Secured Sevenfold

Joe´s POV
“This can’t be right” I said, maybe even more to myself than to my sister. We both stepped into the room that the door had revealed. It was empty and silent, and it definitely felt too good to be true. There was another of those oak doors on the other side and this seemed more like a passage through, but I couldn’t believe it was empty. Would it really be this easy? I didn’t even dare to think so, but one look at my sister showed me she had faith.

“Look Joe, it’s empty, she took her guards with her. We wanted this, and it’s happening. We will be free again, Joe” Her smile was wide and I wanted to believe her, wanted to follow her enthusiasm, but the nagging feeling in my stomach just wouldn’t shut up. This was too easy.

Jacky hugged me and grabbed my hand, heading for the door, when it opened. We both stopped, there was no way we could get away in time, there was no way we would be able to hide. We would get caught in trying to escape.
One of the guards entered, he was busy on his phone and didn’t notice us right away, but the next minute he looked up and saw us standing there.

“Hey! What are you two doing here! You aren’t supposed to be here!” He ran towards us, but he was alone and we were with two. He might be strong, but Matt told me to use my head, so I did. And my head was telling me he was outnumbered.
I shot a look at Jacky and her eyes told me she understood me. She went one way, as I went the other, making the guard choose between us. He went after Jacky, giving me some room to go behind his back and kick the back of his knees the minute he wanted to grab my sister.

The kick made his knees buckle and brought him to the ground. Jacky punched his face, putting him out. He fell back and seemed out of it. In a split second Jacky and I looked at each other, amazed over what we just did. I knew we could do it.
“Let’s go! Quick!” I grabbed her hand and headed for the door, but it opened again, and this time my eyes met the cold ones of my half sister. Eyes that turned to fury the minute she saw us standing there.

“What are you two doing here?! You are already misusing my trust?! It’s unbelievable. You lied to me! Again! You just used me! Why are you so mean?! Why can’t we just get along!?” She started yelling, motioning her guard to grab us. He grabbed Jacky and before I could even think of escaping, another set of hands grabbed me.
“You will fucking pay for kicking me to the ground,love”

Shit!

Jacky’s POV
We quickly had to think of something, but I had no idea what... how would we get out of this?
Maybe we could start talking and say this was all a misunderstanding?
Maybe she would buy it, I mean she was a crazy ass bitch, but maybe...

I guess that were too many maybes... But we had to do something... and really quick, if they would find the guy we shut into our bathroom, we had no way of escaping and being free ever again.

“Joanne, there you are. We thought you would be gone much longer… Oh nooo.” Joe sighed frustrated and I narrowed my eyes on her, what was she planning now.
“What? What do you mean? I forgot something and came back, but why are you here?! I told you to stay in your room, why are you here. I gave you a little more freedom and you betrayed my trust, my freaking trust. I don’t like people betraying my trust, they have to suffer, and I think it’s time for both of you to learn a lesson.”
Joanne said and I saw Joe’s eyes looking a little panicked while the co-worker of Joanne got this evil twinkle in his eyes, oh shit.

“No, listen… Sweetie…” I stared and saw Joanne’s eyes narrow down on me, alright maybe a little too much, let me tone down a bit.
“Listen, Joanne, we… planned… right we planned to surprise you. You said you wanted this sister evening with us, with all this food and kind of things and Joe and I thought we could surprise you. We wanted to find the kitchen and the room… so we could…prepare something.” I said and just hoped she would buy it.

“What? Then what are you doing here?” Joanne still looked confused and then looked for confirmation at Joe “That’s right. Jacky and I wanted to surprise you, we thought you would be gone longer so we could prepare some decorations and think about the food, we just wanted you to be happy, nothing else.” Joe sighed sadly and I also put a sad face on

“Yes, but now it’s ruined and you are mad at us… we didn’t mean to make you mad.”

“I… no… oh don’t.. I didn’t know you planned something like that- I mean…” She looked back and forth between me and Joe.

I felt the hands of my guard getting tighter on my arms and heard him growl, I guess he knew what was going on, but he wouldn’t dare speak out loud while Joanne was here with us.
“How about we accompany the girls back to their room? I think you wanted to surprise them with the evening and not the other way around, wasn’t it that way, Miss?” He asked and I swallowed thickly.

No, don’t ruin our plan… please. I begged Joanne with my eyes, not to give in to that asshole but she looked undecided, not knowing if we were talking the truth or not.

“No, I mean… I think it was a really nice idea of you wanting to help me, but… I planned it and I wanted to set this up. He is right, you don’t get to do any work, I want to be the one to make this the best evening for us. I have a good feeling for this stuff, so let me do it. I appreciate you wanting to help but you go back to your room and stay there until I will tell you I’m ready. I will try to quicken up my meeting, so we can get everything started later on… But I need this to get settled now. So Derek will bring you back to your room, and you-” She pointed at the guy next to her “Will come and bring me to my meeting quickly.”

With that she dismissed us and I didn’t know if I should be relieved or not, when she was gone, we could try another chance to escape, but we needed her out of the house before that, or she could hear the struggle and come running back.

I was still a little afraid that the guy we shut into the bathroom was coming out somehow and grabbing us, but the bigger problem was the guy who kept holding my arm in this death grip.

“Nice try, sweetheart, but you ain’t gonna leave so easily. Now, get that ass back to the room and there I’ll teach you a lesson on how to treat a man, bitch.” He shoved me hard against the wall and then grabbed Joe’s arm holding her up and getting into her face “You, I will have a special treatment for you, that’s for sure.” I saw Joe’s eyes narrow on him and when I heard the front door falling shut and a car driving off, I gave Joe a short nod and she pulled her knee up with all her might, while I jumped onto the guys back, poking my finger at his eyes, he yelped in pain and let go of both of us, while doubling over holding one hand to his eye and one hand to his crotch.

“Fucking bitches, I’ll make you pay!” He groaned loudly and, I knew as soon as he would feel only slightly better, he would go at us again, so we had to took him out.

I looked around only finding an old looking vase standing near the floor and thought, better than nothing, Brian told me to use everything available, so here we go. Joe saw my move and tried to distract the guy, when I let the vase come down on the back of his head with all my strength. The vase broke into a million pieces and the guy fell to the ground with a loud thud.

“I don’t know how much time we have before he will be awake again, but we quickly need a way out of here. I have no idea where we are, so many doors and rooms… this is like a freaking labyrinth”I said and Joe nodded.

“We came through this door, let’s get to the corridor again and try one of the others before he wakes up.” Joe said and grabbed my hand in hers pulling me away from the fighting scene and hopefully out of here before something happened again.

Joe’s POV,
Jacky and I ran through the door, finding another one. We just kept running, hoping we would find some way out of here. This house was unbelievable, it was so illogical with all the small rooms, corridors and all the damn doors.

We were both out of breath, but full of adrenaline. I never even gave anyone a punch before in my life and now? I fought off several men and I did pretty well… We did pretty well… The plus side on this whole terrible thing was my sister, we really did come closer over this… My real sister and I, not the psycho one. We were headed for another door and I couldn’t help but think about the girl. I would like to say I’m mad at her and it doesn’t matter what will happen to her, but honestly. I feel sorry for her. She never knew her father, she had two sisters who she never even met. I would have talked to her I think… If we had met under different circumstances.

“Joe look!” Jacky had an excited smile on her face as she opened the door. We had finally reached the main house and this door seemed to give access to the kitchen. I looked around. Silence greeting us, beautiful silence.
“Let’s get out of here” Jacky said, while taking a few more steps forward.
I was hesitant “Maybe we should find a phone first, call Matt and Brian, telling them to come and get us.”
“We don’t even know where we are exactly. Let’s get outside first, we will figure it out once we are out of this house. We made it, Joe”
She was right and excitement filled me “We got out! We did it!” I clenched my sisters hand in mine as we both looked at each other, relief washing over us.

The footsteps behind us were only noticed when it was already too late. I looked at my sister and saw the fear in her face. The petrifying fear of knowing if the guards, or Joanne would find us here we would hang. The fear of what would happen if they found out. And judging on the heavy footsteps, they had…. Found out… Found us.

I looked at her for the last time and let out a whispered “I love you”

Before I could turn around and face my destiny, I felt an arm around my body and a hand on my mouth. I knew it had all been for nothing and I felt every little bit of hope flowing out of my body. It was done, I was done. I didn’t know what to do anymore. For a moment I was sure we would die here, and even though Jacky and I had promised each other to stay strong… for this moment, captured again… I allowed myself to dwell in that feeling.

I would never see Matt again, he would never know how much I loved him.

Notes
