INTRUDER

THE DAY OF INTRUSION

The air was cold. Chilly. A cool breeze that I wanted to last. It was a nice breeze. I sat in front of my window, looking into the starry night. Black night. The night was dark, the moon shone bright in the distance. It cast a pale glow across the street. The street lamps were off, they turn off every day at 9:00 PM. I turned my head to look at my digital clock; 10:34 PM, it read. I wasn't sleepy, instead I was wide awake and very energetic. I got up from my chair next to the window and crept quietly out into the hallway. I passed my parent's room, I also passed my sister, Ellie's, room. I went downstairs and served myself a glass of water. I made as little noise as possible. I sat down on the couch, thinking about my mom. How she would tuck me in at night and kiss my head. She doesn't do that anymore after.. after I turned 16. After that she was connected more to Ellie. She was more protective of the 12 year old. I love Ellie a lot, it's like if she was my own daughter. I would do anything to protect my family.

I stood up and opened the door. I put gloves on, and I took a knife from the kitchen and slid it in my hand that had gloves on. I looked at it and rethought my idea. I was going to kill Garred once and for all. Everyone was going to be happy. All the horror that he has caused this family has been enough.

I raced up the stairs and then I ran into some one. I was so scared and shocked, thinking it was Garred, I shoved the knife into their stomach. Shing! The knife went deep into their stomach.

I remember them saying saying:

"No! Why are you doing this?"

It was my mom's voice.

no.

no.

no.

"I am so sorry mommy!" I started to cry and I fell on the floor. NO, NO, NO, NO!!!! This couldn't be true, I wanted to kill Garred once and for all. I didn't want to kill my own mom. This wasn't the plan. No! No! No! No!. Oh, god, please help me. What have I done? I will never see my mom again.

"Why?"

"I wanted you to be happy, I was going to kill Garred. I couldn't bear seeing you depressed all the time" I said.

A shadow of happiness flashed her face. She kissed me and said: "I am happy... I will be on the other side with my arms open for you."

She closed her eyes and fell onto the floor with a thump.

Now, I was going to kill Garred for me and for my mother. For all of the things and damages he has done to this family. It is unforgivable what he did. I will never forgive him!

I walked into Garred's room and laid on top of him. Then, I took the knife and slid the blade across his neck. 
"You ruined this family! I hate you! You were the worst! How could you put us through all your freaking nonsense, you bastard!" I kept plunging the knife into his chest as he spurt out blood from his mouth. The tears began to fall on his neck. I then got up and moved towards the stairs.

I had dropped the knife in the room.

I looked at the last step and then I had and idea. I was going to jump off backwards so it could look as if there was someone there. To make it look like I had not killed my parents.

I waited for a minute and then I jumped off it.

My head slammed on the last step and everything went black...

When I woke back up, I looked if Ellie was OK. I looked into her room and she was sleeping. She was alive! I lifted my hand up to her hair and brushed it with my hand, she embraced me tightly. There were tears streaming down her face. I had drugged her and I hoped that I hadn't killed her. I love Ellie so much.

"Wh-what happened? Is mom okay?"

My head started thumping and throbbing with pain. I felt dazed and light.

Finally, after a few minutes, everything came back to me. The fact that I killed my mother on accident.

I raced towards the stairs, slipping on.. No! I was slipping on blood. The blood kept pooling around my feet. It was warm, thick, and sticky. I walked over to the stairs, I could see blood dripping down each step. I looked up at the top of the stairs and I saw my mom, lying there with her eyes wide open and a stab wound in the stomach. There was blood oozing out of the wound. I screamed and yelled. I raced up the stairs, tears filling my eyes. I couldn't breathe, its like if someone had just thrown a metal ball at my chest. Every memory that I had of my mom in the past 16 years all came back in flashes. My whole life flashed by. My mom was dead, and no one could ever replace her love. No one was ever going to replace that hole that is my heart now. My whole life shattered, right there, in front of my mom's dead body.

I stood up and walked towards my parents bedroom. I crept into the room. Blood was dripping from the mini-table beside the bed. The lamp on top of that table was splattered with the dark red liquid. Then, I found him. My dad was dead, he was laying there on the bed with his throat slit. Blood was still streaming out. I dropped to my knees and grabbed a torn pillow. I screamed very hard into the pillow, letting all my anger and sadness out. I screamed into it. I punched, I ripped it apart. I took the curtains and yanked them down and screamed my lungs out because I could never believe that I had killed my own mother.. After I let out my anger, Ellie and I walked towards mom's car. I had tried calling 9-1-1, but I had cut the telephone cord and the light were out. I helped Ellie into the back seat, helping her put her seatbelt on. I went into the driver's seat and turned the car on.

I couldn't tell a soul that I killed my parents. I had to lie from here on out to avoid my life being damaged. 

I drove down the road, trying to find the nearest house. I found a house and parked in the driveway. We got out of the car and yelled for help.

"HELP!" We yelled while hitting at out neighbor's door.

After a while, Mrs. Robinson, opened the door and rushed out.

"My dear, what happened!?" She anxiously ran towards us.

"Someone... Killed.. Our... Parents," I finally managed to say.

"Let me call 9-1-1! Harry! Come help!"

Harry came rushing out.

He wrapped us up with blankets and guided us inside. He gave us warm coffee and told us everything was going to be okay, but was it really?

A few minutes later, police officers took us and brought us in for questioning.

My life was turned upside down. More than it was already. I can't believe I had killed my parents. I am sick. I do not regret killing Garred, but I will never forgive myself for killing Maggie. Never. I will always live with the pain. I will always live with the pain until I die.
