Chapter 27

Lorelai's POV

I didn't look back as I ran down the tunnel with Clara in my arms who was starting to cry quietly in my arms. I couldn't soothe her right now I had to get her out of here before something or someone happened. I could feel the danger around us as I quickly turned down the right tunnel. I had to slow down and try and catch my breath up but I was still trying to jog. Clara was starting to feel heavy in my arms. I still carried on my chest heaving as I tried to suck in air, suddenly there was light filtering the tunnel but there was nothing in front of me.

I looked up and saw a drain above us, there was no way I'd be able to reach that, let alone push it open. "Clara, I'm going to sit you on the floor, okay?" I asked her looking down at the little girl in my arms, she nodded slowly

"Daddy won't come back" she told me

"He will baby" I lied to her but something in the back of my mind told me that I probably won't see Chase again. I shook my head and tried to think positive. The first thing I needed to work out was how to get out of the tunnel. I looked up again at the drain. I could hear a few voices but they were so faint. I sighed

"Mommy why don't we go back?" Clara asked me

"Because this is the only way out" I didn't look at her when I answered still looking up at the drain hoping it would magically fly open; it didn't.

"Why don't we shout?" Clara was now standing beside me looking up as well. Could we shout? What if the people in the tunnels would hear us? They might come back and get us.

"We can't, we have to be quiet" I told her.

"I want Daddy" she mumbled as she leaned against my leg.

"Help us!" I screamed at the top of my voice as I jumped out and banged on the drain.

I accidently knocked Clara over and quickly pulled her up "let's just shout, okay?" I held her up to the drain "bang"

She followed my instruction and screamed at the top of her voice "help"

"Anyone! Please!" I screamed up to the drain. Instantly there was a shadow

"People are down there?" I heard a women’s voice

"Help us! Please, get us out of here!" I cried

"I'm calling the fire brigade now, hang tight" a man’s voice now said as more people peered into the drain

"God lord! I think it’s that girl that was missing" another voice

"Where? Let me see?"

"I think your right, Helen!"

Clara sunk into me as I moved away from the drain and people’s eyes. Should I run back and get Chase? Would he even still be there? I looked into the tunnel, I squinted my eyes hoping that would make my eyesight better and I saw an outline of a large man but he wasn't moving, just standing.
