Prove Me Wrong
Prologue
Blood. That was all she could see when she finally opened her eyes. The scent of it filled her nose and hung in the humid air making it difficult to breathe. A dull ache pounded furiously at the side of her head. She glanced around nervously, it was everywhere. The walls were smeared with it and the and carpet forever stained. One distinct line caught her eye, a trail that led down the hall. Slowly she rose to her feet but found her self staggering as she tried to gain balance.
When she rendered herself stable enough to walk she edged down the hall, past the bathroom, and into the bedroom at the end. She paused just outside the half open door, bloody hands had obviously struggled to get it that far. She fought with herself, did she really want to know what lay inside? Finally she gave the door a nudge and watched as it swung open, then stepped inside. She looked around, searching the room for any possible signs of life. Fear consumed her and her throat constricted as her gaze met the slouched body of a grown man. She tip toed over to where he sat leaning against a chair for support. His back did not rise with the intake of a breath and when she felt for his pulse she found he had none. Suddenly he fell backwards and crashed to the floor. She let out a little cry of surprise and inhaled sharply when she saw a knife protruding from his chest, the blood had been his!
It took all her reserve to keep from screaming. Her eyes shot down to her clothes only to find them soaked in his blood as well. She shook her head violently, this wasn't who she was. She could never harm another human being, could she? She scrambled to her feet and raced for the door. Wait, there was no way she could go out like this! Then everyone would know. She backtracked her steps until she reached the bedroom once again. She had no other options, she had to use some of his clothes. What came next she had no idea. The police would find the body and her prints would be everywhere. She had no choice now, it was time to rebuild burnt bridges.
