Chapter 4: Red Room
Karma opened her eyes, breathing hard from her nightmare. She stepped out of bed and slipped soundlessly out of her room. Walking down the stairs for a drink of cold water as quiet as she could. Karma opened the kitchen door and the first thing she saw was the colour red.
So much red, as if someone had opened a tin of paint and had thrown it over the kitchen walls and floor. Karma's eyes were adjusting to the colour, her mind was trying to take in the whole picture, so much blood.
Karma stepped further into the kitchen, crimson rivers flowing over the floor. Karma gritted her teeth and walked on, tears rolling silently down her cheeks, she looked behind the counter, nothing there.
Then Karma felt something drip onto her hand, she looked down and there was a red droplet, she put her thumb on it and smudged it, surely enough it was blood. But why is it coming from the ceiling? Karma thought, then dreading at what she would see, she looked up, it took 10 whole seconds for her mind to process it, to take in what was wrong, and then Karma screamed.
For Star, Mary-Lynnette and Ash were hanging from the ceiling, their eyes had been gouged out, their hands chopped off, their throats slit and their hearts ripped out. Their bodies were slit that their bodies looked like rag dolls that needed to be stitched back up. Karma lost her balance and fell to the floor in the crimson mess, she screamed more, her eyes closing, the picture of the kitchen not going away, her tears kept rolling down her cheeks, nothing could bring her family back, then Karma fainted.
********************************
Ayngel bolted through the forest smiling madly, how glad she was to get rid of those Daybreakers. She replayed the memory in her mind as if it were a video...
"No please. Please Ayngel don't, Ayngel we can help you, please." The man had begged, a vampire, a damned Daybreaker, she had taken care of him though, slit his throat. Then the human, how sweet she had tasted, Ayngel could still taste the blood now, rich and sweet. Raven had to almost pry her of the human.
Raven had taken care of the small girl, but all the while, there was something nagging at the back of Ayngel's mind, all the way through the begging, the screming, the crying, but Ayngel couldn't concentrate, what was it? What did her mind want to tell her.
Ayngel lost concentration of where she was going, her foot got stuck in a ditch and she fell. Her head smacked a trunk of a tree and she slumped, unconscious.
