Don’t turn around

"No you can't leave"! A woman screams latching on the pant leg of an angry man who's halfway out the door. "Why are you leaving" Silence "I gave you everything" "What am I gonna do without you" the woman sobs hysterically. Reaching his last straw he angrily looks down at the woman Not saying a word the man roughly removes the woman's hands off his pant leg. He's made up his mind. Accepting defeat she looks down in humiliation and pain trying to regain her composure the room silent no words, no pleads, just sniffles. Sighing he gives his old home a once over very slowly eyes red and watering his eyes land in the corner of the house there he sees a pair of blue eyes. The eyes of his daughter Marlene, at the age of 14 she understood why her father was leaving he's had enough of mothers infidelity. But why did she have to pay the price as well? He eyes her up and down admiring his daughter one last time porcelain skin just like her mothers, smooth brunette hair that reaches her lower back big dough eyes that resemble the deepest bluest parts of the ocean and a little mole on the corner of her thick lips to the left. She has zero resemblance to him She looked just like her mother he was even questioned most of the time if he was actually the father. His eyes read sorrow eyes watering as he thinks about all the good times they used to have as a family even when he knew his wife was cheating, her s****l appetite was ...... Insatiable. It made him feel less of a man when his wife was never satisfied in the bedroom. He's about to open his mouth when the Marlene shakes her head with a small smile tugging on her lips head softly as if she read his mind. This is goodbye for now not forever. A single tear fell on his face and he lets it fall fisting his hands tightly and biting his bottom lip he wipes the tear angrily as his eyes land back on the mother, no sadness just pity with that he turns and slams the door. £ 6 months later Everyday after school Marlene comes home to the smell of her mother thats been practically swimming in liquor all night long, used condoms There was never any food for her and the house looks as though A tornado ran through it. To survive Marlene started cooking and cleaning forcing her mother to eat something though pointless her mother looks spiritually gone. They have become the talk of the town Her being the bastard child and her mother a w***e who can't raise a kid, if it hadn't been for Marlene's smart thinking and maid skills the government would have taken her away long ago. Marlene's mother didn't have a job so they were getting poorer and poorer by the day So Marlene had to get a part time job just to get by . £ 1 year later Marlene's mother had picked herself up a bit though the the house was still always a pigsty and no food as always but not seeing her mother on her deathbed was enough for Marlene. Her mother had started dating again but those never lasted her fingers wouldn't be enough to count how many men her mother introduced her to, most have heard her reputation and got what they needed and fled others saw Marlene as a responsibility and fled the scene there. None of which is Marlene's fault or her problem. But the mother grew rather hostile over her daughter. Blamed her for anything since being born, Marlene knew it was the alcohol but was this the way her mother actually felt towards her? £ 3 years later While Marlene was away at school her mother was alone in the living room in her couch her knees hugging her chest as she leans on a pillow sniffling, she has been crying for hours. Her body relaxes her eyes grew heavy and felt her eyelids were about to close her eyes when a voice filled her head. "Your lonely aren't you" a demonic voice spoke Marlene was now fully alert eyes protruding and sober looking everywhere for the ghostly voice. "I will never leave you , I'll always be one call away" the voice said in a snakily manner. "W-wha-who?" Marlene's voice shakes as she suddenly feels eyes piercing right through her the air changed to a sickening smell she scrunched her nose while shielding it with her hand. Suddenly The room goes quiet for a full minute the room temperature back to normal and that awful order gone she glanced around and her eyes landed on the 3 beer bottles on the floor. Rolling her eyes she picks them up to head to the trash when something catches her eye at the end of the hallway. The dark hallway. Stood a dark tall figure the silhouette outlined a very fit lean man but a dangerously intimidating height of 7'0 tall there was something on top of his head sharp curved......Horns? No it can't she swore it was a hallucination when it opens it's eyes. The beer bottles she forgot she was holding merry the floor with a crash shattering them into pieces, her breathing short , body trembling in fear she slowly backs up stepping in the broken glass leaving tails off bloody footprints to the door unable to look away from the scary image in front of her. Her left hand move to find the door knob or any weapon but her body froze with ultimate terror and swears she felt her heart stop beating causing her doing m skin to turn icy cold, The creature is walking towards her. With each step the beast takes Marlene's mother shrinks and shrinks until her knees meet her chest in the floor The scaly creature bends down to her level dry lips crack loudly as it smiles revealing 2 long canines and razor sharp teeth in each row, Marlene's mother lets out a bloodcurdling scream before darkness consumes her mind.
