#Chapter55

---Escape

I carefully peek around the corner at the basement door and see Henry guarding the door.

I quickly look around for something to throw only for my eyes to land on a forgotten penny.

/"I hope this works/" I whisper out as I grab the penny

I take a deep breath before chucking the penny down the hallway causing it to make a loud ding.

I quietly hide behind a chair when I hear footsteps coming my way.

I hear his footsteps stop in front of me which has my whole body freezing up.

Shit, shit, shit.

He suddenly turns around and continues to walk in the other direction.

Thank you, Jesus.

I carefully stand up and sneak past him. I make sure to quiet my footsteps but still be fast.

I turn the doorknob and notice that it's unlocked. I push the door open and slide in before closing behind me.

/"Aspen?/" I hear Carolina ask

/"Yes, I'm here to untie you/" I say as I lock the door
