I grab on to his throat as tightly as I can, hoping to end his reign of terror right here and right now. Forever.

He gurgles out in pain, fighting and clawing at my arms to get me to release him.

"Sorry dad! You're currently fighting against years and years of pent up rage and frustration!" I laugh as his knees buckle beneath him. "You killed my mom!" I remind him.

I plan on never letting him forget.

He lands on the floor, smashing my back into the carpet and giving me a better angle to choke him from.

I'm winning. I'm actually winning.

After everything he's ever done to me, my family, and everyone I've ever loved, I am finally able to get revenge.

"Paybacks a bitch, isn't it dad?"

He falls limp in my arms. I smile and release him, letting my body relax beneath him. I didn't realize until now just how much ease killing my father would bring me.

Before I have time to catch my breath, my father spins around and grabs on to my throat, giving me a taste of my own medicine.

He tricked me.

I guess I should have known better than to assume.

I fight against him, clawing at his face with my fingernails. Despite me drawing quite a bit of blood along with the skin I'm ripping off of his face, he doesn't stop.

I can feel myself losing consciousness with every second that passes by.

Sirens in the distance are my heroes. They distract him long enough for me to push him off of me. He leaps into his feet. "I can't believe you used my excitement about your baby to try and kill me. That's despicable!"

"And I can't believe you've killed everyone I love!" I argue back, hoping to keep him here long enough for the police to get here. I press myself up on my elbows. "Everyone I love." I repeat, hoping to appeal to the small part of him that is still human.

"Not everyone." He says simply before leaving the room. He quickly pokes his head back in. "Is Tyler home?" He laughs and rushes down the hall.

A fire is lit inside of me with his words. I jump up from the floor and chase after him. I tackle him as he reaches the steps.

Him and I tumble down the stairs together.
