"You're. Despicable." The woman below me, whispers, shaking her bloody head as I snicker from above her, holding a gun to her head. From head to toe, the woman was covered in blood, her blonde hair a mess, her white pajamas no longer white, and her blue eyes grow darker as she stares into mine. I have already killed her husband and son, now, all I have to do is kill her.

"I know honey. I was born this way." And before she could say anything, a bullet is driven into her skull, leaving a sizzling hole in the center of her forehead.

"Mommy...?" I hear a small squeak tower over the silence. Turning around, my eyes meet a little girl's. She looked innocent and unaware of what was happening. I can feel my anger wash away as the little girl runs up to me, handing me her pink bunny, and hugging my leg tightly.

Out of shock, I drop my gun, causing it to go off, and bullet whizzes past the girl's head. I hear her scream and I notice that, right next to her eye, the bullet cut her, a trail of blood streaming down her cheek. Bending down, I lick my thumb, wiping over it, trying to clean the blood away. As I clean away the blood, the little girl starts playing with my tall, black hair, causing her to giggle.

"What's your name, short stuff?" I ask her once I finish cleaning the blood and get to my feet.

"Clementine."

"Hi Clementine. I'm Dan."
