"Faster, go faster!" I scream, excitement coursing through my veins. My father chuckles, slightly stepping harder on the gas. The car speeds through the highway making me fly my hands higher into the air. My dad glances at me through the rearview mirror. "So, bella-bean.. Where do you think we're going?"
I drop my hands to my sides and hug the driver's seat from behind. "I wanna go to disney world!" my pitchy voice yells into my father's ear.
My dad's smile falteres a bit, before returning back to its normal state. "Honey, that's for another time" My smile drops. "What?!" I screech. "No, we're going to d-disney!"
He sucks in a deep breath. "Bella-bean, Disney World is fully booked. We could.. I don't know, go to six flags for the day" he reassures me. I look down at the ground. He is lying. For an 11 year old, I am pretty good at observing people's expressions and I know my own father is lying to my face.
"No daddy! Tell me the truth!" I demand giving him a puzzled look. This time, he drive slower and gulps back.
"Bella-Bean... At the moment we can't really afford Disney World. Buying tickets to six flags is a better... choice for the moment" he whisperes and squeezes my hand. We'll go someday, all of us, with mommy. I promise you" he whisperes.
My eyes widen. No, I am going there, no buts. I scream loud and clear making my dad flinch. "Bella, if you continue this madness I won't be able to focus on the road!" he pleads.
I squeeze my eyes shut. "No daddy! I wanna go there! Why don't you understand?!"
He grips the steering wheel tighter, trying to keep calm. "Bella-bear, stop it" his voice warns, as if telling me if I continue with this manner, we'd both get into an accident and it would be my fault.
"I hate you!! I hate this, I hate this stupid trip! You're the worst dad ever, I wish you could just disappear from my sight and die! Out!" I scream flinging my limbs everywhere.
The car directly skids off the road before tumbling down and onto the ocean. All in the duration of a second.
The sound of water engulfing the car is loud. I panick, losing my voice. We are sinking into the ocean. "Daddy?!" I whimper.
Silence.
"Daddy?!" my voice is weaker. No one answers. My breathing becomes faster as I look around the water. Our car is a cheap convertible, meaning his body could have flung anywhere midfall, especially with no seatbelt. My heart races. I start choking. "D-d-dad!!" I try screaming for his help but it is a mix of screaming and whimpering. He isn't anywhere to be there for me. I can't help him. He has already sunk to the bottom, leaving me stuck inside the car. I quickly try removing my seatbelt but it wouldn't bulge. Not even an inch.
An suddenly I realize I'm underwater. The car is underwater. I squeez my eyes shut as I wait for death to absorb me into its open arms. It never comes. I open my eyes in surprise and let out a sigh of relief. I can breath underwater. I search all over for my dad. His lifeless body is floating about 10 meters away. Maybe if I somehow get closer to him, I could reach him in time.
Another voice comes from the front seat. "Not so strong now, eh?"
I whip my head to the owner of the voice. Mae is sitting there, staring daggers at me.
"That's right. You kill your dad first and proceed to make me disappear. Good job, bella"
I try talking but no words came out. Then I choke. I choked so hard, oxygen could no longer enter anymore. "Good job, monster" she repeats the same sentence and changes my name. Monster. That was true.
