City of Thieves

Chapter 9: What A Fall

"Shhhh...."
Shelby put her finger to her lips and pulled out a hunting knife. She began to slowly creep her way to the room where the sound came from.
Aron, haven't a clue that it was Laura did the same.

What a fall
Laura thought.

If he wasn't gone, he definitely heard that. Stupid air vent, if i had seen that drop in the vents through the darkness i would of been free.
Laura got up and dusted herself off, particles of dust have been floating threw out the air. Laura having a strand of black delicate hair in her face, blew it away. She looked around, just an empty room luckily, or she would have probably fallen on a table or something.

There was a window but she went toward the door instead assuming that since nobody had checked the huge thud nobody was home.

She put her hand to the doorknob but stopped.
She put her ear to the door, and waited.
"Ready...one...two.." a quiet female voice whispered
Shit
"THREE!"
They kicked the door open smacking into Lauras cheek. And she flew back to the floor into the pile of broken ceiling tiles.
The girl didn't hesitate, she grabbed Laura by the collar and stuck a knife to her neck.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU"
"Who the hell are YOU" she shot back.
"DONT THINK I WONT-" she was cut off.
"Getting out threw the air vents, heh, smart"
It was the boy who had saved her only to take her away.
"YOU..!" Laura screamed
"Your smarter than I thought" he said.
"ARON!" the female said.
So his name is Aron...
"Look I know what your thinking, and your gonna be mad, but its a pretty cool story"

Aron and Shelby were face to face in the kitchen,
Laura, locked in her room again, but this time, tied up.
"Who is she"
"I found her wondering and got herself into trouble"
"So you helped her?"
"Yeah, i did"
"Thats sweet, but why.. and does Tatiana know"
"Yeah she knows"
"Ok, also just.... why?" She looked at him sarcastically
"She needed help..."
"Yes but now you abducted her, isn't that why she was trying to escape"
"Shes a nonestic..."
Shelby looked at him blankly, it was what Aron called, when she was 'loading'. It was when Shelby had just heard something so dumb, so ignorant it was like her brain needed to justify if she heard correctly. It was her brains way of saying 'What. The. Hell'.
"WHY IN THE ACTUAL HELL-"

Screaming was heard outside the door while
Laura was squirming around trying to break free, after a while she got bored of it so she started thinking logically. She started to scoot to the corner and used her legs to push her body against the corner and pulled herself up. She looked around, she could go threw the air vent.. no, she'd just fall again.

Laura sparked an idea. She put her arms under her legs and hopped over them so they were in her front. She started using her teeth to untie the knot, after a while it finally worked.
What now.
Laura got an idea, it was dark, cruel, but it matched perfect for her state, and she gave a low deviant smile.

"So its settled then.."
"Im not getting you more resources than usual just because you got a new little toy"
"Don't say it like im going to rape her or something"
Shelby let out a laugh.
"Shut up and lets go get her and explain everything."
They made their way to Laura's room and opened the door. Aron and Shelby were caught by surprise when they found Laura laying stiffly on the ground. With the rope tightly wrapped around her neck.
"SHIT" Aron said and ran up to Laura. Unwrapping the ropes desperately, with his hands violently shaking. Taking them off, there were no red marks, but Aron went ran to the kitchen regardless in search for something, anything to help.

He came up with a wet rag, and some water, the last of there water. Shelby came out of the other room with a pillow.
"Just in case.."
"Your to damn nourishing"
"Come on"
They ran into the room.
Empty.
"Where the hell.."
"LOOK" Aron shot back at Shelby to see her pointing to the air vent, someone had opened it.
"Shit.." Aron and Shelby ran into the room, looking in the vent, trying to squint to adjust to the darkness inside. "HEY, uh....GIRL...!" Shelby yelled

"My names Laura"

a low sickly voice said almost in a whispered. They both turned around, looking at what now apparently was introduced as Laura.
There eyes were locked on her, shocked, but Laura kept her head down, her hand on the doorknob, and then swiftly slamming it shut with extreme strength, making the room shake.

Aron and Shelby ran to the door but in no use.
It was locked shut.
