Haim Fan Fiction- Never Look Back, Never Give Up

Chapter 7- It's Getting To The Edge

"You better untie my sister from this chair or I'm gonna call the cops on-"

Suddenly he grabs me by my jacket and shoves me against the wall. I wince in pain as I try to fight back the tears.

"Do you want to live or not? Cause I don't mind as long as the cops don't get involved love. D'ya hear me?" He says as he tightens his grip.

"Yes just please let go! Please, I beg you!" I urge, not helping several tears that are running down my cheek. He lets go causing me to land on the floor sharply.

He bends down and puts his hand on the side of my face as his evil eyes look into my innocent ones. "Hey, don't cry. It'll be ok. You'll be safe here" he says, almost in a whisper.

I nod, frightened and scared of what will happen next.

He gets up and heads towards the door with heavy footsteps. He turns around and points to us. "I'm gonna go and get a beer from downstairs, I'll bring up a glass of water for you gorgeous ladies. Don't say a word. Ill be back up before you know it, then we can have some fun eh?"

We both nod in unison as he takes one more stern look at both of us before leaving the room. When we hear his footsteps get quieter and then stop, we know he's downstairs.

"Este. I'm scared." I whisper, quietly sobbing as she is still there in the chair, looking lifeless and helpless.

"So am I but I'm gonna get us out of here ok? You just have to promise me that you'll hang in there"

I slowly stand up, wincing at the sudden pounding in my head and the ringing in my ears. I eventually regain my senses and walk over to Este, glancing at the door that is slightly open with a orange, misty light coming through the crack. I reach over to the knot in the rope that's holding Este to the chair and I try to untie it again. My hands are shaking stronger than before and the room seems to reach boiling point temperature as I start to feel dizzy and fazed. I untie the knot and carefully place the rope on the floor.

The thought quickly dawns on me that there is no possible way out of here than out of the window or to go downstairs. I look over to the window to find that it has been locked and the glass is so rusty that even if I attempt to push it open, we are most certainly going to be dead within seconds.

It's no use.

There's only one way out

The front door downstairs.

XXX

"Este, Este!" I urge, shaking her arm.

"I'm still alive. Don't worry" I hear her say as I breath a sigh of relief.

"There's only one way out and we know that this may be our last chance to see each other again."

I struggle to hold back the tears but I let a couple run down my cheek as she turns to face me. She cups her hands on my face as she says "I won't let that happen, no matter how beaten up I am"

I smile as I realise it is only a matter of time before he gets back.

"Come on, lets get us outta here" I say, nervously.

She puts her arm around me and I support her as she gets up out of the chair. We start moving towards the door as I open it with my sweaty hands. Creak.

"S***" I mumble. No sound from downstairs. Thank god for that.

We start moving again as every footstep causes my heart to skip a beat in fear. We reach the top of the stairs and I stop, looking down at what could be our death.

I turn to Este who is as scared as I am. I kiss her on the forehead as she smiles back, knowing what I'm feeling and that she feels the same way too.

We take a couple of steps down which don't make a sound. Every step is a step towards getting out of this hell hole.

5 more steps.

We take a couple more steps down, this time we can see the living room to the side of us. We see the tv and it's on a low volume. We also see a shadow of, him. He's sitting in a large armchair with a beer in his hand, laughing at whatever he's watching on tv. He must have forgotten about us somehow.

Each time he laughs out loud is our cue to take another terrifying step.

2 more steps.

1 more step.

We take the last step and things couldn't have gotten any worse.

Creak.

Este and I both wince at the sound as my heart starts to beat at a hundred miles an hour.

"That better not be you!" We hear him shout.
