Twenty-two

One week later........

Maya POV

I was woken up by a loud bang. I quickly sat up when I heard a second one. What is going on out there?

I heard shouts then more bangs, they sounded like.....gunshots?

I stood up walking towards the door, when I heard the latch on the door open. I stopped walking and stared at the door.

It then opened revealing Ethan. Happiness shot through as I looked at the familiar face. He found me! I was safe!

I ran up to him jumping on him wrapping my arms and legs around him.

"Never let go" I whispered into his ear.

"Never"

"Rise and shine!" Rico's venomous voice woke me up. It was a dream. I'm not safe, Ethan didn't come for me.

I laid on the worn out mattress looking up at him.

"Oh come on don't give me that look" he fake pouted. "I have a surprise for you"

I got up suppressing a groan. lately I've been feeling emotionally numb. I should be sad, terrified, riddled with guilt, angry or something. But I'm just ok, the only thing I'm focused on is keeping the girls alive. Finding a way to get them out is now on my list of things to do because I've given up on the boys. They obviously don't know we're gone, or they just don't care. Either way you never trust a man to do a woman's job.

"Right this way" he guided me down the dark hall towards the familiar room. "Choose a knife" he gestured towards a big rack of knives. I decided on a hunting knife because it's easier to use and you can get cleaner cuts.

"Who's the victim today?" I asked in a monotone voice.

"The woman you hate the most, if she were gone all your problems would disappear and you would finally have the man of your dreams" he smiled rubbing his hands together. "You're going to kill Evelyn"
