Breathing.Heavy breathing.The pain was too much. It was breaking her. "Help",was all she could get out. But to no avail for it was just a mere whisper. She felt herself fall apart, she knew that there was nothing that could save her, she was a menace and hated by all, she was a torture. She tried. Tried so hard to get these thoughts away from her. She couldn't take it anymore, it was bound to kill her. The blood that trickled down her arm, the blood that was all around her,it was too much.To say it was painful would be an understatement. "No,this isn't blood." She tried to convince herself, but it burned so bad. It penetrated through her skin like acid, it spoiled her flesh and melted her bones. It was a torture to even look at. But these red fluids that poured down her arm wasn't hers, they didn't even belong to her body. They were the fluids of those innocent beings that did nothing wrong. Nothing evil. Nothing harmful. Nothing at all. But yet they lay lifeless in front her with a blade sliced through them. And all she could do was watch them vanish from this world...All she could do was watch an innocent soul, that she shamelessly took the life of......Elevate to the heavens where all the others wait for her demise to enter hell.

~ AVAILABLE ON AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/164434193X ~ She hated riding the subway. It was cramped, smelled, and the seats were extremely uncomfortable to sit on for hours on end. Now add a group of crazy mask-wearing, weapon-wielding, maniacs to the ever growing list of reasons why Gemma hated riding the subway. Gemma Conners is your average eighteen year old and for the past two years she's been riding the subway to and from school with no problem. She always expected the same ol' same ol'. Cramped spaces, hard seats, and perverts staring her up and down and "accidentally" bumping into her and blaming it on the train as it jostled people into one another. Never did she expect a group of masked men to rush in and hold everyone onboard hostage, demanding that they all play along with their sick and twisted idea of a "game". It was either that or die. To add on to her ever growing list of problems, one of the passengers onboard just so happens to be Archer Daniels, your typical high school "heartthrob" and Gemma's classmate. Her day just kept getting better and better. With Gemma's luck, she'd be lucky if she lasted five minutes. Yep. She really hated the subway. *Book Cover Credit: Irah Marie* Thanks again for making such an AMAZING cover!❤️
