The world is a place where the strong survive by eating the weak. I was never fond of the idea from the beginning but in the end I was brought into a world where I had no choice but to become a monster.

I was born on a cold winters night, in Paris, where my father and mother were staying for the time being. Father told me my mother did not make it..and he was left alone with me. Now usually in these sob stories you would think my father would resent me however that was not the case. My father loved me dearly and now I still cherish the moments I spent with him. Although I would grow without knowing motherly love my father worked twice as hard in order to provide me with enough care for me to grow up stable. While growing I never found it odd to occasionally learn how to shoot a gun, or have a boxing match with my father. I simply thought that's what all little girls did and at that time I never had a clue as to what my father did..and he did a pretty good job at hiding it.

However it all fell apart when the storm hit...

Flashback...

My father always made it his mission to drop me off and pick me up from school, which is cool but i really wanted to take the bus with my friends sometimes.

"I'm going to pick you up after school alright," my father yelled out while I was walking away.

"Alright I'll wait by the curb as usual! Bye dad!"

I went into class and it was boring as usual. I don't really hang out with anyone at school. Mainly because I like to keep to myself and I really can't talk about cartoons and kid stuff since my father limits the outside world from me. It's just really boring to me.

During class a fight broke out near the library and everyone ran out since we could practically hear the girls screaming at each other. It was mildly entertaining granted I am only 14 at the time and middle school drama was my only source of entertainment, not only that but preppy rich girl drama at that. Once I joined the circle that was surrounding the girls I could hear the argument loud and clear.

"Wow you're really something, trying to come after Cesar like that," the girl yelled out while trying to grab onto the other girls hair.

Jesus, they're fighting over Cesar...really. I looked over to the side and can see Cesar smirking while the two girls were practically ripping each other to shreds. Of course the teachers had to do something and after a solid 10 minutes of arguing and a few punches here and there the security broke them apart and they were escorted out. I was a bit disappointed because I won't be able to see any drama anymore but at least I can get back to class. While I was walking Cesar passed by me and grabbed onto my shoulders in a sort of half hug and obviously I was extremely annoyed by it.

Meet Cesar, a very annoying, stupid, childhood friend of mine whom I've known because of my father. I hate him obviously. He hates me obviously. He likes to bother me a lot and to put it simply it's just getting annoying.

"How'd you enjoy the fight," he whispered in my ear. I pushed him off and rolled my eyes as I went into class ignoring him.

School ended faster than expected so I walked to the secluded curb where my dad picks me up and waited there. I put my head phones on and decided to listen to some music on my phone when I heard a car pull up. I look up expecting it to be my dad when all of a sudden two enormous arms grab onto me and I yell out for help but I'm immediately suffocated by a cloth and I pass out.

I start to gain consciousness and I finally wake up. I realize it's extremely dark and I have no idea where I am but I feel myself moving so I assumed we were still in the car. I relax a bit to not have them suspect me and i tried to feel around my surroundings in order to find out my situation and how I can get out of it. I realize I have a zip tie around my hands so i try to pull on it but it's around my wrist extremely tight and I feel my wrist starting to bruise.

"Can you please loosen the tie, I think my wrist are being bruised?" i asked, hoping they would loosen it.

"Why the fuck would we do that?" and just like that they were back to ignoring me.

I tried to find another way to untie it but it was impossible. I started to cry because I wanted to go home badly and I was worried my dad would never find me. All of a sudden the car stopped, and my head crashed into the drivers seat which knocked me out. When I had woken up sudden I felt extremely cold and realized the bag that was on top of my head was taken off and I was in the middle of the street and on the other side was my father.

"DAD!" I screamed overjoyed. He looked at me but I saw no hint of worry...or fear...just anger. I felt uncomfortable and realized all of the house guards were behind dad holding..guns? I was slowly wondering where the police were and why my dad came with the house security. Until he spoke...

"Give me back my daughter Oscar, this is not a negotiation. Pick your answer wisely." my father said in a cold and dark voice. It gave me chills because I have never heard him speak like that..to anyone. I looked up and say the man in question why my father called 'Oscar' and realized my situation. I'm going to die. This is it. I'm done for. I closed my eyes hoping it would be just a dream but I was soon grabbed from behind and taken back into the van. I heard the sound of a gunshot as I closed my eyes in fear. I soon opened them and realized the man who put me back here was gone. I looked up and found Angelo, one of the security guards at my house untying me.

"Angelo what's going on please explain to me. I don't understand, where's my dad?" I exclaimed practically in a frenzy. Angelo slowly carried me out of the van and I looked down and saw the man on the floor dead..a single gunshot to his back bleeding. I started to cry and i was soon stuffed into another van. Then rounds of gunshots filled the air and the only thing I could do was close my eyes and cover my ears. I started to count and by the time I got to 30 seconds I heard a loud scream and someone saying "boss" outside of the van. The gunshots had ceased and the van door soon opens and someone was placed inside...

"....daddy"
