The Pink Clip

Bloody Letter

I took a step and walked towards the cabinet. My guts are telling me that I should check it out.

I slowly opened the cabinet door, and there was a square box sitting behind my mom's nightgown. It looks like a gift because it was wrapped with a beautiful wrapper and a piece of ribbon attached to it.

I picked it up and opened it. There was a beautiful white dress and another tear rolled my eye.

This is the white dress my dad gave to me a few years ago.

I took it out and raised it to take a better look.

"Daddy...  I missed you."

My voice cracked up. I looked at the box again and saw a letter.

I fished out the letter and slowly opened it.

With bloodshot eyes, I read the letter.

Dearest Stephanie,

Happy Birthday, princess Steffi. It's been so long since I called you that. How I wish I could hug you while you're awake. But I can't, I shouldn't. I can only hug you when you're sleeping because that's the time I can sneak into your room and be with you. Every time I hit you, baby, it pains me more than you know. I also slap myself a hundred times and even curse myself. But I know it won't compare to what you have suffered. If only your daddy is here. If only he's alive. I'm really sorry, baby. But baby, right now, on your birthday, I will complete this plan. Your psychopath stepdad will no longer harm you. You can now wear your pink clip again. I don't why he's so turned on everytime you wear that clip, but today it will end here. I'm sorry baby, for hurting you. I only did that just so that your stepdad will be disgusted at you and lose his evil libido. Everytime I slap your face, that psychopath satisfies his being, making him leave you and not touch you again. I have lots of things to explain to you baby, so please trust me. Under that white dress of yours, I prepared a gun. Please keep that and I'll find a good chance and kill him myself. He won't be able to lift a finger on my baby Steffi anymore. He won't hurt us anymore. Please be patient, baby.

Happy Birthday, baby. I love you forever and always.

Love,

Mommy

Rivers of tears fell down my eyes.

What is happening?

I quickly scanned the box to look for the gun. My heart dropped when I saw no signs of a gun inside the box.

Where is it?

I heard sudden footsteps behind me and before I could turn around, I felt a cold object at the back of my head.

"Are you looking for this?"

I bit my lip and blood started gushing down.

He laughed evilly, giving shivers through my spine.

I closed my eyes and heard him slide his gun, aiming at my head.

"Say hi to your mom when you meet her."

A smile formed my lips.

See you, mommy and daddy.

I swallowed hard and wait for him to pull the trigger.
