Gina hit me so hard on the head with a heavy stick that I nearly fainted. Gina put her hands around my neck. I almost choked. I tried to free myself from her hands, but she suddenly became as savage and powerful as a mad cow. "You ruined me," Gina said viciously. "I'm going to kill you." Gina squeezed my neck tighter and tighter as my legs struggled to move. When I could hardly hold on. I put my hand into the shoe with the military knife. I tried once and almost touched the hilt. On the second attempt, the knife finally came out, and I slashed it at Gina's neck. She screamed and touched her neck, and I kicked her in the stomach. Then her body fell to one side, and I got up as soon as I could. Then I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I looked down and saw a circle of blood on my clothes.
