"You freak!"
A thud was heard along with the sound of glass shattering. "Stay back, darling!" a worried man exclaimed to a frightened woman, "What's wrong with her eyes? What did we do to deserve this?" she cried into her husband's chest. He grit his teeth, "We just wanted a normal child, and you did this.. why.. why would you?!" he exclaimed.
A young girl at the age of 5-6 looked up at the two adults.. sharp teeth baring in her mouth. "What did I do?" she questioned; her voice low yet in a way, emotionless. L
"Stay back, don't talk to us!" the man yelled as the woman cried.
"But I love you." the young girl claimed quietly; blood dripping from her nose and neck. Small shards of glass poked out of her neck and chest from the bottle with got shattered on her. Tears rolled down the girl's cheeks, "You love me too, right?"
"We could never love a psychopath like you!" they cried out, "Stay back, demon!" the woman sobbed and sniffled in horror at the sight of the monster they created.
The young girl held a dead house sparrow in her hands. It had bite marks deep into it, "..But, I got you a gift.. the greatest one I could find.. only the best for my mummy and daddy.." the young child innocently smiled.
The man slapped the girl around the face to the ground, "Stay back!! Come on, honey, we need to go! Who knows what she'll do next.."
"But daddy-"
"Don't you dare call me your father ever again, I will never call something like you my child!" the man spat and wrapped his arm around the woman's shoulder; them running in the opposite direction.
The young girl watched her parents walk off.. if she didn't have the right to call them her parents.. then, it wouldn't hurt to.. prove herself worthy? They didn't accept her gift.. maybe she should get another. Their hearts.. she needs to repair them! She needs to fix them to.. make them love her, "Wait up!" she called out; running after the adults. They looked back; eyes widened. They cried and continued to run, "Why us? What did we ever do?!" the woman cried out. The girl would leap up onto the man's back; latching onto his shoulders with claws that had replaced her fingers.. this child wasn't angelic at all.. but, she looked like one. What was wrong with her? She smiled and had dug said claws into his shoulders; him letting out a pained cry and falling to the floor. She smiled brightly; the man turning around. The girl stood on his legs and kneeled down. "Don't hurt me, you beast!" he cried out.
The little girl stared, "I want to be loved!" she raised her hand and dug it deep into the man's chest; grabbing onto his heart and pulling it out. The woman screamed in horror as this monster of a child held the heart of her father with her bloody hands. It was still beating in her hands. The man's head fell backwards.. dead. She held the heart in her left hand and stood up,
"Mummy, I just want you to love me.." she said; staring up at the horrified woman, "DON'T HURT ME!! I'M SORRY!" she whined and cried.
The girl would walk towards the woman; her backing up and stumbling backwards onto the floor. She watched; her expression emotionless and bland. She walked up to her mother and stood in front of her. The woman's eyes widened; shrieking and she dug her hand into her mother's chest; pulling out her beating heart. The woman dropped down dead; lifeless.
The child stood there with her father's heart in her left hand and her mother's in her right..
"I'll fix your hearts.. so you can love me."
