C H. 4

(recap: I suddenly felt woozy, and blacked out."

I slowly began to regain consciousness.

My mind was foggy, and I was confused. I was unaware of anything that'd happened.

My eyes slowly fluttered open, but was met with a dark void.

I was unable to move.

The events slowly trickled into my mind.

(Back to the previous scene)

Ethan's POV:

Gray and I basically chucked her lifeless body into the back seat.

thump.

Grayson winced, and looked at me, expecting me to move her into a seemingly more comfortable position.

I shook my head. She had gotten herself into this. If anyone knew we had come to steal back what we'd lost, plus more, they'd murder us.

"You sure there's no other way to handle this?"

He murmured, looking at her vindictively as he rubbed his sore shins.

"Nope."

Grayson sighed.

"Alright. I'm gonna go make sure we didn't leave anything behind."

"Right."

I mumbled. Grayson left, and I was alone with her.

I crossed my arms and stared.

She had this beautiful glow to her skin, and perfectly shaped lips.

Her tight shirt was pulled up, revealing a small portion of her stomach. Her shorts were torn, but had perfectly fit her.

She was gorgeous.

Grayson comes back, holding a hundred dollar bill.
"You're lucky I went back to check,"

He said as he walked towards me.

He waved the hundred dollar bill in the air.

"We dropped this. Let's go, we don't wanna get caught."

I nodded, and slammed the back door shut.

I climbed into the vehicle with grayson, and begun to drive.

We had a long road trip ahead of us.

(scene ends)

Alex's POV

I tugged at the ropes, but they were thick, and cutting into my skin.

I winced, and felt a warm liquid run down my arm.

Great.

Think, there's got to be something I can do.

Shit, I put the knife in my bra as i left the underground room.

I pushed my arms together and squeezed the knife out to the top of my bra.

I strained to bite down on the handle, but finally latched onto it.

I used my tongue and pushed the lever to open the knife.

The blade hit my lip, and I grimaced. I could already feel the blood welled up on my lip.

I sighed, and leaned down, slowly sawing the thick ropes off my arms.

After about five minutes, Id managed to get one rope undone.

I then quickly cut the other.

As soon as both my arms were released, i wiped the blood off of my wrists, and rubbed them. They were sore, with rashes on both hands.

I had to think fast.

I squinted but could barely make out any details of the room I was in.

I followed the walls to a metal door, and peered outside of the small window that was on the side of the door.

It looked like a hospital hallway.

I spotted Ethan turning the corner to the hallway, and walking down towards me.

I panicked, and looked frantically for a spot to hide.

It was too late.

He opened the door and my breath hitched.

I hid behind the door, and he looked pissed as fuck.

I gripped onto my knife, shaking. there was no way to get out of this if i didn't make a move.

I had to stab him.

I jumped around and sliced his arm.

I obviously surprised him, but his reflexes were the speed of light.

He hissed and gripped onto my arms, squeezing them hard enough for me to loosen my grip on the knife.

I dropped it, and he shoved me back.

I stumbled and fell into the floor, as I watched him pick up the one line of defense i'd had.

He examined it, and then the cut i'd given him.

He clenched his jaw and looking menacingly at me, as I cowered on the floor.

"What've you got to say for yourself, princess?"
