Amanda Smith didn't even pay attention to Mrs. Johnson's shocked expression. She didn't even have time to put on her shoes. She didn't stop to wonder why the person who had come in was Samuel Johnson's mother; her mind was fixated on one thought—salvation!
She had to run out, she had to escape, this was her last chance...
Barefoot, Amanda Smith ran to the door like the wind, glancing around and immediately spotting Samuel Johnson coming down the stairs from the opposite building. Her eyes slightly widened as the man clearly saw her too, his face showing a look of surprise.
There was a "bang" in Amanda's head and her mind went blank. Desperate, she ran towards another staircase not far away, the chilling sound of footsteps behind her making her heartbeat feel like it was going to burst out of her chest. But no matter how fast she ran, she couldn't outrun him. As she turned the corner downstairs, her arm was suddenly grabbed, and she was yanked backward!
