ESCAPE
(JAKE'S POV)
I couldn't stop thinking about my sister and daughter. As soon as we were thrown in here some of the soldiers laughed and mocked me. Jade reached and cried to be back with me. I wanted nothing more than to hold my daughter in my arms. Two of the soldiers, Mansk and Walker, gave me a look before walking away. It was like they were saying sorry. And poor Anna. My little sister was dragged away from me. She couldn't talk or scream for help. I could tell she was worried about her baby. She had every right to. I was looking at Norm and Grace. I could tell that they were both deep in thought. I don't know what Norm was thinking about, but I know Grace was thinking about her sister. Amanda was Grace's whole world. I just hope that everything and everyone will be okay.
I was in my mind again when I heard someone wheeling in a food cart. I looked up and noticed Trudy walking into the room. She had a smirk on her face. She had something planned.
"Hey brother how's it going?"
"Good."
"You know I don't think it's fair that these tree huggers get steak."
"No way, they get steak?"
The man went to check to see if there really was steak when Trudy put a gun to his head.
"You know what this is."
She then knocked him out cold. She then looked at us and grinned.
"Trudy how are you doing this?"
"I have some help."
Me, Grace, and Norm all smiled when we saw Max, Penelope, and Xavier rush from behind the corner. But I failed to see Amanda. Norm was the first to speak.
"Penelope, Xavier what are you guys doing here?"
"Well me and Penelope decided to stay true to our own moral standards. Plus I don't want my future brother in law to be taken away from his future wife."
"Xavier, how is Amanda doing? Is my little sister okay?"
"Grace your little sister is alright. Oh and by the way Jake your sister and daughter are safe. Amanda had them put into Anna's safe room. Which is completed by the way."
I smiled knowing that Anna and Jade were safe. I have a feeling that Amanda is going to be a wonderful friend that I can trust.
"Guys please let us get going now."
Penelope said trying to rush us out of here.
*Let's hope we make it out alive.*
(TRUDY'S POV)
I have an idea. A risky idea, but it would bring Amanda's attention to what her husband has been doing behind her back.
*I just really hope that this plan will work out okay.*
(AMANDA'S POV)
I smiled as I watched my daughter try to speak the Navi language. We were taking a small walk in the hallways trying to enjoy some quiet. All of a sudden I felt someone rush into me. I turned around and saw Trudy. She had a panicked expression on her face.
"Trudy what's wrong?"
"Amanda, we have to go now."
"Trudy what are you talking? Why does my daughter need to get involved into this?"
"There's no time to explain."
"I'm not supposed to leave the base."
Trudy ignored me and continued to drag us further away from the safety of the base. When we finally got to an exit door Trudy shoved two oxygen masks in our faces. After putting them on she continued to drag us towards a plane. I soon noticed my sister, Jake, Norm, Penelope and Xavier were also rushing to the plane as well. When my sister noticed us she looked scared that we were here. Grace took me in her arms and hugged me tightly. Before we could say anything gun shots were heard. I turned and saw my husband and he looked mad and upset. I shoved my daughter into the plane. I was starting to cry when Grace shoved me inside of the plane.
We were soon flying away from the base. Belle was clinging to me as tears were streaming down my face. I thought about my husband and how he must be thinking that I betrayed him. I was so scared right now, but I had to be strong for my daughter. I can't imagine what my husband must be thinking. He must think that I abandoned him. That I betrayed him and took our daughter with me. When those bullets were fired I feared for my life, my daughters life and my loved ones life. I held Belle even closer to me when I heard two loud groans. I turned around and to my absolutely horror I saw my sister and Xavier with blood oozing out of their abdomens.
"This is going to ruin my entire day."
"I hope Alicia doesn't kill me?"
I immediately went to my sisters side.
"Grace."
Tears were streaming down my face. Belle was crying into my shoulder. Grace looked at me weakly and smiled genntly.
"Don't worry about me Amanda, I'll be okay. Take Belle away from this sight."
I did not want to leave my sister's side. I could tell that she was trying to be brave for me like she always has growing up. I reluctantly moved next to a window and looked out of it. The pain and fear were quickly filling my body. And the beautiful scenery we're doing very little to ease them. Tears were streaming down my face.
*Why is this happening?*
(Sorry for the late update. My finals for my first semester at college took up most of my time and then I caught the common cold. But here's the latest chapter. Please tell me what you think and any ideas you have for future chapters let me know. You all have a blessed day.)
(I also won't be updating until the holidays are over. Have a blessed day of reading everyone.)
