“Mom!”
I cry out as I see my father going after her, she was just trying to protect me and get me out of here so I wouldn’t end up following in my father’s footsteps, but she found out more than she should have and found what my father had been hiding.
I tried to run to them, but my father’s men held me back, not letting me intervene. I see my mother look over at me as my father hits her again and she falls to the ground. I yelled and screamed, trying to make my father stop, but no one was rushing to help my mother. I see the men who just yesterday were laughing and smiling with my mother, suddenly all turn a blind eye, what a bunch of cowards, they all look pale and yet they can’t find it in themselves to stand up to him.
“STOP IT” I yelled again, my father looked over at me and smirked.
“You have made our son weak MarieAnn, tch that won’t do now, will it?”
He said with a low husk, he then sat on top of her and placed his hands around her throat. I watched as my mother’s eyes became bigger and she tried to fight him off, she scratched his arms and hands, and he just tightened his grip.
“Now stop fighting MarieAnn, you know you can’t win,”
he said through a chuckle. I watched her become more and more limp, she turned her head to me, and I saw the tears in her eyes,
“I love you.”
She mouthed to me and then I saw the light leave them. My father got up off of her and wiped his hands, he walked towards me, and I couldn't bring myself to look at him. I balled my fist at my sides, and I felt his hand land on top of my head.
“Remember love makes you weak, and we Malith men are not that,” and with that he had left me with my mother’s body.
