"Please..." I hear her whimper and I go into full panic mode.
"Calm down, okay? Deep breaths. Don't hang up. I'll be with you soon. Where are you?" I rush as I grab the car key sitting on the glass table. I run into the garage with my dad behind me.
"What do you need?" Dad asks
"A room. A big one." He runs back inside as I hear her voice again.
"Basement...blood...Elle..." I hear sounds of movement in the background and connect the dots. Elle's bleeding, or something...
"Deep breaths baby, deep breaths. It's okay, you're okay" I murmur reassuring words to her as I speed out of the garage and into the highways, thankful that there's no traffic. 
Several thoughts run through my mind as I drove to her house. The last time we spoke, she could barely stand me, but now she's calling me. I feel kinda used, but now's not the time to think about that. 
I reach her house in a matter of minutes and shove the door open. The house is quiet, save for my heavy breathing and footsteps. I reach the basement and take in the sight in front of me. 
Blair cradles her brutally beaten-up sister in her lap as she rocks herself back and forth blinking very frequently.

Insight On Mai Diary

I feel myself slip in and out of the darkness. I want to stay unconscious, trust me I do. But that voice in my head won't let me. Maybe because that it's its job. To ensure I survive this hellhole, or maybe it's just because Arian may get hurt if I let myself go. There's only one way she can get out here unscarred. And that's if I do what I'm damn good at; Putting myself in danger to rescue another. I hate the fact that I have a strong conscience, but there's no turning it off. Maybe there's a way to tone her out though and I've just not figured it out yet. 


Gathering all the energy left in me, I speak. 


"Check the cabinet behind me. You'll see the Keys" My voice is barely above a whisper. I honestly doubt she heard me. In fact, I don't expect her to hear me. I hear sounds but I'm not sure what's happening as I kept my eyes closed. jingling of metals breaks the silence and I know she has found the keys.
