Chapter 4
It wasn't long before it was everywhere. He pulled out the lighter again and began to crouch to the floor with it. I pleaded him to stop with the most powerful screams I could muster but he carried on as if I wasn't even there. The flame hit the fuel and there was no going back...
Before long the majority of the pub was alight. The knot was coming looser as I twiddled with it frantically but time was definitely not on my side. All he could do was stare at the mess he had created. Tears streamed down my face, the rovers would burn and I would burn with it...
Tony was laying on the floor still saying nothing and doing nothing. I wasn't sure why he hadn't left yet but all I could think about was getting out knot was almost undone! Nearly there.. Almost!... As soon as I felt the rope drop to the floor I made a run for it and ripped the tape from my mouth which caused a stinging sensation but if I wanted to escape I had to be heard. I yelled for help and I could hear a crowd had gathered outside as they were alarmed by the flames. As I was running to the door Tony wrapped his hand around my ankle causing me to fall flat on my face. I tried to get up again but he was pulling me back towards him. When I was close enough to him he lay next to me and put his arm around me as if he was hugging me and that we would die together. By this point I was out of breath and had to admit defeat for a few seconds before making another break for escape. I didn't hold back the tears, I just let them stream down my face.
I couldn't stay here forever though. I bit his arm as hard as I could and he loosened his grip around me followed by an "ouch!" I wriggled out from his grasp and saw something strange-looking about to fall out of his pocket. It was a gun! I reached over and grabbed it quick. This may be my only hope to escape as I can use it to defend myself. Tony rose to his feet as I pointed the gun at him. "Michelle, my sweet."
"Don't you dare call me that!"
"I know you won't shoot."
"I will!."
"Ok whatever you say."
I was so angry. I had my finger on the trigger and I took a shot but just in time I thought to myself, omg what am I doing!? And I pointed the gun away from him. I couldn't live with being a murderer for the rest of my life even the victim was Tony Gordon.
