I managed to talk her into opening up to going outside with me, despite her fears, and I convinced her that I'd be with her the whole way, taking those baby steps to confidence.
She unlocks the door, I give her more affirmations on us both leaving together.
I'm several feet outside, she standing distant on the other side. I ask her "you coming along?",
She responded in affirmation, but she does not move, her smile with intense love stares back at me.
Just to be sure, I ask "You sure you're okay with me going outside, with you obviously being here with me?"
She once again responded in affirmation and confidence
Despite her still waiting at the door, I slowly inch towards the stairs while watching her, seeing if she'll follow.
And follow she did...
"DO REALLY THINK YOU CAN ESCAPE FROM ME? STAY WITH ME FOREVER!"
The adrenaline kicks in as I realize what's happening, and I sprint downstairs towards the exit, while she slashes at me.
I made it outside alive, but at what cost?
