Lion Heart

Getting out

I search the room for a way out fumbling and knocking everything in my way. I yell at my phone holding down the button trying to turn it on. Then i flop down with my head on my gucci miniskirt and let the tears fall. What if my parents are dead? Am i going to die? I fiddle with my jumper as big fat salty tears fly down my face. I feel something hard in my pocket i take it and there is my pocket knife, suddenly a spark of hope fills my body

I flick it open and plan what i'm going to do. I draw a faint circle on the door big enough for me to crawl in. The door is quite thin so it shouldn't be too hard. I shove the knife in and sure enough it goes straight through, after half an hour of this i've made a circle. I punch the circle imagining it my boyfriends... ex-boyfriends head i  break one of my nails and amazingly i don't care. I  slide through it and all the lights are off. Damn... no electricity. I run along the deck holding onto things so i dont fall off. "Mum, Dad" i scream. No answer. I run to the deck knocking a table over and trying to breathe. I hold onto the deck and look over, in the very distance i can see a sea of orange life boats. "No" i gasp "NONONONONONO" "Over here" i yell waving my hands, but no one can see me. 

How could my parents do this to me? A million questions race through my head. I block them out looking for a lifeboat. I search everywhere until... Bingo there is one left. I am about to yank it out of its place when i hear snuffling. I turn my head to see a small girl only about 5 or 6. "hi" i say "they've gone" she says "who's gone" i say "my parents she said "i was in the bathroom when i heard screaming. I ran outside but the lights had gone out and my parents had gone." you aren't the only one kid" i sigh. "Come one help me pull out this lifeboat so we can go home" i say. "okay" she replies. After about 15 minutes we are ready i lower us and the lifeboat into the water with a rope . The water is black and i imagine sharks swimming around. I shudder and draw my attention back to the little girl. "whats your name" i ask "ebondy" she replies " hi ebony I'm beth, You ok" i ask. "just a bit cold" she whimpers. I sigh and take off my jacket and put it around her thin body. She smiles weakly. "I'm hungry" she says " we have food but not much so we need to conserve it" i warn her. She eventually falls asleep and then so do I. God do I hope there is land somewhere or else we're dead people
