A/N: ok this chapter is the turning point, YAY!
Um, it's pretty unrealistic, but then again, the whole story is so, just go with it!
And it takes place about 3 weeks after the last chapter, so one week shy of a year in captivity!(I apologize, last chapter I said 9 months total instead of 11, sorry for the confusion)
RPOV:
I can't believe that this has happened. Still, after I've known for almost 3 months I can't believe that this nightmare has actually happened to me! And seeing Noah's face when I had to tell him! I just can't deal with all of this, it's happening too fast! And what will happen to this baby, if it survives. Will it be stolen away and brainwashed all of its life? Or will it live the life I live? It makes me sick to think about that possibility. Why did this happen? What is the "reason" behind the horrors of my life?
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
The cold-eyed woman led me into a room with a single bed. By normal standards it was sparse and dirty. But by comparison to my other living quarters of the past year, it was a palace. I didn't question why I was brought here, just sat mutely on the bed. The woman walked over to the window and looked out then said as if speaking to herself.
"They never did heighten security on this side of the camp. And this building is so close to the fence. It's a good thing all the Jews are too stupid to figure out how to escape." With that statement, she walked out of the room, leaving me staring blankly after her. Had she just told me to escape?
I walked to the window, looking out cautiously. Sure enough, there weren't heavy guards on the section of fence that was literally ten feet from the building. And there was a section that a trench had been dug under, easily big enough for someone to fit through. I looked down at the building; I was in the very last room on the second floor. The wall of the building was made of bricks that were certainly climbable. So escape was possible. But how? And to where? I stood there for several minutes before remembering the cell phones I still had hidden away.
I pulled out Noah's and turned it on, Mine's battery had died long ago. Yes! It had service. Immediately about a hundred texts and missed calls began pouring in. I quickly clicked "view later "on all of them though. I had one goal and limited time. As I dialed the familiar number my hands shook.
"Hello?" I almost collapsed. It was so good to hear his voice, even if it sounded nervous and grief-filled.
"F-finn?" I managed to stutter out.
"Who is this? Is this some sick joke?" He yelled angrily.
"Finn, it's me." My voice was steadier now. "Rachel."
"Prove it."
"What?"
"Sing something!" I sighed, when had he picked up my dramatics?
"Restless hearts sleep alone tonight," I sang quietly, grimacing at how bad my voice sounded.
"RACHEL!" Finn yelled, nearly deafening me. "It is you! It's so good to hear your voice!"
"It's good to hear yours too Finn." I whispered. "I need your help."
"Of course Rach, where are you? Are you okay? The police keep showing that awful place but they can't get in."
"They know where it is? Finn I know how they can get in!" I described the escape route, and how to find it to him.
"That's great Rach, but I can't just call them and be like, 'my girlfriend who's been missing for a year just called me, she's inside the camp and she knows an escape route' they'll either think I'm crazy or a random kid playing a joke."
"Oh." There was silence for a second then he spoke up excitedly.
"I'll come get you! I can get in, get you out and then you can go talk to the police yourself!"
"Finn."
"Rachel, I can do it! Just give me a chance." I sighed; maybe he really could do this.
"Ok, but be so careful, don't come till dark! And if you get found, lie like hell and keep yourself safe!"
"Lie like hell Rach?" I could hear the amusement in his voice.
"Shut up, your best friend's a bad influence."
"That he is, so what should I bring."
"Clothes. Like real ones. Bring Noah some too. Um food, something like granola bars and water. Blankets. A flashlight maybe, rope."
"Puck's with you? And sure thing."
"He will be." I didn't know how yet, but I wasn't leaving him here. We finished the plans quickly.
"Finn?"
"Yeah Rach, what's up?" I wanted to tell him, really I did, but how do you give someone you love news like that over the phone.
"I, I love you." Yeah I'm a coward.
"I love you too Rachel. See you soon." As I hung up, I felt like crying, both with joy and with worry.
First things first, how was I going to get Noah here. I thought for a while and then laughed at myself. I'm Rachel Berry, I may be out of practice, but I am the original diva, I can get anything I want.

NPOV:
After the service, I saw Rachel running towards me.
"What's going on?"
"You're coming with me!" She seemed proud of herself and happier than I had seen her in a year.
"Where?" She didn't answer, merely led me to this building that I'd never been in before. Then she brought me to this really nice, for this place anyway, room and sat me on the bed beside her. "What's going on Rachel?"
"What would you say if I told you that your cell phone gets service her, and that we are getting out tonight?"
"WHAT? How?"
"I called Finn, there's an escape route right out the window! The police wouldn't listen to him, so um, he's coming and we are going to get out and then go to the police."
"As great as this is, did you forget the part where Finn KILLS ME BECAUSE I KNOCKED YOU UP?" My voice was rising on its own I swear.
"No, Noah, we have to get out of here! And he WILL understand!"
"Whatever you say Rach. So how'd you get me allowed up here?"
"I pitched a diva fit about how you're the father of my child." She replied smugly. "Worked like a charm!"
"I'm impressed. So now?"
"We wait. And hope Finn can pull this off."
"To waiting." I held my hand up for a high five.
"To Finn surviving to get to us." She added nervously as she high fived me back. I couldn't help but notice how weak her touch was, hell how weak she was. Finn was going to flip when he saw the shape she was in. I pulled her onto my lap, wrapping my arms around her and resting my hands on her swelled stomach. Close together, we waited anxiously for our salvation.
A/N: YAY YAY YAY! They're on their way out! But how will Finn react to their secret?
