Red Eyes

They say everything happens for a reason, I always assumed that was true. What was the reason for me? I always tried my best to be a good daughter, a good person. I kept my dresses clean, learned to cook and clean, I tried to learn how to knit, but mama always scolded me when my sweater ended up looking like a sock. She doesn't anymore. Not since that dreadful night, the same night that haunts my otherwise pleasant memories of my mama and pa.

Flashback

It was December 23, 1917. I remember because it was the night before Christmas eve - my favorite holiday was, indeed, Christmas. I had just gotten back from a party celebrating my friend, Beth's, birthday. I opened the front door, "Mama," I called. No answer. "Pa?" Still no answer. Strange. I walked through the kitchen, half expecting Mama to be bustling around, in a hurry to make supper for pa and I, except she wasn't. I went into Mama and Pa's bedroom, located down the hall. Empty. Upstairs, I walked through the archway into the family parlor (for we had two, one for guests and formal events and one for the casual use for our family)
My breath caught, I felt an unbearably painful pressure on my chest, as though someone had dropped one of those large mahogany bookcases in my pa's study onto it. Mama and Pa both lying on the floor, still, white, cold, of course, I didn't see that until after. Until after I saw...her. The window was open, letting the cool night air into the home. Standing there, was a woman, pale white as death, with wild eyes as red as the blood dripping from her mouth, her long untamed orange hair blowing in the breeze. She turned head back fully to look at me and smiled. Not a sweet smile, or sincere smile, but an evil, vicious, savage smile. Her overly white teeth glinting and mad look in her eyes frightening me in way that I didn't know was possible, and she jumped out the open window and left me there in the blood stained parlor. It was then I noticed my parents.
I screamed.
