Gritting her teeth, Rachel Wood soon saw a pathway up a hill that wasn't too far away.

It meant she would soon be out of the village. Then, she'd be free from the risk of being surrounded by the villagers.

She kept running forward, ignoring everything else.

Terrified, she couldn't stop crying. Tears blurred her vision, but she kept running and didn't dare to stop.

Rachel ran faster than she'd ever run in her life.

Meanwhile, the villagers continued to chase after her. She was fast, but she wasn't as fast as those men.

Ten minutes later, they were only approximately fifty meters behind her when she made it to the pathway up the hill.

It was a crossroad of sorts, and Rachel had no idea which one to choose.

Out of time, she chose to turn right and kept running forward while the villagers pursued her relentlessly.

She was barefoot with cuts everywhere.

She had no idea when her soles had become wounded so badly.
