Anya wasn't running because she was scared. She was trying to lure whoever was following her, so that could take the dominance instead of getting hurt by any weapon if the person was wielding it.
The mansion was designed so flawlessly that it was hard to lure them to the corner. She thought to hide in her room and attacking when they will enter inside. She entered inside and left the door ajar. She hid aside. Her legs were one behind the other and hands in position to attack and defend immediately without delay.
However, the footsteps suddenly seized and heard the steps stumbling and noises as if being choked. She slowly peaked out and saw a tall man choking a lady clutching her throat against the wall.
She identified it was Alvin under the dim lights, she ran over to him and held his arm, "Alvin, leave her… Alvin, please… She will die… Alvin…" She screamed at the end to bring Alvin to his senses.
