The love we desp*sed

She was too young to see it coming. It came too fast, too fast for a girl of her age. The shadow pounced on it's prey and shattered its joy. She was a pain, a raw pain. The person she had trusted ruined her_her dad. That night, she had sat on the porch listening to her dad yelling at her beautiful mom, it was not a new to her; it was always just shocking and terrifying to her. Her father's love had been very much smooth at the beginning that she thought life was a bed full of roses and no thorns, but then; he changed. Into something worse. Something bad. Something disastrous. She thought it was only the yells and groans, but he wanted something more. Something she didn't want to give. Her mom. Her dad had yelled at her and dragged her like a filthy old rag to the dim lit room. she remembered him kicking into the woman's flesh whilst she winced in pain, but he didn't care. She could only stand and watch her mom being brutally beaten by the man she called her father. Then he brought out the devil; a pistol. he had pointed at his wife but his little Emma would have none of it. she screamed on top of her tiny and chocked voice to stop her dad but it seemed the old man wasn't in for something new. Without a second thought or remorse, he shot the laser at the woman sprawled on the floor.The bullet stuck the woman chest, smearing fresh blood on the little girl she'd birthed. The little girl stood there for moments, too shocked to react or to talk. her face turned pale and white, the blood on her hoodie reminding her her mother was gone. She remembered her mother's last words before her once lively blue eyes went shut. "be a good girl for momma, hunny". Her dad bounded her to the small warehouse at the far end of their empty streets where no one would find her. The little girl had cried and kicked into flesh, crying for help but no one would hear her. she'd thought her dad killed them, too. One thing was sure to her; he was coming back for her. Maybe not presently, but in the future.
