Amerie clung on to the little bit of life she had left in her. The gasping for was starting to hurt and she didn't know how she was gonna make it out of this.

An idea pops on her mind as tries to squeeze her hand between her neck and the rope. She tries to push the rope away from her as the man behind her uses his strength against her.

The rope is burning her hand but she doesn't stop pushing against it. She lifts her feet to dashboard and feels on the side of the seat for the lever to recline the seat.

Her left hand grips it as her right pushed the rope outwards and she places her weight in her legs she pushes her back to the seat and pulls the lever causing the seat to push back and she frees herself.

She coughs as she tries to catch her breath. Her body is grabbed pulling her out of the seat and although she feels weak she still puts her all into fighting back.

Digging her nails into the man's arm she puts her all into scratching him causing him to yell out in pain. He yanks Amerie out of the car her back hitting the hard concrete.

In Amerie's mind, she was going to be killed and she was determined to fight until the very end. After everything she has been through, she refused to go out weak, she refused to cry, she refused to plead all she wanted was for her killer to remember she didn't go down without a fight.

She quickly rolls across the ground and gets to her feet. The man was quick, the moment her feet touched the ground he had her locked into his embrace as he began to drag her back to the car. Amerie fights against him but with her arms in a tight lock, she wasn't successful.

She takes a second to breathe before something clicks in her mind. She looks to her left seeing the rope that was being used to strangle her was just a few feet away. Using her forearms she brings them up and grabs the man's arms and pulls herself in before swinging her hips to the right and striking him hard in the groin with two sharp punches.

He yells out in pain letting her go and hunching over grabbing himself, Quickly and swiftly Amerie pivots facing the man. She sends a sharp blow to his head before grabbing the rope on the ground and wrapping it evenly in her hands.

Wrapping the rope around his neck she walks behind him and begins pulling. She crosses the rope tightening it. The man began gagging and pulling at the rope but Amerie tightens her grip. Her hands were beginning to shake and sting as the rope began cutting through her hand.

She held her breath to focus, the sounds of the man gasping and pleading for his life was all she could hear. His struggling stopped and he took his last raspy breath and Amerie let out the breath she was holding. The man laid their lifeless in the parking lot.

Amerie let go of the rope letting his head hit the ground before she walks back to the car. She closes all the doors and gets in. She looks at her now red and burned hands they were sore and it stung when she gripped the steering wheel.

Her body was shaking, she takes a few deep breaths before looking in the review mirror, she had marks on her neck from the rope. She touches them softly and looks away starting the car and driving back to the house.

Making it back to the safehouse, Amerie walks inside and is met by King, Jay, and Ze'rea sitting on the couch mapping something out. Amerie's presence made the three of them turn around and look at her.
