Red is the Coolest Color

chapter 2: reborn

I woke up and everything was dark. my neck really hurt and i started to cry. i was on something that was hard and lumpy and smelled really bad. i lifted my arm and felt something hard and..metal. i used my arms to pus h the lid of the dumpster i was in open. i stood up and carefuly got out. the big creepy guy was gone. my neck really hurt and i touched it with my hand and I found two holes but i wasnt bleeding. I thought Did that weirdo bite me?? or was it a needle. I didnt know. i wasnt hurt anywhere else so i kept walking home but it was dark. i knew my parents would worry so i took a red and black striped scarf out of my mesanger back and wrapped it around my neck. they worry too much about my little sister angelina so i didnt want them to worry about me.

i got home and walked inside. My mom and dad and sister were all on the couch crying. Then they saw me. "adrienne where were you??" my mom asked. "im sorry mom..i stayed late at school." "why didnt you call" dad asked. "my phone died. im sorry" I said. my mom still looked sad "go upstairs because you are grounded for making us worry." I nodded quietly and went upstairs to my room. My room had big bookshelves full of books because I love reading and there were christmas lights on the walls and some posters of bands i like. I locked my door behind me. i went to my mirror and took  of my scarf and looked at my reflection in the mirror. I looked at my choppy red hair and my tanned skin and my eyes that were hazel. I looked at my neck. there were two holes in my tan skin. I touched them but they didnt hurt anymore. "huh weird" i said. I went and lay down on my white bed and fell asleep.

i woke up hours later. It was still dark outside. i was really really hungry because i missed dinner so i went downstairs and looked for something to eat. I was really quiet since i was supposed to be grounded. I went into the kitchen and looked for food. I opened the fridge and the cabinets but none of the food looked good, which was weird because i was STARVING. i looked in the freezer. the ice cream and frozen waffles looked gross, but there was a raw steak. my stomach groweld. i took the steak out and looked at it. it was in Plastic wrap and it was bloody. I unwrapped it and sniffed it. it smelled..so good. I knew i should have been grossed out but i wasnt and licked it. It was delicous. I kept licking it and biting at it until it was all gone. I was full.
