The Truth

ESCHA POINT OF VIEW

I sigh again as i watch Kate pace around muttering things under her breath. I can tell that she is getting frustrated by the way she keeps running her hands through her shoulder length hair. She came here around 30 minutes ago and started asking me questions. All differently worded but the same: "Why?"

~30 minutes earlier~

My body jolts awake at the sound of a door opening and closing . I can't tell who it is because its dark but I'm pretty sure that it's Kate . 

the lights cut on confirming my assumption. Kate comes toward me with a folding chair and stops a few feet in front of me. I watch her as she unfolds the chair and sits in it without breaking eye contact . Her emotionless face makes her look sinful. Not the deliciously looking.. The deadly looking sinful. 

We sit there watching each other for what felt like hours but couldn't have been no more than a few minutes. when i finally get tired of the silence I opened my mouth to say something only to get cut off. 

" I went to his house today." She stated while maintaining eye contact with me. Licking her lips she continued. "I know you know who im talking about." She says watching my emotions cross my face. Who? 

"Our father!" She yells at me.

"Your father that sick bastard is no Father of Mine!" I yell back just as loud as she did . I didn't see the punch coming towards my face and didn't have time to duck or block myself from it, and i go falling down to the ground. 

I push myself back up and keep maintaining eye contact with her. She doesn't seem to notice that don't have the chains on my wrist anymore. " that bastard stop being my father after what he did and when he killed my mom you know this." I stated more calmly. 

She looks at me in disbelief. " did what stole one of your dolls from you?" She asked mockingly. 

Lacey didn't tell her. Nobody knows what has happened but lacey and Ava.. The thought of me dying before i get to see either one of them makes tears come to my eyes. 

" oh don't cry kitty cat we're only just getting started" she laughs uncontrollably. Again I don't see what's coming and she kicks me in my abdomen, followed by a punch to the face. 

I feel really weak. I cannot let this go on . she needs to know the truth. 

"Tell me why you think i killed him, Kate." I more demanded than asked.  

"I don't know why you killed him. But i know that you did and i want to know why." She says getting up walking back and forth. I shake my head no. I will not go through the pain of explaining that again. 

So that's how it went for 20 more minutes. Her asking why I killed him, and kicking me.

~present~

She's tired. She has sweat and blood all over her knuckles from punching me repeatedly. I'm surprised I haven't passed out yet. But this has to stop.

The next punch she sends flying towards my face has me up and moving. She doesn't expect for me to get up so ends up punching the concrete where i was laying.She cries out and turns around. As soon as she turns her head towards me i kick her square in the jaw. She goes falling back and i keep kicking her. I hear a couple of cracks and decide that I should stop. I kick her one last time in the face before standing back up. "YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY?" I ask tears running down my bloodied face.. "I f*****g KILLED HIS ASS BECAUSE HE r***d ME OVER AND OVER. HE ABUSED ME EVERY DAY WHEN MY MOM LEFT. SHE LEFT WHEN I WAS SIX! f*****g 6!" I sob out uncontrollably. When I catch my breath I continue talking. "But its not her fault that I got r***d. It was that sadistic son of a b***h who liked seeing me in pain!" I walked over to her and knelt beside her. I grab a handful of her blonde hair and tighten my grip. "It was out of self defense. And no one was there to f*****g help me Kate! " i screamed in her face. My grip became tighter and I watched as her face confronted into one of pain. "y-your lying" she says between her teeth. 

I let out a disbelieving laugh. "Lying?" I say in shock. 

I let go of her hair and began pacing back and forth, not paying attention to her. I had my back turned and I feel my hair being pulled. Im thrown back into the wall and let out a grunt at impact. I push myself forward and tackle Kate back to the ground. We tumble around landing punches anywhere we can until I end up straddling her while she is on her back. I drop my weight and pin her arms behind her back. "Where am i?" I ask her catching my breath. 

"I need to get out and go see Lacey." I tell her. She starts laughing even though it sounds forced. 

" you won't be able to see her anyway" she says and I look at her confused ."what do you mean?" I ask apprehensively

"By the time you get to her she will be dead. If she isn't all ready" she laughs and coughs up blood. I can tell she is lying but i cannot stop my body from moving on its own accord. 

My fist hits her face harder and harder until my knuckles throb. Even then i still don't stop. My hand grips her throat so tight that she stops breathing. 

I hear a door being opened and my name being shouted but i still keep hitting her. I'm pulled off of her into a warm soft chest but I keep trying to get back at her. The person holding me grabs onto my face forcing me to look at them and I freeze. 

Ava is here right in front of me. My body calms at her touch. I lean forward and place my lips on hers. It's not a long kiss. But it's enough to show that I miss her. She opens her mouth to speak but before she can i feel darkness taking over me and I fall limp in her arms.
