Amira's POV...

Silence,was the only thing I could here right about now. Dominic hadn't came to check on me,since he through me in this hell hole, and quite frankly, I was getting irritated. It's been three days..THREE! And he couldn't at least come give me something to eat. I've had to rely on some stale ass crackers in the closet all this time and soon I'll be running out.

I rolled my eyes, listening to my stomach growl for the umpteenth time. It was really starting to hurt.

I looked up,after hearing the door creak open, to see the one person I hadn't seen in years.

My big sister.

Where had she been.

"Oh my god! Adreen!" I yelled attempting to get up and hug her, forgetting I was chained up. I sighed in frustration, feeling my sister wrap her arms around me. At this moment, I honestly couldn't be happier knowing she was alive and well....and pregnant?

"You're pregnant? Since when?"I asked,rubbing her large, round belly. She looked to be about 8 months along.

"I've been pregnant for a while now. 8 1/2 months to be exact." She spoke with a genuine smile. I smiled back, knowing I had a beautiful niece or nephew on the way.

"Do you know the sex?" I asked eagerly. It was probably a girl since we have no boys in our family.

"A girl. And she's beautiful too. Looks just like you." She spoke softly,while rubbing her stomach. I smiled,knowing there would be another beautiful addition to the family soon. My only problem was trying to figure out who the father is..

"Dominic." Adreen mumbled,answering my question. I froze in place, not knowing what to say next.She looked up at me, eyes brimmed over with tears.

"I'm so sorry Amora. This wasn't supposed to happen. One day, we were arguing and he just got really mad....and I couldn't stop-"she began,but I raised my hand to silence her. She broke down in tears,and in response,I held out my arms for her. I wrapped my arms around her, tightly resting one hand on her head,and the other on her belly. She was broken and I could tell through her actions and the way she spoke. Dominic had no right to do her that way and it disgusted me that he did.

Me and my sister had always been strong women. It was in our blood. We got it from are mother,her mother and so forth. But there are just some things in life we can't handle. And we break. And unfortunately, this was one of those moments. I just wanted to be able to take us far away from this shitty place. Way back, in the back of my mind, I prayed that Michael would find me,but I never got my hopes up. I knew I had to get out of here myself,and I couldn't do it without the help of my sister.

"Do you know where the keys are?" I asked Adreen,signaling my eyes towards the cuffs. She smirked and nodded her head.

"I need you get them for me. The sooner you get them,the sooner I can get us out of here." I told her,while looking deep into her eyes. She shook her head and hopped up,rushing out of the room. I heard a little bit of commotion,soon seeing her run back into the room. She ran to me and crouched down,unlocking the cuffs. I smiled in joy and hugged her. She hugged me back and passed me a fully loaded revolver.

Smart move,sis. Smart move..
