Misery & Fate

Chapter 17: Estelle

I woke up after a few hours and checked our surroundings again. I didn't hear anything too alarming throughout the night. And Orion slept like a champ like usual.

As the sun crept over the morning clouds I had made a decision. I had to make a call.

I had to call him. I had to try.

I dialed his number.

*ring* *ring* *ring* *ring* *ring*

By the fifth ring I was afraid he'd changed his number or that he wasn't going to answer.

"Hello." he answered sleepily

I was so happy to hear his voice.

"Hello?" he asked again, sounding annoyed

"Cai...Cain?" I asked as tears filled my eyes

"Estelle?!" He asked astonished

"Yes! Yes it's me! Oh thank god. Cain I need help. I need you to find me." I said sobbing into the phone

*****

After I told Cain how I was kidnapped and I didn't know where I was, he promised to call the police and then he'd be driving to get me. We hung up with sad goodbyes.

I was so excited, so hopeful.

I walked around the cabin pacing as time went on. I didn't know where I was or how long it would take the police or Cain to get to us.

I sat back in our little corner and rocked Orion to sleep for his afternoon nap. I closed my eyes and hummed my favorite lullaby.

I accidentally fell asleep and when I woke I heard someone knocking on the front door. I grabbed our bags ready to bolt.

"Ms. Logan?" someone asked

"Estelle Logan? I'm with local P.D. My name is Amy. Are you okay in there?" they yelled through the door

I peeked through the peephole in the front door and saw a bunch of cops cars in front of the house. The police officer at the door was a young woman clutching at her puffy police jacket in the cold wind.

"Yes. I'm fine." I shouted back

"Would you like to come out? So we can take you home?" she asked

I paused before answering. I had no clue if Luke knew any of the police officers out there. For all I knew he could have a few deep in his pockets.

"No. No, I'm waiting for someone. I'm not coming out till he's here!" I shouted back

"Okay. I'm going to talk to my boss. I'll be right back. If you need anything please let me know." she said before slowly backed away from the door

I watched as she went behind the cars and talked to an older gentleman. They talked in hushed tones for a few minutes before Amy slowly walked back to the door.

"Okay Estelle. My boss says we can wait another hour, after that either you come out or we come in. This isn't your property and you did technically break in. So we have to at least get you out and check for any damages for the owners." she said

"Will I be arrested if I come out?" I asked scared, I'd never even gotten in trouble with the police before. Not even a parking or speeding ticket

"I can't say for sure. We will have to go down to the police station, to talk and figure things out. But hopefully we will get everything sorted out and everything will be okay." she said sounding faithful

*****

It was close to my 'one more hour' deadline Amy and her boss gave me when an SUV pulled up.

I watched carefully, positive that Luke or one of his friends were going to jump out.
