The basement

Escape

I looked around for anything. Anything at all. Like a vase or something. I looked around for what had to be half an hour and still still found nothing. I couldn't believe it. There was nothing. I thought about using my shoe, when I realized it was only a flip flop. Why couldn't I have worn high heels or something? I decided I did go to the bathroom since he was gone. Then I would try to get people to hear me from the door.

. I washed in the little bathroom and started my business. There was no mirrors and as I had nothing particularly interesting I turned my direction to the floor. The tile pattern was interesting. It was a maze of blue and white and had many patterns on it. As I got up and washed my hands in the little sink I looked over at the corner. I noticed that a peice of tile was sticking up.

. "Oh my god! Finally!" Maybe I could use this! I pulled on it and it snapped in half but came up easily. I looked at it. The tile peice had a sharp edge. I could easily use this to cut him. Now that I had figured out. Now all I needed was a plan.

. I went back and sat on the little chair in the room and started to think. I didn't take that long to get it figured out exactly what I wanted to do. Now all i had to do was wait. I soon let my thoughts wonder and I fell into a sleep.

Dream: I was running in a field. The field was made of fire. I looked back and I saw Eli. I ran faster and in the distance I saw Jack and the rest of my family.

.

"Come on you can make it!" They yelled.

"Melissa I love you!" Jack yelled.

I tripped and fell. I looked back and saw Eli getting closer. His footsteps getting louder with each step.

. "Jack help me!" I looked over at Jack hoping he would be running to my rescue, but he was not. He started walking away as if he had just given up. I looked back and Eli was getting closer.

"No Jack! No don't give up! No jack help-" Eli grabbed my arm and pulled me up. He whispered in my ear," Get ready."

Dream ended.

I woke up. I could hear footsteps. Was I still in my dream? No! I suddenly rememberd my plan. I ran to the wall and got there just as the door opened. He looked a little shocked at first. Then he turned around and saw me. His mouth opened a bit when he saw the tile in my hand. Then he started to grab the my arm. I sliced his arm with one swipe. Blood started to drip down Eli's arm.

While he was bent over I kicked him in the stomach. I bent down and shoved the knife into his chest. The look on his face when he opened the door was nothing compared to the look on his face when I won. I bent down close and said," get ready... Cause your going to hell." I watched him breath his last breath and that's when I lost it. I had just killed someone. I took a life! I have never killed a living thing before! Never even been hunting! What would my mom think? Wouldn't she be happy for me? Or at least glad I was safe? And what would Jack do if he knew what I did? What if he hated me? I wouldn't be able to live with that! All these thoughts ran through my head as I stumbled up the stairs. On the way up I sorted some thoughts.

Things I think I know;

I might be going to hell

I might possibly go to jail

Jack might have been looking for me

Things I know:

I killed someone

I am finally free

I'm never going to let anyone do this to me again,

And I have to see jack. .... And no one will stop me.
