I'm not sure how many hours passed.

My vision came back to me, but it was blurry. I was going to die of blood loss if I didn't do anything.

I needed to stop Alicia, and whatever she had planned. I knew it wouldn't end good.

I didn't have to add Alicia on the list of people I had to retrieve from the other side.

I lean up from the ground, a shock of pain running up my waist. I couldn't feel my legs.
I use my arms to lift me from under, the desk digging further into the gashes it created. I clench my teeth, holding back my howls.
Why would she do this to me?' I shake my head, if she wanted to join my year walk this bad she should've just told me.

Almost out, I glance down at my legs. All that is left is my feet underneath, and I heard them being crushed with every movement.
I cry out.
Luckily, I slid out from the wetness of my blood.
Unluckily, as soon as I try to squat up, I notice a raw gash on both of my thighs, luckily it seemed to miss my artery.
I use the coat rack as I crutch and push myself, with all my damned might, to the old, ugly couch.
I rip that same green scarf I wore this morning, so it's enough bandage to stop the bleeding from both wounds and I sit there.

I didn't care anymore. I'm okay, I'm alive. Hell, the girl who tried to kill me left to go to her death sentence.

Who am I to try to stop her?
