KO

I crawled out, the spikes jabbing painfully into my hands and knees. Suddenly I heard a dull thud and a cry of pain. As I got shakily to my feet, Stanton spun away from me, reaching for his sword. He started to draw it, but then there was another thud and he fell to his knees, blood flowing down over his forehead.

‘Alice!’

She was standing facing me, holding a rock in her left hand. She’d used it to fell both Stanton and the remaining guard.
