Chapter Nine!

Antoinette looked at the large lock on the cage door. "I want to get you out," she said suddenly.

"It's no use," he said. "They key is kept in the trailer belonging to a man called Pelo. It would be madness to even think of stealing the key from him." He finished his sentence with a dismissive wave of his hand.

"What does his trailer look like?" she asked casually.

"Oh, no," Erik said shaking his head. "I won't fall for that."

She sighed. She hadn't expected him to. "What does Pelo look like, by the way?"

He turned bitter then. "He's the man who beat me while you were here today."

Antoinette knew what he looked like now, at least…But that didn't help…

Wait!

She remembered suddenly that she had seen that man enter a blue and red trailer earlier that day.

She grinned. "I know which trailer is his," she said slyly.

Erik frowned. "You're bluffing."

"Not at all," she said taking a step back. "I'll return soon with the key!"

And at that she ran out of the tent leaving Erik behind and ignoring his hushed cries for her to stop.

Antoinette found the trailer easy enough. She tried the door and amazingly it was unlocked. Once inside, she heard snoring, meaning Pelo was asleep. She began searching silently for the key. She was terrified that she might get caught, but refused to give up until she found it.

Suddenly she noticed that the trailer had fallen horribly silent. The snoring had ceased.

She slowly looked at the bed in the far side of the trailer and, to her horror, saw that it was empty.

"What are you doing here?!" a deep voice demanded from behind her.

Antoinette was about ready to die of fear, but Pelo grabbed her and spun her around to face him.

"You're cute," he said with a nasty grin. "Are you my nighttime entertainment?" He then threw her to the floor and started to undo his pants.

Antoinette was so terrified that she couldn't move. What had she done?! Why hadn't she listened to Erik?!
