A year with my kidnapper

2

When I woke up again there was another tray of food in front of me while Beatrix was just finishing hers.

"How long was I out?" I asked blinking with a massive headache

"Couple of hours. I think it's the next day" groaning Beatrix came over "Here let me help" she said grabbing the fork and scooping what seemed like eggs and feeding me. With the muzzle, it was hard since there were few inches between the muzzle and my mouth.

"What happened to that guy's finger?" I asked between bites Beatrix looked down

"I think they took it when they locked you up," she said giving me another bite of food.

"That probably wasn't the smartest idea was it?" I asked

"Well on the bright side, they might be more focused on one of us than the both of us"

"True. I still haven't figured out a way to escape" I told her

"Maybe I could be the eyes and you the brain"

"I guess" the man with the food came back. Retrieving the trays and then leaving. As on cue, Beatrix got up looking all around for some way out.

This cycle continued for several more days. Periodically getting fed, going to the bathroom, and then sitting around thinking of ways to get out. The only people we saw were the man who brought us food. 

"How many days do you think we've been here?" Beatrix asked

"At least a week, I would guess" I responded monotone and tired. Just then Beatrix jumped up "What is it?"

"There! Right there! Don't you see it?" she muttered hushed

"What? What is it?" I turned my head as far as I could

"A vent. There's a vent over there. We could use that to escape" she pointed to a vent cover that was attached to a giant cubed tube that was on the ceiling leading out of the basement.

"If one of us can get up there then they'll be able to pull the other up"

"Great! After we get out of here, we'll head toward the vent and go out that way" she planned out

"Let's just hope it's big enough to fit both of us" I stated.

We planned to escape right after we got lunch. As always they still didn't untie or unmuzzle me so Beatrix had to feed me

'This feels inhuman' I thought as she fed me. When the man left we instantly started our plan. I had been able to fray the rope enough to break it. Beatrix used the knife we had to cut the muzzle from me. With me free, I started picking the lock of the cage with the fork points. The lock popped open pretty quickly, slowly we opened the door so it wouldn't creak and ran toward the vent. With Beatrix's idea, I cheerleader lifted her to the vent where she went inside and dropped half of the rope I had frayed off to get me up there faster. Pulling the rope up we closed the vent and quietly moved through it.

We had only turned twice before alarms went off everywhere and we heard yelling. They noticed we had escaped and were looking for us.

"We need to be careful" I whispered to Beatrix who nodded as she lead the way. We came into the main area, it was a mansion. Beneath us, we could hear men running up and down the halls while yelling different commands and sometimes in different languages. As we trudged on we came into a room that seemed to be a male's room. Deciding this was a good stop we got out of the vents. Beatrix closed the door to the room while I rummaged through this man's drawers looking for something anything we could use.

"Check the bathroom" I whispered to Beatrix who ran to the bathroom.

"Come on, come on there has to be something here" I muttered throwing stuff out of this person's bedside drawers until I found a handgun. Grabbing it I checked the ammunition to see if it was loaded. Putting the gun down my bra I searched the other drawers.
