At Kevin's Mercy 2: Reclaimed

17. Escape part 1

"Shh, it's okay. Relax, I'm not going to hurt you."

My captor had been rocking my body side to side in a soothing manner like an infant for five to ten minutes by now.
His calm voice and the swaying had helped me calm down, and slowly my snivels stopped.
I felt him swift his body a little, the movement had me tense up again.
Anxiously I waited what his next move was going to be, was he going to hurt me now?
Perhaps rape me like Maxwell was planning to?
The sudden sound of his voice snapped me out of my fearful thoughts.

"Listen, it's a little dangerous to stay here like this. We need to go somewhere a little safer. Kevin's dad has a lot of guards. When they find out there is an intruder it's going to be swarming with them, so we need to leave before they do. I'm going to take that ball gag out, the handcuffs I can deal with when we get to my car. I think I have a bolt cutter laying around in the back."

He knows Kevin?
He's going to untie me?
Could he be a friend, can I trust him?
All these questions where shooting through my head when I felt his grip loosening.
Carefully I turned around to see his face.
Friendly green eyes in a sun tanned face with dark brown messy curly hairs greeted me back.
With his outfit he looked like a Canadian lumberjack, I felt a blush coming over my face.
He's... he's kinda cute.

"So princess... are you going to be a good girl and stay quiet or are you going to yell and get both of us in a lot of trouble?"

His smile almost made me melt, I nodded slowly.
Of course I'm going to behave, I don't want to get caught by Kevin's dad again.
Despite his good looks I still flinched unintentionally when his hands slowly came near my head to remove the gag.
With the pressure gone from my jaw and finally able to swallow properly I almost whispered the burning question on my lips.

"A-are you a friend of Kevin?"

"Yes, I'm Felix. But we don't have much time now. We need to go before they find out I'm here too."

His name rang a bell, I think he helped Kevin move once when I was locked up.
Felix got up from the ground and helped me up as well because my hands were still on my back.
A little confused I watched him walk to the other side of the car after he gestured me to wait for a second.
When he got back I saw one tied up and passed out Maxwell hanging over his shoulder.

"Is... is he dead?"

I failed to mask the panic in my trembling voice while I looked at the man who tried to rape me not long ago.
Somewhere I did wish he was dead for what he was planning to do to me, but if he was that meant Felix was a cold blooded killer and not necessarily my savior.

"No just knock out, I'm bringing him as a present for Kevin. I'm sure he want's to beat the crap out of this slime for what he was planning to do to you. I know I would."

Well that wasn't really helping with my feelings, but so far Felix has been nice to me and he did prevent that prick from raping me so maybe I should just follow him for now.
At least he promised to do something about the handcuffs.
Silently I followed Felix, hiding behind the trees, bushes and walls he pointed me toward while he scouted the area for a safe route to get out.
It was going slowly, because we had to wait a couple of time for a guard to walk away or stare at a different direction.
When we got near the gate I could hear Felix curse softly. 
When I looked up to see why he was cursing I saw a guard walking with big steps towards the seemingly empty guard house near the gate. 
Felix dropped Maxwell on the floor and silently sprinted forward, it was amazing to see a guy that big run as swift as a cat.
Before the guard was able to reach the door Felix already had him knocked out on the floor.
Carefully I got closer when I saw no other guards walking around.
Felix grabbed the man and started pulling him towards the door, silently I followed so I would stay out of sight as well. 
As we got closer to the door I could hear some noises.
Felix glanced around the corner and smirked.
Curiously I peaked past him and saw three guards tied up with ropes and gagged squirming on the floor.
