625 Not safe

[Emergency Staircase]

Ivy panted for air, holding on to the railing as she looked over it to check if someone was following her. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw no one was coming up the stairs. 

'Goodness.' She patted her chest in relief, hunching in a little as she felt her entire body shaking. "Oh, god."

Her relief didn't last long as she looked around, biting her bottom lips in distress. No one came after her, but she was now a few levels above the exit she planned to take. Ivy pinched the bridge of her nose, a little stressed about her own situation. 

Now, it was clearer to her that this place was surrounded. One wrong move and she might end up being a hostage. Worse, dead.
