Forgetting was difficult…remembering was worse.

She hated getting flashbacks from things she didn't want to remember

" I'm going to be there for real " Presley giggled and hung up almost immediately, she kept walking home in the eerie street all alone . She seemed calm though, what could go wrong anyways

Staring at the night sky she heaved a very deep sigh then suddenly an evil grin crept on her face . She couldn't wait till 11pm

The best night of her life , she had asked her step mom she wanted to go to a party but unfortunately it wasn't approved but she had expected it anyways …Ofcourse her stepmom wouldn't approve, she loathed her but honestly she didn't care at all

She asked her father but since her stepmom used a love portion or something she couldn't convince her father so no matter what she would sneak out today

She wouldn't get locked in that stupid house all her life !

She was 16 !

Noo definitely not

If that stupid woman wants a child to boss around all the time she better go for an IVF

Opening the main door quietly because she was late and it's passed her curfew she took off her shoes and started to tip toe with her socks , she knew her stepmom would always be waiting for her so she'd probably get caught again

Surprisingly no one was waiting for her , she seemed kind of disappointed

So her so called parents didn't care for her at all , she was supposed to be happy no one caught her but instead she was mad

She stopped tiptoeing and started walking normally, when she got to her room door she twisted the knob and was opening until something distracted her

Her head snapped at her parents room door and she grimaced her face

What was that noise

Another scream echoed and she grimaced even more

"M-mom…d-dad ?!" She walked slowly to their door but didn't hear anything again

Thinking she was probably overthinking it and they might just be having sex , she scoffed and walked towards her room door

Stupid parents

Don't they know they have a sixteen year old daughter , what were they trying to teach her

She stepped into her room and wanted to lock it so she wouldn't hear those horrible sounds again when another terrifying scream was heard

She ran towards the room and without even thinking she pushed it open

Her eyes screamed and she stumbled and fell on her butt …as if something gripped her chest hard ..her eyes watered and her vision blurred ..she took a deep breath trying to steady her emotions and she kept swallowing subconsciously. She couldn't even scream, the scene was too horrifying . She felt hot salty tears began rolling down her cheeks .

What was going on ?!

Her stepmom was covered in blood and he dad was lying helplessly on the bed like a lifeless being. She looked so horrifying right now

Her step mother turned her head to face her and got off her dad's unmoving body

She stared at Presley with watered eyes and walked towards her slowly with her bloodied night dress

"P-Presley-d-darling …I-it w-wasn't me , I d-didn't—" she trailed off as she stared at the stained knife she was holding in her hand when Presley was staring at it with reddened eyes

She gasped and dropped the knife …she stared at herself In shock as if not believing what she just did ..she moved closer and Presley moved back

"D-don't come a-any c-closer " she whimpered crawling away from her as she was still weak with the shock

Her stepmom ignored her words and stared at her intensely

" it wasn't me .. y-your -d-da-"

" I said stay away from me !!!! " she sobbed and finally got the strength to stand up …she ran to her dad and kneeled on the bed

Trying to wake him up she wailed "dad!!" She covered his wounded and bleeding chest with her palms and wailed even more

" dad?! ..say something please" her breathing became raspy and she glared at her step mom

"Did you stab him ?" She whispered and her stepmom fell to the floor and covered her eyes sobbing…

" I-I h-h-e…I-I-didn't…" she moved closer to Presley and grabbed her by her tee

" Presley…believe m-me I beg you…i se-wear I -"

" DON'T YOU FUCKING TOUCH ME " she screamed and pushed her off the bed

" I'm calling the police " she stated and pulled her phone out of her pockets with shaky and bloodied hands "I'll—c-call the po-lice "

" Presley no … help me pleasee don't call the police " her stepmom trembled and held her arm staring at her with teary swollen eyes … she was clenching her jaw

" you murderer ! Let go of me " Presley struggled to get her arms away from hers but the lady kept her grip tight and when she thought she got her arms away from hers she got pushed mistakenly and hit her head on the knob of the bedside drawer

A loud yelp was released from Presley's lips and she touched the back of her head only to see that she was bleeding. She saw her stepmom coming close to her while she was lying helplessly on the floor with no way to get up

" murderer?!" Her stepmom scoffed . It was like the fear she had seconds ago had vanished .

"Murderer?!" She repeated again and Presley moved back resting her bloody hair on the wall

"Stay back …please" she muttered but her stepmom laughed

" you're the real murderer here Presley… this wouldn't have happened if you just came home early… you are stubborn .. your father should have never adopted you …. You're a good go nothing little bitch " she kept walking towards her slowly as she pointed at her dead husband on the bed

" stop saying rubbish and stay back you murderer " she sobbed and yelped before she sighted the knife which was used to murder her father beside her . Thinking of threatening her she grabbed the stained knife before thinking twice

" don't come near me " she pointed the knife at her stepmom and she laughed maniacally

"You psychopath "she muttered and her stepmom glared at her " how would you kill your own husband" she wailed

She kneeled in front of Presley and her lips twitched " let the knife go " she commanded but Presley ignored

" stay back ! I'm warning you " Her threats were nothing to her stepmom … the weak girl looked like she feared her right now ..

she could see through her …she was so scared right now

This little bitch

She was never this scared of her before…no matter how she tried , she had finally seen through her feigned bravado . A smile curved at the corner of her lips and she moved closer

Presley heart started beating more than fast …and she didn't know what to do , she thought she might move back and get scared when she threaten her with a knife but this woman was doing the opposite

Fear gripped her heart and her throat got itchy and before she knew it her body acted before her mind

" I SAID STAY BACK !!"
