The moment the window was ajar, she jumped out. Right at that second, the door to the game room opened as well. The shadowy figure lifted his hunting gun and pointed it at his prey.

Maia did not know what was happening behind her as she dashed as fast as she could without looking back. There was nothing she could do aside from run for her life!

rain continued to pour and water splashed onto her as she ran. Maia’s eyes were red, and her legs were threatening to give way as she could feel her adrenaline pumping from the fear.
