Heroism and Harshness

Chapter Eleven

"Will you just shut up?" complained one driver as it was like reflecting the whining back to her. "We don't care about the stupid chains,"

Becky then sighed. Looks like that she had to come up with something new.

She then sighed again. How would she be able to cut through metal? She never practiced this because she was never chained at all. In the prison trucks, the prisoners are packed together as a guard is patrolling them to make sure that no rudeness ever happens.

Becky tried to yank the chains off a few more times but it was no use. The solid chains held her captive as there was no way of escape.

Or was there? that was Becky's main question right now. Was there a way of escape? She already tried to trick the drives into letting her go but they wouldn't budge. Becky then tried to think of another way to convince them to let her go. She thought of trying to yell so loud that they might but then she will be reported and her punishment will increase by a lot.

Becky then started to call herself names to not think of a plan. That just affected her by saying that she might give up but then she had to think positive. That was something she learned by giving up on an impossible plan that she devised or getting bullied. And it worked! From being depressed by giving up, Becky then thought of herself as a hero. To escape a truck. She already escaped a secured prison where there're professional guards strolling around to make sure that nothing funny ever happens.

Becky had just to think about how to escape. She thought of a variety of unrealistic ideas like biting out of the chins or smashing them against the wall. But, those ideas won't work.

Becky then groaned out loud. She couldn't think of any plans as she wasn't even thinking positive anymore. The only thing that she could think of now was just taking the truck to the castle and just do what she wants there.

But, when a prisoner get's out of the truck, several guards make sure that a prisoner doesn't escape (or a Hubian).

Then, a miracle happened as one of the drivers had some flint. He was biting it for some reason as he was bored.

"I'm sick of this crappy flint," he said as he chucked it right at Becky.

The flint then hit the chains as the noise echoed across the truck, staring the drivers and Becky. The flint gave Becky an idea. She then bent down as with her mouth (her arms and legs were chained), and she picked up the flint.

Becky then knew that somehow the flint will help her. She didn't know it yet but it would. She then just had to think of a plan. She thought of heaving it at the drivers as hopefully they will get into an accident. but, Becky somehow knew that it wasn't a good idea. She had a feeling that she will get hurt severely.

Becky then rubbed the flint against the steel chains. She hoped that it would help her think of something. But unexpectedly, it made sparks. The sparks lasted for a second but Becky caught the image. Becky was shocked. She never knew that flint and steel could do that! Becky then rubbed the two things again as more tiny sparks sprouted from the chains. What surprised her was that the drivers didn't notice.

She then pressed the flint against the chains as she scratched it. Maybe a huge spark will do some damage! But, that didn't happen at all. Instead, it created a little fire.

Becky had seen fire before. In the castle and in the Hub, fires glow. Becky knew that they weren't so safe to touch as they can destroy whatever they touch.

Becky had summoned a little fire as it laid on the floor.

"It's so cute," Becky whispered. The fire glowed in the truck as it danced around the floor, just like what Becky will be doing once she saves Trey. She thought of it as a fortune teller, something that came to her when she was younger. Anything that she paid close attention to will tell the future. It could be anything: Her stone bed, a table. Even a mirror could do it.

The fire then grew a bit bigger as the driver threw something else at her. A needle. He was biting it, hoping that it would keep him occupied for the trip but the needle also failed to do so. The needle flew in the air as it was going to hit the fire. But, that wouldn't happen as it might help her escape! Becky then bent down as right before the valuable needle touched the effective fire, she caught it with her mouth!

After spitting it out of her mouth, Becky then used the needle to go to the lock that was holding her shut. She figured this out ages ago. Becky then unlocked the lock with the needle in her mouth! She was known for her talents.

Becky then got out of her chains as she threw them in the fire. Now, the fire had ate the chains as it grew big as her! She then knew that the whole thing will blow up.

The drivers then noticed the raging fire by the heat.

"It's hot in here," said a driver as he put on the AC. But, that didn't do anything as the other turned around.

He then screamed as he saw the smoldering fire take up the vacant truck. The other driver swiftly turned his head around as both drivers were screaming of it.

Becky was in the back of the truck, trying not to get burned and starting to regret the decision of doing that. The fire will burn her up as she will not make it! Something which she didn't want to happen. Then, the fire was inches away from her as if someone didn't do a thing, then she will be dead!

"HHHHEEEELLLPPPPP!!!!" She cried out, now relying her enemies to save her. She couldn't breathe now. She was putting her face into her shirt, not seeing the moment that she will die and to get some last breaths before she will burn to death.

The drivers then got out, fleeing away from the truck as they left Becky there in the truck. No one cared about a prisoner life as it was worth like an ant's life. Becky then saw the orange flames as she was getting more hot every single second.

Finally, the fire was so close that it was going to burn her up. It was already nibbling on her prison clothes, making them have holes in them.

She started to say goodbyes, thinking that she will die. Who knows? Maybe she will like it more when she's dead.

But, the whole truck then exploded as it started from the front. The fire had gotten through the weak floors to the engine where it killed it. The fire then dashed to the wall where it was trapping Becky as it took it down in a few seconds. Right before the fire was going to grab her and swallow her up, she turned around and jumped out the broken walls. If she haven't did it in that exact second, she will be dead.
