Escape

Set

I looked at her straight in the eyes. I didn't really trust her , how could she do that. She must be playing with me. It could be her fetish.. maybe . But anything is better than not trying and staying here. I'd rather die than live here any longer. It was my path anyway. To be abused to death by those men or for Marco to kill me, like he did to 306.  I stood up and nodded my head. 

" Good ." she sighed.

 " But we have to get my girls" I stated. " Of course " she answered. She started to put on her big coat and pushed her hair towards her face. She placed her hat to cover her forehead. Once she finished she started to tell me her plan. 

" You understand right?" she asked.

"Yeah" I nodded. 

" I'll be waiting 5 miles from here on a dirt road. You'll notice me easily." she finished.  With that she turned to the door and looked to see who was outside. She tapped her hat indicating that the hallway was clear for me. I heard her walk away then she encountered Marco at the exit. 

" Thank you for your time" said Marco. I didn't hear her respond , I just heard the door close. I went to the door and peeped my head out . I turned quickly to my sides.  I let out a huge sigh. It was clear. I made my way towards my left. I reached the door where Cat was. I opened the door and crept my way in. The room was dark so I kept to my left. I shut the door quietly . I heard mumbling from the other side of the door, I placed my ear up against the door. 

" So do I go get her?" said a man. 

" No leave her there till tomorrow night." said Marco.  Then their footsteps became faint. My heart started to race , I was starting to feel bumps on my skin. Suddenly I was grabbed by my ankle. I tried to shake of what was touching me but I couldn't . I started to panic and tried to run but I only fell to my hands.

  " Who are you?" I heard it say.  I turned around at the familiar voice. " Who -" 

" Cat ?" I choked out. It let go of my leg. I saw the figure get up and walk away. Then a flashlight was in my face. " 284?" she whispered. " Yeah " I said clearing my throat. My body was still tense but I felt a slight relief knowing it was her. " What are-" 

" I'm leaving. " I stated , cutting her off . " What do you mean?" She asked. The other girls began to wake up. " I'm leaving, I want you to come with me. " I restated. 

" You must be joking. " she said in disbelief. 

" No, I'm serious. " 

" How are you going to do that. " she continued. " There's a car 5 miles from here waiting, we have to go now. " 

"But we can't just- " she tried to say but I cut her off again. " We don't have much time to rethink things. It's now or never. " I stated as I stood up again. I looked around at the dark figures behind Cat. 

" They can come too."  

"I'm not going anywhere with you." said a voice. Cat turned the light towards the voice. It was the girl from before. " Come on , this can be our chance. " said Cat. " Yeah, our chance to get killed. Are you that stupid!" she snapped. " It's better than living here. " I stated.  " I like it here. I'm wanted . " she answered. The other girls started to crawl towards Cat. " I don't want to be here ." said one of the girls. " Then let's go ." said Cat. 

She turned back to the girl. " Please come with us Ana. " she pleaded. 

" NO! You guys can go get killed by yourselves" she blurted out. " You're the one who are going to get killed. Think about it. You're going to be the only left. They are going to rape you  to death or torture you to death. Would you rather have that!" Cat snapped at her. " We don't have time to argue." I said. " Who ever wants to come follow me, if not it's your life not mine. " I started to open the door quietly. I looked down the hallway. " Let's go. " I said before I stepped out. I turned around to see who followed me. Cat and the other girls followed. Ana stood at the door.  I turned around and rolled my eyes. She is such a fool. I kept creeping my way down the hall , making sure that no would see us. I stopped when we reached the last hallway before reaching Isabelle. I felt Cat tap my shoulder. " Why are we here?" she asked. 

" To get the others. " I answered quickly. " Wait here." 

I went to the door and opened it. It was dark and I couldn't make out a none of the girls bodies. I went inside and shut the door.
