The slow heavy sound of her heart racing heart filled the box and she stilled herself, readied her body, and prepared her mind for whatever was about to happen next.
"Creak!!"
She felt the box moving upwards, exposing her to the unsuspecting individual.
"Wha- -"
"BAM!!"
Instantly, she rolled to the side. She snapped her legs on the knees of her victim, only stopping her attack when she saw him falling against the floorboard while the wooden box crashed and broke apart on the ground.
However, she didn't stop there. Immediately, she manoeuvred her hands through his neck and placed him in a chokehold. Even though she wasn't an ascendant, she still had some fighting skills, so the more he struggled, the more her hands tightened.
