The knife digs into her shoulder, and she screams again, in pain and fear. Until this point, it didn't occur to her that she might die here. She has no illusions about what's awaiting her after this, but she didn't doubt that she could come out of this encounter alive. Even without her arm, she had a weapon, and she knew he would be bagged and restrained. She didn't him to have a weapon. She didn't expect the ropes to be loose.
She underestimated him, she thinks, and she overestimated Hal. But she isn't done yet.
Pulling at the sword, she takes it with her as she starts to run, trying her hardest to ignore the pain in both her arm and her shoulder. She knows where she's going. She makes a beeline for the bear trap, aiming to run around it. If she can get that far, she stops on the other side.]
