A few minutes ago...

Loretta woke up after a few hours of sleep, finally getting back the strength she needed. Her wounded arm was bandaged and there was a tray of food kept aside for her.

It was 1 am. She had no idea of the time Fabian would go to bed and would only find out when she left her room.

She ate a little desert, drank some water, and climbed down her bed, holding the kitchen knife so firmly as she made for his room. Ending his life would mean a way of escaping for her.

She couldn't spend another minute in the drug house. They would end her life without thinking so she had to put laws into her own hands and decide to find a way out for herself.

She slowly opened the door while her heart throbbed faster as she peeped in. He was asleep on his bed. It was all perfect.

She slowly tiptoed into the room and gently closed the door behind her, trying to make no sound to alert him of her presence.

She walked to the bed and waved her hand across his face but he didn't open his eyes.
