Returning

"..."

Looking outside the bus window, I sighed, trying to ignore the stares of the other passengers around me.

Well, I couldn't blame them, my clothes were covered in blood, and it wasn't just a small smudge here and there - it was everywhere.

"Mom, look at that man..."

A small girl sitting a few seats away from me pointed at me, her big purple eyes wide with curiosity.

"Shh... keep quiet, look outside the window."

The lady, probably the girl's mother, hushed her and gave me a quick sideways glance.

However, the small girl slipped out of her seat and her mother's hands, waddling toward me with her tiny steps.

"Eve!"

The mother tried to call her daughter back, but it was too late. The girl was already at the back of the bus, looking at me with curiosity.
