Luke was still unconscious.His sleeping face peaceful .Id managed to unravel my right chain by,Pulling the weakest link apart .It had Snapped after lots of effort .
But I still had my left wrist and two ankles chained ...I shuffled over the bed as far as the chains would allow .And reached my arms through the safety bars .My fingertips brushed the cool floor .I pushed my arm through further .
My shoulder started to ache .But my fingers till scrambled along the floor. Then brushed against something ... Yes !
I pinched the key and pulled it between the bars.Grabbing the key in my right hand I un-locked my ankles and wrist.The tiny locks fell on the bed soundlessly .
I tuck no time hesitating ,pushing all the, Nightmarish punishments away and lowering the beds safety bars .They slid away quickly .Now for my leg . Carefully sliding along I picked it up and laid it over the bed .
Sweat clouded my brow ,my hands felt wet .Knowing if I was caught ....I shuck my head I had to get out of here . I pushed myself off the bed ,grabbing onto the wall .My leg burst with pain as I bit back a scream .Gritting my teeth I hopped round Luke .Then stopped . One key opened my chains .Was there a different key to open the door ?
I looked down ,his body seemed dead .
I swayed needing support ,scanning the room I couldn't find my crutch . Sitting on my bum I slid over to his side .And gingerly reached into his pocket . He showed no signs of movement . I don't breath .
Then with drew my hand .And dared to reach over his great body to his other pocket ....And pulled out a tiny silver key .
I slid backwards my leg protesting .Scooting over to the door I fitted the key quickly .Anxiety swirled in my empty stomach .

The door un locked .
I pressed my ear against the soft wood Straining for any sound of human footsteps .The hair on the back of my neck stud up .All the while listening,listening .
Then I held onto the handle and slowly ,hesitantly pulled myself up . My leg dragged enormously .
The bullet hole was not fully healed . But I didn't care ,I had to get out of this hell .
I stuck my head round the door .And gasped at what I sure .

The dominating smell of mould made me retch .The corridor was shadowy and stretched .I looked back at Luke on the floor sound asleep ,slumped on the floor .
Did I dare ? Would the risk be worth it ?
With split second desperation I crawled on all fours out onto the corridor .A scream echoed .I froze recognising it . Willow ...
