Chapter 47: Make or Break

MELANIE'S P.O.V.

I can't believe I'm doing this. I open the cage door,  keeping the knife in hand. "Calm your tits. I'm not here to kill you," I tell Ian as calmly as I can. Ian slowly inches towards the door. "We're getting you two out of here. I'll suffer the consequences." "N-no....no! I can't let you do that Melanie. Escape with us! Kalel is literally pure ev-" "Don't you say those words," I say harshly, giving him a glare, as if to say "Say another word and I'll use this knife on you." "Why do you have the knife and you're not planning on killing anyone?" Ian blurts out, obviously not thinking. I sigh. "To cut the ropes on Anthony, dumbass," I reply, making sure to make my voice sound steady and calm. Ian climbs out of the cage slowly. "I have a plan, and I'm not going to repeat myself what-so-ever. So keep your damn mouth shut and listen. Whilst I do that I'm going to cut off your hippie hair and long beard."

IAN'S P.O.V.

I keep my ears open, making sure to remember everything she says. "You.." She points the knife at my chest. I gulp. "...are going to take this." Melanie starts to cut away my hair. "Don't get out of line though, I have a gun in my back pocket just in case. Anyways, I'm going to distract Kalel. You are going to sneak into the room and cut the ropes around Anthony. Break open the window with the same knife. Note that the window is hidden by a book case. But don't worry, I can keep Kalel distracted for long enough. You two can go, I'll deal with the consequences. Get it, got it? Good." I climb out of the cage. My feet take a moment to adjust to the hard ground, and for me to find my balance. I haven't stood up in so long...That's none of my concern right now. Right now I need to focus on getting back to Anthony. "When I knock on the wall, then that means in 30 seconds you can sneak into the room." I can do this.

Melanie leaves the room, leaving Ian with a kitchen knife and almost nothing else but determination. She knocks on the door and moments later, Kalel opens it. "Hello, what is it?" Kalel asks. She has such a softer, more caring voice with Melanie. But an even softer one with Anthony. "I, I thought I saw something outside," She tells Kalel, pointing towards the window. "Better make it quick, I don't want to leave Anthony for too long. You know? But your my best friend, so I'll make time," Kalel smiles at her. Not an insane smile, just a normal, genuine smile. Melanie knocks at the door lightly before Kalel and Melanie walk outside. 

IAN'S P.O.V.

27,28,29...30! I open the door quickly and rush to the open door, knife in hand. There's Anthony. I can't help but let tears form in my eyes. He's okay. Unhurt. Besides the blank look on his face, he's completely fine. "Anthony!" I whisper-yell at him, trying to get his attention. Anthony's eyes look up at me, still slumping in the chair. His eyes light up, but the rest of him his numb. None the less, it's still him. Alive. A single tear rolls down my cheek, and a smile forms on my face. Weird. I haven't smiled in so long... His jaw moves, but doesn't form any words. I run over to him and start cutting the ropes around him. "Anthony....I missed you so much...you have no idea," My smile widens as I finish cutting the ropes. The corners of Anthony's lips twitch, but don't move. Is he...alright?

ANTHONY'S P.O.V.

Goddammit! I just want to fucking say something! I want to tell him I love him, I want to tell him I missed him. I also want to ask how the hell he possibly got here...who cares? He's here. That's all I need. He looks so...weak now. I guess I should've expected. The ropes are all cut up and now I can get out of my chair...Well, not really. My entire body is numb. I can't move. "Anthony?" Nothing comes out of my mouth. "What did she do to you?"

AUTHOR'S P.O.V.

At that question, tears were in both of their eyes. Both joyful tears and sad tears. Ian saw how Anthony was struggling to say something, or do something. So, he came to a conclusion that he would have to get Anthony up himself. Ian wrapped one of Anthony's arms around his shoulders and helped him up. It was extremely difficult for Ian. He was weak from not eating and drinking as much as he should have been. Then, Kalel burst through the door.

IAN'S P.O.V.

Everything was going so well... "What the fuck is going on in here?!" Kalel exclaims. I have a knife...I can use it...Fuck everything Melanie was saying, I don't think I have any other choice. "I-I..." Melanie stammers, obviously trying to think of an excuse. I clench the knife tightly in my hands. At this moment I can make or break my future...and more importantly... Anthony's.
