Aaaaaaand, I'm back! Damn, I missed you guys!

---

Blood on the floor

Stains the walls.

Bodies scattered around

Twisted

Mutilated

Worse then dead.

---

She walks among them

High-heeled feet stepping

Over corpses.

Daintily lifting her dress

Out of the blood.

---

Her eyes search the dark

Looking.

Seeking.

---

Finding.

---

The girl

Sitting on the floor

Blood on her white sundress.

Head in her hands.

Black hair stained

Red.

---

She approaches

One hand lifts

Gently rests on the girl's shoulder.

Kneels down beside her.

Wraps her arms around her.

---

The girl starts

Chokes

Sobs.

Crying into Her dress.

---

She whispers

"Shhh...

There there.

It's alright.

It'll be alright."

---

The girl hiccups.

Trembling.

"Please, Momma.

I-I wanna go home."

---

"I know, darling.

I know."

She takes the girl's hand.

Lift's her to her feet.

Retraces Her steps.

Toward the door.

---

The girl follows

Eyes down.

Little fists clenched.

Lip trembling.

---

As they leave

Back to the dark night

Ignorent of their danger.

The girl's lips part

A breath of damp air.

---

"I-I didn't mean to.

It w-was an accident.

I'm s-sorry."

---

And She strokes the girl's hair.

Eyes cold.

Lips upturned.

No remorse.

Just and ideas.

---

Apsently, she whispers,

"It's okay.

It won't happen again.

Probably."

---

What I was listening to while I wrote this. Which is proof that I'm slightly messed up... 😘
