Life of lies

Chapter 44 - Escape

Nora's/Elisa POV

One year. It's been a whole year that I've spent in this shit hole.
Tonight is the night I and the girls have planned, to execute our mission.
It's already midnight, from the look of things and I can't fucking see what's going on.

I was just about to lie down, when I heard the rustling of keys.
The door opens, and it's Nessa.
I quickly rush to the door.

"Come on, we've set up the fire. We need to get out of here." She tells me, before we ran out of the rat infested hole, they call cell.

The whole building was on fire, people were running frantically.

"How did you get the keys?" I ask.

"We drugged the guards." She curly replies.

"Elisa, Vanessa, good thing you both are here already, come on, let's go" one of the group members tells us.

If this place is on fire, that means even prisoners might die.

"Wait!" I yell. They both turn back to face me with a questioning look. "Jenny, I have to rescue my friend, Jenny"

"Elisa we already unlocked as much cells as we could. Your friend might be alright! We have no time, let's leave!" Nessa yells.

"But what if-"

"Save yourself first before trying to save someone else, who probably, isn't trying to save you!" MJ snaps before  pulling me with her.

We arrive at the place. where all the group members were, outside.

"Come on! Over there!" The leader points towards what looks like a...tunnel

We made it out of there, before the shattering of the building could be heard.

Finally! I am free!

Aria's POV

I frantically hit Carl.
"Carl! Carl wake up! Someone is trying to break into the house"

He doesn't even make any sound.

"Carl!" I turn to glare at him, only now realizing I've been hitting a pillow.
Carl is no where to be seen.

I let out a sharp gasp.

"Carl?" I begin to get down from bed.

"Carl where are you?! You're scaring me"

The bang of the front door causes me to flinch.
I quietly walk out of the room, to know who the intruder is.

It's just an hour passed midnight. Who could be entering the house by this time?

No! I can't go unarmed.
I sneak into the kitchen, to get a knife, only to here Austin's cry.

My God!

My heart pounds violently in my chest

"Carl? i....is that you?" I run up the stairs, and into Austin's room.
What is see there, knocks my breath away.

Some hooded person, carrying Austin.

"Who are you?" I ask.

No reply, nothing but deadly silence. I feel cold wind entering the room. I remember locking all the windows before going to sleep, why is that one open?

The sound of the breeze, making this night much more terrifying than it already is.

"Who are you and what are you doing with my baby"
I remember hearing him crying, but now, he's just laying limp in the arms of the hooded person.
