I run down the hall from the cell where Declan has kept me for the last 2 months. I am barefoot and in a white lace nightgown with dirt and bloodstains all over it. I turn a corner and stop.
I am standing in a large open space with two cream couches that could fit 4 people each and two light blue armchairs with a mustard yellow and navy blue rug underneath a glass rectangular coffee table.
I do not stand there gawking to the well-decorated sitting room for long before I am sprinting for glass sliding doors that lead onto a deck.
The deck is slick with raindrops. I carefully sprint across the deck and down the stairs into well-mowed grass.
I stop when I see a figure standing right in front of me. I get into a defensive pose but soon realize it is Rose. "Rose?" I ask in a rough unused voice.
"Brooke," she exclaims and wraps me up in a hug that I could melt in any other time but right now I need to get out of this town and to my family in Los Vegas.
"I need to get you out of here before they realize I helped you escape," she says grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the 8-foot concrete fence that looks impossible to climb.
"How?" I ask looking all around for any sign of movement.
She does not answer me instead I follow her into a shed. The shed has the usual gardening equipment with the exception of the square paneling near the wall. Rose heads straight there and opens the hatch.
"This is the underground tunnels. Declan's family had it built when they built this estate. When you climb down you will see four tunnels. The one on the left takes you to the ocean, the one on the right takes you back to the house and into the cellar, the one straight ahead takes you to a basement of a hotel in Puebla, Mexico, the one the leads off from this ladder will take you into the mountains.
"You need to take the one that leads into the mountains. Do not go all the way to the mountains halfway there you will see a rickety latter take it and that will be where a guy named Antonio will be waiting for you to climb into his bean truck," she explains in a rush.
She pushes me towards the opening before I can ask her questions. I climb into it and just my head is sticking before we hear the sirens that mean I have escaped.
"Go Brooke and do not look back. Go to your parents in Las Vegas live your life be the badass I know you will be," she says with tears shining in her beautiful hazel eyes.
"Ro, what about you?" I ask. Looking up at her with pleading eyes.
She looks down at me sadly. "Brooke you are my best friend and sister but Matías is the love of my life and I will not leave him plus I am pregnant with his child," she says with a sad broken smile.
