Imprisoned

chapter 37: Finally Out

"Mommy?" She cried. "Mommy wake up."

A tear fell from the young girl's purple, swollen eye. The light reflected from the crack of the armoir's door.

"Mommy." Her voice quivered.

Jennie had been crying for her mother for hours now. She woke up inside the closet after being punished for being a bad girl by her dad.  She tried to get out but for some reason she couldn't push the doors open. She didn't know that after her father stuffed her unconscious body in the closet. He wrapped its handles with chains and a lock to keep the doors closed. He left the one small opening, for the purpose of seeing her mom's cold dead body rot.

"Mommy....I'm sorry. Mommy i promise i won't be a bad girl again. Please wake up..." She sobbed silently.

No matter how much she called for her. She didn't move a muscle.

"Mommy"

-

Her eyes fluttered open to a dark space. She looked around but all around her were walls that stopped her from stretching. Jennie tried to shift in place but couldn't to the small room. Her breaths shortened. She looked around confused. Her hand's touching the walls. "Hello.." She called out but no answer.

Jennie's hands balled up into a fist and knocked on the wall harder. "H-hello." She began to panic. "Please. Let me out I-I cant breathe" The girl heaved and began to slam the walls.

"LET ME OUT!" She Slammed on the doors."LET ME OUT" she cried. Her heart was racing. She was short of breath. Jennie looked around the dark and small closet. "Help" her voice became softer as she cried silently. Soon her loud screams for help stopped. He hugged her legs against her chest. "H-help." She said in a quiet but hoarse voice.
She was hopeless.

Just when she was about to slam her hands on the door once more, the two doors opened. 

-

"How'd you get out?" Jimin asked.

You gulped. This is the part where you would be dragged back into the room but you were surprised that Jimin just asked a simple question.

"I uhh...the door. It was unlocked." You awkwardly answered. Jimin sighed. He closed his eyes as he leaned against the wall. "Should've been more careful. Then you could've had escaped without me catching you..." He said to himself but it was loud enough for you to hear.

Your eyebrows furrowed. "Isn't this the part where you drag me back into the room?" 

Jimin gulped. "It was but.." He then looked at you. The hall was quiet a you waited for him to continue. But then he looked away. Jimin peered into the hall. "Getting Jennie back is more important right now." 

You took a deep breath and nodded. 

"Can't you call her brother? Namjoon can easily slam the door down." 

"That's exactly why I'm not telling him. If he finds out Jennie is gone he will do whatever it takes to get her back without thinking about the consequences." He looked back at you. "We both know what that girl did to Mr. Lee. We don't know what she's capable of and we can't risk it" 

Weird. When you first met Jimin he was a huge risk taker. He even risked getting his own gang getting caught by taking you in hostage. 

Jimin suddenly walked the opposite way from where Jennie was currently held captive. Your eyes widened. You caught up to Jimin and stopped him in his tracks. "Wait" 

"What"

"Y-your'e just gonna leave her here? Where are you going?" 

"You saw the cops downstairs. This is a perfect opportunity."
