Chapter 9

Catherine slammed the door shut and locked it behind her. She then began to search for something she could block the door with. Catherine couldn't find much too use, it was either too heavy to move or to light. Her only option now was to wedge the door handle with a chair.

Catherine could hear Martin outside the door cursing and yelling at her but she ignored the fact that se had pushed over the edge and went through the house looking for Lindsey and a phone.

"Lindsey?" she called into the ark house "Lindsey where are you?"

Lindsey stood up from the floor in the guest room "Mommy?" she responded. "Mommy I 'm in the bedroom."

Catherine went to the guestroom and unchained the door and Lindsey came running out into her mother's arms.

"Baby are you alright, did he hurt you?" Lindsey shook her head "No, I'm okay"

Catherine stood up and went to the kitchen. "Lindsey we need to find a phone to call the police and I need a knife to get these ropes off."

Lindsey went in to the living room in search for a phone and Catherine worked the kitchen for a sharp knife. After freeing her hands she joined Lindsey in the living room after a few moments they found what they were looking for. "Mommy I found it" Lindsey called out and ran to her mother.

Catherine took the phone from Lindsey and turned the phone on. Catherine put the phone to her ear.

"No dial tone" she whispered to herself "Damn it" she yelled and threw the phone.

"We have to find away out of here" Catherine grabbed Lindsey by the hand " Come on baby" she said and led her through the town house. "We have to find a window".

Catherine and Lindsey were made their way to the master bedroom. "Mommy the window is boarded up" Lindsey whispered "Mommy what are we going to do?" Lindsey started to panic "we are never going to get out of here are we."

Catherine pulled her daughter into a hug. "Oh Lindsey you have been so brave so far, you have to be strong, I am not going to let you get hurt, we are going to get out of here and everything is going to be okay" she paused when she heard Martin banging the door "I promise"

Catherine stood up and went to the window and tried to pry off the wood. " Damn it" she whispered when she pulled on the wood and it cut her hand. Catherine squeezed her hand shut " Lindsey, I am going to go to the kitchen and see if there are any tools or something to help get this wood off the window, I need you to stay here and wait for me."

Catherine kissed her daughter and left the room closing the door behind her.

Lindsey sat on the bed and waited for her mother. After a few moments Lindsey heard a loud bang that came from the closet, after nearly jumping out of her skin Lindsey stood up and walked toward the closet.

As she reached the closet she heard some deep breathing and then she heard someone cough and call out her name. "Lindsey?"

Lindsey stood in front of the closet door, her eyes wide with fear. "Mommy" she whispered "Someone's in here"

Lindsey watched the closet door slowly move back in forth as someone tried to open it. Her body began to shake as she backed away from the closet and hid on the other side of the bed. "Hurry mommy" she whispered to herself. "Hurry"
