They were coming.  For you.

You panic.  But wait...  What was this feeling?  Like a longing for...  Blood? 

No...  it can't be...  Blood Lust?  But why?  I'm the innocent one here.  Oh no...   They're coming. Wait they stopped by...  The body?  Is it still alive?  Did it see me?  What is that sound?  Crying? What is happening?  Hold on...  Why is everything red?

She could see better, but why is the light red?  Did they turn on a heat lamp?  Actually... you feel stronger.  Like you could strangle an angry bull if needed.  You feel angry, too.  So horribly angry.  You need revenge.  You need them to feel just like you did before you died. 

I'm dead?

Yes.  You are dead.

Oh...  That's...  Too bad...

What are they saying?  "Help?"  What does that mean?  Help...  it sounds...  Weak.  It made you even angrier.  You feel the need for something shiny...  that fits well in your hand...  like it was made for you...  and...  Sharp.  Really, really sharp. 

Something calls out to you.  You didn't even know it was there.  Was it hidden?  No, because when you look at it you are able to see a dull gleam of light shining off it. 

You tell yourself you shouldn't take the knife.  You try and try to convince yourself that you would be spotted if you tried to get the knife.  But you feel as though you need the comfort of the blade in your hand. 

Soon enough the blade was in your hand.  You didn't even remember moving.  Did you get a hold of a different knife?  No...  The glint from before was gone...  So this is the rusty knife that was gleaming over in the corner.

Except it wasn't rust.  It was dried blood.  Blood so caked on you didn't think you could ever get it off.  You would never be able to, either, for as soon as you registered what it was, everything went black.

Ok this part sucks so maybe I will need to rewrite it at some point BUT it stays as an "exhibit of my history writing" or something sappy like that.
