Russkiy Bear"When his brother was killed, he wasfull of blood drive towards those who did it"It is horrible English, and barely understandable.

"Wanna" should only appear as part of quoted matter in an attempt to render substandard speech. Write "want to".
A blood drive is when they try to get a lot of people to donate their blood, like for the Red Cross. If you try to use it for the urge to kill, nobody will know what you mean. It should work, but it does not for that reason.
The "drive" in "*** drive" is a term from ps

I would not recommend using drive in these cases. I doubt it would be understood the way you want it to. You might try "the urge to..." or "the need to...", but perhaps that is not what you are looking for here.
