The Puppet Master

My name is Alice Edwards. The daughter of a director and the man who saved millions. I remember that day, when my life changed. It was a cold spring day, I was on my way home. The cherry blossoms were to bloom very soon. As a child I loved that holiday, when we walked around and looked at the blossoms. Anyway, I was crossing the road, when I heard a loud scream.

Like my father, I ran to see what it was. A young girl sat in the street. She was shaking, but no one was near her. "Where are your parents?" I asked, approaching the girl. She suddenly lifted her hand, then lifted her head. Her eyes were solid black. She let out another scream, falling forward. Blood flowed from her hands, head, legs, and back.

I stared in fear, falling to my knees. "I don't need you anymore." I heard a man's voice say. I looked up to see a boy, about my age. He stared at me, his eyes a blood red. He moved toward me, smiling. "What a pretty lady. May I walk you home?"He said, offering a hand to me. I shock my head, and pointed to the girl laying on the street. He smiled and pulled me up.
