I sit on the floor holding my now healed leg.
The hell hounds circle me,growling,clawing,
snarling.
  One of them lunge at me,I lay down flat in a heated panic,I can feel the claws slicing at me.
  One of the hounds scratches my arm, long strips of indigo flows from the wound.

  "GAAAAAH!!!" I scream, as the flesh on my skin is torn into like a knife slicing butter.

I'm not sure what happened after that, all I saw was darkness.
I hear whimpers and splatters of something wet and gooey hit the walls and floor.
  When I finally came to reality, my vision was blurry. I hear excited dancing footsteps coming towards me then stops.

"That's my girl you did VWONDERFUL my sweet!" A  German accent says.

  Even though I can hear the voice, it's as if the voice is far away,but close at the same time.
Without thinking. I reach my hand out to the stranger, as if I was a baby reaching for its mother.
   My vision became clear. I looked around and saw nothing but blood of two colors. Red and indigo.
  I look in front of me to see a man smiling a wide and crazy eyed smile at me.
I hurried and backed away from the crazy eyed man. The man came closer to me, but more calm and complex this time. He reached his hand out to me as if expecting me to take it.

   "I ca-can stand o-on my own." I say in a tiny timid voice.

The man looked disappointed, but dismissed it at once. He watched me as I got up and stood straight with blood dripping off me from head to toe. He smiles and jumps up and down,as if it's his birthday,and he had gotten the best present ever.

  "I'M ZO PROUD OV YOU!!"

"What did I do?" I finally look at myself. My face is over come with terror. All I see is blood all over me.
  "You should look around you dear, you're not the only one covered in blood."

  I did as the man tells me to. I almost lost whatever was in my stomach,which wasn't much. But what I saw would make me lose even that. The hell hounds, they were so disfigured and mangled it was as if a bigger more dangerous monster killed them.
  They're intestines hanging from there bodies, big dog heads scattered about the floor, red and indigo blood running everywhere but eventually pooling around me. Dog legs scattered across the now Violet red colored floor.

  This one particular hell hound, was torn in two. Just what happened to these creatures, I now felt sorry for them. Even though they were trying to kill me, they didn't deserve this to happen to them.
 
   "Who did, no more like what did this to them?"
  The man looks at me confused, but smiles that childish smile again.

   "You did this my dear, you did all ov this, and I'm zo proud ov you!"

  I stare at him in disbelief.
   <"There's no way I did this, no not anything like this, I couldn't have.">

  "Come,come. Vwe mast get you cleaned and ready vor dinner hmm.?"

  He takes my hand and leads me to a very huge bathroom, with a huge indigo square tub, and smoking hot water. It seemed inviting but, the tub was the color of my blood that horrible,yet beautiful indigo. The man starts to walk out the bathroom but turns around still smiling.
  "I'll leave you to the maids now, I'm zo proud ov you, my leetle project."

The man walks out and closes the door with a click behind him. A woman I suppose is one of the maids based on her outfit, walks towards me and strips me of my bloody clothes. I hesitate to let her, but I soon relax. The woman leads me to the huge square bathtub, and I sink in.
  All the blood just came rushing off of me and became one with the once sky blue water. I was all relaxed until the maid from before started washing me. 
  I didn't mind until she reached a spot I became uncomfortable with. Before I knew it, I raised my hand up and slapped the maid.
She flew to the next wall with a crunch. She slid down the wall with blood following her.

  I widen my eyes in fear, the other maid cowers away from me in the corner behind her. Her back toward me with her legs pulled up to her chest.

  "Please don't hurt me, please don't hurt me." She repeated over and over again.
I decided to step out of the tub and comfort her. I wrapped my wet arms around her frame and hugged her as tight as I could without hurting her.
 
  She was shaking like a leaf on a tree. I was almost afraid to hug her for if I did, I might've crushed her right then and there. The maid screamed,  and tried to get away from me, sinking further into the wall as she could.
I still hugged her, shushing her, and gently rubbing her head almost not touching it in fear I would crack her skull if I did.

  "Shhhhh." I said in a calm and sweet voice. "It's okay, I won't hurt like I did her, I promise."

The maid still fought, but less this time to weak and tired to fight against me.
  She just stopped all together, but I could still hear soft whimpers from her. When she finally stops whimpering and falls asleep, I dry off and dress myself. I walk out the bathroom, but had no idea where to go. With one maid now dead, and the other sleeping, I had no one to show me to the dinning room.

  Then something happened. My eyes became slits, and I could hear and smell everything in this building. I could hear workers chatting and laughing,smell the food cooking, hear a pin drop on the floor, and a woman curse.
And then I smell the man from before,down the hall, left, then right,then left again, then straight. I follow the directions of the smell. I start to walk but then, in a blur, I was in the dining room watching everyone eat.

I saw unfamiliar people sitting at the table with the German man from before.
A maid sits me down beside him, and brings me my dinner. Most people had salads, or pasta. Me I had an large oval plate filled with varsities of meats. My mouth starts to water from the smell of it.
Everyone looks at me as if expecting me to dig in. And before I knew it, I was.

  "Ahh,I see your very hungry hm?"

I didn't answer the man, and the others start to giggle at me, I didn't care though. This was meat, very good meats might I add, and I wasn't letting it go to waste.
A woman beside me touches my cheek and I let out a dangerously deep low growl as if I was one of those hell hounds from earlier, and she jerks back.

  "Quite the eater isn't she Vincent?" The woman says nervously.

  "Yes id say she is. "

  Everyone laughed and finishes they're meals. I finish before them and let out a huge burp. They all laugh at me again I didn't mind though. They all started chatting again. I think one of them ask me a question, but by that time, I wasn't listening.

  {"Yuoshoka"} A voice whispers to me, I look around but didn't see anyone. The room that was once filled with laughing and chatty people was now dark and void.
