Chapter 27 - Escape

As the door opened, the serial killer looked at Ilaya who's still in the corner and said

"You're really obedient, I like obedient ones the most"

The man laughed and placed the tools that he brought to the table. The tools clank as he puts it down, and Ilaya flinches at the sounds of the tools that she knows that's going to be used on her. Ilaya held back her fear as she gripped the knife even tighter

The man then proceeded to take out the pliers, saw, hammers, and nails as she spoke to Ilaya

"Hey look! I bring you so many gift. Come and take a look!"

Ilaya trembled as she's curling up in the corner. The man saw that she's not making any move and it annoyed him

"You're really asking for a beating!"

The man then rushed at Ilaya he kicked her back so many times

Thub! Thub! Thub!

Ilaya gritted her teeth as she felt the pain in her back as she teared up, but she didn't move. She endured the blows in her back as she's waiting for the right timing

".. khh!… ack!.."

Ilaya lets out groans as the killer kicks her. Then, the man got tired of kicking her and stopped

"Your not making the reaction I want, I wonder how long can you endure then?"

The man then walked into the table and picked a pliers and said

"Do you know the feeling of your nails being forcefully removed?"

The moment Ilaya hears that, she trembled even harder that she looked like vibrating. She decided that she needs to act now!

'F-for him to pull out my f-fingernails, he needs to be closer to me'

Then the man chuckles as he walked towards Ilaya

"It's going to hurt really, really bad! That you'd rather die! But I'm not going to let you die… at least not yet!"

The man crouched down and forcefully grabbed Ilaya's leg and lifted up her foot! Ilaya then struggled as she pulled back her feet as she moved her legs violently as she cried

"P-please stop!! Don't hurt me! Help!!"

Her shoes is removed by her movements and the man laughed as he finally got the reaction that he wanted

"Hahaha! Yes! That's right! Scream! Scream louder!!"

He forcefully held Ilaya's foot by using his armpits as he tried to bring his plies to her toes, but because of Ilaya's violent movement, he couldn't place it. He got angry as he shouted

"It seems you need to be beaten like a dog before you learn your lesson!"

The man then threw away her feet and he kneeled and grabbed Ilaya's shoulder to turn her around to beat her face. Then, she struggles while pleaded

"Nooo! Please stop!!"

When he finally turned her around, the killer saw a glinting knife that is heading in his face

Ilaya controlled her fears that threatened to overwhelm her rationality. She struggled violently to make the killer angry and to lead the man into beating her. She only hope that the killer doesn't beat her by kicking her. But based on her experience of the serial killer, he had a habit of hitting her face so she decided to bet on that

She acts like she's desperate to let the man think that he's in control, and causes him to lower his guard. When the man managed to turn her around, she immediately whipped her arms and managed to slice the killer's face!

Shiikk!

As her arms is is cuffed, her force is not that strong because she was laying down and cannot enter a proper position for the strike

"Ahhhh!!"

She saw that the serial killer tumbled back as he clutched his bleeding face. She felt the sensation of knife slicing a human flesh and that made her nauseous. She gritted her teeth as she immediately got up and tried to stab him. But she's just standing, staring at the man writhing on the floor. She couldn't move her arms, and her knees keeps trembling at the thought of ending a life

"Hahh..hahh.. hahh.."

Ilaya felt suffocated as she looked at the man, then she ran towards the door and finally got to go outside. As she's running at the hallway while breathing heavily, she heard the unbridled hatred from the killer's scream inside the room

"I'm going to kill you!!"

Ilaya felt her hair stood on end as she hurriedly distanced herself from the killer while limping from the stab wound on her leg

She runs to her freedom

The man inside the room clenched his teeth from the pain of the cut in his face. The diagonal cut from his face leaks out blood as he gets up and breathes heavily. Then, the man walked towards the table and picked up his knife. He then started to sprint out of the door to follow his victim.. that dared to cut his face!

'I'll kill that damned woman! I'll kill her for sure!!'

He looked at the drops of blood of the victim as he used it as his guide. He felt angry and ashamed of himself as to actually forget the knife that he stabbed at the woman due to his excitement! If he didn't forget those details, she wouldn't have escaped from him, and is currently making the woman sing for him!

He put his hand at the back waist as he pulled out his gun. He then rushed towards the hallway

As Yamato received his order, he looked around the place as soon as he got out of the warehouse. He started looking around as noticed a dark spot on the ground. He kneeled and grabbed his phone to light the substance. He inspected it and saw a blood clot. He touches it to make sure and rubbed his finger. The blood clot spread through his finger as he confirmed it

'Blood'

Then, he stood up and remembered that this was the path where the man that he saw later on walked through. He remembered that the man was walking in the opposite direction of the warehouse. He exclaimed

"Shit! Is it possible that it's the killer that had kidnapped Ilaya!?"

Yamato grabbed his hair as he grimaced.

'I'm so close to the killer and managed to let him escape!'

He started to walk again. This time, he's following the trail of the man that he saw earlier.

As he's following the trail, Yamato hears a faint scream in the distance. He looked at the direction where the sound came from, and saw that the path was in a small dark forest. The forest is dark as it is ominous. He felt like a beast was lurking in these trees. Yamato saw a path and entered it. He closed his light as to not give his position and he slowly moved forward

Ivana looked around the location that his subordinate told her, then, she finds the warehouse according to the intel and she parked her car. She got out as she let a red aura manifest in her palm, she look at it and saw that the red aura is slowly pointing towards the small forest in the distance

Then, she unsheath her daggers a she sprints towards the dark forest
