Chapter 11: Desperate Escape

The guard in charge of watching the remaining two hostages smirked to himself. He couldn't help but continue to look at the older of the two; with her exposed breasts he had the perfect view.

'Even better, all her futile struggling is making those sexy melons bounce.' He thought gleefully.

Lydia however couldn't care less that her struggling was making her breasts move around so much. She was too busy focused on getting free. Behind the tape covering her mouth she smirked as finally her struggles paid off. The tape around her wrists had become twisted and she was able to slip her hands free. She then moved her shoulders so her breasts pushed together, catching the guard's eye. He smirked and began to approach her; she then lashed out, striking with her feet and catching his groin. He sank to his knees in agony and she seized the initiative, managing to retrieve his knife form its holster. She quickly killed him before he could retaliate and cut the rest of the tape off her before removing the tape from her mouth. She immediately fixed her dress and pulled her underwear back up, so she was no longer exposed in any way. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned to her daughter and began cutting her free, removing the tape from her mouth too.

"Mom." Shayla choked out before her mother embraced her.

Lydia held her daughter close. "It's okay Shayla, we're free; let's go, we'll find our stuff and rescue Cashmere, then we can find a way out and get to the safe house, get you treated, then we get outta here."

Shayla nodded and composed herself before they both stood up, ready to escape.

They edged towards the door of the room, Lydia was still armed with the knife; they had taken the one she held in her boot. She carefully opened the door and looked out, nobody was around so she nodded to Shayla and they both sneaked out of the room. They advanced slowly down the corridor; they soon found a door left ajar. They entered cautiously, expecting danger or a trap. Instead however they got lucky as they found their missing equipment, along with Cashmere's including the radio and homing beacon. Shayla and Lydia both nodded to each other and got themselves fully equipped; even grabbing some spare guns. They grabbed Cashmere's stuff too and left the room, more ready to face what lay ahead this time.

"What do you think…they're doing to her?" Shayla asked hesitantly.

Lydia bit her lip. "I don't really want to think about it; let's just find her and get her out."

Shayla nodded and they continued to the end of the corridor and turned the corner, into the next one. They tried any doors they came across; working their way to the staircase and downstairs, all the doors were locked however. As they reached the ground floor however they saw a door open and took cover in the darkened alcove beneath the stairs. They saw two of the men walking towards the stairs; they were talking about Cashmere and the horrific things they had done to her, Lydia's worst fears had been realized.

Once the coast was clear Lydia motioned for Shayla to follow her. They continued and entered the room the men had left. They both froze; Cashmere had been blindfolded again; her gag was still in place, she was tied to some sort of table, spread-eagled. Worse than all that, she was completely naked and from the blood coming from between her legs, had clearly been raped. She froze, obviously thinking more soldiers had come to claim her. Lydia nodded to Shayla and they hurried forwards, quickly freeing her. Cashmere stared at them in shock.

"You…You…" She gasped; clearly trying to hold back tears, but on the verge of breaking.

Lydia nodded. "Yes we're here; it's alright. Where are your clothes?"

Cashmere bowed her head. "They destroyed them…I, I don't have anything left…"

Shayla then stepped forwards with a bundle of clothes she found in the store room.

"Here, use these."

Cashmere managed a small smile and nodded; however it was clear she had been injured during the rapes she had suffered. She could barely stand, so Lydia and Shayla had to help her get dressed. Soon she had the clothes on; a pair of black pants, a simple grey T-shirt; white socks and black boots. Lydia then pulled Cashmere's arm around her shoulders and wrapped her other arm around her waist.

"Just hold on to me, we'll get you out of here; we're heading for our safe house, just keep it together for a little longer."

Cashmere nodded and the trio left the room. They heard the shouts and knew their escape had been discovered; they quickly left the house and hurried; with Shayla taking the lead, clearing out any obstacle, guard or B.O.W. in their path.

Their progress was slow but steady and finally, as the sun set and night fell; they reached their safe house. Thankfully it had not been breached, so they were able to get inside and barricade it at once. Lydia set Cashmere down on one of the beds and got to work, treating her injuries as best she could with the supplies they had. Once that was done Cashmere did her best to sleep; knowing it wouldn't be easy, but trying hard to stay strong. Lydia then turned her attention to Shayla.

"Let's see that bite." She said softly.

Shayla nodded and allowed her mother to examine, clean and dress the wound. Once the wound was treated Lydia retrieved the green vial and set it in the syringe. Shayla bit her lip and nodded. Lydia gave her a sad smile; her daughter had always hated needles. She gave the injection and checked her viral scanner and was relieved to see her daughter's infection rate drop to zero. The immediate danger was past for now. All they could do was rest and continue with their plan tomorrow. Lydia lay down on the other bed, pulled her daughter close and held her. They both drifted off into a fitful sleep; hoping that tomorrow would see them escape the nightmare, before it was too late.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
