Can't Escape

Chapter 19

::Alejandro::

"8...7..."I continued.

I stopped, once I realized Rain was already in the woods.

"That's a track star for you..." I say.

I hand my pistol, and a flashlight to Celia. And I got out a flashlight for myself.

"I'd rather use my bare hands to end Rains life. Then, she'll understand how much I cared for her, when she's struggling to take her last breath," I said.

Two minutes later, Celia and I left the house, and walked into the woods. But we went in different directions.

::Rainee::

I sprinted through the woods, dodging trees, dangling branches, and bushes, hoping that I would never have to stop. Marie began to wail, from all the shaking. Her cries echoed throughout the woods. This wood only make it easier for them to find me.

"Raineeeeee!" I heard Celia call, from afar.

She was getting closer. There's no way I'm letting her beat me.

"You know...I was in track, too! From age 12 to 24!" Celia yelled.

I slowed down, and decided to climb up a nearby tree, hoping I can see my surroundings, even though it's pitch black outside. Marie immediately stopped crying. I climbed about midway, and stopped. I looked around, looking for any signs of flashlights. I immediately spotted one, about fifty feet away.

"Where are you, Rain? Hmm? Just come on out, and I'll make this quick," Celia said.

I aimed my arrow slightly above the flashlight. Focus, focus... Celia stopped. I let go of the arrow, and it went straight into her head. She fell down, dead. I slowly climbed down, grabbed her pistol, and started running again.

It seemed like I'd been running forever, when suddenly, I'd seen a small opening, in the distance. There was a small cottage, with a small light above the front door. I ran up to the house, and knocked on the door.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Is anybody home?" I called.

The door swung open, and I was yanked into a dimly lit room. I dropped the gun. I struggled with someone. I felt the person yank Marie out of her carrier, and turn me over, on the floor. Marie began to cry, loudly.

"Let me go! Where's my baby?!" I yelled.

The person sat on top of my back, and tightly held my arms behind my back.

"First, you try to kill me, then you kill my only sister. And now, after this last thing, I will kill you, Rain. You hear?" Alejandro said, into my ear.

He quickly pulled my pants off. Then, my underwear.

"STOP! GET OFF ME!" I yelled, struggling to move him.

I quickly turned over, a head-butted him, with the back of my head.

"Aaah!" He yelled, letting go.

I scrambled over to the gun, near the front door, picked it up, pulled my pants up, and stood up. Alejandro also got up. I picked Marie off the floor, and I aimed the gun at his head.

"Rain, please-"

"STOP. Just...stop, Alejandro. Don't even try to reason with me on this. You made me get into a car accident. Twice. You kidnapped me. Locked me in a metal room. Whipped me. Kidnapped my best friend, and killed her. You forced me to marry you. You raped me, and got me pregnant. All this, and you think that you don't deserve to get a bullet to the head. Like you did to Chelsea. You think that I should forgive you. Ever since you even touched me, not once have I ever even thought about forgiving you. But... Thou Shall Not Kill," I said.

I shot Alejandro in both of his knees, to insure that he would never walk again. I'll never get Chelsea back. I won't get my virginity back. This traumatizing experience will always be remembered. Alejandro lay on the floor, in pain.

"Aah...augh...I can't feel my legs! You little bitch!" Alejandro mumbled.

There was a house phone, mounted on the wall, across from me. I walked over to it, and dialed 911.

"911, what's your emergency?" A woman asked.

"My name is Rainee Carter. I was kidnapped, back in July. I'm from Los Angeles, but now I'm somewhere, in Mexico. I'm here, with my kidnapper right now. Alejandro Marris. But I shot him in his knees, so I'll be fine. Just send someone over, to get me, and take me back to California," I explained.

"And you don't know what the address is? Okay, were going to track this numbers location, and we'll come get you, and the kidnapper. Just hang on tight, and keep the gun close. What is the kidnapper doing now?"

"Wallowing in pain. He can't get up," I said, nonchalantly.

"Keep a close eye on him, Miss Carter. He could do anything," the woman said.

"Oh, I definitely know that. Just send your men over here, so I can go home, okay? Bye-bye." I said, hanging up.

"Fuck you, Rainee. Fuck. You," Alejandro said.

"Aww...what happened to, ' You belong to me', or 'I love you'?" I asked.

Alejandro looked away. I looked at Marie.

"I will make sure that you never know this man, or have to experience what I did. Okay, Marie?" I said, looking at my baby.

Ten minutes later...

The police burst through the door, with a battering ram. I stood up.

"It really is her!" One cop exclaimed.(in the pic)

He ran over to me, and led me out of the house, while a medic rushed in with a wheeled stretch. Outside, another cop put a blanket around me.

"I'm Officer James. Are you okay?" He asked.

The cop that led me outside, of course. He was tall and had dirty blonde hair, blue eyes, and stubble.

"I'm fine I'm just glad to finally be away from him," I said.

I could hear the medics wheeling Alejandro into the ambulance.

"Fuck you, Rainee!" He yelled.

"Ignore him. It's all over, now," James said, ushering me into a cop car.

"I'm going to take you down to the station, and we're gonna wait for your parents. Okay?" James said, looking back at me.

I nodded. I once had a dream that I was found. That dream came true. I escaped.
