The Gentleman's Club

Chapter eighteen: The fall

"You need to eat." Leo demanded, his voice cold and detached, his eyes were rested on lips.
We were sitting in a large dining area at a emasculate table. The table was large. Come to think of it, the entire house was empty and cold. I risked a glance around and truly realized how undecorated it actually was; no pictures, no paintings, nothing. 
"I SAID. YOU NEED TO EAT." His voice was raised, he slammed his fist down on the table with a loud bang. I jumped. His eyes were filled with anger and his expression looked sinister. 
I took in a shaky breath, "I'm not hungry, I told you." My voice was faint and scared.
He huffed out, "I know. I know. I'm sorry. I'm not usually like this..."  he apologized.
From what I've seen and heard he's worse, but I didn't dare say that.
"Go. Go up to your room. Before I change my mind." He said through clenched teeth, clearly holding in his anger.
I stood up and stiffly made my way towards the bedroom that he called mine. My guard was following me, always remaining a couple steps away.

We reached the bedroom and he opened the door for me, I walked in and he shut it behind me and I heard him lock it. Damn. 

The mansion was immense and from what I seen it was located in the richer elite area in long island. I looked around and soon realized that since I was on the third floor. There was no way I could jump out without breaking something. 

I walked over to the large canopy bed and sat down. I could feel tears welling in my eyes. I quickly wiped them away. How did I get in this mess? I could I get out? Was candice okay?

I stood up from the bed and made my way towards the window, I looked out into the lawn. A wave of determination hit me, I could do this. I looked around the window and realized that it wasn't locked or anything. I guess Leo didn't expect me to try and escape. His first mistake. 

I looked further down and realized that below my window was a large bush. His second mistake, I laughed to myself nervously. 

You can do this cleo. You can do this, I repeated to myself as I slowly opened the window. When the window was open I already felt free. I ran back to the bed and tore the sheets off my bed. I tied the ends together as tightly as I could and then I tied one end to the bed post. I rushed back over to the window and threw the sheets over and out the window. 

I crawled unto the ledge of the window, hanging tightly unto the sheets, I slowly begun to lower myself. Holy shit! This was harder than it looked in movies. My arms felt like weak noodles as I slowly inched down. I made the fatal mistake of looking down, I nearly fainted. I still had a lot to go. 

I heard a small rip. OH HELL NO!  

I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE GONE TO THE GYM MORE WITH CANDICE! I cursed quietly to myself. 

I looked up to see that my life relied on a tiny piece of fabric that was currently ripping. I looked frantically back down at the ground and realized it would be a big fall. I quickly begun to slide down before it was too late. I managed to slide about another couple feet before I felt the blankets completely rip, leaving me to plummet to the ground. I let out a blood silent scream as I fell. 

I fell into the bush with a large thud. I pushed myself off and rolled over unto my back. I groaned. An intense shock of pain reverberated throughout my body and I recoiled in utter pain. I bit back a cry and my eyes shot open and tears instantly welled making my vision blurry. 

"Fuck." I cursed as I tried to get up. 

I heard alarms sounding all over. I willed myself off from the grass and stood up. I noticed that there were men runnings towards me. I limped towards the lining of the woods and hurriedly tried to escape. I didn't run fast enough; I felt arms reach around my body and grab me. I screamed in protest and tried to get out of their grip. They dragged me back to the mansion. I scratched and punched. 

Once they got me back inside, I was sent to a much scarier looking room. No... it wasn't the cosy bedroom I was first brought to; it was more like a dungeon. We walked down the basement steps and the guards brought me to the room and shoved me in. I let out a strangled cry as I fell unto the floor. I looked back in just enough time to see the doors closing. 

I lay there crumpled on the ground, angry tears streaming down my face. I punched the hard ground beneath me and let out a sob. I shouldn't have been stupid, I should have planned my escape better. I looked around the dim room, and realized it looked much like a medieval dungeon.
