Painted Blood

Disclaimer: Victorious will never be owned by me.

Each dip into the black paint is a short one. I spread it across each fingernail between each pause. "Jade, jade!" a high scream is heard in the distance so I stop. But nothing else is coming to my ear. My bare feet touch the ground and each footstep is as quiet as I make it. Down each stair a tiny squeak is ringing in only my ears. "Jade" more like a whisper is calling my name now but I can still hear the shivering fear in the voice. I don't reply I just let myself reach the bottom of the stairs before looking around.

The same voice giggles with a high pitch, this person must be a girl, and she sound familiar to me now. The dimming lights completely shut off I try to see as I trip over my own feet. I walk farther towards the sound of her laughing with my hand trying to grasp the wall for some support to lead me. The rough surface of the wall scratches beneath my palm as I keep walking. A cold finger taps on my bare shoulder causing me to yank around.

The lights flash back on and I only see her red hair before I feel a sharp in me. My hand falls from the wall to clutch at my stomach and I fall to the hard ground. Red covers my hand and over my black fingertips. "Jade" her voice still calling I slowly look up and see her dark brown eyes, and her nails red with a red blade in her hand. "Cat" I gasp out "help me" I plead, clutching harder at my stomach.

She just smiles and drops the knife from her grip. It lands beside me with my blood spilt on it. "You know Jade I also love painting nails. You should have joined me." My nails close with my blood staining my nails.
