The Escape

Fan's POV:

Yesterday, I told myself that I was going to go out with the plan, but now... I'm unsure of myself.

I was so confident before, but there are a ton of things that could go wrong...

I felt sick to my stomach. I pulled out the vial of acid and examined it nervously.

I only noticed my hands were shaking when I saw the liquid inside rippling.

Deep breaths Fan...

I glanced at Balloon.

He was looking at lightbulb, who was fiddling with a piece of the broken camera.

She couldn't see it, but she knew what it was.

I'll get you out of this Lightbulb... I'll get us all out... Don't worry...

The doors opened and someone was taken out by a MePhone to get a procedure done on them.

Maybe I should wait until night...

We have a better chance of escaping at night, there will be less people keeping watch and Cobs should be asleep.

All of this was so stressful. We had been here for at least a month now and if we hadn't escaped for that long, the chances aren't very high that we will escape this time either.

It was like going onto the stage to perform in front of hundreds of people.

You feel like you are going to collapse and you feel sick.

Except this time, it is pretty much a life or death situation. The pressure is almost unbearable.

For now... Just try to relax...

I leaned back against the wall of my box and closed my eyes, hiding the vial in the process.

I continued taking deep breaths.

Soon it would be dark, and I would be able to carry out with the escape.

Hopefully everything goes as planned

I just have to wait...

Paintbrush's POV:

I sat against the wall, staring at the little metal cuff around my ankle.

Stupid lab... Stupid Cobs...

I looked up at the corner of the room.

It was dark.

Honestly, it was a bit unsettling.

"...Paintbrush..."

I jumped a little.

Did someone just say my name?

I brushed my hair back and looked at the corner.
.
It was still pitch black.

Then I thought I saw movement. I flinched.

"Who's over there." I said standing up and clenching my fists.

No response.

I stared for a bit longer before sitting down and sighing.

"I'm going crazy..." I mumbled to myself.

I looked to my side and saw the chain I had broken, some of the links were scattered across the floor.

I picked up one of the links and threw it across the room. I heard it clink as it hit the ground.

There was nothing I could do to get out of there.
