Blood

I twirl the blade in my fingers. The scarlet blood drips onto my hands
and I smile uncontrollably. The ‘princess’ is finally dead. This girl
who thought she could control me, control all of us is dead. The blade
stills as I hear her parents open the front door. In a flash I am at the
window I used to get in. Once I’m out I look at her body one last time.
And I’m sickened to see she still looks as good as she did in life. Her
arms look artfully broken and her blond hair has been dyed by her
blood. The only thing I’m proud of is her face. Once beautiful it is now
covered with scars. But even they could be considered a pretty feature.
Her mouth is frowning in the pain I just inflicted and the tricky light
has finally left her eyes. As I walk away I hear her mother shriek and
her father call after her.

Intense opener. No words wasted and we instntly know we are dealing with a strong force.
