priest, I should be thankful right? But no. He's the main reason why I ran off. He's sick and disgusting. I can't stand the sight of him.
I maybe young but I know that what he's doing isn't right. The moment I saw an opportunity to escape, I took it. It's been years since I ran away but those moments are still fresh as if they just happened yesterday.
"Ice? Father is looking for you, he asked for you. Go to his room now, okay?" Sister Nila said when she saw me sitting on the swing.
"Okay sister." I immediately stood up and walked towards father's room. The door was open so I just went in without knocking. I saw him there sitting on the edge of his bed. "Uhm, father?" I uttered.
