This is short, but there will be another one out shortly!

Sweat dripped down my face. My heart stopped.

The girl giggling was not Alice, but I'd known her face from around the campus. Her neck was ruined with a set of bite marks, and oozed easily with blood. She seemed happy to do it - whatever it was - but slightly delusional in a sense.

She couldn't see what I could.

In a moment, a red pair of eyes flickered to me, almost matching the redness of her hair, though her eyes were filled with fury that I'd interrupted her session of - what?

A snarl ripped from her perfect lips and she dropped the girl who was, as I now saw, was being held over the couch. She flopped onto it, looking at me with a big cheesy grin, as if she was being trampled by a puppy. But this was not a kodiak moment.

The woman snarled again, a smile glistening in her eye as she moved, slowly as if not to startle me, towards me. I backed away in response, but the door I'd just entered collided with my back.

As I stared into the eyes of the woman, the agonizing screams of the girl errupted from the couch. She clawed at her throat where the bites were.

"Put it out!" she screamed, thrashing against the couch. "Put it out!"

In this distraction, the woman took her chance and closed the distance between us. She placed a slender, but strong, hand on my neck and stroked.

"Get off me," I breathed, too frightened to do anything else. I tried not too look into her eyes, afraid of knowing exactly what she was doing to me. Instead, I looked towards the girl, who looked a bit similar too Alice.

Alice.

"What have you done to her?!" I said more forcefully, trying to gain distance between our bodies by shoving her face with my hands, to no advail. "Where's Alice?!"

The woman smiled at my efforts, but after a moment, straightened, as if she was sniffing the air. The door slammed against my back at that point, sending shards of wood into my spine, and inevitably knocking the woman and I too the floor.

The woman released her iron grip enough for me to roll over in agony, and I was conscious enough to witness the face of Alice staring at me in horror.

Oh Alice. . Run! A voice cried from inside me.

All I wanted was a shower.
