Serena’s eyes mapped open just as the knife was knocked away. Keith’s tall figure stood protectively in front of her, his hand gripping Erika’s wrist in a crushing hold. He twisted sharply, forcing her to drop the weapon, which clattered to the floor.

The sudden movement sent Erika stumbling backward, completely off balance,

Serena was still breathing hard from the terror. She watched everything unfold while trying to steady her shaking Breath, She wanted to speak, but her throat felt completely frozen–no words would conse out.

Keith quickly pulled off his jacket and wrapped it aimund Serena’s shoulders. Seri, are you hurt?”

The cold feeling at her neck disappeared instantly, but her head was still spinning from everything that had just happened. She managed to whisper, “I’m okay,” though her body went completely limp as all the tension finally left her.

Once Keith made sure Serena was okay, he crouched down behind her and got to work on the ropes around her wrists. He could see the deep red marks where the rope had cut into her skin. “Just a second,” he said quietly

The rough rope made scraping sounds as his strong hands worked at the knots. Keith grabbed the loose end and gave it a few quick tugs until the binding finally came undone.

Serena’s hands were free at last, though her wrists were stiff and angry red from being tied up for so long

That was when Erika went completely insane. She threw herself at Serena like a wild animal

“Serena, I’m going to kill you!” Erika screamed. her voice cracking with pure hatred. She grabbed the knife from the floor, her eyes burning with rage, and charged straight at Serena

She moved so fast that Serena couldn’t get out of the way–Erka slammed into her and they both went down hard.

The back of Serena’s head smacked against the floor with a sickening thud. Everything went black for a moment, and waves of dizziness hit her like a

truck

“Serena! Why won’t you just die already? Why?” Erika was screaming like a madhwoman.

The impact had sent her sprawling too, and she wiped rain and mud from her face with filthy hands. “You took everything from me! You destroyed my entire life. You should be dead–just die already!”

Erika scrambled back to her feet, gripping the knife with both muddy hands like her life depended on it. After staggering a few steps, she lunged at Serena again, raising the blade high and bringing it down with all the fury she could muster.

Keith was watching from the side when he saw Erika’s knife about to reach Serena. He didn’t think twice–pure instinct took over and he threw himself

forward

The blade slashed through the pounding rain and scraped along Keith’s side. His whole body shuddered from the pain, and blood quickly spread across his shirt where the knife had cut him. The crimson stain bloomed outward in a way that was absolutely horrifying to see.

Serena’s

‘s eyes went wide with terror. Her breath caught in her throat as she stared at the bright red blood pouring from Keith’s side, soaking through his shirt and dripping down his waist. “Keith, are you okay?” she screamed.

She could see his legs wobble for a moment, but he gritted his teeth and forced himself to stay on his feet. Both his hands were locked and Erika’s wrists in a death grip.

Even though Keith had her pinned, Erika thrashed around like a wild animal, swinging the knife back and forth as she desperately tried–break free from

his hold

That was when the piercing wail of sirens cut through the night sky, getting louder as they got closer. The shrill sound was even more jarring against the backdrop of the rainy darkness.
