My Downfall | Killers List #3

Cut loose

Yerin slowly opened her eyes. The noise of rustling and pots and pans clinging against each other woke her up. By the time her eyes were fully opened the man was already leaving the room. The light coming from the opened door slowly disappeared till the room was pitch black again.

"Hey little bitch, wake up" Yerin whispered but got no response in return.

"Hello?" She whispered again. She could hardly see the other girl's face which obviously meant she couldn't see that her face was a bit red and blue from being too cold.

Yerin felt a sudden chill pass through her whole body. She hadn't noticed that she was shivering until she stopped worrying about everything else. The room was extremely cold, Yerin almost couldn't handle it. She could feel her body going numb and she had to do something before she wasn't able to move at all.

She rocked back and forth, using her body weight to knock the chair over on her side and to create heat from her movement. Just as she planned, the pocket knife Eunbi gave her came flying out of her pocket. She pressed her feet against the floor to turn 360 degrees around so her hands would be by the knife.

She cautiously grabbed the knife and began cutting at the rope. It was definitely going to take awhile considering the fact that the rope was very thick and she had a very small pocket knife. She had to hurry though, she didn't want Umji to lose another sibling.

She was finally able to cut her hands free after about a solid eight minutes of cutting. She now began to work on her feet. She wasn't going to take another eight minutes just to get her feet free so instead she spent about two minutes untying the knots to let her feet free.

As she stood up the door opened, bringing her right back down into her position with her back against the chair. She tried her best to make it look like she was still tied to the chair.

The man walked pass the both of them and went to the front of the room to grab something off the old and dusty desk. Yerin grabbed the pocket knife and slowly rose to her feet.

She looked over at the opened door to make sure no one else was coming. She slowly and stealthily snuck up behind him. She looked over his shoulder and looked at what he was grabbing but his body was blocking the light from the opened door so she couldn't see.

Yerin swiftly and without hesitation, brought the knife up to his neck, piercing it through his skin and slowly letting the knife travel across his neck, slitting his throat to let the blood pour out.

He choked on his blood as his dying body hit the floor. Yerin stared at him for awhile, an evil smile appeared on her blue lips. She quickly knelt down by Umji's sister and began untying the knots around her feet. Once she was done with that she moved onto her hands.

"Wake up" Yerin slapped her across the face but she still wouldn't make a sound or a movement.

Yerin wrapped her arms around the woman and lifted her up off the chair. She then wrapped the woman's arm around her shoulder so she could help her walk.

Once they were both facing towards the light Yerin noticed the girl's cold and blue face and lips.

"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck" Yerin cursed and shook her head. She couldn't let her die, Umji would be devastated and she's already been through enough with her brother dying. Imagine losing two siblings in just one day.

Yerin was running out of time but she had to warm up her cold body. Yerin leaned her body against a wall while she took off her coat. She wrapped it around the younger girl and helped her put her arms through the sleeves.

"Are we going to make it?" She suddenly whispered to Yerin as she was being carried by her.

"We're going to be just fine" Yerin lifted her up over her shoulder. She refused to carry her bridal style or have her in her previous position. She decided the best way for the both of them was for Yerin to just carry her on her shoulder.

"Where the fuck is my car?" Yerin threw her free hand up in the air. She looked around but her car was no where in sight. She remembers exactly where she parked but it was no longer here.

"We're just gonna have to run back. Don't worry it's not that far. We have to get to the city which is about twenty miles and then we have to go through the city and that's about thirty miles then we'll only have about ten more miles to go. So in total we're gonna have to walk about sixty miles. If we start now and don't stop then we'll be there by tomorrow" Yerin was good at math, no doubt about it, but it was also simple math. Yet she was stressed which caused her to be distracted easily. Sometimes she didn't even know how she was making it through life.

"That's way too far. We'll never make it" Umji's sister began waking up a bit more as her body got warmer.

"I have a friend who lives in the middle of town, it'll only be thirty miles in total. Her boyfriend is gone in the morning so we're gonna have to be there by then. Let's hurry" Yerins shoulder was beginning to hurt so she let the woman down. Plus, if they both walked or ran then they'd make it there faster. Her weight would just slow Yerin down.

"That's still a long way but we should stop complaining and get it over with. We need to hurry so let's go" she took the coat off her, knowing that she was going to start sweating.

"Don't walk. We need to run for as long as we can" Yerin looked back at the woman who was walking behind her as she was jogging towards town.

"Damnit" she began to pick up the pace.

They got away this time, but that doesn't mean they'd get away every time. Kyung has tricks up her sleeves, and she actually made it so that they'd be able to get out. The pocket knife wasn't Yerin's or Eunbi's, it was Kyung's.
