Miley's POV:
I sighed and sat thinking of ways to get up to the tile.
"Yo Luke! Come 'er!" I screamed. He walked into the room and said,
"Yes?" I smiled rudely and said,
"Do you think I could get a desk and a chair in here to sit in? Please?" He glared and said,
"Why should I do that." I smiled.
"I'll make your little phone call." He studied my face. I knew he was probably trying to read my mind so I focused on only thinking about squirrels. Why squirrels, I don't know it just popped into my head. He smiled in satisfaction and said,
"Sure baby doll. You make the call, you get the desk." I felt my heart drop. This was ruining my plan. I frowned.
"Why can't I have the desk first? It's not like I'm going anywhere." He studied my face and I focused on jelly filled doughnuts. He smiled.
"Sure thing, princess. I'll bring it in, in a few." I smiled and he left the room. Everything was going perfect. By the time he came and got me to call, I would be in Malibu! In the words of my friend London Tipton, YAY ME! He came back in with a solid wood desk and a chair. I smiled and sat down in it. As soon as he left, I pushed it under the vent. Then I put the chair on top and stood on them both. Balancing myself, I pushed open the tile. I stuck my head in and saw a huge metal tube. It was dirty and I saw a few rats. But, it would work. I pulled myself into it. I needed to find a way to get the chair down so he didn't now how I left. I sat on the edge and dangled my legs off, catching the chair with my ankles I dropped it against the cold floor. It clattered and fell with a crash. I quickly pulled myself into it and closed the vent. I felt my breath leave me. Its was cold and smelly. I gagged and crawled down the winding tube on my hands and knees. It must have been one or two hours of rats, horrible smells, and sharp metal sticking out when I finally saw sunlight up ahead. All the sudden, the vent started going downhill. I tumbled out of the vent into the freezing sunlight. I coughed and breathed in the fresh air. As I ran down the winding I heard him yell, "YOU'RE ONLY PUTTING THEM IN DANGER! EVERY MINUTE YOU SPEND WITH THEM IS LEADING THEM CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THEIR DEATH!" I ignored him for the moment and ran past him until I couldn't run anymore. I sat down on the side of the road. Just because I was away from Luke, didn't mean my problems were over. And as always, I'm gonna name my problems.
I'm in Antarctica with no money, the man after me is like a super villain, me escaping is not only putting me in danger but also my family, and...I can never be with Oliver again.
