Chapter 12: Tragic Past

 "Mom? Why are y—-"

   "Listen to me Himiko, I need you to stay in here.....you see that shoe box next to you?" I looked to my right to see a brown box, so I nodded. "If daddy opens this closet door, I need you to use what's in there."

   "But if daddy's being mean, then the heroes will come! Like All Might! So, no need to worry, just smi—-Mom?" I stopped talking when I saw tears trail down mommy's cheeks, "God I wish things were different." Mommy muttered, before wrapping me into another hug, "I'm afraid no hero will come to our rescue Himiko.....we have to rely on ourselves."

  "Wha—-why?"

    "AKARI!"  Daddy started hitting and pounding the door harder, making mommy stand back up.

    "I love you Himiko, I'm sorry I couldn't be the mother you deserved." She then closed the closet door, leaving me in the dark. Being afraid of the dark I looked around for light, when I looked down, there was a small hole, so I slowly looked through it. 'I'm like a secret spy!'

    The door opened with a loud slam, making me jump, "Hisoka, listen to me, I need you to calm—"

"SHUT UP!" Dad shouted, before slapping mommy, 'I want to get out the closet, I need to help mommy, like All Might. But why won't my legs move? Why am I shaking?'

 Mommy placed her hand on her left cheek, "You took those pills again, didn't you?" Dad didn't respond, he grabbed a handful of mommy's blonde hair and yanked it. Mommy tried to get out of his grasp, but failed. "YOU DID! Damnit Hisoka! Was being villains not enough?! We have a daughter now! You promised you'd change! WAS EVERYTHING YOU SAID JUST A LIE!?" I closed my eyes shut when I heard a gunshot echo throughout our walls.

'Mommy?'

I opened my eyes when I heard loud footsteps approaching the closet door. If daddy opens this closet door, I need you to use what's in there. Remembering what mommy told me, I opened the  box, my hands were shaking vigorously as I picked up the item.

A knife.

My attention went towards the door, everything seemed to be going in slow motion, I can hear my own heart beating against my rib cage, the door knob slowly turned and in a blink of an eye, I was on top of Dad, holding the knife that stuck inside his stomach. When reality hit me, my head began spinning, I started coughing, it felt as if I couldn't breath. So, I took my hands off the knife and cupped them over my mouth, until I felt a warm liquid around my mouth. When I took my hands away from my mouth, I looked down at them. Red covered my pale palms.  My breathing became more heavier, I felt like screaming, but nothing came out.

  I froze when I heard rough coughing, I slowly turned around to see dad staring at me, holding out his hand. I slowly crawled back over to him, I stared at his hand for a moment. The same hand that held mommy's, the one that held me when I had a scary nightmare, and the same one that held a gun to Mommy's head. I knew it was wrong, but I hesitantly placed my hand in his. His hands were cold, and rough, but right now, I needed a hand to hold.

  "What did you do to mommy?" I asked, looking at mommy's still body.

  "I freed her from this hell that everyone calls life." Daddy replied with emptiness in his voice.

     "What's hell?"

      "A place full of bad people.....where mom is.....where I'll be soon."

     "Can I come too!?" I happily clapped my hands.

      He placed my hands around the knife that still stood inside his stomach. "For you to join us, you have to kill those whom get in your way. Those that choose to follow heroes and praise them. Can you do that?"
