I was sitting on the floor in my living room watching the TV with my dad and sisters. When mom appeared on the TV wearing a black bodysuit. She held a javelin, she was standing in the middle of the arena. Looking directly at our sister, who had a sword. Athena my mother ran towards her with the javelin aiming to kill her. She ducked and ran across the arena falling on the sand. Athena approached her with the javelin poised in her right hand. My sister cried on the sand, she kept saying the same thing over and over. "Mommy please don't hurt me, please, I love you, we don't have to fight, please!" She pleaded, my mother just walked over and brought the javelin down straight through her chest. Stopping her heart. "Oh there she goes straight for the kill" laughed Liem. Mom just started laughing clearly enjoying the attention. That was her last kill, she just won the games. I woke up screaming and crying realizing it was a dream. I just rocked back and forth on the floor. All I could see in my head was my sister's face pleading with our mom for mercy.
