Chapter 7

　　Erika's POV

　　I woke up when we passed a bumpy road. But I didn’t

　　open my eyes. I knew Derek was beside me and I’d rather pretend to be asleep

　　than face him.

　　I felt better after a nap. Now I was thinking about

　　how to escape while keeping my breath steady.

　　It was all silent in the car. I pricked my ears and

　　listened.

　　"Oh, shit!" I heard a man’s voice. He

　　sounded angry but he had to keep his voice low. It must be the driver.

　　Suddenly, I tilted toward Derek and fell on his

　　legs. It was a sharp turn. What was happening? But I still pretended to sleep.

　　I hated to be so close to Derek, but I had a feeling that it was a perfect

　　chance to escape.

　　The car stopped. The driver opened the door and got

　　out.

　　 "Wow. Mate, you sleep like a

　　log." Derek helped me up and then he also got out.

　　As the door shut, I opened my eyes and looked

　　around. I was the only one in the car and the engine was still running. Yes!
