Caroline

"Oh no!!" I yelled again in horror while I was still sitting on the ground. I shook my head in denial of the sight before me. 

"Caroline!" Richard called from wherever he was now before running over to where I was. "What's wrong?" he asked me immediately after he saw me sitting on the ground but I gave no response which prompted him to look in the room. 

"Shit!" he also exclaimed. 

While I sobbed, I looked back at Clara's body lying lifeless on the desk with dried blood that had dripped all the way from her mouth and head down to the ground. It was all dried up now as if she died a few days ago. 

At first, I thought the smell that had hit my nose as we entered was due to poor hygiene or something but it was her, it was my friend. She was dead or she had died a day or two days ago.
