I stood right in front of the doors. And same as others they were locked. I stumped my foot on the floor. I doubt it would help me anyway. It is probably a basement and if i go there he can easily catch me so i have to find better place and think of a plan.
I turned around to walk away. But i hear footsteps behind doors. Angry, fast footsteps. 
It isnt Mason, is it? It cant be, i saw him drove away. Could it be that i didnt hear him coming back and that he went inside that room? Who knows what he is doing there.
As footsteps are getting closer and closer i backed away. I have to hide. He is going to be angry that i went out of the room. I didnt have time to think really where to hide so i stood behind kitchen wall, with a knife in my hand again. This time he wont be able to dodge it.
As closer the footsteps were my hart is beating faster. Gulping i shifted in place to get ready when he walks in. 
But as soon as footsteps reached doors there was a loud banging on them, and screaming. 
The person is screaming as loud as it could, and cursing whoever locked him there. Swearing he will kill him when he gets out. 
But that voice clearly isnt Mason.
Someone else is here, he kidnapped someone else. What could that person do to Mason so that he brought him here.
Screaming went on and on and i didnt know what to do, i wanted to get them out somehow but what if they hurt me.
But as i listen more carefully that voice is sounding familiar.
I stepped back in front of the doors so i can hear better still holding a knife in front of me just i n case.
And it didnt take long before a huge smile appeared on my face.
I dropped a knife and stood right in front of the doors. 
Placing my hands on doors and taking a deep breath.

"Charlie! "

Banging immediately stopped. 

"Gaby?"
"Yes its me. Are you OK?"

I never felt more relive than at this moment. He is alive, and i began to thank God that he saved him.

"Gaby, dont worry about me, i am fine, got a little bit of a headache but i am OK. Did he do something to you? I am going to kill him i swear..."
"Charlie, calm down, i am fine, he didnt hurt me, he locked me in the room upstairs but i managed to get out and he left somewhere with his car, but he will maybe come back soon, and i cant find a way out of here."

A tears were scrolling down my face but its because of happiness, i know that now the two of us are going out.

"Gaby, listen to me, you have to  step back a bit i am trying to break down the doors, be careful."

I returned back next to kitchen wall and waited for Charlie.
A loud hit echoed through house as Charlie try to break down the doors. I wanted to suggest to help him try to break it like i did the one before but with the next hit there was a small bump on the doors, and with next one he succeeded to make a hole and he began to punch it again and again till it was large enough for him to get through. 
As soon as i saw him trying to squeeze through i rushed to him and he grabbed my hands for me to pull him.
When he was safely standing in front of me i wrapped my hands around him. Squeezing him tight. His large hands went around me too. 

"You sure you are OK?"

He asked me again while cupping my cheeks with his hands and searching my face to see if i am hurt.

"Charlie, i told you i am fine, he didnt hurt me, he keep talking about how everyone else is trying to hurt me and how he just wants to protect me. He has been planing doing this for God now how long, he decorate house with the stuff that i like and he brought all stuff that i use and what not. He keep telling me that i am going to live here with him and..."
"Gaby, you are safe now, i am here. Right now what we have to do is to find a way to get out of here."

I nodded my head.

"There are bars on every window in house so we cant get out like that, and front doors are locked and i dont think that we can break them."

Now he is nodding his head while walking away a bit but still reaching for me to take his hand and follow him. I picked up a knife that i dropped. Charlie studied it for some time.

"Where are other ones?"

I pointed to the left and he pulled me in with him. He walked to the blade stand and picked one out. He took the rest of them and placed them inside a cabinet. 

"Just so he cant take one too."

He pulled me to the living room and walked around to search for something that could help us.

"You said that he brought you a lot of stuff here, right?"
"Right."
"Did he got you that thing that you put in your hair, umm.. fuck, what is it called.
"You mean bobby pin?"
"I dont know how the hell do you call it, but you know that small black shit."
"I know what you mean, i am going to get it."
"Just hurry."

I ran back up the stairs and into the room. I turned on the lights and searched for bobby pins. Opening one drawer taking everything out but they arent here, but i had more luck with other one, bunch of them are in there.
He knew that i dont know how to unlock doors with them so he got them to me, but having Charlie here wasnt in his plan and somehow Charlie know how to unlock doors with them.
I took bunch of them and hurried back downstairs. 
Charlie took one and kneel down in front of a lock and worked his thing. 
And in a short time he unlocked it. 
He smiled and took my hand again. 
Finally we are free, we can get away from him before he comes back.
He opened doors and we took a step forward but a bright car lights appeared in front of us.
