"Thank you…My little phantom thief…"

Chapter 2

Hatred

All I heard were the screams of my mother. I hated it. I wanted it to stop. I didn't want to hear my mother scream. The only person who cared for me…The person I cared about…

"Stop it!!!"

The swelling came, but I ignored it. I continued yelling, but he wouldn't stop hurting her. My mind filled with screams. Suddenly, the room was quieted down when I screamed aloud at the top of my lungs.

"I SAID STOP!!!"

I felt everyone's eyes on me, but I didn't care. My throat hurt so much, but I didn't care about that either. Tears were flooding my eyes, and buried my face in my knees. I just wanted everything to stop.

Step.

My eyes widened, hearing loud footsteps advancing. My mother's screams, my nurse's pleading, my father's footsteps. I heard everything, and my head was ringing. My eyes tightly shut themselves as the footsteps grew louder. I felt his shadow fall on my feeble body, and I was scared. A cold, lifeless hand touched my head, and I gasped. Sweat fell down my face, and my eyes became filled with fear. A sharp pain split through my head, and my screams filled the room.

"Let her go, you bastard!"

"Madam!!"

As my head was lifted up from the protection of my knees, my mother grabbed my father's arms and tried to pull them off me. I knew she was failing, because the pain grew. My screams became louder as my father twisted at the roots of my hair. I couldn't take it anymore, the pain was getting in my head. My eyelids were heavy, and I slowly felt them dropping over my eyes. The last thing I heard…

"She's in my custody."

"Urm…."

A blurred view came through. I blinked a few times, as my vision became clearer. My eyes scanned my surroundings, and I realized I has been transported to a different room. And I was sure it wasn't in my home.

"Ah…you're awake…"

"Huh?"

I looked around, and saw a large shadow near the entrance of the room. My body was still weak, but I put all the strength left in me into my arms and lifted myself up. Blinking my eyes a few more times, I got a good view of what was standing by the door. My eyes widened, despite the fact of wanting to close them and fall back to sleep. Oh, how I wanted to sleep right now…

"Missed me? Your face doesn't express emotions very well, you know." A laugh escaped from the figure's mouth, and a shiver went up my spine. That laugh reminded me of my childhood, something I wanted to throw away.

"What do you want, Father? Where's Mother? What did you do to her?!" My voice rose, surprising my father a bit. But all he did was smile. Not that warm and passionate smile my mother had, but a devious one. One that held no passion whatsoever. How I hated that smile of his…

"Stop smiling…Where's Mother?! Answer me!"

"Calm down, my little Menou." I winced when he said my name. "That little bitch that you call a mother is fine. I wouldn't want to waste my time on a worthless human like her. No use in depleting my energy, right?" He laughed again, and all I wanted to do was shut him up. But I couldn't…I was helpless in the condition I was in now.

"Oh, my little Menou…are you not glad that you're father has come to your rescue? I'm here to take you away from that ridiculous place you call a home…You'll just become spoiled. A sweet child like you doesn't deserve something like that." He suddenly began to walk forward. I let out a quiet gasp, and inched back on my bed. The whole time, he was smiling that evil smile. I hated it, but I was scared. My back hit the backboard of my bed, and my eyes widened as my father stood above me. He continued to smile, and eventually a grin broke onto his face. Then, in a split second, his face was inches away from mine, and he was on my bed. He was so close that I could feel his cold breath. I tightly shut my eyes, thinking of what to do.

"My little Menou…how tangible your life is…I can just take it and squeeze it in my hands. Hmm…"

My eyes were still closed, but I knew he was advancing closer to me. I felt his breath move from my cheek to my neck, and I gasped of what happened next.

"You're the sweetest human I've tasted in ages, do you know that…?"

"Stop…it…demon…"

I felt his lips leave my neck, and I was relieved, thinking it was all over. But it was all only beginning. A sharp pain ran through my shoulders as my father pushed them against the backboard of the bed.

"I thought I told you not to call me that, Menou."

I kept myself from screaming out in pain, but I couldn't hold it in for much longer. He added pressure by pressing even harder on my weak shoulders, and I yelped in pain.

"That's right, my little Menou…scream out in pain. Your voice is a beautiful melody to me…"

God, make it stop! The pain was ripping me from the inside. He had begun to nuzzle my neck again, which added to my suffering. I wanted to continue screaming, but I restrained myself. I know that would only gladden the demon. I slowly opened my eyes and brought up my hand under my pillow. Minutes seemed like seconds as my hand gripped something connected to my father's chest. My eyes were shut again, not knowing if I succeeded in my task. I felt a large amount of weight fall on top of me, and without opening my eyes, I knew he was dead. He was dead…and I had killed him…

"He's dead…finally…" A smile crossed my face.
