The man's arms tightened around my waist and I know I would surely feel the stinking pain if he made a slightest move with the knife but the pain never came. I opened my eyes to see Max looking around confusedly.
What's wrong? I wondered and tried to look around too but I didn't dare when the man pressed the knife even more. I gasped? I could feel tears trickle down my eyes.
I couldn't breathe now. He wasn't letting me breathe. I started choking. God!
I can't breathe.
I jumped slightly as a loud rattling sound came from within some bushes at the left side of the road. The man jerked towards the noise all at once, pulling me along. Ah! That hurts, you scoundrel! I squeezed my eyes tightly. Shit! I think that my neck is broken.
The rattling sound became more louder and nearer. It was really scaring the hell out of me. Oh god! This wasn't some freaking horror movie for crying out loud.
