Chapter 3

Laila's P.O.V.

When Laila woke up, she was lying on a soft blanket spread over a cold stone floor. She slowly opened one eye, then the other one. She sat up and inspected her surroundings.

The room was small and the walls were bare. To her right, there were two plastic chairs. In one of them there was some rope, and the other one was lying on its side. To her left, she saw an open door that led into God-knew-what. She felt fresh air coming from the doorway, so she stood up and went out of the room. She started exploring.

Michelle's P.O.V.

Michelle laughed at her. Ok, she knew she shouldn't, but her face had been just priceless.

She had been playing "Uno" with Kiara, while exchanging stories. Friedgy had given them the game so they wouldn't get bored. Kiara still couldn't believe that she had befriended their captor's bodyguard, but then again Michelle had a talent for seeming nice to people.

They were all serious, discussing who had the best chances of winning the game, when they heard a scream. They played their last move _Michelle won_ and run out of the room, towards where the yelling was coming from.

When they entered the room, they found Laila _Kiara's big sister_ with a metal stick on her hand, and a foot on Friedgy's stomach. When Laila saw them she stared at them in shock, and that gave Friedgy enough time to stand up and take the stick from Laila's hand.

'So, the sleeping princess woke up' Kiara said. She walked up to Friedgy and took the stick. 'Now, no more hitting each other, please. We all want to stay alive, yes?'

'You know this crazy stick stealer lunatic?' Laila asked in shock. As Michelle said, her face was priceless.

After doing all the explaining and everything, Laila seemed to calm down a bit. She still didn't trust Friedgy, but she didn't do any more attempts of trying to kill him. After some minutes of silence, Laila said:

'So, what's the escape plan?' The other two girls stared at her without understanding. Laila frowned. 'You mean you didn't make an escape plan, yet?'

'Well…' started Kiara. She looked over at Michelle, who sighted and finished her sentence.

'Help is coming. Don't ask how we know, you don't want to know.'

At that moment, the room became pure light, and the three of them blacked out.
