" We're gonna die. " Ella said amd started crying again.

" I'll get you out of here, shut up. " I said and tried to find a way to untie my hands.

We have to get out of here.

There was a plastic box in this room and I kicked it towards the door to look out of the small window. I stepped on it and look around.

" There's a clock outside this room. " it was small but I could see what it was saying.

" Is it counting backwards? " Ella thought what I thought.

" Yes. " I replied. " We have 32 minutes to get out of here. " I got down and went closer to Ella.

" I have to untie you. " I said to her and went behind her, always limping. Blood was getting out of my leg but I had no time to focus on that now.

" How will you fucking do that Shannon? We won't make it. "

" Just stop okay?! " I kept looking around for anything that might help us. " You know me too well to think that I will leave you and Claire here to die. " I tried to calm her down.

" I'll try to untie you with me teeth, there's no other way. " I knelt down in front of her hands.

" My fetters must be more loose than yours. " she said when I looked at her hands. " I've been trying to untie myself all these days, it won't be too hard. "

" Okay. " I mumbled and found the start of the rope. I pulled it with my hands and untied on knot. " Yes! " I felt excited with myself, I can do it.

" I feel it more loose than before, you got this. " Ella encouraged me. I found the other start of the knot and I had to pull harder this time, it was more tangled than the other one.

Pull after pull, knot after knot and my teeth started to hurt badly. But I finally had untied Ella.

" Oh my God! " she shook the rope way from her hands and started to rub her wrists. " Fuck, this hurts. " she groaned. I stood up, her wrists were black from the bruises.

" You okay? " I asked her. " Can you move your hands? "

" I'm fine, come here. " she said and turned my back on her so she can untie my hands too. " God its like a freaking labyrinth. "

" Find the start of the rope and untie and knots in line. " I told her what I did. Ella started untying the rope, it was too tight for her to untie.

" I got this. " she said to herself. Her hands must hurt so much, she doesn't have the power to do that.

" It's hurting your hands, stop. " I told here when I felt that she couldn't untie the second knot.

" We don't have much time Shannon, I have to do this. "

She did her best and tried not to groan at every contact her skin made with the rope. After what seemed like days and much pain for Ella, she did it and untied the rope.

" I did it! " she yelled.

" Fuck yes! " I said excitedly and threw the rope away.

I turned around to see Ella, she had a huge smile on her face. I opened my hands and gave her a big hug, that's the least I could do right now.

" Are you feeling okay? " I told her when she pulled away from the hug.

" I'm fine Shannon but you can't move to much with two open wounds. " she pointed at my shoulder and leg. " You have already lost too much blood, it can kill y- " she continued but suddenly loud noises started coming from outside.
