My vision was blurred, tinged red. I knew this feeling, I was coming back and I braced myself for what I would find. My vision snapped into focus and I realized that I was kneeling beside a girl. Her stomach was torn open and there was blood everywhere. Some of her ribs were broken and her guts and organs were spilling out that side. She had bites all over her body and even some on her organs, predominantly her liver and heart, and there was blood on my hands. Literally.
I heard the rapid footfalls of many people running toward us and I immediately turned and ran. I knew that if they found me I'd be in trouble.
I heard the sounds of pursuit as I ran through the alleys.
I ran through the twisting back allies trying to escape my pursuit. They never gained any ground on me, but I didn't get any further away from them. I still continued to run until I found my self cornered between my pursuers and walls.
Desperately I glanced around for anything that could help when I spied a windowsill. I sprang up, grabbed hold of the sill and vaulted myself onto the roof. I landed in a crouch and immediately dashed away.
I hoped I was free from my pursuers, but I had to make sure. I swung threw a window, luckily for me, I landed in a clothes shop. I grabbed an outfit and umbrella and changed. 15 minutes later I walked out of the shop with my hair in a bun, wearing a Japanese style dress with a paper umbrella as an accessory.
