Chapter 107

I manage to flip us over but it's not long before Paz crawls off, dashing to grab my legs and drag me across the floorboards. I scream as the wood digs into my back. But Paz cuts me off when he kicks at my ribs and grasps my nose, ready to snap it once again. I don't let him.  I jab at his throat and he chokes, skittering like a crazed animal. I swipe at his legs and he collaspes back onto the ground. I take the chance to gather the floorboard from earlier and utilize it as my weapon. I really regret throwing my gun now.  But then I smash it across his face and Paz is howling. Our chance at either of us escaping is done as the kitchen has now caught, creating a fiery pit that only means death if we jump. I have no intents of jumping, though. But Paz wants me to. He grasps at my useless weapon and lurches me over him, to where my hair dangles over my head and fire is roaring beneath me, blasting heat into my face. I feel sweat trickle down my neck.
