There was no point in calling for help, because I knew no one was there anyway. And if anyone is, he must be dead, because they took care of it.

I started struggling, but it didn't help.

"Tom? " I looked at brunet which wasn't easy. "Help me. We have to do something. " I said, but he didn't answer. "Thomas! " I shouted.

"It doesn't make sense. " Said hoarsely after a moment. "We're not getting out of here. "

I sighed.

Mitch's betrayal hurt me too, but I was sane for now, because I knew if we didn't think anything up, we'd burn alive.

"Listen ..." I started and looked at him again. "I know that your brother's betrayal hurts..." I said. "Really, I trusted him too, even though you warned me. But we can't let him win, you hear me? We have to take revenge, and to do that, we have to get out of here first. Tom? " I took his hand. "I need you. "

There was more and more smoke, and Thomas was still unresponsive.

"Tom? "

After a while, I felt my hug returning.

"Do you have a barrette or something? " He looked at me and tried to hide the tears.

I thought for a moment, but from what I remembered, I wasn't wearing any barrettes. Although... I didn't. I had one when we entered the hotel, but I hid it in my pants pocket.

So I tried to reach for it as soon as possible. It wasn't easy because my hands were tied, but after a few moments I managed to do it.

My hands shook mercilessly as I tried to open the chains.

"Lyds, you can do it..." I heard Thomas' voice suddenly.

So I took a deep breath and after a while I managed to free my hands and then helped Thomas free myself.

We ran to the door, but it was locked. We saw the reflection of the flames beneath them, and more and more smoke.

"What now? " I looked at Rapp.

Man looked around the room and checked every door, but each was closed. We were trapped.

Slowly, I was starting to lose hope too. There was no other way out here.

I knew everyone would die. I knew it was going to happen to me, too, but I was hoping that I would die of natural causes and not burn alive.

"Come on. " Thomas snapped me out of my thoughts. "We won't die, do you hear me? " He said looking into my eyes and took my face in his hands. "You're right, we have to take revenge on him. "

"First we have to get out of here, and so far we have no way. " I said with tears in my eyes.

I could barely breathe, and neither could Thomas.

"We'll get out of here. " He replied confidently.

"How? "

Rapp knelt in front of me then put my hands together and ordered me to stand on them.

"What..." I started, but he interrupted me.

"There's no time. "He pointed upstairs and only now I noticed that there was a ventilation shaft at the top.

"And you? " I looked at him.

"Don't worry about me. " Said right away. "Hop in. " Added.

"But... "

"Lyds..." He interrupted me and faced me. "We don't have time. " Repeated and joined our lips together in a gentle but loving kiss. "I'll be right behind you. " Added and ordered me to come up again.

I wanted to object yet, but I had no choice but to let it go.

Man propped me up to the shaft and after a while I was inside it. It was warmed up all over by the fire that was nearby. Fortunately, it was still possible to move around it. Worse, there was a lot more smoke here.

I looked back.

"Thomas? " I called brunet.

"Keep going. " He called from below. "I'll catch up with you. "

I didn't want to listen to him, but I didn't have much choice and went on, every now and then looking back, but brunet was still not there.

Because of these looking, I completely lost my orientation in the field and even if I wanted to come back, I wouldn't know which way. It was full of bends.

Finally, I miraculously reached the end of the shaft and struggled with the door.

They were very hot so I couldn't do anything with my hands.

I turned quickly and then swung as much as I could, and how much space allowed me to do so. I kicked the door open with all my might and after a while it opened.

I quickly left the shaft and almost fell off the cliff.

In fact, the hotel was situated on an elevation, and I forgot all about it.

There was no other option but to jump off a cliff and land in the water. There was fire everywhere.

I turned to face the shaft again.

"Tom! " I called, but still got no answer.

Now I was starting to panic completely. What if he failed?

No no no. He's definitely made it on time and he'll be here soon. Right?

The third floor of the hotel had already exploded, and after a while each next was following the previous one. There were five floors and the time was running out.

"Lyds..." I heard suddenly.

"Tom..." I ran to him. "Hurry, we don't have time..." I added and helped him out. "We have to jump. "

Brunet glanced at me, and his gaze said "are you kidding?" But in the end, he reluctantly agreed. He took my hand and took a few steps back with me for momentum.

I looked back. Everything's going to blow up.

Rapp and I exchanged glances then nodded. We took a long run and when the hotel exploded, we jumped into the icy water.
