Fugitive on the Run 2

Ashley lounges on the couch watching television. Her phone buzzes and she answers a call from her mother. Her mom warns her about a dangerous prisoner who escaped from a nearby prison and tells Ashley to check that her doors and windows are locked. Ashley humors her mother and checks the locks. She locks the front door and reassures her mother that she will be fine. After hanging up, Ashley start to overthink the situation so she calls a friend to spend the night but she is turned down. She mutters in frustration, then goes upstairs to change into sleepwear.

Ashley wears a tank top and shorts with bare feet as she comes back down to the living room, double checks the front door lock and the kitchen door. On her way back upstairs she grabs a knife from the kitchen drawer. She brings it to her bedroom and hides it in her nightstand drawer. She gets under the covers and after some time laying in bed she falls asleep.

In the morning Ashley wakes up and does some light stretching in bed. The night passed without incident and she gets ready for her day. She puts on athletic clothes and goes downstairs. Ashley stretches in the living room, stretching out her arms, legs, sides. Rolling her neck and shoulders to get ready for a workout. She suddenly hears a window breaking and investigates the kitchen, but finds nothing. From the basement a Prisoner in an orange jumpsuit rushes up behind her and loops a cord around her neck. He pulls her into the living room while Ashley struggles against the attack. He pulls her against the wall while he is positioned behind her, pulling hard at the cord around her neck. Ashley fights back, swinging her arms and elbows to try and break free of the attacker. The man holds on tight looking at her angrily as he takes her breath away. Ashley tries to claw at him but with no luck. She grows weaker and her legs buckle out from under her. The Prisoner continues holding on tightly to the cord as Ashley kicks her feet out in front of her and struggles with all her strength. Her hands fall from clutching at the cord around her neck as she succumbs to the pressure. Her hands fall to either side of her body as she twitches and convulses with the final bits of energy she has left. The Prisoner continues holding on tight as he guides Ashley to the floor where she falls with a wide open stare and her mouth hanging open. He holds on a few moments longer to the cord as she twitches on the ground. Then he lets go and puts a hand on either side of her face, twisting hard and snapping her neck. Ashley’s body twitches some more as she lays dead on the ground with the Prisoner gazing at her body.

Ashley wakes up in bed startled, realizing the attack was all a dream. She breathes heavily and calms herself down, then lays down and drifts back to sleep. Later that night the Prisoner really does enter the house from the basement. He stalks through the darkened house and looks around, stopping in the kitchen to steal a drink from the fridge, moves through the living room, and goes upstairs to Ashley’s bedroom.

The Prisoner creeps into her room and steps over to Ashley’s bed while she sleeps. He leans in and removes her blanket, then touches her body. Ashley stirs and wakes up at the touch, stunned to see him. She tries to get up and move away from the bed but the Prisoner punches her in the face and smothers her with a pillow. He pushes the pillow over her head and holds it there with his strength. She kicks and claws, slapping at the Prisoner while letting out cries and gasps from under the pillow. Her bare feet kick and slide against the bed but she is unable to get free of his grasp. She continues to fight but grows weaker until her body goes slack. Her hands fall and her body goes limp as the Prisoner holds the pillow tightly against her. He lifts the pillow away and checks her pulse. Seeing she is only unconscious he moves over to the nightstand to grab a garment. He moves away Ashley’s knife and grabs a scarf, moving to the other end of the bed to tie her feet together.

Ashley wakes groggy and tries to resist but the Prisoner puts his hands around her neck and strangles her tightly. She thrashes and fights but she cannot escape from his grasp. Her tied up feet kick as her body shakes and she tries to pull the Prisoners hands off of her neck. But he holds on tightly squeezing hard with both hands as Ashley gasps desperately for air. She slaps up at his face reaching her hand out far while keeping the other gripped on his hands around her neck. The Prisoner pushes Ashley down on to the bed and finishes her off. Ashley thrashes on the bed, her feet kicking and toes clenching. She reaches up trying to claw the Prisoners face but he keeps away as he pushes down and squeezes her neck hard. Eventually Ashley’s strength drains away. Her hands fall back and twitch at her sides, her eyes flutter, and she spasms until she is dead. The prisoner releases he and stares at her open unblinking eyes. He touches her face and plays with her limp arms. Then the Prisoner moves over to the nightstand and steals some jewelry from Ashley’s collection. The phone on the nightstand buzzes with a call from Ashley’s mother that goes unanswered while the Prisoner makes his escape.
