It wasn't his fault. The deaths, they just ... happened.
"Shut up and bleed, you -"
"Hello? Alice, are you there?"
Okay, maybe the deaths were his fault, but he had better things to do right now. Right now the body of a young woman who just died laid strewn on the ground, stripped of her skin. Some of her muscle had been chewed off and various bones had been broken. Right now her eyes stared blankly up into the sky, a haunting image to anyone who looked at it.
Except for him.
"Alice?"
Cursing, Andrue turned and ran out of the alley, pushing a man with a lantern out of the way. It was the one who was calling Alice's name. It took awhile for the man to realize the figure on the ground was Alice before he yelled out in anguish. The boy continued to run, his feet pounding on the asphalt as his heart raced. What just happened to him? Why had he done something so ... barbaric? He couldn't face Eve Siren now, the woman who took him in under her wing. And Syren would just stare at him with those empty eyes, making him feel worse. No, he couldn't - wouldn't!
You can't run forever, whispered a voice in the back of his head, causing him to run faster. Maybe he couldn't forever, but for now he would.
