Katrina's POV

I stayed in my room for hours, everything that had happened replaying in my mind.

Silas's words was like a broken record, going on and on in repeat.. He said I was leverage, a pawn in his game and for some reason that hurt me.

I knew I shouldn't have expected anything from him, I mean he said it repeatedly. But still...

A thought flashed through mu mind and I pushed up from where I laid. I knew what I had to do.

I couldn't stay here anymore. I had to leave before he decided to use me against my father. Or worse, hand me back to him.

Sitting on the edge of my bed, I thought about how to escape. The mansion was heavily guarded, but I knew the layout. If I could slip past the guards and make it to the gate, maybe I'd have a chance.

I was literally broke with no money to my name, how would I survive?

Aunt Martha came mind and my lips pulled into a smile. She was the only member of my mom's family who I knew.

I could find my way to her and everything ends well.

With that plan in mind, I stood and went to the window, watching the guards who were moving outside.

My chest tightened as I watched them move, I needed to move carefully.

Later that night, I put on simple shoes and tied my hair back, ready to leave. My heartbeat was loud in my ears as I crept out of the room, trying to be as quiet as possible.

The halls were dark and quiet, the only sound coming from my soft footsteps.

I winced as I tiptoed my way down, praying that my plan works and Silas don't hear me.

I only made it to the back staircase when I heard a voice. My heart stopped, but I ducked behind a pillar holding my breath. The guard walked past without noticing me.

My heart raced in my chest, my hands trembling as I pressed myself to the wall.

This was it. I was going to make it out.
