She started learning survival skills at age six. did not find it surprising that she would realize the way to survive future attacks by Chase was for him to be gone, learning from female insects and animal behavior.
It did not seem possible that her plan would work, given variables ~ like the bus being unexpectedly late. The story would have had to end a lot sooner if there had not been a trial, red herrings as to who killed Chase.
She did not want to live in fear, not knowing when he would show up and attack her again. Would she be able to fend him off again? Would he kill her? Would she actually be able to accidentally kill him in self defense should he attack?
