Nikkolas In Wonderland Part 2

She spat "Y... You invited me here, d... Don't you remember that?" She laughed, "Who told you that?" She scoffed. All of a sudden a familiar voice spoke up, "I did." My eyes widen, as I hung my head in shame choking on fear. "Dad?" I said weakly "You have no business calling me that!" He growled "And what is a more befitting death of a daughter that thinks she's a man than to die at the hands of HER stepmother and her biological father?" He said smugly. "Y... You brought me here to k...kill me?" I said fearfully. "Why didn't you just send someone after me, you coward.. " I said coldly "Because I wanted to watch you die. " He said smirking. "Off with her head!" They cried out. Two guards took me by the arms, And drug me forcefully to the courtyard. As I lie here, With my head on the chopping block, I wonder what I ever done so wrong. Suddenly a flash of orange and red flooded the skies, And embers passed me by. A roar filled the air around me, The executioner falling to the ground before me, Bloody and conciouslessly. I got up and started to run, Run like I never ran before. But alas, Another flash of orange and red, And with a burst of flame through my chest. I fall to my knees, Gasping for breath. I see a bright white light, The ringing in my ears was so intense, And so loud. As I uttered out my final words, "I'm sorry I wasn't the perfect daughter.. " I shuttered as my body went cold and numb, And everything went black around me, Slowly as the ringing in my ears became an all too familiar sound of the Of a flat line  on a heart monitor, In an empty and vacant hospital room.
