"You're coming with me" the woman grabbed our arms and drug us up the stairs again. We stayed quiet. Who knows what she might do if we talk. We went up two flights of stairs. Where could she be taking us?
"You're staying in here" she whispered. "I promise I'll help you escape. " Wait....she just said we could leave but She's locking us in a room? Our puzzled faces must have gave away our questions. "If I let you leave now he'll be looking for you, If you wait until he gives up, you'll be free." We nod in agreement.
She leaves us and we look around. There's a couch, a tv, a radio, and a bed. Well... that'll help a little.

We hear a knock on the door. We really had No choice to say "come in" or "Yes?" We knew who it was. We just didn't know what she wanted. As she walked in the room she smiled. She was a heavyset woman with blonde hair and very light skin. She had a few freckles that dotted her face. She was beautiful. Idk how she let Ross treat her so badly.
She handed us plates with food that looked like slop. "It's okay, I promise" she nodded at the plate. As we began eating she told us a little about her. She was married to Ross and had No children. He began torturing her and when she begged him to get somebody else he began finding couples and torturing them so they knew exactly what he went through. His ex had repeatedly abused him until she got cancer and died. She told us that we weren't his first. This had been going on for 10 years. What would happen to us?
Finally she left. "I wonder what that was." Bryan says. "What? The food?" I question. "Yeah" "I don't know but it was good. How long do you think it'll be until we escape?" I'm guessing, months." I sigh thinking of how long We'll really be here.
We fell asleep to the sounds of Ross fighting with his wife. I think I'm going to help her escape too. She'd feel better If she left him.
