The lone whistle

Ariana's POV
<><><><><><><><><><><>
It took the usual amount of time to get back to my old house. I guess now that everything's happened I'm starting to consider Alexander's mansion more my home and everyone inside it more my family everyday even though no one can EVER replace my family.

We arrive in my old driveway and I walk up to the front door and walk in like no time has passed.

I see mom currently making food. I engulf her into a giant hug.

"Hey mom" I say as I steel as piece of food while lightly laughing .

"Will you ever stop that." She says scolding me with a smile.

"Nope." I reply.

"Hey sweetie long time no see what brings you by." She asks.

"That stubborn ass husband of yours." I tell her.

"Is this one of your quests." She asks laughing.

"Yes." I say simply

"Oh my god." I hear Alexander quietly laugh.

I give him a pointed look and he shuts up real quick.

"Where's dad" I ask mom wanting time finish my quest because it's straining to get rather boring even though it's for the sake of my brother.

"Office." She says and we head to his office. I leave everyone outside the office door and barge in.

I see Evan on of my friends when I was here. He smiled and waves.

"Nice to se you too but OUT" I tell him. He looks terrified and looks at my dad

He just nods and Evan leaves.

"The actual hell dad" I start off

"Ariana...what do you want me..."he starts but I cut him off.

"You not giving Emmet the position he rightfully deserves. And all because of what you want power. What has happened to you. You're not the man I once new. You lost me because you traded me and what the power when to your head." I roar.

Something must have snapped in my dad because he threw one of his daggers that he kept in his desk.

I easily dodged it but he threw the remaining five.

I dodged most of them except one. It lightly slashed my cheek but all in all not that bad.

"What the actual fuck." I yell. He just tried to kill me.

Eventually he lunges for me from across his desk. But for the first time I see his eyes. Bloodshot and hazy. He's been using. What he's been using I have no idea.

I roll us over and break the door in the process but his body took most of the impact.

He eventually rolled us so he was on top of the fight and punched me in the jaw. I winced but I wasn't done yet.

Before I could do anything his hands slithered around my neck and in one fast motion he clamped down on my neck. Constricting every time I try to gasp for air. It was starting to effect me and I started to see black, white, and grey dots dancing in my vision.

Quickly I noticed a secret weapons storage in the wall we kept if we ever needed them. I quickly opened it and grabbed the first thing that touched my fingertips desperate for this to be over. A gun.

I took the weapon and just shot. A bullet to the head. It was a quick painless death because of where I shot him. In an instant his hands released my neck and I gasped and choked for air. The fight happened so fast no one could react.
I still sit in the ground gasping for air while his blood pours on me.

I didn't know who that man was. He was not my father but the man the drugs had created. A power hungry man that would kill one of his own kids. His own blood. What ever he was using would have slowly and painfully killed him but I thankfully gave him a quick painless death.

I started to well up with tears. My dad was now dead and all because of me. And all because of the drugs.

Everyone came running. Alex pulled me out from under my dads corpse and hugged me.

"What happened." My mom screamed.

"I killed dad" I whisper reality making it harder to deal with this.

"You...you what" mom asks.

"He...he tried to kill me. He threw his daggers and lunged at me. The impact broke that door and he strangled me to the point I almost died. I...I'm sorry mom I know you loved him. We all did and do but he was a monster when he was using. Just look at his eyes." I sobbed.

Alex just rubbed my back while I relaxed into him. Ever since I've met him my life has been so much more emotional and so much more like a soap opera then it ever had. I guess it spices things up a bit though.

"Honey I will miss your father and I did love him but I'm glad he's gone in a way too"

Hearing those words come from my moms mouth made me freeze. She was glad he was dead!
