I woke with a start, the end credits were rolling on screen, and why did I feel wet and sticky? I looked down, and screamed. The front of me was covered in blood. It looked pretty fresh. It was on my shirt, arms, and felt like it was on my face. The coppery scent was over whelming.
  
   "Oh crap..." I groaned.

   I ran to the bathroom, and promptly vomited. Several times. After a good twenty minutes, I pulled myself up, and look in the mirror. Several things were off. The most obvious was the blood. It was splattered everywhere, chest, arms, and the side of my face. Where had it come from? Was it mine? I didn't feel any pain... My braid had fallen out somehow too. I didn't think I was a wild sleeper... but something had to have happened.
   I need to get out of these clothes... I thought.
  I ran to our room, and opened the closet next to my bed. I took off the bloody clothes, changed into a tank top, new sweats. I went back to the bathroom, and scrubbed the blood off until the skin on my arms and face where the blood had been was tender and pink. Then I went to put on a soft hoodie. I felt really cold for some reason. I walked out, trying to tell myself I was just really sick. Maybe I'd just coughed up a lot of blood. I turned the TV to cable, and started to watch the live news cast.

  "You can see behind me John, the small park where the victims body was found just thirty minutes ago." The lady reporter was saying, standing in front of...wait a minute. That was No Man's Park! It wasn't far from the apartment complex Sky and I lived in!

   "The victim has been identified as forty three year old Carter Hartman. He was a resident in one of the apartment complexes near the park. His body has what appear to be several large, deep claw marks. Authorities believe Hartman was mauled by a large animal, but they don't know what animal would be big enough to make such marks. We'll know more after his body is examined by the coroner. Stay tuned for any further developments."

   Beautiful, isn't it? A little voice in my head said.
   I started, backing into a lamp table, sending both me, the table, and the lamp crashing to the floor.

   "What is happening to me?!" I said aloud, trying to push myself up, only to cut my hand on a piece of broken lamp, "Sh*t!" I cursed.

   "Lizzie, I'm hoome!" I heard Sky sing as she came in.
