Trixie
“They aren’t coming. I even said the same thing in my message to them and nothing. We’re going to be stuck here forever. They’ll never find us. I can’t do this much longer it’s just too much,” Khloi cries, frustrated over our situation. I completely understand her frustration and I search for a way to reassure her that we will get out of here.
“I don’t even know, Khloi. You could be right but I’ve got to have faith that the message got to them,” I mumble through a foggy brain.
It’s taking everything in me to get those words out. I’ve had an infection set in over the last couple of days. I don’t know how to tell her that if they don’t show up soon I'll be leaving her alone.
“Trixie, are you okay? Be honest with me, you haven’t looked good in a couple of days,” she whispers.
“I don’t know truthfully. I’m not feeling well at all. We just have to keep our heads up. They are coming, I know it. I know in my soul that they are going to get us out of here,” I whisper.
I tilt my head back taking in the warm sun as the breeze kisses my skin. The feeling of happiness and contentedness flow through me. A smile stretches across my face when I feel the warm arms wrap around my waist from the back.
“What has you smiling like that, my Tiny?” Ghost whispers in my ear
“Enjoying being at peace,” I tell him turning in his arms and wrapping my hands around his neck.
Ghost just smiles before kissing me hard on the lips. I tangle my hands in his hair, forcing the kiss deeper. Ghost pulls back grinning.
“You have to wake up now, my Tiny,” Ghost whispers.
“I don’t want to. I want to stay right here with you forever,” I pout.
“Tiny…” Rat-Tat-Tat, Rat-Tat-tat
I step back looking at Ghost, “What did you say?”
He opens his mouth… Rat-Tat-Tat, Rat-Tat-tat.
I sit up gasping at the pain in my ribs. I look around to see Khloi huddled as far from the door as possible.
“What’s going on?” I ask her.
Khloi just looks at me with tears streaming down her face and shakes her head. That’s when I hear it and realize it wasn't just in my dreams.
Rat-Tat-Tat, Rat-Tat-Tat!
“That’s gunshots,” I whisper knowing I look crazy.
Rat-Tat-Tat, Rat-Tat-tat
“That’s fucking gunshots! They’re here, Khloi, I just know it. That’s my brother and his team!” I nearly shout at her.
“You don’t know that, Trixie. That could just be another set of bad guys. To do worse things to us than what’s been done now,” Khloi says, tears racing down her cheeks.
“No, it’s them I know it’s them. Get ready Khloi we’ll have to move quickly. Head down and do what they say.” I tell her getting into a crouching position ready to move when the guys get through the door.
Another round of shots goes off right outside of the door. I hold my breath not willing to breathe with the fear that I might still be dreaming. Everything goes quiet for what feels like an eternity but I know it’s only a few seconds when the door bursts open.
Khloi screams and covers her head. I move as close to her as I can as a very large masked man makes his way through the door. I stay crouched ready to fight this person with everything that I have for Khloi and me.
“Is she there?” Is asked in a timber that slides over me like butter. I knew he would get it and come for us.
“Ghost?” I whisper too afraid that he’ll just vanish like a Ghost.
“Damn it, Ghost, we gotta keep moving. Is that room clear or not?” I hear Phantom a.k.a. my brother Troy demanded.
