Chapter 9 ~ Getting the Hell Out

Ivory's POV

Once Carla had cut the lights off and closed the door to leave, I slipped into the comfortable bed and tried to fall asleep.

But try as I may I couldn't.

Being alone in the silence gave me time to think. Like what the hell is wrong with me. I've been here for a day and still haven't tried to escape. These people kidnapped me and are harsh, well not physically towards me but they talk harsh. I've already been through something like this before and I sure as hell am not falling for it again. It's time I started to think straight for once.

Sitting up I look around as I start to think more.

I can't get outside my room because someone is bound to see me. So how the crap am I gonna get out?

Standing up I tip toe towards the door making sure not to make any noise and I silently freak it open. Poking my head out I look from left to right to see no one. The hall lights are still on meaning not everyone is asleep and since it's quiet I'm gonna guess they are busy with something else. Silently closing the door I look around again for an object that I could carry to beat someone if I need to. But instead see an option two.

The window!

Tip toeing towards it I pull back the curtains to see. Luckily I wasn't that high up and it wasn't that far of a drop. I can make this! Turning around I walk over to my clothes and take this button up shirt off and throw it towards the bed. Slipping on my own clothes and my shoes I walk back towards the window and try to pry it open. Slipping my fingers underneath the window I slide it up just enough for me to get through. Bringing my right leg up and through the window I sit on the ledge with one foot out and the other in and determine whether this is a good idea.

...it beats staying here.

Bringing my other leg out I jump down onto the grass with a soft thud. Looking around I hear people talking and decide to follow it. Looking around the corner I see Damian and three other guys talking and decide that this is my best chance. Turning back around I quietly walk a few ways from them and see the forest before running. Hearing someone shout behind me made me kick it into high gear and run even faster.

Running into the forest I stop and catch my breath before turning around. Two cars were coming this way and fast. I can't outrun a car so I picked the next best thing. I run a little ways and take my shoes off and throw them into the forest close together to make it look as if I lost them on accident. Turning to my right I run that way deeper into the forest and find a good tree to hide in away from them and high up from the lights of the car.

Hearing the engine of the cars draw near made my adrenaline rush two times as much as it was before. I've never been in this situation. Well sort of, but not hiding in a tree situation.

I could hear four car door slams and muttering going on before seeing them walk into the light from the cars.

"Hey I think these are her shoes?" A man speaks up as he jogs towards the area I threw them.

"Damnit." I hear Damian's voice speak up. I could see him brush his fingers through his hair before speaking again. "She couldn't have got far. Spread out and if you find her bring her to me. We are gonna have ourselves a long chat." I hear him growl out followed by some yes airs from his men.

I couldn't help but shiver with a little fear. I'm very capable of handling myself, but this.. this makes me think other wise. These men are strong and could knock me out in seconds. But luckily they are stupid brutes. After all it's not about the strength it's about the strategy. If your smart enough to think of a good battle strategy you could beat your opponent and win. Well I mean I guess you do have to have some strength.

The men got into the cars and drove to different path into the forest. And luckily away from me.

Climbing my way down the tree I run over to the area I threw my shoes and see that they are gone meaning they took them. Seeing their tail lights go farther into the forest I decide to try something else. This place is a good bit away from civilization and running isn't going to get me anywhere. So my best option is to drive.

Running back towards the mansion I head towards the garage and try to open it but it's locked. Looking around the side I don't see any regular doors but it's connected to the house meaning the other door inside the garage is.. inside the house..

Didn't think this through but it's all I got.

Slipping inside I look to my left and look for the door to the garage.

"Ivory?" I jump and turn around to find Carla.

"Oh my gosh Carla, you almost gave me a heart attack!" I whisper harshly. "I don't want to heart you but if you try to stop me I'll knock you feet out from underneath you and gently drop you."

"What? No. I'm not here to stop you? And dropping me gently isn't going to do a thing either." She crosses her arms and looks at me with a blank expression.

"If you're not here to stop me then what are you doing? Stalling?!"

"No, I'm here to help you." She puts her hand behind her back before looking left and right to hand me a set of keys. "This is the key that goes to one of the cars in the garage. The door is right over there. Once you're in press the button on the key to unlock the car and get the hell out of here." She whispers to me before handing over the keys.

I grab them and look at her. "Thank you." I hug her before letting go.

"You're welcome. Now go!" She whispers harshly and points towards the door.

I smile at her before rushing towards the door and entering the garage. Pressing the button on the keys I hear a beep noise from a dark blue charger and race towards it and into the front seat. Cranking the engine I look up to see a remote attached to the little mirror and press the button for the big garage doors to open. Only to see Damian standing there looking pissed as hell.

Rolling down the window I look out at him and smirk. "Sorry pal but it's two against one, I am not afraid to run you over in this car! A little blood never scared me!"

He smirks too. "Well that makes two of us!" He speaks up for aiming a gun. My eyes widen and I look at him with pure determination. Nothing is going to stop me, not even him and a pistol. Gripping the wheel hard and revving the engine I look towards him as he looks dead at me. With one hand now on the wheel and the other on the gear shift. Out of the corner of my eye I see Jack, Nick and Billy step into the garage and look in between us. Jack yells something towards Damian and he yells an answer back.

Stepping on the gas pedal I switch the gear to drive and race towards him and luckily Damian jumps out of the way. But not before a shot sounds off and the car jerks left and right. Try to hold it steady I finally manage to keep it under control and speed down the gravel road and towards the gate. Looking up I press another button hoping it's the button to open the gate. But not in time. As fast as I was going I charged at the gate and knocked it down driving over it and into the road.

Laughing at what happened and how happy I am to have escaped I turn down the road and drive towards the city.

"FREEDOM!"

Dang! Long time, no see huh?  Sorry I've been inactive I just haven't had the inspiration lately and didn't have a phone at the moment. My last phone broke and I was using a Kindle which sucked! But now I have me a good IPhone that is in one heck of a good protection case.

I plan on updating more and updating my other book as well.

BTW: I have changed my name to smoothgenesis instead of queentaylor because I thought that was sort of basic, in my opinion. And I hope you guys like the new cover it was made by Midnight_Disasters she did one heck of a job and I love it so much! Make sure to go and check her out!
