Carly cried in frustration as her last attempt to escape Alcazar's grasp failed her. She had come so close to freedom so many times, only for her hopes to be trampled.

The day when she had unlocked herself from the chains that bound her. She made a frantic dash to the phone, only to be dragged back into her captivity by Ric.

The day when Elizabeth found her in the panic room. She had been overwhelmed with happiness that her prayers had finally come true, only for Elizabeth to pass out.

The night when Ric finally set her free. She was only five minutes away from being at home with her family again. Safe. But that too was a crushed dream.

All those times she had come so close. She could taste freedom. The liberty to walk around without a care in the world. She was so close, oh so close.

She looked up to see her captor standing there watching her. His mysterious eyes penetrated her causing her to wonder what was behind them. She wondered why he hadn't completed his end of the bargain with Sonny. Why she was still on the boat. Why she wasn't home with her family.

Anger built up inside of her as her mind once again drifted to how close she had been to being free. Grabbing the vase that sat on her nightstand, she angrily threw it at the wall.

"Why is this happening to me!" she sobbed in agony as she watched the pieces of glass turn into smitherenes.

He didn't answer. He just watched.

"Do you know what it feels like? Huh?" she yelled out of control. "My life was a vase. Secure. Put together. No scratches. And now, now its like broken glass. Desperate to be put back together."

Without a word, Alcazar turned to leave. He paused as he put his hand on the door knob and turned to face Carly.

"You can always glue it back together." he finally said. He then silently left the room leaving Carly to ponder his words.

Carly slowly sank down onto her bed as tears began to flow down her eyes.

"Tomorrow Sonny will save me." she repeated like all the other days in the past four months. "He'll come get me. I know he will."

Resting her hand on her stomach, she slowly lay down on the bed surrounded by fantasies of her rescue.
