' Where I am? '
' Why is it so dark? '
I step forward, and I suddenly felt my foot being wet. I look downward and saw water.
"How dare you!"
I heard someone shouted from behind, I turned around but didn't see anyone.
"How dare you kill me!" someone shouted, but I didn't see anyone besides me.
I close my eyes and tears suddenly fell from my eyes. As I opened my eyes, a bloody hands came to my view.
' M-my hand... Why is... My hands covered in blood? '
"How dare you!" I turned around as I heard someone shouted.
I fell in the ground,
My eyes widened, I was shocked by what I saw, my hands, and my feet were both trembling in fear.
"A-aunt?" I murmured.
My aunt walked towards me, she was wearing a white shirt and black pants. Her white shirt was covered in blood, a knife was pierced on her chest.
She took the knife that was pierced on her chest and pointed it out to me.
"I'll kill you!"
"Ahhh! Haaaa!"
"Ha! Ha!"
As I opened my eyes, it was so dark, I can't see anything. It's so quiet, the only sound I can hear was the sound of my heavy breathing gasping for air, and my heart beating so fast.
I can fell my sweat running from my forehead, I sit and gasped for air.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! A nightmare." I murmured
Before I died, I killed someone on my previous life.
***
That day, it was my grandparents first death anniversary. Inside my room, I was sitting on the ground while reading my notes, when my aunt came home drunk.
I stand up as I heard the door opening. I went outside my room and saw my aunt.
"Aira? My niece? Where are you?" my aunt shouted. I walk towards my drunken aunt and took her bag.
"Aunt your so drunk!" I said.
"Isn't it obvious?" she said, she walk and passed me, but she fell on the ground.
I looked at her and she was crying.
"Mom, dad! Why? "
"Brother, why?"
My heart ache. I can feel the same pain she feels.
"I can also feel the pain.... I'm also a human."
"Why do you all blame me for something I didn't do....? Just why? "
***
After I put my aunt to bed, I went inside my room to sleep. I woke up when I heard footsteps, my door suddenly opened, I don't know who it was, I couldn't see it because my room is dark. I acted asleep, I can feel someone walking towards me.
I don't have a bed, I'm sleeping in the ground.
"Die!"
I was shock when I heard my aunt's voice. I rolled to the left, I avoided the knife she was about to pierced at me.
"Aunt what are you doing...?" I asked she looked at me, she was smiling, she looked like a psychopath. She pointed out the knife at me and smiled, tears was falling from her eyes.
"Just like mother, and father."
"What are you talking about?" I asked her, she lick the knife and looked at me straight into my eyes.
"Didn't you know? I was the one who killed them. Hahaha! " she laughed like a mad person, and again she pointed the knife at me.
" Then, father... Wh- "
"My stupid brother, your father. I was supposed to kill him along but, he bang his head and forgot everything. When he wake up he saw knife at his blooded hands, I came and blame everything to him... And that's all." I was shocked by her words
"... Then why would you kill me?" I asked her.
"That's because you know everything!"
I frowned by my aunt's words, I felt stupid. I stands up and stare at her.
"... I, I didn't hear anything nor know." I said.
She smiled at me and laughed like a psycho " Whahaha! You didn't what? " she asked while smiling.
"You, stupid, psychopathic, bitch! " I shouted. She looked very displeased by my words.
"You really are her daughter! " she murmured
"Die!" as she shout she run towards me while pointing out the knife she's holding.
Behind me was a bookshelf, I took out a book and throw it at her. It hit her face, she was still a bit drunk, she let go of the knife and fall on the ground. I run out of my room, I lock my room and tried to run outside but the door was locked I can't opened it.
I run towards the kitchen, I didn't know what to do.
"Aira!" I heard my aunt shouted while furiously knocking on the door.
' What the? She's awake, already? '
I look for something that can be used to open the door.
' Why is it quite? '
A loud bang startled me. A sound of something braking.
' It's not the door isn't it? '
I saw a rolling pin on the top of the table and took it. I walk out of the kitchen.
"Aira...? What... Your still here. I thought you run outside? " she asked while smiling.
"How can I. You lock the front door! Stupid! " I shouted, I was holding the rolling pin on both hands.
"What is that? "
"You...blind? Rolling pin! " I said with a trembling voice.
"Hahaha!" she laughed shamelessly, " Are you going to cook or something? " she asked.
"Whaaaaa!" I shouted as I throw the rolling pin at her. And bullseye, it hit her head. She let go of the knife, and fall on the ground.
' I didn't know I'm so good at throwing things. ha!'
' It seems like I discovered my talent. '
I ran towards her and pick up the knife. Her head were bleeding.
I ran towards the front door and tried to open it using the knife, our door was just wood and it's a bit old. So, I thought that with the knife I might be able opened it, somehow.
But, no matter what I do it won't open, I was so scared that I forgot that our door was new.
' This fucking! shit! '
I kick the door really hard, hoping that it will open up, but it didn't. I kicked the door two times again, but nothing changed.
"Ahh! My head, it hurts!"
I turned around and saw my aunt. My eyes were wide opened, I sigh and laughed while crying.
"Whahaha!"
"Whaaa! You're still, alive?" I shouted while crying.
' How come? I know it's possible because we're inside a novel.. But, how could you regain consciousness after being hit by a rolling pin, this quick!? I'm fucking confused?'
" Are you a fucking zombie?" I shout.
She stare at me, I sit down in the ground slowly and hold the knife really tight with both of my hands while pointing it in front of me, I closed my eyes and think about something delicious.
' Adobo.'
' Fried chicken.'
' Puding.'
' Cake.'
The knife I was holding suddenly move, I felt something dripping in my hands.
As I opened up my eyes I saw my aunt's face closed at my face.
Blood were dripping from her mouth, a drop of blood fall down and my gaze followed it down at my hands. My bloody hands, the knife I was holding were peirce at her chest. She suddenly fall on the ground her eyes were wide open.
"W-what, just h-happened?"
Tears starting to fall from my eyes. I keep staring at my trembling bloody hands.
' Did I, just killed my aunt? '
' Did I, just?'
I lowered my head and, my tears fall at my blooded hands.
I look behind as I heard a loud knocking at the door.
"Aira? Open the door!"
' Ashley?'
I cried really hard as I heard ashley's voice shouting outside the door while knocking furiously.
"A... Ashley is that really y-you?"
"Yes, it's me. Aira what's happening?"
' I'm glad it was you. I'm glad to hear that it's you.'
' Her house isn't far from here, I don't know how you came here, but.'
"Thank you for coming, Ashley."
I smiled and cried in happiness and sadness.
"Aira, opened up the door! I don't know what happened to you, but I called the police." she said while knocking on the door.
I looked at my hands and stare up, I close my eyes but my tears still kept falling.
"Aira.. Are you okay? "
My heart felt heavy and I smiled a bit, I felt happy and pleased, as I hear my father's voice calling out my name.
"Aira, can you hear me? What happened inside? Your aunt? Aira, it's me. Your father!"
"Aira open up the door!"
"How can I? Face the both of you with a bloody hands?" I whispered.
"Aira!"
"Aira"
The both of them keep calling up my name.
"Aira!" I heard Ashley's voice.
I was leaning at the door when suddenly someone kick the door and my head hurts as I bang my head.
"Don't kick the door!" I shouted.
"I'm sorry!" Ashley shouted.
I stand up and toke the key at my aunts pocket and open up the door, and it's finally opened.
I saw Ashley and my father standing in front of the door. I saw their eyes widen as the saw what's behind me. Ashley ran to me and hugs me, I cried on her shoulder and so does she.
My gaze turned towards my father who was standing in front of me, he smiled at me and I cried. Ashley let go of me and walk away,
"I'll call the ambulance." she said while crying, she run and my father embrace me.
"Everything will be fine, my daughter." he said while patting my back, I hugged him back and cried.
"Pa-pa! Papa!"
I hugged him tight and cried, he kept patting my back and kept calming me down.
After Ashley, came along with the police, and a while later the ambulance came.
The police investigate the case, and claimed that my aunts death was accident, I told the them what my aunts said she did, and my father proved that his innocent.
