^Ethan^
I woke up tied to a pole in an empty room. I looked around, and noticed a quiet Lyri tied behind me.

"Lyri, are you okay?" I ask quickly, genuinely concerned. She rolls her eyes. "I'm fine, you should be worried about yourself. You have a cut on your cheek while I'm scratch free."

I twist myself uncomfortably to face her and I smiled at her face. "Perfect as always." I whisper. She shakes her head while chuckling. "Okay Mr. Flirt, do you have a plan on how we're going to get out of here?" She questions. I looked up toward the ceiling then back down at her.

"You know, this would be a perfect time for you to be a stripper. We'd get out of here in no time."

"Seriously Ethan?"

"What? I'm not complaining!"

"Nows not the time for jokes."

I shrug. "Worth a shot. Here," I move my lower half towards her, "grab my lighter and pocket knife out of my pocket." I say. She smirks.

"Front or back pocket?"

"Back."

Her smirk widens as she pulls her tied hands, trying to reach my pocket. "Lift your butt up higher!" She commands when she couldn't fully reach my pocket. I sigh and lift myself up higher.

"Hurry, this is very uncomfortable. The rope hurts."

"Oh yeah, I'm hurry so fast." She says sarcastically while just patting my back pockets.

"Lyri!"

"Okay okay, chill I got them."

I sigh in relief and got back into a seating position. I flicked my lighter on and started to heat up the knife. "What are you doing?" Lyri questions.

"Heated the knife."

"For?"

"Cutting the rope duh." After a minute, I started sawing through the rope. I've cut ourselves free and begin to rub my wrist; trying to soothe them from the rope burn.

"So what now?" She questions. I open my mouth to answer, but got quickly interrupted.

"You die now." Erin stood in the doorway of this metal room or whatever. I bare my teeth at him with a glare as he chuckled. "Not you idiot, her." He points behind me.

"I know that. Why do you think I'm glaring at you?" This guys an idiot. He rolls his eyes and super speeds towards me and pins me to the wall. "And you're going to watch all of it." He announces darkly with a daring smile. My eyes go wide as I start to struggle to get free. "N-no." I continue to struggle.

Lyri appears behind him and knees him in the back, throws him to the ground (causing him to drop My in the process) and stabs his chest with a sharp wooden stake. I look at her with shock.

"Where did you get the stake?!"

She shrugs. "I had time to look around. You guys talk too much before you fight."

I shook my head in disbelief. "Let's go home."

"Gladly."

I wrap my arm around her shoulders and walked away from it all as if it never happened.
