After dinner my kidnapper decided he would show me around the castle. In all honesty I'm making him believe I'm interested in all this while in reality I'm looking for a way to escape.
And I think I have just found my escape route. We had just stopped at a painting on some man who looks like him. Now I just need to distract him long enough to escape. But how to do that? Think Hayden, think! I need to try, I can't stand to stay here any longer.
Then an idea came to me.
Tapping on his shoulder I ask him, "Can you tell me about these other paintings?"
He grins suddenly at me with a happy glint in his eye. He turns his back to me and starts yapping on about each and everyone one these paintings. While his attention was else where, I chanced a glance behind me to check if the coast was clear and started to tiptoe backwards. I was being as quiet as possible. I must have been nearly at the end of the hallway when I hit a table and something smashed. I stared in shock with my mouth agape staring at the black glass surrounding my feet. Sh*t! I quickly and carefully stepped away from the glass and looked to where my kidnapped was running quickly up the hallway towards me. Cr*p! I dodged the glass as I ran up the rest of the hallway. The floor was slippy on my bare feet that in couldn't stop on time to miss hitting into the wall. I recovered quickly and rounded the corner. Picking up the ends of the dress I ran faster with the voices of 'Hayden!' and 'Stop!' rattling in my ears behind me. I chanced a glance behind me where I saw my kidnapper and several guards running after me.
I look forward again and notice the hallway was a dead end with a large open door there. I picked up my pace and ran through the door slamming it closed behind me. I turn and look for a lock and flick it closed. I jumped and screamed when banging started. I look left and right for something to give me extra time when I spot a chair high enough to place against the handle of the door. Once the chair was in place, I walk cautiously backwards looking for someway to escape like a window. But I spotted something better. Glass doors which I'm sure would lead to a balcony. With on last look to the door a head quickly to the glass doors. I pause before I open them and listen to what is being shouted through the doors.
"Hayden! Open these mother f**king doors this instant! I swear to the Devil himself if you don't you will pay!", it was him my kidnapper. Cr*p!
The door starts to crack as I quickly open the glass doors and step out onto the balcony. I look around to find away to get down. But come up with nothing. In desperation as I here the door open I run over the the railing and glance over. Sh*t! It's a really long fall. I hear a set of footssteps just beyond the open glass door. I try and climb up in the cold stone railing of the balcony but trip on my dress when I here his voice behind me. I scream as I start to fall over, seeing the ground race towards.
My last thought was, 'This is the end, isn't it?'
