It was January when it happened. I was only 12 years old, when everything got worse, way worse.

"Alright go hide!" I yelled as I closed my eyes facing a tree.

Giggles were heard along with the rustling of fall leaves.

"One!" I shouted "Two!"

A brisk breeze whipped through the air as I got chills.

"Three... four... five... six... seven... eight... nine..." dragging out the word nine to give Angel, and Molly some extra time.

"Ten!" I shouted opening my eyes and looking around.

Nothing stirred. I smiled as I walked around the wooded area. Suddenly I heard a sound. I slowly made my way to the sound coming from a cluster of naked trees.

I waited on one side of the cluster then jumped out to the other side where I heard the sounds.

"Gotcha!" I yelled, laughing.

My laughter cut short when a piercing pain shot through my abdomen, then again and again. I fell down to the forest floor gasping for air. I looked up to see a bigger man with grey hair smiling down at me, he was singing softly something.

Recognition hit me "da-dad?" I asked but speaking brought too much pain to my body.

Looking down at my clothes a dark red was washing through my clothes and down my body. My dad raised something that looked like a knife. And the immense pain shot through my body once more. I gasped out in pain and cried.

His face was bloodied and he was singing. "Somewhere over the rainbow-" he stuck me again. I yelled out in pain and tried screaming for help.

"Molly-" he struck again. My vision blurred but I tried to keep myself awake.

Suddenly my father grasped me in his arms like a child again. The pain was excruciating as I sobbed and hung limp in his grasp. He started walking down slope to the frozen lake.

"Angel" I shouted weakly.

He finally stopped walking as we reached the lake.

"Goodnight my sweet lily." My father said as he shushed my sobs with his finger. He then  tossed me onto the ice I cried out in pain unable to move.

'My own father killed me, im gonna die.' I thought sadly.

The ice cracked and I saw his bloodied figure standing on the forest floor. Still singing that melody. Suddenly he ran away into the woods.

Two figures came running down the slope towards me. They were screaming and crying. The ice cracked again and I felt freezing cold water wash around me. The sound of an ambulance sounded through the barren woods. My mind faded in and out as the pain was numbed by the ice cold water. There was a final crack and I fell under. My mind slipped and slowly I was in a state of icy calm. I let myself be washed away.

'Goodnight my sweet lily.'
