The banging on the door became more frantic and with the high pitch scraping coming from the bed I knew it was moving. I held little Blaze tighter as a knot of fear became lodged in my throat. I had no idea what this man would do once he got in, but there wasn’t a single scenario that went through my head that held a happy ending.
The look on Benjamin’s face turned from terrified to thoughtful all in a matter of few seconds. I reached out and grabbed his arm as he stood up.
“Don’t. I don’t know what you’re going to do, but just don’t,” I whispered hoarsely.
“They know someone’s back here. We can’t just wait until they burst through the door,” Benjamin whispered back before trying to stand up again.
I yanked him back down again. “No! Help me up!”
“Are you crazy?” Craig asked astonished.
