Chapter 4

It was the day of the escape.

I woke up early enough and made my way to the rainbow room when I noticed 011 also leaving her room.

We looked at eachother and both grinned as I turned and opened the door to the rainbow room.

It was completely deserted.

We decided not to escape yet. It would be to obvious so we waited patiently until all the other children started entering the rainbow room.

We decided then that it was time.

We both slowly walked up to one of the guards at the door and asked him politely if we could go to the nurse because 'we felt sick'.

He looked a bit skeptical at first but led us to the nurse in the end.

We exited the room and walked behind him to the nurse waiting for the right moment to make our move.

Just before we made it to the nurse's room I noticed the main door in sight. It was time.

I quickly grabbed 011 by the wrist and dragged her along as I ran. I should've gave her a warning because the moment I grabbed her and started to run she nearly slipped face first onto the hard tile floor.

We both made it safely though to the main door as I slipped the keycard out of my sock and slid it down the machine.

The machine made a short beep sound and a light above the door changed from red to green.

I pushed open the heavy metal door and we made our way down the stairs.

011 and I were running as quick as we could down the flights of stairs that seemed to go on for what seemed like forever.

After many flights of stairs we had finally made it to the bottom.

At first I thought it was empty room because of how dark it was but as my eyes adjusted to the dark I noticed a lot of big metal tanks which I'm guessing were the boilers.

011 pulled her arm out of my hand and then grabbed my hand with her hand instead and squeewed it tightly.

We walked slowly hand in hand past the many boilers wondering where the man with the yellow hair could be or if he even was here.

We didn't want to shout out for him just in case someone heard us and found us.

I was going to walk further but was pulled back by 011. She pointed to the stairs. She wanted to go back.

It didn't seem the man with the yellow hair was here anyways. Maybe he tricked us so we would just get in trouble.

I looked at her and nodded yes.

I began to walk to the stairs but I must of tripped on something on the floor which made me loose my balance and start falling backwards.

As I fell back something caught me.

I looked around and saw that it was man with the blond hair.

He gave me such a fright though that my first instinct was to scream.

The man with the yellow hair quickly put his hand over my mouth and pulled 011 and I behind one of the boilers and sat down.

I could hear the noise of guards rushing down the steps getting louder as they got closer.

The man with the yellow hair kept his hand over my mouth and put his other arm over my shoulder.

011's hand was still clutching mine and she was gripping it tighter then before.
