"ASTRID!!!" I scream. I drop down onto the ground next to her, and my immediate response is to check her pulse. I did take a medical class, after all. Astrid coughs, and a sticky red liquid pours out of her mouth. Oh gosh no, I think. My heart rate speeds up, and I feel lightheaded. I shiver, and mutter, "Wow it got really cold." I lean forward to take my coat and wipe my hands on my pants, when Astrid's bright blue eyes fly open. But... they're not blue anymore... They're a deep black abyss of nothingness.
"Angela." She says in a rough, scratchy voice. "You need to..." Astrid coughs again, and more blood spills out. "You need to get out of here," She warns in her normal voice. Her hand flies up, and tries to grab my arm. Her fingernails scratch my skin, but I back away just in time. "NOW!" She tells me. Her voice changes again, "Angela. You must kill Astrid." Then she grins wickedly. Her eyes flicker back to their normal blue. "Angela! Run! Now!" So, I run. I turn my head, and see an evilly-grinning, racing Astrid with voidless eyes chasing after me. I face forwards, and sprint away from her. Away from Astrid. Away from my best friend, who is now possessed.
"Oh Astrid," I mutter. Then I grin and say, "You think you can catch me? That's cute."
