The man laughed heartily at Samantha's boldness, clearly amused by her lack of self-awareness. "You're an interesting woman. Do you think you stand a chance against me?"

"We won't know until we try, will we?"

As Samantha pushed herself up from the floor, the man cracked his neck and gripped a knife in his hand. He started walking toward her with a menacing grin. "Alright, let's see what you've got." Elain, still tied to the bed, screamed, "Samantha, run!".

"Don't worry about me." ""Samantha!"

As the man advanced, Samantha swiftly dodged, circling behind him. In one fluid motion, she seized his arm and wrestled the knife from his hand. Without hesitation, she wrapped her arm tightly around his neck, forcing him down to the floor, her grip tightening as she tried to choke him unconscious.

The man hadn't expected Samantha to be this skilled. He struggled, clawing at her hands, desperately trying to break free. However, her hold only grew stronger, her arm pressing harder and harder. The man's movements slowed, his breath faltering, until finally, his body went limp.

He lay there motionless.

Samantha, still cautious, kept her grip firm around his neck. Only when she was sure he wasn't moving did she slowly release her hold. She collapsed onto the floor, gasping for air, utterly exhausted.

Her head throbbed violently, and the dizziness she felt earlier surged with even greater intensity.

She pressed a hand to her forehead, fighting off the swirling nausea. Then, grabbing the knife, she staggered over to Elain and cut the ropes binding her to the bed. Helping Elain off the cold stone slab, she urged, "We need to leave now."

Elain nodded, her eyes filled with guilt as she glanced at Samantha's bloodied face. "I'm so sorry, Samantha. If it weren't for me insisting we come in here, you wouldn't be hurt like this. It's all my fault."

"You couldn't have known the killer would be hiding in this cave. It's not your fault. Let's just focus on getting out of here."

"Alright."

Elain quickly wrapped herself in a coat and, despite her weakness, supported Samantha as they began to move. They tried to find their way out, circling the caves walls, but every path led them to a dead end. soon, the killer might wake up, and the er dizziness worsening by the second.

Remembering the spot where the killer had stood earlier, Samantha walked over and tapped along the wall, but nothing happened. The killer had definitely entered from here-so why was there no sign of an

exit?

Her vision blurred as she scanned the cave. Staggering slightly, she crouched down, her gaze landing on a patch of uneven grass. She reached out and brushed the grass aside, revealing a small, hidden opening in the ground. This must be the tunnel leading to the warehouse.

"Elain," Samantha said, her voice strained but firm. "This is the way out. The killer must've used this tunnel. Go first and crawl out through it. Then, call the police.

Elain's face filled with worry. "What about you? I can't leave you here."

Samantha met her gaze, determined. "Don't worry about me, Elain. I'll follow you out. I just want you to go first. If you go after me, there's a chance the killer might catch you, and you wouldn't stand a chance against him. But I'm different-I know self-defense. Even if he grabs me again, I can fight him off and escape. So, go first, and once you're out, call the police.novelbin
