Laeya's POV

It's dark, almost midnight, I'm guessing we're in an abandoned building because no one seems to hear our cries. I'm tied up to a chair surrounded by tall dark figures while my sister is on the floor screaming from her pain and all I could feel is panic and fear taking over my body as I watch them hurt her, my poor sister, all I can do is cry.

Feeling the wet tears as they fall down my face. I can't make out there faces because of my tears blurring my vision. The figures turn to face the direction of where the sound of doors blasting open as if they were kicked open. "You and M go check it out" one of them said, his voice strong, deep and commanding. I think he's the leader. Not long after they left we hear screaming and grunting as if there was a fight happening. The rest of the figures leave the room to see what was going on. As the door closed behind them, I try to calm myself a little, despite the situation, I feel myself calming after a few deep breaths so I scan the room and see a knife lying on the ground not far from me.

I try to scoot the chair over closer to it. I succeeded the first few tries but the then I face planted into the ground, OF COURSE I DID! I noticed the the blade is to my left, wait, I actually succeeded? I think to myself. After a few tries I finally fall to my side with the blade behind me. I grab it and cut myself loose. Ignoring the stings from the rope burns I run to Luna. I help her get to her feet and all I manage to say is "run." she nods in agreement and we take off. We hear the door open and the leaders voice screaming "YOU IDIOTS! WHY WOULD LEAVE THEM ALONE? GO AFTER THEM WHY ARE YOU JUST STANDING THERE?" We were running.

Running as fast as we can. I hear them as they start to catch up to us, "THERE THEY ARE!" Without looking back at them I spot the stairway. Without thinking I go up later realizing that it was a stupid idea to go up when we should of gone down but it was to late to turn back now. As we reach the roof, I hear the footsteps of the figures behind us, they were getting close. I grab Luna's hand and run to the edge, I can feel the panic sensation start to climb it's way back up my throat as I look down to the the ground. I look back at Luna and I whisper "jump."

And I jumped.
