I sniffled, feeling snot run down my throat. I muttered curses under my breath as I watched the buildings rush by, along with tall trees that lead to Slender Mansion.

    I rested my head against the window, unable to do anything but grieve. I had lost the closest thing I had had to my family. It was strange. I hated all of the proxies, but yet I loved them at the same time.

    I choked up as I thought of Jeff. How could he? I didn't understand. It hurt worse than any other physical pain I had ever gone through.

    I didn't expect him to just walk away as if I was nothing. As if we hadn't been through anything together.

    I mean, he did try to warn me. My heart clenched. He was right, I should've listened. My mother was sitting up front, another man I didn't recognize sitting beside her.

    "C-can you at least explain everything to me?" I asked quietly, anger and sadness tightening my throat.

    "Sure hon. This is James, your.. stepdad. Your other dad unfortunately didn't agree to let you go so I just made the decision for him." she said, "The men that worked at A Life For Freedom or what used to be A.L.F made a deal with me. We could give you up and continue to live, or we all go. Your dad didn't agree so that night I took care of it and well, after that I picked myself up and soon married James."

    "Wait.. you.. you.." I gasped, realization sinking in.

    "It had to be this way, hon." she smiled, flashing her beautiful, straight pearly whites.

    "You killed him. MY FATHER!" I screamed, throwing myself at her seat. I wanted to tear her to pieces. She gave me up just for herself.

    "Hey! Hey now!" James swerved slightly on the road from the startle, his eyes shimmering with rising anger.

    "YOU KILLED HIM!" I roared, thrashing about. But there was nothing I could do. I was completely chained up.

    "If you're going to have an attitude I'm going to have to punish you, sweetie." she shook her head, making a 'tsk' sound as she reached into her scarlet red purse.

    I didn't care. I didn't care if I died or if I was tortured.

    Death seemed like a good welcome. A release from this hell.

    She pulled out what looked like a remote and twisted a knob, causing me to convulse violently. I screeched in agony, throwing my head back.

    Electricity shot up my bones and rattled my skull. It was three thousand times worse than Slender's shock when he teleported me.

    "St-stupid b*tch!" I cursed, continuing to insult her as my fury rose. She scowled, twisting the knob even farther, shaking her head once more.

    "Disgusting hybrids such as yourself deserve much worse than just a shock. Ever since A.L.F was destroyed, we had to take the vile creatures into our own hands." she growled, putting it back as she switched it off.

    I was unable to believe what was happening. I was going to kill her. I was going to murder her. I was going to rip her to shreds.

    My blood ran cold and my heart turned to stone. Anger scorched my soul and my emotions evaporated as everything around me went blank.

    That was what true insanity felt like. It felt like small termites were eating away at your bones. Like revenge and blood thirst was the only thing you ran on.

    And I liked it.
