I had made my decision. Tonight I would try to escape. My pregnancy would become noticeable soon and I was not sure how Martin would react to it. I was in my third month. I wanted the child, but did not want it to be in this house. Not under one roof with Martin. My mother was not doing well for a few days now and I knew Martin was busy with her. The opportunity was favorable. He had slept for the past few days. I would be far away by the time he discovered I was gone. I knew where he kept his credit card and knew his PIN. I would take the money from his account to get a new start for myself and the child. This time I had no qualms about it. He had tormented and abused me for years. I would not feel guilty about stealing money from him.

I waited until the house was quiet, then waited another hour just to make sure. I finally opened the window and climbed out. The canopy was not far but I had no idea how loud my landing on it would be. I prayed that Martin would not wake up. I landed safely on my feet, but the sound of the impact seemed incredibly loud in the night to me. My heart was beating hard as I expected Martin’s bedroom light to come on, but nothing happened. I slowly went to the edge of the roof and let my legs dangle off it. I let myself slide down slowly until I felt the rim of the trash can. I felt a triumphant feeling as I climbed off the bin. Now I just had to get the credit card. I was stuck without money. I still had my house keys which Martin had forgotten to take from me. Since he had locked me in my room, he probably thought I would not need it. I smiled grimly.

You won’t believe your eyes in the morning, you son of a bitch, I thought with satisfaction as I went to the front door to open it. The house was quiet. I did not dare turn on the light but found my way in the dark. I did not have to go far. Martin’s wallet was laying on a sideboard in the living room. I took it and opened it. I took out his credit card, my heart was beating wildly and I put it into my back pocket. I put the wallet back in its place. I cautiously crept across the room towards the door, when suddenly the lights came on.

“I knew I had heard something!” I heard Martin’s voice coming from the other door, which was behind me, leading into the hallway.

I screamed in horror and ran away in a panic. I heard Martin curse behind me. I knew that he was coming after me. I ran for the front door, screaming. Just as I was about to grab the door knob, my hair was pulled back hard and I was thrown against the chest of my tormentor.
