“How many were there?Why did you do it? How did you do it? You’re not the only one involved are you? Who were they? How many did you....”,

“I’m gonna stop you right there chief. First of all, do you believe that phrase; you don’t mean anything when you’re angry?”,

“Please stop this nonsense. Why did you do it? I mean did you even do it? I mean you’re not even in college yet.”,

“You can do so many things even if you don’t go to college. I mean there was about... 40 people there. And why’d I do it you ask? Because I was mad, it was noisy, crowded, and there was a guy beating up his wife at our backyard. I couldn’t sit still so I screamed. But my mom, slapped me for “interupting” everyone’s night. I was upset so I lashed out. I yelled “Everyone here doesn’t even know your full name! And who the **** said to invite them over?! You know what nevermind, it’s not like you’ll listen. And by the way, there’s a guy beating up his wife at our backyard, you guys better fix that problem or someone’s gonna end up dead tonight!”.”,

“Go on. We’ll listen. We won’t judge for you anything that you say.”,

“Oh thank you. Ok, I’ll continue, after I yelled I went somewhere. Can you guess where?”, I asked excitedly.

He gulped.

“Did you head to the kitchen?”,

“Nope! I headed to my room. Some kids were there, so I invited them to my room to watch some cartoons. There was 13 kids, I also let them survive. I have a bathroom in my room so I locked them in... with their permission of course. I told them to keep quiet, because me and the grown ups are going to talk for a bit. Before I left I also shut the lights, covered the windows with curtains and locked it, gave them snacks, and blasted the volume so they won’t be able to hear anything on the outside. Do you want to hurry to the greatest part of the story?”,

“Yes, yes please.”,

“Ok, you’ve been a great listener by the way.”,

“Th-thank you.”,

“Alright, I went to the kitchen to get some supplies. I grabbed a knife, matches, gasoline, and chlorine. When I was about to head out, someone came at me from behind, he grabbed my neck and pointed it upwards. It was the guy from our backyard... the one who beat up his wife. He whispered something to me;”Who do you think will die first? Me? You? Or my Wife?”.”,

“WAIT!”, the policeman interrupted.

“Did he...”,

“Will you please just let me finish? He didn’t kill his wife. Because I killed him first. I guess he lost the guessing game. Though for some reason, after I finished that guy off his wife was shrivelling. She looked shocked. So then I asked her;”Do you think your husband didn’t deserve that?”. But she thanked me, and said she was waiting for this moment all of her married life! I was so ecstatic for helping someone, but before I helped myself, I said that she could go upstairs with the children if she doesn’t want to see anything else. And so she did, she was so kind..”,

“Please, can you hurry?”,

“Oh yeah, I’m sorry. So as I was saying, after that lady went to my room... I started the siesta.”,

“Wait, sorry to interrupt. Who was the people your mom invited? And why were they invited?”,

“My mom said they were relatives, but I don’t really know most of them. Like the couple earlier. They were far relatives I guess.”,

“Alright. Continue.”,

“Hmmm, I walked out of the kitchen, hid the knife at the back of my pants and met everyone at the front yard. I apologised to my mom... then it hit me. Why do I keep apologising to everything they do wrong to me? It’s her fault, why did she invite them over, I refused didn’t I? Why won’t she take me seriously? Why is it so noisy?!”,

“And then?”.

“I ran towards the other guests. I shook their hands and put holes in their stomachs. I felt alive for some reason! It was the best thing I ever did! After I stabbed 8 people, 5 guys charged at me and tried to take the knife away, but they just couldn’t so I did them a favor and put an end to their pathetic efforts. I slit their throats, when they fell at the ground... I laughed and thought; I really did those guys!! Best family reunion, I’d say.”,

“Wait-wait-wait. How did you ended half of them?”,

“I had matches and gasoline right?”,

“But we never saw anyone got burned.”,

“Yeah, another 3 guys came at me and finally managed to stop me. They took my knife away and pinned me to the ground. I got away with a little distraction, someone went inside and saw my first victims’ body. She yelled, so everyone outside thought that I was working with someone and headed in. HAHAHAHA! They were stupid enough to let me go. By that time I already retrieved my knife and proceeded to kill the three guys before.”,

“Why?”,

“Why not? My mom looked me in the eyes for the first time. It was like paradise for me, blood gushing out of one persons throat and an eye out of place for another. They were all terrified of me. I was enjoying the attention for once, then I thought.... why stop here? There are still 10 people left. I wasn’t really paying attention to the others, that one got to the phone and called someone. It was obvious that she didn’t call the police because if she did you would arrive the next minute or so.”,

“How would you know what time we’ll arrive?”,

“I planned it before going out of the kitchen. I grabbed a map and studied the distance. Is that enough answer?”,

“Okay, tell me more.”,

“I ended up about, how many people? Did you keep count? I lost track sorry.”,

“17, you ended at 17.”,

“Thanks, I ended 5 more... after. It was fun then I finally let them call the police. I was contented... I was so happy. And thank god no kid got hurt!”,

“You killed half of all the children’s parents. How can you say they’re fine?”,

“They don’t need them. Before all the commotion, I noticed triplets being forced to perform for the people there. Then there was this siblings, they were the children of my first victim, and just like their mother they were also being abused by their father. And me, I didn’t kill my parents but I was tormented for years. I wanted to end it all, but I couldn’t because I know I’ll get to experience new things... and I was right! I was the happiest I’ve ever been all this 17 years of my life!”,

“How were you being abused?”,

“Hmmmm... do you I have to say it?”, I asked in an unwell tone.

“If you’re not comfortable doing it then you don’t have to.”,

“Will you help me find him if I tell you?”,

“Uh, sure. I’ll help you.”,

“He’s at the riverside, many people reported that they could already smell his rotting body. Northeast near the pond he’s right about there.”,

The policeman told the other guys what I just told him. They were ready to find him.

“He abused me, verbally, mentally, physically and socially. Both of them did. My mom had a miscarriage so I guess they blamed me for it. I wasn’t enough for them... for years I worked my fucking *** off just to stay at the top at school, but they didn’t even notice. I worked so hard! They even picked a college for me and the course too. But even that wasn’t enough. So why not take revenge for once, it’s been here all these years after all.”,

“Who was he? Your father?”,

“Yay! You got it right! He knew I was shrivelled up inside, that’s why I disposed of him. It was about a year ago when he went missing... but I told everyone that some guys in a van kidnapped him... I was pretty sure a good looking guy saw me back then. The one that saw me was probably the same age as me, all I remember looking back was that he was wearing an earing... but there was no other pair. Everyone at the house that time believed me, because I was covered in bruises from him fighting back. That’s about it I guess. Thanks for listening.”,

“You can go with the other officers now. Your mother is waiting for you outside.”, he said then two officers stepped inside.

“Oohh, she’s waiting huh? Do you think she heard what I said about my dad?”,

“She did, she heard everything.”,

“You traitor. You know what let’s make a bet. Do you think when I get out of here and meet my mom outside she’ll survive?”,

“No. You won’t be able to touch her. You’re cuffed right now. So don’t even think about it.”,

“I’m not just going to think about it. I’m gonna do it!”, I said then showed them my hands.

I escaped the two officers, the moment I opened the door she tackled me. I was in the ground flat on my chest, she also put her hands on top of mine so I wouldn’t be able to move.She yelled in my ears saying the things I’ve already heard a thousand times.

“You ungrateful bitch! You’re such a pain! You even killed your father for that stupid reason! You really are stupid! Noone will ever understand you! You’re a freak! And now you’re blaming us!? You really are as useless as your father described! Now I really mean what I said before, why did we end up with you in the first place!”,

“Can you use other insults this time? I’m sick and tired of hearing the same thing over and over! Come up with something new! COME ON!”, I yelled.

For once I didn’t feel like crying, I could just smile and forget all that’s happened to me.

“Ma’am, please get off your daughter. You could be imprisoned for what she have told us.”,

“For what reason? For abusing her? She deserved it! Come on Theo, you know what she’s doing! And you girl, don’t act so hurt! You survived didn’t you? You’re pathetic.”,

“I always am.”, I answered her.

The kind policeman took my mom off of me... then cuffed her. I was still lying on the floor but I was enjoying every bit of it.

“What are you doing?! Why are you cuffing me?! Shouldn’t you be doing that to her?!”,

“Ma’am you have just admitted that you have been abusing your own daughter. Gentlemen, please take her away.”,

I stood up and put my hands behind my back.

“What are you doing?”, the policeman asked.

“I’m ready to go to the big house.Cuff me chief!”,

“You’re going to the mental institution. Not prison. We’re afraid you’ll get out too easily.”,

I burst into tears after hearing what he said.

“Thank you. You finally caught that bitch. I’ll never do anything wrong again, I promise. Please take me away.”,

He cuffed me.

“Don’t kill anyone while you’re there. Here, take her.”, he said then the two that took my mom came in again.

“Chief, how many killers are in that mental hospital?”, I asked blatantly.

“Enough to make you shut up.”,

“Will it be wrong to let them know how it feels like?”,

“Yes. It is.”,

“Alright then, I’ll believe you.”, I answered.

The two officers then took me to their car.I saw the families of the ones I killed... they were looking sharp! They looked good even though they were just mourning for the dead. Black Silk, Black Leather?! Will someone dress for me like that someday? I guess there’s no time to spare then!

As they took me away I saw the kids that were at my house the other day near the counselling office. They need too much, why couldn’t they be as simple minded as me. They looked sad, the policeman was right... they needed their parents for now.

We drove passed all of the places that used to made me feel at ease. Then we passed the riverside. I thought to myself... did they find him yet? I leaned in and put my forehead at the window of the backseat.

“Hey.”, I said as I breathe to the glass.

“Yeah miss?”, one of the policemen asked.

“Have your buddies found him yet?”,

“Who would that be?”,

“Hmmm... nevermind. It’s not like you went with them. But thank you for worrying.”, I answered.

“Make your self look decent.... we’re here.”,

The mental institution was looking lively as usual, families visit there loved ones, and some on the side tries to kill each other. The perfect retirment home for crazy bastards, the W.M. Mental Institution.

“Do you think I’ll fit in?”,

“You will. Just don’t push your luck.”

“Of course, of course. Thanks again!”, I exclaimed then waved goodbye as they left.

“Welcome Miss Mary Phillips! We’re happy to be with you today! Just follow that man right there and he’ll guide you to your room.”, a man in all white, big smile and red hair at the reception desk said to me.

“Thank you sir.”, I said then smiled back.

I followed his instructions and went with said man. He was a huge man! His job was probably knocking people out, or stopping fights in here or... something.

I passed a few crowd, with suspicious looking faces. They all looked toward me as I walked passed them. I smiled to all the people I walk by so I can feel easy.

When we arrived at my room he whispered something as he locked the door.

“Sir Wilbur has asked you to come at the rooftop tonight.”,

“Any specific time jumbo?”,

“9:00 miss.”,

“Thank you! But who is this Wilbur?”,

“All information must be kept secret upon meeting him.”, he said all terrified.

“Alright, sorry for making you do this! Bye now.”,

Hmmmm... Wilbur? Wilbur....

Nope never heard it before.

Wait W.M. ? Is that suppose to be him?

Few hours passed and the time to meet Wilbur came.

“You can come out now ma’am. He’s waiting.”, Jumbo guy whispered through the door of my room.

“Is this suppose to be a huge party or something?”, I whispered as we were walking at the hallways.

“You’ll find out soon enough ma’am.”,

We walked and arrived where we were supposed to meet.

“Please seat here ma’am, he’ll be right with you.”,

It was dark up here... he made me sat down at a suspicious looking table without anything on it! Is this supposed to be a date or something?

Out of nowhere a band started playing... they were playing a violin, waiters were organising the table. They put a red cloth to cover it and a candle to set the mood.

“This is way to cheesy! I’m out of here!”, I said then walked away.

“Can’t you wait a little longer for me dear?”, a guy hiding at a darker part of the roof said to me.

“Who the hell are you suppose to be? Are you some kind of psycho waiting to kill me? Oh! If that’s the reason I’m here, then stab away friend!”,

“Mary Phillips. I do not wish kill you... I want for you to notice me!”, he replied without even moving from where he is.

“And that’ll do good for me? How?”, I sarcastically asked.

“It won’t benefit you now. But it will soon... now won’t you join me?”, he said then moved out of the shadows.

He looked so fine!! He was wearing a white long sleeve, dark pants, and slick balck shoes. He had rich written all over him, his hair was a short bright blonde, his eyes were baby blue, and skin that was blooming with brightness. He put a little of his hair to the side which made me notice a single diamond earing.

“Glad you didn’t tell on me pretty boy. Sure I’ll talk to you, but this better be good or you’re going to end up at the front gate in a minute.”, I responded then sat with him at the table.

“I’m so happy that you listened to me. I never told on you because I wanted to keep you for myself.. you were amazing beating that guy’s ***.”,

“Are you finished? Because I can’t wait any longer. Get to the fucking point.”,

“I want you to kill for me. My father is a terrible man, he killed over 10 people this week. All because he didn’t like them... he also beats up my mom. It only started last week, but my mom’s wounds are vital. I can’t call the police, or take her to the hospital, because my father would certainly kill me. That’s all the favor I’m asking you. Help me.”, he said sounding desperate.

“Sure I’ll help you. Can I set a condition? Call the police after I’ve done it.”,

“Why would you do that?”,

“First of all Wilbur, if you don’t call the police you’ll become a suspect as well. They’ll think you’re going after your father’s money and did the best you could to kill him. And second, with or without evidence someone out there will accuse you and make you suffer for it, and besides you’re the only one that can access everything that your father has. So yeah, that’s about it.... I’m still in by the way.”,

“I’ll agree to your conditions, but how will you act if the police catches you?”,

“Hmmmm... I don’t know. But I’m sure there’ll be a time when they will kill me. Can I ask you your full name?”,

“Wilbur Montana II, my father owns this mental institution. He hopes that if he pays one of this guys they’ll kill for him, but he doesn’t know that noone here is sane anymore. Except you of course.”,

“Thank you. Let me tell you my other condition....”, I said then whispered my last request.

He smiled then responded.

“As you wish Miss. Is that all? I can give you so much more than that you know?”,

“Oh I’m certain that’s enough.”,

“When will our mission execute?”,

“Tomorrow. Get me out of here by 12. I have a perfect plan.”,

“Can you tell me about it now?”,

“Not yet, I just need to sneak into your car trunk. In front of security cameras.”,

“I won’t attend to your conditions unless you tell me.”, he said all serious.

“Alright. As I’ve watched on the news before, you and your father, and a bunch of bodyguards come here to do a routine check until 3 in the morning. But sometimes you leave early and get out by midnight.

That’s where this all begins, you pretend to be bored and request an early dismissal from your routine checks. I also need a distraction so I can easily get at the trunk.”,

“I kinda like where this is going.”,

“You do now, if your distraction doesn’t work I’ll have to cut you. So people will believe that you’re not taking part at any of this. Once we get to the house, I’ll knock you out and wound you a little so we can add a little more performance to the act. Get someone.... maybe your maid to call the police, is that understood? If I won’t be going to prison, and they send me back here... grant me my wish.”,

“I’d be happy to. Well now that that’s cleared up. I’ll be going now.”, he said and kissed the back of my palm then left.

“You really are one cheesy *** punk.”, I said then headed to my room.

Jumbo guy escorted me back, and did a little interview with him, too.

“Did you know about his fathers murders?”, I blatantly asked.

“Of course, I was his most trusted guard. But when his son was born, I was assigned to work for him instead. Even before Wilbur was born, his father did everything he needed to do, for him to stay at the top.”,

We arrived at my room he warned me about Wilbur Sr. on how dangerous he could be.

“Even with your expertise at slaughtering, you won’t be enough to kill that man. Especially when you harm his son. Things won’t turn out the way you expect it to be when you lay a finger on Wilbur. I gave my warning to you, it’s up to you now.”,

“Hey Jumbo, do you think he deserves this?”, I asked as I was closing the door to my room.

“What ever happens to him, he knows what he has done. And he’s aware to what he deserves.”,

“I guess you’re right. Let’s just hope me and your boss won’t get our asses kicked. Good night now.”, I said then completely closed the door.

“I won’t be able to wish you good luck. But please be careful.”, he said then,sounded like he was walking away.

Hmmmm.... if I’m lucky I’ll get to see another dead body. Or probably I’ll be kucky enough to be killed myself.

The police officers were right... I do fit in.

Morning already? I guess this will count as an absent in school. Good thing I won’t miss anyone.

A knock suddenly came, very loud ones too. I guessed that was Jumbo guy waiting to escort me.

“Who is it?”, I yelled.

“I was the guy at the reception desk yesterday. You can call me Mike. I’ll be your caretaker. Please prepare yourself.”,

Is he going to hose me down like in the movies?

“Prepare for what?”, I asked ready to charge at the door any moment.

“Fix yourself, clean your bed and yourself. I’m coming in now.”, he said then opened the door.

I sat properly at my bed. And waited for him to put my breakfast at the table he brought with him.

“I know you never wanted to kill those people. You just can’t help yourself.But you’re safe here now. Nothing and noone will bother you. And it’s so peaceful here too, make yourself at home.”, he told me then walked out of the room after setting up my breakfast.

My favor was granted!! Mike served me sausage, coffee and scrambled eggs for breakfast. That Wilbur sure is a man of his word. I asked him for one more condition remember? I whispered it to him....

I approached the door and peeked if Mike was still there. And he was.

“Hey Mike, tell Wilbur I appreciate him doing this.”, I whispered to him.

“What do you mean Mary? That’s what we serve here every wednesday.”,

“Oh yeah. Sorry. I’m just new here so I didn’t know.”, I replied then went back inside.

I ate my brekfast slowly to enjoy every bit of it. I received a fork, bread knife and pudding for dessert. I wanted to spook Mike a little so after I ate I hid the bread knife at my sleeve. I was wearing an all white outfit like the employees and the other residents. It was the outfit you would normally see at a Movie worn by crazy people at a mental hospital.

And it is long sleeved. I thought to myself for a moment..... what if a riot started and almost every person locked up in here picks up a fight. Then police officers won’t be able to tell the employees and the residents apart. HEHE that’s pretty good actually.

“Are you done? I’m only suppose to come in when your done.”,

“I am. Sorry for taking so long.”, I replied then hid behind the door.

He walked in... I was ready to pounce at him. I put out my knife and jumped at him from behind.

“What do you think your doing?”, he struggled.

I put my arm around his neck, he tried to fight back.... so I made him loose his balance by kicking the back of his knee.

“Fighting won’t help you. I just wanted to spook you a little but I guess adding another number to my kill count isn’t bad either.”, I said directly to his ear.

“You won’t kill me. There’s a security camera in here, if they notice what your doing they’ll come running to restrain you.”, he said almost out of breath.

“If they’re really coming what’s taking them so long?”,

“They’ll come for me...”, he was already gagging so I released him.

“I’ll probably get you next time, but don’t expect me to wait that long. Learn to fight back... I know this isn’t the first time you were threatened. Next time I won’t hesitate... but I know the others won’t either. Don’t loose to a seventeen year old, or even a fifty year old.”,

I said then threw the knife at him.

“Don’t act all high and mighty. I can kill you anytime I want.”, he said after catching the knife and pointed it at me.

“Then try. I’ll wait...”, I said to him again and laid at my bed then stared at the ceiling.

“I’ll be going now.”, he told me then left.

I’ll be waiting for your promise to be granted....
