The only thing Jade could feel was Stanley's chubby fingers digging into her thighs as he held them apart, the outside of her knees scraping against the cold, wooden floorboards beneath her. She closed her eyes and waited for it all to be over, trying to imagine that she was anywhere else. But when nothing happened, her eyes opened again just as the door to the room flew open behind Stanley.

Jade was vaguely aware of a young man running into the room and yelling at Stanley, but she was too caught up in Beck's eyes which were locked on her own. His chest heaved as he breathed heavily from his anger and from his efforts of trying to break the handcuffs. They held each other's eye contact for a moment before Jade's attention was suddenly brought back to Stanley.

Stanley cursed repeatedly to himself as he re-buttoned his jeans and stood up. Jade didn't know what had happened, but she wasn't going to aruge as Stanley reached down to undo the handcuffs attaching her to the radiator. She whimpered as he grabbed her broken hand and pulled her roughly from the room, ripping off her gag as they approached the basement.

He dragged her back down to the basement and threw her back onto the cold ground, quickly re-doing her cuff before running back upstairs - just as Jessica appeared dragging Beck back down too. She also re-did his cuff before hurrying up the stairs and closing the door loudly behind her.

When the door had first opened, Cat had panicked and threw her sweater down on top of the pliers before she sat down on the ground, not wanting to look suspicious in fear of ruining their only chance of possibly getting help. After the door closed again, Cat and Robbie watched on as Beck crawled over to Jade, who was curled up in a ball.

Beck didn't even bother trying to fight back the tears that filled his eyes, he just let them fall down his bruised cheeks as he crawled over to Jade. He bit back a sob and gathered her into his arms, cradelling her against his chest. Jade's good hand grasped at his shirt as she began sobbing softly into his chest, her body still shaking from what had just happened.

"I got you," Beck whispered shakily, nuzzling his face into her hair, "I got you."

"What happened?" Cat asked, her eyes wide with concern and fear.

"He- he tried to rape me," Jade sobbed shakily.

Beck's chest heaved with a sob as he held his girlfriend tighter to him, pressing a kiss to her forehead as they both relived what just happened, or... almost happened.

Cat gasped and tears filled her eyes as she realised just what Stanley was actually capable of doing. Robbie's jaw locked and his fists clenched as he glared up at the door leading to upstairs, trying to burn a hole through the door and into Stanley's head. He shook his head and reached out for Cat as she crawled over to him.

Jade brought her head up from Beck's chest and her eyes met his, both filled with tears as they looked back at each other. Jade shook her head as more tears ran down her cheeks. Beck pressed his lips to her forehead lovingly.

"It's okay, he won't touch you again. I won't let him, you hear me?" he breathed, resting his forehead against hers. Jade sniffled and nodded, her eyes lowering to her ripped tights and bruised thighs, sending shivers down her spine.

Silence fell through the basement for several minutes as Beck and Jade calmed each other down. Robbie waiting until Jade wiped away her last tear before clearing his throat and speaking up.

"Umm... we have some good news," he announced, a small smile on his face. He watched as Beck and Jade looked over to him, their eyes shining with hope - desperate for any good news that could mean escaping from the hell they were in.

"I found pliers, which means... we might be able to escape," Cat told them with a smile.

Smiles appeared on Beck and Jade's faces at the news. They watched as Cat crawled across the ground and stretched out to where the pliers had fallen before. She grunted as she stretched out, only just managing to grab them before crawling back over to Robbie, examining the object in her hands.

Jade watched her best friend for a moment before running a shaky hand over her face, "So... what's the plan?"

Tori and Andre's stomachs did front and back flips as they sat in the back of Tori's father's police car as it sped across the narrow country roads - the siren blaring loudly. They watched as the scenery blurred past them, they weren't even sure where exactly they were at the moment.

As soon as the news about the license plate had come through, they had jumped into David's police car with him and taken off towards the destination along with several other officers. They prayed that they would be reunited with their friends soon.

"Are we almost there?" Tori asked eagerly.

David nodded, "Yeah, just about."

Tori turned her attention back to the window beside her and focused on the countryside zooming past her. Her heart raced and her palms were clammy with anxiety. She prayed that her friends were only a few moments away. She prayed that her father and the other officers would finally take down Stanley. She prayed that everything would all be over soon. She eagerly awaited the day that she could wake up and not have to worry about the psychopath who had been stalking them for months. She just wanted this nightmare to finally end, for her and her friends.

David suddenly took a sharp right before turning off the engine and looking back to his daughter and her boyfriend, "We're here. According to our map, the van is located up the road. You two stay here until we figure out what's going on, okay?"

Tori and Andre nodded before David left the car, pulling his gun out as he and the other officers rushed up the road. They watched as the officers disappeared into the distance and they could only hope that when they returned, they would bring back their friends with them.
