Chapter 4:
I jiggle the door handle and push with all my strength it doesn't budge.
"ENID THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" I yell pounding on the door
"LET ME OUT!" I yell resting my head on the door.
I hear the bedroom door slam and muffled footsteps.
"CARL! RON! SOMEONE!" I scream pounding on the door.
I stand on the toilet and peek out the small window. Carl Enid and Ron are standing in the street. Carl motions back to the house and Enid shakes her head. He turns to go back into the house but Enid grabs his arm and motions to our house.
I pound on the glass
"CARL! HELP! HELP I AM TRAPPED!" I scream
He looks down and again turns to the house we were just in. Enid and Ron turn away to go back to the house and Carl follows behind them.
"NO CARL! COME BACK!" I cry desperately pounding on the door.
I pound on the door until my hands bleed and my voice is horse. I try kicking and ramming the door to get it opened but nothing works. There is nothing I can do. Tears roll down my cheeks. What am I going to do? I look out the window and try to find something to break the window. I look around and pry the towel rack off the wall and begin attempting the smash the glass. I make a small crack and try again harder. I make the crack bigger. The towel rack bends on my third try and breaks on my forth. More tears down my cheeks but I have to keep trying! I bend my elbow and slam the window with my last remaining strength shattering the window! I take a towel and try to push out the rest of the glass. The window is much too small for my to climb out but I gather a big breath and scream
"HELP ME!"
I scream again and again until my throat is raw.
Rick Carl Daryl and Machone come running out of the front door.
"OVER HERE! I AM IN-" my voice fails and no noise escapes.
I grab a shampoo bottle and throw it into the street from the two story window.
It explodes when it hits the ground. Carl points to the bottle and they run over to it.
"UP HERE!" I yell
I stand on tip toe to peek out the window.
Daryl sees me!
"Hey! There's someone in there!" He yells
"It's Skyler!" Carl yells running to the house I am trapped in.
Rick follows and I hear footsteps running up the stairs.
"SKYLER WHERE ARE YOU?"
"I AM IN THE BATH-" I yell my voice failing again. My throat is too dry to yell.
I begin to pound on the door again.
"Check all the rooms!" Rick yells
I have no more energy so I sit weakly kicking the door.
I here furniture being knocked over and the door opens! I am saved!
Daryl yells
"She's in here!" And Rick and Carl run into the room.
Carl grabs my hand and pulls me up.
"What happened?" He asks wrapping an arm around me.
I try to speak but no noise can escape.
He helps me down the stairs and back home. When we get there I collapse on the couch
"Get her some water!" Carl yells sitting next to me.
Carol comes over with a cold water bottle.
I drink until my burning throat is soothed.
Rick sits down across from me.
"What happened?"
