Just a matter of time

You've gone too far

It was a day like everyday, Gi and her brother were fighting again.
Like siblings do. But from time to time, their fights became louder and more insulting. Mostly because of her brother, Nate. He has always been aggressive and loud. It was normal for their parents seeing or hearing them fighting and shouting at each other.
But in the past years Nate started to insult her as a "dumbass" or "piece of unworthy shit", sometimes he'd even call her "unwanted" or just start shouting "shut the fuck up!" Or "stop breathing". He even hit her several times, resulting for Gi having a blue eye and several bruises. Gi tried to tell their parents how much it breaks her heart that he does things like that, they were so close as kids despite the fights. But all her parents would tell her is "He always has been like this. Aren't you used to it already?". She stopped fighting with him about it. Stopped trying to defend herself. But every mean thing Nate said about her got through to her. She started to believe it. Became depressed. Anxious. Worried. Insecure. She couldn't help it.

But this fight was different.....
They were alone at home. Gi went up to her 15 year old brothers room. "You forgot your plate on the kitchen counter. You need to put it in the dishwasher".
"I didn't forget it, stupid. You are a woman go do it yourself! You belong in the kitchen anyway".
That was the first time Nate said something sexist.... She couldn't believe it and became angry. " You must be kidding I hope so! In which century were you born? The first?! Now move your lazy ass and put that damn plate in the fucking dishwasher!" She looked at him. Gi just realized what she did. Told her 2 years younger brother what to do for the first time. But what he said wasn't ok.
Nate wasn't amused by this. He got up and pushed Gi down to the floor. "Who do you think you are? You think you can order me to do shit? Just because you are older than me?", he shouted down at her. Gi was still sitting on the floor, she couldn't believe it. She tried to get up but Nate wouldn't let her. "Answer me!", Nate shouted again. Gi took a deep breath "Stay calm. I just said you should clean your mess up." Now Nate hit her in the face with his hand. Now Gi was angry. She got up and looked him straight in the eye. Without hesitating she slapped him. "This was for pushing me to on the floor". She took the nearest object, which was a vase, and smacked it broken on his head. "This was for beating me the last years". Nates head was bleeding. But this didn't bother Gi. Nothing could. All of her morals and senses were gone. Nate went too far. The past years of her life were worse than hell. Even though their parents saw them "fighting", Nate really was abusing her all the time. And now she had enough. Cold and emotionless eyes looked down at Nate. You could smell his fear.
"Gi, I'm sorry! I...I really am. I didn't knew...." Nate stammered. "Too late", Gi said. She placed her foot on his chest, took his arm and turned it around. Nate let out a bloodcurdling groan. Not a single emotion was visible in Gis face as she broke her brothers arm. Nate was laying on the floor whining of pain. Gi entered his room and when she came back, she had his playstation in her hands. Her hand hold it very tight. So tight her fingers lost their colour. Nates face lost all of its colour too. An expression of horror was visible too. He knew what came next. His sister slammed it on his leg. The playstation broke, just like Nates leg. He was lying there, defenseless. Gi left him upstairs. Nate relaxed. He thought this twisted thing became his sister again and called the ambulance for help. After some time Gi came upstairs again. At first Nate was happy to see her. He thought "maybe she is normal again". Wrong. His expression dropped as fast as the speed of light, when he saw the knife, hammer and their fathers jar of nails. Nate screamed for help, but who could possibly hear him? Their parents weren't home and their neighbors went on a vacation. Gi smiled,"I will let you suffer as much as you made me. It's going to be fun! At least for me". A demonic like grin was decorating her cold face. Her eyes still dead.
"We both know you wouldn't do this. You aren't a psychopath.", Nate said calmly but with visible fear.
"You made me.", Gi said dead.
She took the knife and started to crave every insult he called her in his skin. Nates screams of pain strangly calmed Gi. She enjoyed seeing him suffer. "You are responsible for your actions.", She said.
When she was done and every insult was placed on Nates body, she took the hammer. "You know what follows. I'm not going to lie, I will enjoy this the most." Gi hammered nail for nail. Some were placed on his forehead, arms, legs and even his chest. Nate went unconscious at some point, but Gi finished her work. She looked down at her unconscious masterpiece. Still breathing. That breathing didn't fit her masterpiece, so she took the knife to make it more perfect. To end the breathing. The knife cut through his throat, slowly. Blood flows out. She watched that bloody waterfall. Looked so beautiful and majestic. The blood stopped flowing. Her brother stopped breathing. Now it was perfect.
His blood was all over the creme colored carpet. All over her clothing. On her hands and arms, under her finger nails and on her face.

Gi sat there until her parents came back. Silent.
She sat there until the police arrived. Silent.
