Born To Kill

Chapter 5

Marionette's POV

I swear, when I heard father say that... I just felt that my eyes popped out. So I just laughed, nervously.

“Why are you laughing?" Father asked.

“Your kidding, right? I'm dreaming rightnow... Did you even hear your-" I said until I was cut-off.

“No, Darling...", Father said again, “what I said, its what you heard..."

He stood up from his chair and walked towards me. He tried to place one hand over my shoulder, but I stepped back with fear. He sighed and looked down on me, smiling.

“Follow me, Mario..." He said.

He walked away, up the stairs. I stood there and tried to take in what I heard.

Vampire.

I shook my head and took in a breath. I hesitated to headed up the stairs, but I walked anyway towards my Father's office, knowing he'll be there. I opened the door and saw Father looking out the window that was behind his desk.

“A long time ago, my mother would always tell me stories about my grandfather. ‘Don't ever let him get close to you, Don't let your doors open for him to get inside. He is dangerous...' She would say. At first, I didn't understand her. But when I turned around your age, my Father left us when I was a kid, that's what I believed. I was the man of the house, took care of my mother... And my sister...” he said.

“Sister? I have a aunt?" I said confused from this.

"Yes... Like I was saying, my mother one day told us she had to go somewhere. She had to leave me with my sister, so I was ok with that. While my sister and I were playing in our room upstairs, there was a knock on the door. I thought it was my mother so I opened the door. A man stood in the door, guess who it was?"

“Who?" I said confused.

He turned around to me and looked at me. His eyes were red. I gasped and wided my eyes. Goosebumps grew all around my body looking at my Father. I've never seen him like this before.

"My Grandfather.." he slowly said. Father walked towards me and I stepped back.

"He did this to me!" He yelled.

I looked at him in fear when I suddenly saw fangs growing out of his teeth.

"He did this to my sister!" He yelled angrily.

I felt the door behind me, tears started to whell up. My Father is going to kill me... kill me... I thought. He got closer, but then stopped when he saw my tears. He backed up and his normal self came back. He lifted up a hand and placed it in my cheek. I flinched a little and looked up at him.

"I would never hurt you, my child. You are my biggest possesion..." He said faintly.

He hugged me and that's when my feelings relieved. This felt... weird. My Father would never do this, but I should go with it? I don't know what I am doing, but this is my Father here. I need him...

I wrapped my arms around him and placed my head on his chest. Feeling no beating from his heart, and surely knowing mine will be like this.

"Remember one thing from all of this.." He whispered.

"What is it?" I said looking up at him.

"You were born to kill, Marionette." He said.
