Door 4- chapter 5

I felt his dagger creep up my back and then dissapear off my body. I got bad goosebumps. For a moment, I couldn't breathe. Questions were racing through my mind. "Why did he kill my grandfather? Do my parents know?" I asked myself those questions over and over again. Confusing thoughts were racing through my mind. I was too startled to ask Mark any questions. I forgot I was even blindfolded and tied to a chair.


"Why did you kill him?" I spit out those words and was surprised they came out correct.


"He was dishonest and rude. I desperately needed money so I came up with new designs for his software. I showed your grandfather and he stole my ideas and got all the money and credit. so I killed him.


"I don't believe you. You were his favorite employee and he wouldn't do such a thing!" I shouted


" Be quiet!" He yelled


I felt his dagger poke my forehead.


"Untie me!" I shouted back. I squirmed around in my chair. Marks cold hands rubbed up against my back as he untied the rope. I stood up and ripped off the blindfold. No one was in the room. I turned around many times looking for Mark but he wasn't in the room. I walked over to a queen size bed and sat down. Suddenly, something cuffed around my ankle and pulled me down. I fell to the ground on my knees. Mark crawled out from under the bed and climbed on top of me. He raised his dagger above his head, ready to stab me. I turned my head sideways and reached for a pillow that fell off the bed when he pulled me off. I shoved the pillow in his face and he dropped the dagger. I got a burst of adrenalin and forced him off of me. He raced to get his dagger. I wanted to get the dagger before him but he was too fast so I bolted out the door. There were so many doors I didn't know which one was the exit. I ran into the one farthest away from him. I locked it tight behind me. While trying to catch my breath, I looked around the room and saw a window. It looked big enough for me to fit through. Tears of joy ran down my cheeks when I looked out the window and saw about 20 police cars and swat teams surrounding the house. I quickly opened the window and yelled "Help! I'm up here!" I waved my arms around and screamed at the top of my lungs. A cop looked up at me and yelled "Don't worry! We're coming into get you! You're going to be okay!"
