== Write a headline here ==
Alice Penmark is the main antagonist in the horror comic book, "THE BAD SEED." She is a murderous, sociopathic 6-year old girl who kills her classmate because he won a medal that she wanted for herself.
She is the only daughter of her widowed father, Daniel Penmark who raises her in a loving home after her mother, Rhoda Penmark, dies in a mental institution for psychopaths. Nevertheless, by the age of six, Alice is a full -blown psychopath and a murderer and kills an elderly neighbor and her father's dog. She manages to hide her secret however, and no one suspects her of killing the dog and the neighbor. When her classmate Mark Klaus wins a medal that she wanted, she kills him and takes the medal. Although he suspects that his daughter is not normal, he dismisses the idea of her killing her classmate. Alice herself is not troubled by Mark's death and carrying on as nothing happened. Meanwhile, Daniel is trying to get over the death of Rhoda. His sister, Amy Penmark, helps him get over the death of Rhoda but she suspects that Alice has inherited the same psychopathic personality as Rhoda and had killed Mark. However, she doesn't tell Daniel of her fears and only tells him that she suspects that Rhoda was a psychopathic murderer as a child and had died in the electric chair. Daniel doesn't believe this and tells her that Rhoda just had a mind just like a child and that's what got her in the electric chair. However, Daniel gets suspicious when Alice is indifferent about Mark's death and he asks her if she was with Mark on the pear. Alice denies any wrongdoing but by the time Daniel discovers Alice's bloody tap shoes, Alice nonchalantly admits to murdering Mark as well her neighbor and the dog. Daniel is horrified by what Alice had done and tells Amy about what Alice just confessed to him. Amy then tells him to kill Alice to stop her from killing again. Daniel protests and starts crying and tells Amy that he loves Alice and that she's too little to die. Amy comforts him and tells him to do it. Daniel sighs sadly and says he will do it. Daniel goes to Alice's room and sings Alice to sleep and says goodnight and sadly tells her that he is sorry but he has to do this to her. Without another word, he prepares to shoot Alice with his gun. However, Alice wakes up and upon seeing Daniel with the gun, she screams and tries to get out of her room, as Daniel tries to comfort her by saying: "Calm down, just calm down, this won't hurt !" Alice then grabs a knife and stabs him in the stomach with it. Daniel gasps and starts coughing and then weakly says, "I'm sorry", before shooting a screaming and crying Alice and he collapses. Meanwhile, Amy hears the gunshot and finds Daniel and Alice and takes them both to the hospital. Daniel survives but has to stay in the hospital for a few weeks to recover. Two days later, Amy visits Daniel at the hospital and tells him that the nurse told her that Alice died. She also tells him that Rhoda died in the electric chair at the mental institution. Daniel coughs and tells her, "It's okay...I never should've married Rhoda, but everything will be okay." Amy smiles sadly and hugs him while Daniel hugs her back. A few weeks later, Amy is taking care of her 12 year old daughter Emily and another child who is about to get adopted when suddenly the doorbell rings. Amy answers it and Daniel walks in, hugging her. Amy smiles and hugs him too. Emily joins in as well. Then they all drive to a restaurant to eat. While they eat, Amy and Daniel look at the horizon from the window and smile, knowing that the evil is finally over and they can move on with their lives.
