I was reluctant but eventually I had to wake up.
I sat on the bed with my eyes still closed and slowly opened my eyes.
"Janet ? "
She giggled and started running away.
" Janet where are you going , wait "- I yelled running after her.
She just kept giggling.
" Hurry ,come on Scarlet , catch me if you can ! "
I tried to run after her but she was too fast.
She went upstairs and I followed suit but she managed to sneak her way back downstairs.
I saw her enter our room and I mindlessly followed her in .
I heard her giggling as I got close to the door.
She was sitting on the bed.
" Come on , sit down , " - she said with that cute smile she always had.
I sat down and motioned her to lay on my lap.
" I will miss you " - she said after a long silence.
" I will miss you too . " - I said almost in a whisper.
She wiped away the tears I hadn't noticed with a smile .
I smiled at her and kissed both her cheeks .
" I wanted to see you one last time Scarlet and I am glad I was able to "
She straightened up and kissed my cheek as well.
" I have to go now , she is waiting for me and don't worry we will always be with you".
She got up from the bed and sat down on the floor .
" I will always love you Scarlet "- I heard her say .
I closed my eyes to keep the tears in but only for me to open them and see the same image I saw on the day I found her surrounded by her own pool of blood.
" NO ! "
I quickly jolted up from the bed I was lying on.
I sighed and realised it was all a dream except what she had said to me.
I wiped the tears that had wet my cheeks and checked the time. 3 :15am.
I calmed down and found my way into the trap door.
I entered and found him awake , I guess the pain didn't permit him . I got closer and slowly removed the knife .
He still didn't shout from the pain but no worries , I will never get satisfied until I hear him scream from pain.
" You deserve everything that is happening to you , Janet didn't get the motherly love she needed all because of you.
You made her leave , You heartless man . How could you not feel compassion for your children ; your seven year old daughter ! "
He only smirked after pouring my heart out to him which made me boil with even more anger .
I went out and brought back with me a pair of scissors.
I cut off all his hair.
I was glad , his now black hair was gone.
HA !.
I went for a mirror and showed him his now disgusting face. It's not enough .
I tied the mirror In front of him so he could see what he looks like for the rest of his miserable life.
He is strong , I must give it to him but he will surely crack if that is the last thing I do while I am still alive. I am guessing now that it was 6 : something , I have been here for a while .
I went back to my room and freshened up , I wore a long black skirt and a red crop top then braided a few parts of my hair smiled at my appearance.
I left the room and prepared some pancakes and poured myself some juice.
I finished and washed the plates then went to the living room and entertained myself with a little something called Television.
I watched so many cartoons , I got sleepy and left there to catch up on my sleep and yes the television was still on .
I am not afraid of that man anymore and I am surely not going to let anyone EVER treat me like dirt AGAIN.
I finally reached my bed and drifted off to sleep Immediately softness surrounded me .
I woke up when there was bright light shining on my face , I checked the time again and it was 11:47am.
Wow , I was really tired.
I went back to the kitchen and made myself some rice with chicken and made sure I was very well satisfied.
I finished and continued on the programs I had left earlier.
I eventually got bored and went back to the trap door , I realised something , my dad hasn't eaten for a while and I am sure he was definitely hungry .
What kind of a human am I ?
I went back and served the food on a tray and headed to the trapdoor.
I slowly climbed down and placed the food on the side .
" Are you hungry ?" - I asked.
He nodded and I sighed in anger at myself .
I sat close to him and fed him full spoons of the food .
I helped him drink juice once in a while until he was done with everything I brought down here
I placed the empty tray down and looked him in the eye.
" Sorry I guess"- i finally said.
He raised an eyebrow and looked at me with a shocked expression on his face , he was shocked ? .
Well for one , I know I want to cause him pain but starving someone is not humane . Yes , I know he starved both my sister and i most of the times but I will never stoop to his level , starving someone will never be a solution , trust me on it.
" I am not heartless like you " - I simply replied.
I took my tray and left the room, that will be enough for the day.
