IS IT A DREAM OR REALITY?

CHAPTER EIGHT

Contrary to what we expected her to do
Mrs. Carroll begins to search the house, after finding that we have escaped
At this moment, my heart beats faster and faster,
and my hands begin to tremble
What if she finds us?
She will definitely kill us...
I am sure of this
She repeatedly passing by near our hiding place
I think she searched every corner of the house,
except here where we hide
I don't know if this is luck or there is something worse awaits us 
Matt opens the door, and he sees her come out,
he holds my hand, we go to the back door, but we find it it is closed,
Matt tries to open it, but he refuses to open, and finally he succeeds in opening it,
Matt opens the door, he catches me and pushes me first to get out, I get out and then I turn to him, before his foot steps outside, she pulls him to her,
Carroll pulls him
I'm standing here, outside, in front of the back door not knowing what to do,
she closes the door...
Matt tells me out loud "Run... Rachel, run"
I run with all my might and say to myself "I have to find help, I have to go back to save him"
I feel fear and this paralyzing my movement,
tears are pouring from my eyes, I no longer feel the pain of my wounded neck, my hand, or even my twisted feet, which brought me to all this, I'm thinking about Matt, what is happening with him?
I run and run, cross the dark tunnel, I run down the street, the thoughts in my head about Matt and life, what it will be like if something bad happened to him,
I'm crying and praying she didn't do anything to him.  Suddenly I see a light of a car coming towards me,
I stop running, I stand helpless in the middle of the street, and the car is about to run me over
Will I die simply like this?  
I never thought of the way I would die
Now it is revealed how I will die
I didn't feel until I found myself between Steven's arms after I was unconscious for a few minutes,
he saved me,
I open my eyes, then Matt comes to my mind again,
I start crying and saying "Steven, he's going to die, he's going to die Steven... she caught him, I ran away and left him there alone with her, no doubt she's going to kill him..."
Steven says to me "Rachel... Hey, calm down, please calm down okay"
I say "I can't Steven I can't, you don't understand, I left him to die, I have to get back quickly before she kills him"
Steven hugs me tight and strokes my hair, as I cry
After I calmed down a bit
Matt says "Rachel, look, you have to tell me what happened, and who's going to kill whom, so I know what to do"
I'm trying to explain to Steven "I delivered that pizza to this woman, after that I found myself tied up in the basement with Matt, we tried to escape, but she grabbed Matt and closed the door, I ran away, and here I am...I left him there with her...she'll kill him if we don't hurry... Steven,I beg you to go back there, please "
Steven helps me to stand,
He takes his phone and calls the police,
The police station answers" Here is the police station, how can I help you?"
Steven says "Please, My two friends were kidnapped by a woman, my girlfriend managed to escape, but my friend is still there, she is holding him in the basement of her house, we are in the four hundred houses neighborhood, and this woman's house is near this neighborhood after crossing a dark short road at the end of the neighborhood on the left,
please Sir come quickly, my friend is in danger, she will kill him if we don't do something, my girlfriend will give you the details of the accident when you are here, she is in shock now, please hurry..."
The police station says "We will be there as quickly as possible"
Steven "Thank you Sir"
I waited Steven to finish his talk to say "Steven, I'm not going to wait the arrival of the police, he's in danger, you hear me, Matt is in a serious danger, and if something bad happened to him, I won't forgive myself ever, I need to go to him, if you want to come, it will be great... If you don't, just stay here and wait the police, I'm warning you, don't try to stop me... "
Steven says "...of course I'm going with you Rachel"
We walk together to the woman's house, I go to the back door, while Steven, went to the front door, he knocks, Mrs. Carroll opens to him, he asks her, about if she has saw us around or something, he just says whatever... to distract her
We agreed earlier, that Steven is going to distract her, while I will seek for a way to enter the house,
Steven, brought a small tree branch, just in case, she tried to hurt him in any way
I'm here again, in front of the back door, I still remember how she pulls Matt inside before
I try to open the door, but it's locked tight, I decide to try something else, I take a rock from the ground, I throw it towards the window, to break the glass,
Carroll hears the the sound of refraction, also the rock that I threw, breaks a vase, as I think, so I can say that this little rock made a mess,
She turns where the sound come from, and Steven takes advantage of the opportunity that I give to him, he pulls the tree's branch and he hits her on the neck from behind, she falls on the floor unconscious,
I come quickly, to check on Mrs. Carroll, and make sure she's still alive, she's breathing,
Steven pulls her away from the door,
We go into the cellar, I'm in the front, then Stefan follows me holding my hand,
we go down to the cellar, Steven tries to open the door hard,
And the surprise is that we find Matt lying unconscious on the floor of the cellar and his condition is worse than before, I do not know why but, the first thing that come to my mind is that he is dead,
I quickly run to him leaving Steven behind me, I fell on my feet near to him, I hold his head in my hands while crying
I'm saying "Matt please wake up... please... please" Steven stands there shocked not knowing what to do, Matt wakes up, he opens his eyes and says "Rachel... "
I look at him and say "Thank God you are fine"
I feel so happy that I have never felt before
I turn to Steven, he is still standing without movement
I say "Hey Steven... Steven.."
He doesn't answer me
then I shout his name "Steven... Come here I need your help"
We help Matt up, Steven carries Matt on his back, I run to open the door,
I open the door, to find Mrs. Carroll standing in front of me...
