As she came out of her daze she found what she had been looking for. She picked it up and gently fingered the long blade. After she was satisfied with the feel of the blade she went to the refrigerator and pulled out an apple. Placing it on the counter she pulled her hand up and let the blade come crashing down. It sliced through with such ease that Melanie was startled when she heard the clank of the knife hitting the fiberglass counter. "perfect" she muttered. Melanie quickly wiped off the blade and began to go back down the hall. When she got to the first doorway she went in. Her ten year old twin siblings Nick and Katie were inside. They were obviously frightened and Melanie quickly saw why. "Nicky your hurt" she began towards him and saw that her sister was crying. "what happened?" "nick save me" was her only reply but it was all Melanie needed to know what had happened. Her brother who was small in size but big in courage wiped the blood off of his face and said "yeah well it was worth it" "are you ok though?" "yeah its just alittle cut. I've gotten worse standing up for you two. you guys are really gonna owe me big one day"he said trying to ease all the tension in the room. "well then heres one more favor i need from you. you too katie. i need you guys to stay in Nicks room til i come back ok?" "why" "just do it PLEASE" "ok" they said in unison. Melanie closed the door to her brothers room and continued down the hall. As she got further down the hall an odd feeling came over her. It was like excitement,anticipation,and revenge all rolled into one brand new feeling. When she got to the end of the hall she opened the door and went inside. "crrrr" the door made that all to familiar sound and she shuddered as she heard it one more time she shook it off and moved deeper into the poorly lit room. "What do you need Lanie?" her step-father asked lifting his head from a magazine. "this is so easy, he has no idea what is coming to him." she thought to herself. "lanie?" he said again getting up and reaching for her arm. "NO" she said so loud that she was almost yelling. "hey lanie calm down.We wouldnt want the neighbors to hear you then they might know our secret and you've been so good at keeping it these past few years" She stepped away from him and away from the painful memories. After a few seconds she had realized that she had backed herself into a corner and he was coming at her with a vicious smile on his face." dont fight Lanie you know i hate it when i have to force you" It was in that split second after the words left his mouth that Melanie finally had the strength to do what she had prayed for since her mothers death. Reaching towards her back Melanie pulled the sharp butchers knife from the pocket of her jeans and rammed it into the man who had raised her alone for almost 5 years, the man who had been the source of so much pain and anger, the man who dared to call himself her father. After a few seconds he collapsed onto the floor and was struggling to stay conscious. "Lanie" he strained to say her name. "NO daddy.This is the end of my pain, and the end of Nick and Katie's pain. We've had enough. You've taken so many of our memorys and filled them with hate,and pain,and fear. You made us afraid of our own home. So this is the end. Im taking back as many of our moments and memories as i can. So this is goodbye daddy, and i hope you burn in hell for what you did to us." "all i did was give my children a good home in return for some love whats so wrong with that?" and with those words Melanie plunged the knife into him for third and final time. Once for each if the children he "LOVED"
