My body reacted before my mind could catch up. I was a blur again, running down the halls of the hospital trying to find somewhere to get out. I was an animal in a cage and I had to get out. My head only contained one thought; RUN.

I paused for a second to quickly scan and assess the area. I had to look for a way out.

My eyes caught something on the roof. A sign. An exit sign.

I followed the chain of signs hoping that one might actually lead me out. It seemed to go on forever. One sign would lead me to another in an endless maze. It was madness.

I finally caught sight of electronic doors of the exit and I run threw them. I'd made it; I was finally outside. I took a breath of fresh air and let the light of the sun keep me warm on the cold winter's morning. I couldn't remember the last time I'd been in sunlight; let alone seen the sun. Everything in my past had been a blur to me now. Believing in something you thought was real doesn't make it the truth.

Voices behind me caught my attention and made me become aware that I still wasn't safe yet. I had to flee. Where though?

"There she is!" someone shouted behind me.

Too late.

I ran again. I ran as fast as I could. For miles I continued to go. My legs never grew tired, I never grew weak. I had to keep going; to keep running. Even when I was sure no one would find me I continued to run. What was I running from now though? Them… or… myself?

I caught sight of a woodland area. I could hide there. Live off the land. It's not like someone could hurt me. If I could run for miles and… attack… another human without hesitation then I'm sure I could survive and spend my life in the woods.

Deep into the woods I ran. I could already feel my body take over and lead me through the endless trees via instinct. I wasn't an animal… but I sure as hell weren't human anymore. There's nothing humane about what I did to Doctor La—her.

After searching for maybe over an hour I found an old wood cabin. The smell of dust and rotting wood was intoxicating but I would have to manage as this would be my home for the remainder of my life; however long that might be for a monster like myself.

I found old dusty sheets on a creaky rusted metal bed. I don't even know if I still needed to sleep so I left the bed untouched and noticed the rest of the room. Most of it was rotting wood made furniture. One table, one chair, a few cabinets and a cupboard were all made from the same type of wood. There was also an old rug on the floor by a fire place and the random remains of what use to be a hat on the table. I had to admit that this cabin was far more then I could have hoped to find in the middle of nowhere.

I decided it was going to be a cold night so I went out to get fire wood. Within half an hour I had a fire going and I curled up beside it with I blanket. My eyes became heavy and before I knew it, I was fast asleep and dreaming of home in California.

I woke up in the morning by a growling stomach. I had slept the entire night and was still coming to terms with the events of yesterday. I had bitten, maybe killed, a human. But not just that. I'd sucked her blood. What was I? What could make me this way?

I decided to look for food. I had found a few cans of backed beans, fruits, and soups but it couldn't satisfy what I wanted at the moment. I needed meat. Maybe find a rabbit or something to catch and eat. I also needed to find water before I dehydrated.

I sneaked through the forest trying to hunt. Anything with maybe a bit of meat on it to sink my teeth into; these weird… freaky… pointy… canines of mine ached to touch flesh.

Movement to my left caught my attention and I crouched down to let my new instincts guide me. This was the hunt. It gave me a slight rush.

A rabbit ran across my vision and I ran after it in a flash. Before the rabbit could even make it five meters I had it in my hands and snapped its small neck. I could smell its blood and the same compulsion from yesterday took over. I bit its neck and sucked it dry from blood. It satisfied me but I was still hungry.

I headed back to the cabin finding two more rabbits (which I drunk dry) and a small freshwater stream that I drunk deeply from also. It seemed I needed blood, water and food to satisfy myself.

I got back to the cabin and made a small fire to cook the rabbits on. It was delicious. I finally felt full for the first time in ages.

I need to lie down so I went inside and curled up on the bed. I just laid there and thought about what my life was going to be like now; about what these new changes meant for me now.

Exhausting, I thought. Yes… life was now going to be exhausting.
