I was in a daze, shivering while siting on the floor. "Where am I?" the 1st question that popped in my head. I looked at my hands.
I was holding a knife on the right and a towel on the left, stained with blood. "Why am I crying?" I asked myself. "How am I in this situation?" A 35 year old woman living alone with her 10 year old daughter.
I looked up in front of me,, A body of a man, lying, multiple stabs on his body including to his neck. "Oh right I stabbed him", why am I so calm? I asked myself.
I remembered he was trying to rape my daughter, Oh yeah my daughter! "Where is she?"
MADELINE!! MADELINE!! I screamed, my voice echoed through the empty cabin. I looked out the window, all I could see was trees and the darkness. The only light that was illuminating was from the stars and moon. I rushed outside still screaming my daughters name "MADELINE, MADELIN!".
Then slowly my memories came back "I remember we came here for a vacation just the two of us, we flew on a 2hour flight just to be here, yes, and with that guy, his name was.. Eric,.. yeah now I remember".
I went around the cabin and on a tree stump I saw my daughter siting, she was wearing a white dress, holding her favorite teddy bear, Mr. Snuggie. She was crying, then she looked at me with a broken hearted face.
I dropped the knife and the towel, ran to her and hugged her tight.
"Thank god MADI!" I blurted out.
Madeline, said while hugging me tight, "I was soo scared mommy". Tears ran down my face and hugged her even tightly. Mixed feelings came to me. I was so relieved that my daughter is okay.
Then she asked me "did you kill him mommy?", I replied in a crying manner "yes, sweetie mommy killed the bad man". Then Madeline suddenly replied.
"Are you sure?"
I was confused by her question and just answered
Me: "Why yes sweetie, I think so, the big bad man won't hurt you anymore"
Madeline: "Will you stab him more for me mommy?"
I suddenly pulled out from the hug and looked at my daughter's face still holding her shoulders.
She had a very straight face the type you would know there are no second thoughts.
I was scared but just replied shakily "Why yes, sure sweetie, mommy will make sure the bad guy gets what he deserves".
I picked up the knife and went to the body again, lying there with his eyes wide open covered with blood, stabs on his neck, thighs, chest, stomach.
When I was looking at him I felt more anger, thinking what she was going to do with my daughter. I became enraged.
I knelt down, gripped the knife with both of my hands and raised it up. And then thrusted the knife deep into his chest as hard as I can, I raised it up again, and repeated on stabbing him until my arms couldn't.
I was crying, because I remembered Eric.
Eric was a sweet guy, he always took care of me but he would always ignore Madeline. I never thought that he would even try to attempt to rape my daughter.
Then I saw my daughter just watching me, she smiled, and I felt relieved, so I also smiled. Yes I was happy.
Evil works mysteriously. You never know what darkness lies within a person, Eric was no exception. I thought he was really trying to help us, because genuinely I felt his kindness. But I guess I was blinded. Blinded on the evil he has lurking that was disguised by his sweet actions. I guess I'm just unlucky. Because Eric was the 4th guy who tried to rape my daughter and each time it has the same ending. So I am still happy. As long as I have my daughter and will keep protecting her from evil.

Author: Hi guys! Yes, sorry I know that this is totally different from my usual posts, but I was thinking I could share some short reads for you guys, just for the F of reading lol. I fairly hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for reading! ^^
Such an intriguing story!
I didn't know you are so talented in short stories.
I learned another thing about you. 😅Hey @cookieinjapan!
By the way, as I have mentioned before, it would be a good idea to add your post in a community. For this one, maybe The Ink Well community is a great choice.
Thank you witz! Yeah, I used to write a bunch of stuff all the time.
When I was in high school I just write the things that I can't say, rather than being passive-aggressive the whole day. lol Thank you. Got it! I will try. So I just copy and paste it on the community?
Writing is so good!
High school is so long time ago. 😂
You still have it in you!
You can cross post if you have already posted it.
If you copy and paste and publish again, it may be tagged as bad behavior on chain.
But then again, make sure to check if the community allows cross posting.
Ah, I checked the community rules of The Ink Well and it says
That's too bad. 😑
I found a similar community called Scholar and Scribe but please follow their rules so you won't be muted by the community.
Anyways, maybe you can find some other communities that fit your content by checking it in the Communities tab: https://peakd.com/communities
Yup Got it! Learned something new today! Thanks Witz!

Oh, I'm impressed with your based true story-inspired story. You have so much potential in writing a fiction story. As miss wittyzell said, you can join InkWell community. They have an ongoing contest this week. It's weekly btw.
