(Sam's POV)

There I was, a 13-year-old with my heart punched against my rib cage over and over as the blood on the floor crawled towards be as if trying to reach me. My mother's eyes were wide and her mouth was opened, only to let blood trickle from the corner of her soft lips. His boots made the floor boards creak softly.

"Samantha, come out, come out where ever you are" he sang as if we were just playing hide-and-seek like when I was young but now it was hard to believe he was once the father I loved.

His dark, worn boots stopped next to the woman right in front of me on the ground, next to the bed I was hiding under. In a swift movement, he kicked her body away as if she were worthless. I wanted to crawl out from under the bed and punch him but that was what he wanted so I stayed were I was. Slowly, his boots turned to face the bed as a low chuckle escaped him.

'Hey, you big ape, come and get me!' my twin brother yelled telepathically from the living room, trying to get him away from me.

The boots thundered away as I poked my head out, seeing him chasing Tony. I carefully pulled the knife out of my mother's butchered body and ran after them, finding Tony being strangled on the floor with the man on top of him.

Without hesitation, I slashed his back, causing him to shoot up and whirl around but he quickly regretted it when I swung again with the blade, catching him in the throat. He had a deep slice from ear-to-ear with blood showering down on me, shock plastered on his face as he crumbled to the ground. He made small gurgling sounds as I stared at the body until Tony stood up, holding his red neck with bruises forming on the skin.

'Maybe we can shock mom back to life' he told me telepathically.

I nodded and threw the blade at our father, making it stick in his stomach. I took my brother's hand and ran towards our room, where our beloved mother laid dead. We stood on both of her sides and had our fingers entwined as electricity started to jump around on our hands. We placed our hands on her chest, above her breasts and shocked her before pushing down three or five times, repeating this pattern but no response.

"No…" tears blended with the blood on my face. "Mom, please come back!" I cried as I shocked her even more, pushing harder.

There was nothing in return…just a cold, crimson-covered, life-less body. I screamed in pain because if Tony wasn't using as much power as I was, the electricity would bounce back like razors and cut my hands. Finally, I pulled back with Tony holding me back, crying hard.

'It's too late, Sam, she's gone! There's nothing we can do for her!' he yelled in my head over my frantic screaming and thrashing.

Slowly, less and less, I stopped thrashing and screaming, reducing to whimpering. I felt his hand stroke my head, soothing and comforting me.

'Hush, it's going to be alright, Sammy, from here on out, we're sticking together no matter what, promise?'

"Promise" I whimpered betweens sobs.
