"Mom, I'm home" shouted a cheerful brunet just coming back from his karate lessons as he entered the house.

Silence.

"Mom, are you here?" he asked again.

A strange metallic odour filled the air.

He could hear the sound of his heart beat fast as he went to his mother's room.

He put his hand on the door handle and slowly opened it.

Red.

Red everywhere.

And on the floor, a bloody, almost unrecognizable body of what was his mother before. He slowly walked towards her not noticing the figure behind him.

"You killed her"

His body stiffened. He recognised that voice.

That was the voice of the man he heard for six years of his life. He forced his body to move, he turned around to face him.

On his face were little drops of blood that gradually dripped onto the floor, staining the psychopathic smile on the man's face.

"It's your fault," he said again

"You killed her."

"And now I'm going to kill you"

He lifted up the knife he held in his hand and stabbed the boy's right eye.

He didn't stop there as he dropped the knife, pulled him closer and started beating him.

He punched him, kicked him, strangled him until his finger marks were all over his neck.

The boy screamed for help, tried to get away from the psychopath, even try to defend himself.

But it all seemed futile as every time he tried to move away the man would hit him more brutally.

At one point he gave up submitting to the pain, hoping somebody heard his cries of help.

He felt his consciousness slipping away. But he couldn't let that happen. Cause he knew as soon as he fainted the man was going to take his life.

Ding Dong

The bell rang.

The man flew up, ran down the stairs and opened the door.

In front of him stood a tall man, probably in his thirties, he had long black hair tied in a ponytail, red eyes and he was very pale.

"Ehm... Excuse me sir, who are you? And what are you doing in my neighbour's house?" He asked in a deep voice.

"This is my wife's house. Can't I come to visit my family?" he replied blocking the entrance.

"That doesn't explain the reason I heard Temna scream. Let me in!" The black-haired man demanded, raising his voice.

He pushed the man away from the door and ran to the second floor, opening all the doors he could find when he opened the last door, his eyes widened in horror.

He immediately called the police and an ambulance.

But the culprit escaped as he heard the police cars' sirens.
