Her heels echoed down the corridor, fading as she entered a office. A sheet of paper lay on her desk, marked with a message written in blood. She picked it up. As her eyes scanned the words, her pupils dilates while her heart sank. A message was written on the paper in in dark red,
Colour drained from her face, leaving her pale like a winter corpse as she read the letter. Her hands trembled, and the paper slipped from her grasp, fluttering to the floor.
She looked around,
fear written all over her face.
Her body shook violently, like a broken engine struggling to stay alive, as cold tears dropped freely.
Suddenly, the closed door creaked open. She ran to hide behind it, but a gloved hand reached around and yanked her out. She hit the floor, screaming and fighting, but then…
Thud
Silence.
A splash.
Blood.
The gloved hand reached down, gently shut her eyes, and gave her head one final pat…
Then it vanished into the dark.
