OPEN STARTER
It wasn’t supposed to go this far. A shrill screech escaped the the young boy, as serrated teeth tear through his flesh like it was nothing. Ursula held her breath as her throat clenched in response to seeing a red rose blooming around the blade buried in his side. Watching as tears built in the boy’s eyes, Ursula felt her lips peel back into a feral snarl as she struck him repeatedly.
Screams tore through both of them: his were of fear while hers erupted from a place of terrible fury. Ursula didn’t even know if it was him that she was angry toward but she couldn’t even bring herself to think about it. Her young mind could not be bothered with such a level of introspection, he had the misfortune of being the one to push her too far and now he must pay the price of being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
He started to become too heavy for her to hold up and as his body slumped against the ground she fell with him. His blood seeped into the fabric of her shirt when she fell on top of him and she could feel eyes burning into the back of her skull. Her head snapped to look at the doorway, her viper green eyes settling on a silhouette.
“I-…he-” the child stuttered as she gestured vaguely, the realization of what just occurred starting to sink in. Tears carved paths in the layer of dirt and grime that covered her face. The first kill was always the hardest, she was a cub that had just tasted blood for the first time and she could only sputter as furious tears continued streaming down her face, “I fucking hate you!”
