It Began

The pain was overwhelming.
I could no longer remember what was happening or how I came to be in this position.
Nothing made sense to me.
My body was fighting to stay alive, fighting to stop the pain, while the pain was all consuming.
I had no idea how long I'd been lying here but it felt like centuries and every now and then I'd black out. Was I slipping away? Dying? No, it would hit me again like a steam train and I'd feel my whole body shake, twisting and turning but frozen solid.
Nothing was real, only pain.
Sudden Voices.
Screaming.
Glass smashing.
Foot steps everywhere.
Until I was pulled back into my pit of agony.
Tossing and turning inside my head and then.. The pain was gone.
For a moment I was numb and that was all I could perceive.
A moment later something took hold of me like it was trying to get out, it washed over me like a wave starting with my head and finishing at my toes.
My body tingled and my teeth wanted to chomp.
This was a feeling I could not remember.
My eyes opened.
I barely had time to adjust before I chomped down on the man sprawled over me crying “My darling Alice”, was Alice my name?
A sort of frenzy took over and soon he was lying on the floor in agony where I had been.
With the urge still there, I found my feet and had hooked into the next girl who ran past.
My eyes struggled to adjust
The night continued on like this for what seemed like a life time. Till there was no one left.

My eyes still adjusting could see plastic chairs upside down, on their sides, several tables turned, paper and books everywhere and windows on either side of me smashed. Where was I? I could see writing on a board that I could make out. Was I at a school?
Where ever I was I had to move.
This mess could not stay unnoticed and I had to find help.

I heard some voices in the next room so went as fast as my feet would carry me to get help.
It was a big hall way and when the two young men saw me one yelled to the other “kill it” they charged at me and soon they were flat on the floor..
Kill it? What did they see?
What was I? And was there more like me?
I knew that I had to keep quiet enough to avoid discovery. At least until I knew the answers to these questions.
