Alice's POV:
It all happened in slow motion, the waiter fell silently threw the air as heads turned to watch him. He hit the floor with an awful thud. The silver platter spun violently through the air dousing Mary in spaghetti sauce. My mind fogged over and I couldn't think straight. The temperature in the room dropped at least twenty degrees. My body wavered under the fear that clutched my heart and I began to dry heave until my body collapsed in the chair.
The world was a blinding white light before my eyes. My nerves completely demolished me. I couldn't see, but I could hear. The voice screamed in blood curdling anguish for god to save her. It took me a second to realize what was happening, I was no longer waiting alone in the presence of trepidation. Mary was dying. Her body could only be feet from myself. The thought sent another dry heave rocketing through my body. It all began to speed up. Everything happened so fast I couldn't keep up.
"You!" the loathing of my father cry slammed me back to the scene that was playing out before me. My heart jumped and hostility devoured me. "You! Killed! Her!" each of his words was their own sentence. His words tore at the wounds he had inflicted on me over the years. I had had enough of him, of hate, and of fear. It would all be the end of me someday.
Blinded by the disgust I felt toward him, I ran. I didn't know what else to do, it was an involuntary reaction. I ran away from all my problems, my feet pounding the polished floor. I skidded around a corner and blew through the door. Footsteps and angry cries fallowed me. They were fast but I was faster.
The last thing I heard before I was free from them was my name mixed with the devils. They had no explanation for what had happened so they blamed it on me in the devil's name. Their hate bore into me even as I ran down the empty streets.
The cold air outside burned my throat and lungs making me scream out in frustration and pain. The pain made me run harder not wanting to give in, to feel weak. The cold air brought me back to my senses that had been numbed by pain. I had never been so close to death before and it terrified me. The darkness was a screen across my vision preventing me to see where I was going. I tried to avoid any alleys but in the starless night I couldn't tell where I was much less what was an alley and what wasn't. I prayed my vision wouldn't come true, that I could make some decision that would change it. My mind pulled up images of creature of the night vampires and werewolves. Stories that had been told to me as I child took advantage of my vulnerability.
It all came down on me at once, in a cold, hard blow. The pain, hate, and fear broke me apart, as I had never felt before. I feel hard on the ground to tired to run anymore. The overwhelming wave of energy that had brought me hear fade instantly leaving me feeling hallow and helpless. I had fallen hard and blood now trickled down my sides. I could feel that something had been drive into my side, sending fireworks of torment through my head.
The world went white and I knew I must be dieing. I couldn't fight anymore; I couldn't bring myself to stay awake. If I could just keep my eyes opened I would live, but why would I want to? I was tired of living; the world was full of suffering. I had had my fair share of discomfort and I was ready for it all to end. I heaved one last time, then closed my eyes and waited for the burning flames of hell to wake me as darkness crushed me.
