As rage subsides Hannah drops the knife, shuffling off the body and settling beside it. She takes inventory of her appearance, clothing soaked with blood. Waiting nearby would be a bag with a change of clothes, something to slip into and something to store the soiled articles of clothing. All things considered, the kill had gone off without a hitch. Weeks of planning and research coming together for one perfect moment: the end of the victim's life. At least, that is, they were going as planned until the sound of footsteps fill the nighttime air. She scrambles to find the knife again, her grip on the handle effectively tightening as a figure approach. Heart rate elevated, she can hear it pounding in her ears. She's preparing for the worst, some frightened reaction. Someone scrambling for their phone to call the police, everything happening within a flash. And yet, it doesn't.
The figure does not seem to even react to the mess before him. At least, not that Hannah can tell. Such a sight instills a small sense of calm within her. It's false security, though not enough to make the blade lower. She keeps her distance, now speaking up. ❛ Who the hell 're you? ❜
