The sound of our new apartment door unlocking filled my ears, feeling exhausted from the move and the heavy load of a suitcase filled with clothes, I felt relief. I was the first to walk in, my dad following with a smile on his face.

"Whew!" Dad sighed hanging the keys by the door.

We were finally done after moving our furniture in and last but not least, our clothes and ourselves.

"Come here you."

Dad pulled me to him and gave me a big hug and chuckling.

"It's not much but it'll do for us, a home is a home."

He let go.

"Go unpack and we'll watch a movie together."

I nodded, I ran to my new room to unpack. 

My name is Katherine Nicole Griffin, I'm fourteen years old, I was raised by my dad and only my dad. I don't know why he never got married or had a girlfriend. I asked him that once and he said that I came first. I had no fucking idea whether to take it as an insult or a compliment. I had no mother, no aunts or uncles or cousins, grandparents. It was just me and my dad! I also have no fucking idea what Dad does for work, I asked him and he scolded me saying it was rude to ask a parent what they do and a child shouldn't worry and have a childhood. I guess I understood what he meant, I'll never have a fucking career day at school anyway.

As Dad put the movie in, I noticed how small and worn down the apartment was, but a home is a home like Dad said. It was the cheapest he could afford. He sat by me on the couch, I rested my head on his shoulder. I felt him kiss me on my head, I looked up and saw him look at me like I was his whole world. I returned the kiss on his cheek and we continued to watch the movie. 

*David's POV*

Me and my daughter Katherine just moved to Chicago and into our new place. Right now, we're watching a movie right after we unpacked and stuff. It honestly feels good being with my daughter. I live a double life you know. I'm known as The Watcher, I target, stalk, and kill lonely women by strangling them with a piano wire. It's just what I do. You may be wondering, Katherine will grow up and I might kill her. No, I'm not gonna kill her, she doesn't know what I do and I wanna keep it that way, my home life and my life outside of that are two different things. I raised her to be a normal child, at least I try to be a good father. I try not to fuck up my child's life despite my lack of empathy for others. Also, in case you were wondering where her mom is, she walked out us, I did have a girlfriend, promised myself to be a good father. She's now fourteen, I taught her everything there is to know, basic life skills, puberty, etc. So far, I think I'm doing pretty damn good. I won't let her end up as fucked up as I am.

I could hardly keep my eyes open after a while, the movie was starting to get good, me and her both were fucking tired. My eyes were starting to close but when they did, they shot back open; Yep I was that tired.

*Katherine's POV*

I noticed Dad trying not to fall asleep.

"Let's go to bed, my first day of school's tomorrow."

I turned the movie off while Dad yawned and stretched his arms out.

"Good night kitten."

"Night Dad."

I gave him one last hug before we went to bed.
