Flashback part 2

Despite my injury from my father, I slept surprisingly well.

"(f/n)" a voice called out to me.

'shut up, let me sleep'

"(f/n)!!" the voice screamed.

I jolted awake. "what the, where am i". Everything is white. 'Oh, I'm dead'

I looked up to see a woman with golden eyes and flowing red hair. She's wearing a plain black yukata. She looks angry.

"Finally you're awake, you may be a light sleeper physically but mentally you're like dead." She huffed.

"mother?" I'll let that comment slide just this once since I haven't seen you in a while.

"No, I'm you from the future." She said sarcastically.

"What?!? But you're so ugly." I joked back. "I'm gonna be ugly forever." Fake crying.

She rolled her eyes and facepalmed.

"But h-how" I gaped at her. "Great I'm questioning my existence now. You're suppose to be dead"

"that's what you think" she smirked. "I have surpassed all means of logic"

I rolled my eyes. "your ego is as big as ever."

"Where do you think you got yours from." she counters.

I smiled knowing some things never change. "so answers, now."

"very well. but first tea and chess." She waved her hands and a low table with 2 cushions facing each other appeared out of nowhere. On the table was a chess set with all the pieces lined up. along with a tea set on the side.

"the scenery needs to change" waving her hands again the space around me bloomed with color. Scenery is nice. trees everywhere littering its petals onto the green grass. the sound of a waterfall in the background. Peaceful.

"nice choice" I sat down kneeling position. "it would've been better if we were playing shogi."

She shrugs "I like chess though. Now ask away"

"what is this place" I moved my pawn.

"your conscious"

"Okay?? but why would you be here."

"during the operation of saving your life, I may or may not have put something in your brain so that if I passed away I would be here, living creepily in your head."

"no comment, not even gonna question it" I shook my head. "what do you do in my head anyway."

"stalk you and everything you do. oh, and I know all your thoughts."

'How unsettling.'

I kept quiet moving my knight. "what happened to dad. I mean I know he hates me but still."

"he hates you because I didn't give him a son as the oldest instead I have you." She gestures to me.

"wow thanks, I can really feel the love''

"what I'm saying is that he wants a male heritage to take over all his wealth and stuff. Instead, he has you."

"so did you marry him because of his money" I finally asked the question I always wanted to know. I mean why else would she marry him.

"you're not wrong, he has enough money to provide me for all my research. But no, I married him because he was head over heels for me." she looked up daydreamingly.

"I remember the first time he looked at me like I was the purest and most beautiful girl. I mean look at me who wouldn't fall for me. he was so kind to me and I know his reputation." she smiled.

"he was cruel to all his employees and everyone under him. He treats women the same way. except me. I guess it was because I really never gave a shit about him and he sees that as a challenge. And with my deep rich knowledge on phycology, I can tell he was deeply infatuated with me. I just gave him the benefit of the doubt. he's not a bad per~ hey are you even listening."

I woke up with a start "huh what, oh are you done, I really don't care about your love life."

"you little brat. My point is that I was the greatest thing in his life, but you took that away from him. So that's why he's like this. So what is your opinion."

"I want him dead" my eyes burn with desire.

"sure, one clean strike with the present I gave to your brother to give to you should do the trick." She suggests.

"seriously you're allowing me to so this" Unbelievable.

"like I said I never really cared about him. life on earth is rather short, when you are a scientist like me, being heartless and cold is like second nature. anything for knowledge. I killed my first pet because I was curious about its bone structure you know."

"so you want me to kill him." I stared at the waterfall.

"that's your choice I can't force you to do anything."

"some parenting" I scoffed.

"whatever makes you happy and checkmate" I groaned in defeat.

"again?" She asks for another round.
"why not" I set the board up again.

"did you figure out any of the changes I made to you."

"Yeah, you turned my bones are as hard as steel. so jumping off high places isn't really a problem. my reflexes are 100 times sharper... tweaked my brain so I have photographic and audio memory... I heal pretty quickly... oh and stamina." I counted.

"is that all, wow your puny human mind can only figure out that much." she clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction. "I'm disappointed."

"fine you tell me" I give up.

"you have an IQ of 180 before I even touch your brain, now you have an even higher IQ. the rest is for me to know and you to find out."

"whatever and checkmate," I smirked.

"I caught your patheticness." she curled her lips in disdain.

"and where do you think I got my patheticness from." my smirk grew as she rolled her eyes.

"you should be waking up now its 6:00 pm in reality."

"what!!! I slept for an entire day I gotta wake up."

"alright remember what we talked about" she snaps her finger and everything turned white again.

*****************

I woke up when the sun hits my face. My heart to heart talk with my mother is over.

Thirsty, I stepped out of my room and walked to the kitchen. When I saw the most horrifying thing, dad had hit my brother.

I didn't care when my father hits me but my younger brother is out of the question. That was the last straw.

*******

Not much I can remember from that night.
Ok, that was a lie, I remembered everything.

Silently running back upstairs and into my room. I scrambled around until I found what I needed. My mother's gift.
I have taken into consideration what my mom had told me and made my decision.

Blood everywhere. Not my blood. Not Karma's blood. But my father's filthy, disgusting blood.

Since that day I've never unsheathed that blade. That is until now.
