Confused

(In the Current World, Flashback Cont...)

(Her Point of View)

I opened my eyes. I'm still under water. I swim to the surface and am confronted with the same scene again, this time however I don't faint. I feel my spine is rigid. The little hairs on my skin stand on edge. A chill runs down my spine. My scalp feels numb. I need to get out of here. Just what is this place? I swim towards the opposite direction only to see a similar case. Fresh dismembered human carcasses with blood still oozing out of them. Some palpitate while others are not. Any normal person would be spooked by this. How to just wake up in the middle of fresh corpses? Yikes! I need to get out of this place, and fast. I ready myself to dash for it. I don't feel safe staying here. As I take the first step to begin my marathon: my stomach grumbles loudly, alerting me of my hunger. I felt a monstrous hunger over take me. The desire to feed was overwhelmingly strong to the point that it was painful. I felt a sharp pain on my lips. I was starting to feel dizzy from the pain and hunger. I think my blood glucose was dropping. My knees began to feel week. I could feel them shaking. Something was digging into my stomach. My vision was dimming. A pleasant fruity smell lingered in the air. I instinctively began to follow it. It was a mixture of fresh passion and berries. My favorite fruits. Just the way I like them. The edges of my vision were dim while the center of my focus was in blood red hue. I could vaguely see blotches. This scent seems to be coming from this human like figure. He must be hiding food. I turn him over but I don't see any food. My head is so clouded with this hunger that I don't notice he is dead...and then the thirst hit. This is something I have never felt before. my throat was dry and patched, painfully so. I needed anything to wet it. Breathing was painful due to how dry my throat was. I need anything. As long as it is liquid. With my vision dimming further, I tried to search for as far as my vision could let me. It was getting blurry but I still tried my best to look: Completely forgetting the water body, I just rose from. Then I saw it...it was like a water seep yet, free flowing from that which I do not know. Although it was as red as blood, I did not seem to mind. I brought my small plum lips closer to the hole, from which the juice was flowing. I opened my mouth pressed my lips to the edges of the hole so that the juice seeps right into my mouth. Ah! The taste... I can not describe it. It was heavenly... so out of this world. I want to drink more and more, so I fully enclosed my mouth and sucked like my life depended on it. With my eyes closed I savored this strange yet blissful feeling. Every fiber of my being was screaming and dancing in joy and pleasure. My toes curled, as my back arched. My nerves seemed to be overrode by some electrical current. This was the epitome of pleasure...The euphoria that no mortal has ever glimpsed. I was drunk in that feeling I couldn't stop drinking even though the thirst had long disappeared. How gluttonous could I become? Unfortunately good things don't last long. I could feel the juice reducing in amount and eventually no matter how much I sucked, no juice was available for me. I felt like crying. I've never drank anything that good. After a few seconds I recovered and stood up, only to be met by the same horrifying scene...I could hear footsteps running towards me but I couldn't be bothered. My thoughts were racing.

Did I? Just now? I drank juice in the middle of this gut wretching scene? I've gone crazy! no...There is no juice and it doesn't seem to come from the ground either. I tilt my head to see another corpse slowly bleeding out.

It then hit me like lightening. I drank human blood!!!! how? why? just what? No, this doesn't make sense. It tasted too good to be blood and it doesn't smell like blood... but the only red liquid here is blood...just what on Earth? My brain cells were too small to process just what was happening

"We are too late! these vile creatures did it again." some one cried in the background but I could not hear them.

"This is just too much, I'm going to kill them on sight" another one said with great wrath.

"Hey! Look! I think that's one of them" another screamed.

I could not hear all of them as j was trying to make sense of what was happening...but the more I thought about it. The more confused I became. I grabbed my soft lustrous long hair in a bout of frustration. I just couldn't wrap my head around what's happening to me. Who else would, if they were in my position?
