'Bite her! Bite her! Drink her dry!' My cracked lips felt the gush of chilled breeze as I nearly stumbled against the school's concrete floor at the whining of my malnourished stomach. Once a fuss of chatter and an outpouring of friends, the hallway had become an endless torrent of order, each of us a careful two meters apart.

Keenly, I went after Abigail, my best friend's girlfriend, as she toddled down the hallway by herself, her blue Nike tracksuit was smeared and reeked of fresh blood. I gripped my bag tightly and probably didn't have the time to breathe. For some reason, she smelled so good, like bacon after a long hike. She staggered like an injured deer.

She was the prey, I was the predator.
