**Emily's POV**

The hole was finally big enough for me to crawl through. I looked through the gap and I could see woods. That is where I would hide.

I had it all planned out. I would leave a message on the side in mine and Ethan's language we made up. 17, 9, 9, 11, 4 which means woods incase Ethan came there. Then I would hide in the woods until I see a car and I would hitch a ride with them, calling the police at the same time.

I had to wait until after the time of day where they take me so they wouldn't come and catch me escaping.

I lay on the straw and closed my eyes waiting until Jack comes to collect me.

**Ethan's POV**

The drive was taking forever and I was getting frustrated. I just wanted to get there but it seemed to be getting further away. The map said we had 4 hours until we arrived.

I picked up my speed again.

**Emily's POV**

I heard the same noise of the door creaking open and Jack appeared. He picked me up like usual and dragged me towards the house.

This is the last time

You don't have to do this again

Don't worry

You're fine

I kept telling myself these words so I didn't break down and freak out. After this I can escape. It's the last time.

Jack chucked me into the barn closing and locking the door. I sat down for a bit trying to regain my strength and energy. Everything ached and hurt. I hugged my legs trying to stop them from shaking.

I crawled to the side and grabbed a piece of wood and scratched the numbers into the wall. When I had done that I lay down for a bit. I needed some energy to run.

**Ethan's POV**

30mins.

Finally we were so close. I was speeding along the small paths. Dust clouds forming behind the jeep.

Grayson looked uneasy and nervous. I was feeling the same. We both sat in silence, no music. We needed a moment to process our thoughts.

We were so close and I wanted to get there right now. I wanted to rescue her and kill whoever took her. I knew the consequences of murder but they deserved it.

I could feel myself clenching the steering wheel with anger.

20mins

I kept checking the clock, trying to speed up. I don't think the jeep could go any faster.

"Slow down Ethan" Grayson said concerned.

"We are nearly there, we have to get there" I said angry.

"We can't rush there. They'll see us and then we wont be able to save Emily" Grayson snapped back

I guess he was right.

I sighed "okay"

**Emily's POV**

I looked out through the hole and then walked over to the barn door. I pressed my ear against the door listening to see if I could hear any movement outside.

I couldn't so I hobbled back to the hole and crawled out.

It was a tight squeeze but I managed to get out. As quick as I could I ran into the woods as far away as possible. I found a little hill with a huge tree which I could hide behind. I sat behind it breathing heavy. I tried to regain my energy.

**Ethan's POV**

We slowly approached the barn and I parked the jeep out of sight. We hopped out and Grayson grabbed a bat and I grabbed the gun.

I looked around but couldn't see any cars.

I saw a huge barn and I wondered whether she was in there. I run up to it and noticed the lock. I knocked on the door yelling her name.

There was no answer.

I looked at Grayson and it was clear that he was thinking the same thing. I stepped back.

Grayson lifted the bat high and whacked it down on the lock. It didn't break so he tried again using more energy.

This time the lock smashed open and pieces of it flew around. I looked at Grayson and he had an accomplished look on his face. I smiled and walked in.

I looked around and there was nothing but hay. I called for Emily but there was no answer.

I looked at the hay where it was compressed like someone had been lying down on it. Next to it on the wooden barn walls were 4 numbers 17, 9 , 9 , 11, 4

"It's Emily" I said.

Grayson looked around confused. I started to remember our secret language in my head.

"Remember these letters" I said to Grayson.

"W" I was trying hard to think.

"O, O" (Sorry to interrupt your reading but that looks like an owl or someones face and I was laughing for ages at it, continue)

"D, S" Were the final letters.

"Woods" Grayson said.

I run out of the barn and looked at the side. There was the woods. I run towards where we had parked the car, not worrying whether or not Grayson was following.

I jumped in and so did Grayson. I drove around the path looking for Emily. We called out the window. I hoped I would hear a reply but there was nothing.

**Jacob's POV**

I walked towards the barn when I noticed the chain and lock had been smashed off. I panicked and run inside discovering that the barn was empty.

I quickly called Liam to help look for her in the woods before Sir found her.

I went by foot and Liam drove on his motorbike.

I called for her even though I knew she wouldn't reply. I just needed to find her.

I carried on looking.

-------------------------------------

There is going to be a lot of drama, suspense, plot twists and everything else in the next few chapters. I don't know if the next chapter is the last one or the one after it is but I don't have much more to write so I think it will probably fit into one chapter.

I can't wait for you guys to read the ending. I hope you think it is good :))
