Let Me Stay The Night

As Christina descended slowly, she suddenly felt the rope shaking. This is strange. Why is the rope shaking even when I don’t move?

Just as Christina raised her head, the rope lost all support, causing her to plummet down.

Her body tensed up, and it took several seconds after the impactful landing for her mind to regain clarity.

What just happened?

Christina turned her head and saw that her rope had snapped.

How could a perfectly fine rope snap? Wait a second, the edges are smooth, as if they were cut. The only person with me just now was Anya. She must have tampered with my rope!

Anger ignited deep within her. She guessed that Anya was afraid of the leverage she held, leading her to sabotage the rope.

Regardless of the reason, Anya’s actions had posed a threat to Christina’s life.

Christina gathered her thoughts and decided it was best to leave this place as soon as possible.

She shifted slightly, relieved that her hands were unharmed, but she experienced a throbbing ache in her body. When she sat up and tried to put weight on her foot, a searing and intense pain surged up her ankle.

Oh no, I think I injured my leg from the fall!

Christina tried to find her phone in her pocket to call for help, but after searching through all of them, she couldn’t locate her phone. It was highly likely that it had fallen out when she fell.

As she surveyed her surroundings, all she could see were trees, leaving her disoriented and unable to find her way.

What should I do? I can’t move and don’t have any means of communication. I have no idea how to escape the forest…

Meanwhile, Anya had landed safely. She discarded the other half of Christina’s rope, pretending she had never climbed with Christina.

Upon returning to the rest area, she exchanged glances with her colleagues and promptly started packing up, getting ready to depart.
