Anais

I limped out of bed, keeping my weight on one foot careful not to hurt myself.

I heard Pietro and my father in the office so I know that they left Grayson alone to stir. Probably told him they had someone he cared for. That was always there plan, send in Pietro to seem like an amateur torturer then dad comes in and makes you question everything.

I made my way down the steps, whimpering everytime I put even a little bit of pressure on my injured leg. When I finally made it to the basement I prepared myself for what was about to happen.

Once I let Grayson out and my dad looked through the cameras and finds out it was me I was going to pay dearly.

But I'll take some temporary pain if it meant I'd be gaining my freedom. I don't even know if Grayson and them will forgive me, I hope they do, I hope this makes things right.

I found the room by opening random doors. They were all mostly empty, the halls in the whole place were mostly empty. Dad trusts almost no one now.

I opened the finally door revealing Grayson tied to a chair, his head bowed.

"Grayson?" I quickly limped over to him, doing my best to ignore the pain.

He looked up at me his eyes going wide.

"Can you walk?" I asked taking in his appearance, what did they do you? I grabbed a hammer off the floor to remove the nail. "I'm sorry" I apologized for the pain I was about to cause.

He groaned as I pulled out the nail. "Can you walk, Grayson?"

"Y-Yea" he answer looking at me skeptically. "What is this? Where is Maya?"

"Maya isn't here, we only have you. But you need to run, okay?" I said as I undid his restraints.

"You're letting me go?" He asked as I finished up. "This is a trick"

"No, it isn't" my eyes teared up. "You have to run now, just please please come back for me. Don't leave me with him, he's a monster" I begged.

He looked at the open door before looking at me. "I'll try" he took off running as I let the sobs fall from my mouth. I've done all I can, now all I can do is wait.

Gripping the bloody arm of the chair pulling myself up off the ground with a wince. If I can manage to get myself back upstairs, I'll be able to rest in my bed before I'm thrown down here.

I stepped out of the room looking behind me to check if the coast was clear.

I thought I was clear but I faced forward and came face to face with Pietro.

"Qué haces aquí?" He asks and I hold back the urge to roll my eyes. I don't even have to pretend to be my normal bitchy self, Pietro brings out the worst in me. Boot licker.

"Looking for my dad" I lied effortlessly.

"He's not here" he looked around. "You should be in bed"

"Escort me why don't you?" I offered him my hand. He's not totally useless.
