Broken Desires

~Escape~

The next morning, one of the guards woke me up.
"Wake up. It's time for work" He announced.
I really hated this place. I had a wierd feeling and I didn't like it one bit.
"Wake up" He repeated.
"I'm up, you're not my mother" I hissed back at him. I was not a morning person.
I got up out of bed and towards my clothes "turn around" I ordered.
"Can't do that, eyes on you at all times-"
"Turn around or exit the room. You are supposed to be an escort. Nothing more. Do your job properly or for the love of satan I will have you on your ass in seconds" I was very aggravated and the added tenseness of being here really wasn't helping.
"She's adorable" One of them mentioned.
"What's supposed to be scary about them?" Another laughed.
I lit a cigarette, knowing full well that they'd hate the smell and cough because there's no windows open. "Fine, until you fuckers leave this room, I ain't getting ready for work" I sat back down on the bed with my cigarette.
"Yes you are missy" One of them hissed stepping towards me.
"And what is a lizard like you going to do about it?" I rattled my tail.
Lizard was probably one of the worst insults you could say to a reptile, we hated it.
"Shouldn't of done that sweetheart" He began to swing a hand at me.
I grabbed his arm and dotted my cigarette out on it before I scratched him in the face, causing 5 diagonal gashes across his face and he growled in pain.
"Try me, sweetheart"  I hissed angrily at him. "But don't forget, you have been hiding from me for centuries. Care to find out why?" I readied my tail to fight.
"You're gonna regret that"  He threatened, shoving me to the wall.
"Think you're tough do you?" I asked him aggressively, slicing the backs of his knees open with my tail.
He roared in pain as blood dripped down his legs, weakening his grip on me.
"Get out of this room while I get myself dressed!" I yelled, shoving him to the floor, viciously.
One by one, they exited the room silently, that one limping on both feet. I got dressed fairly fast, but didn't go out of the door, I got outside the window and climbed down the window ledge and jumped off, catching myself with my feet. I didn't know how long I had without the guards but I decided to go to the temple to go find Demitre.
When I got there I could hear him talking to someone.
"The Boa's are very loyal to one another, which means, if we hold he hostage, they're bound to come and retrieve her" He explained.
"But why would we want the Boa coming here?" Asked another.
"Think of it as a bribe, we don't kill her and they leave us in peace" answered Demitre.

I had to get out of here, now. But I felt bad for Striker because he'd want to stay for a while. I got back to the cottage and put a small note of the window:  
         
                      i've escapeD to the sANd
                    to Go find thE boa distRict.
                               I'll see you soon
                                            X

I left, back to where I fell into this mess. I looked at my bike and it was beyond repair.
"Looks like I'm walking" I said to myself.
I saw the broken glass where I fell before and sand was forming a small hill at the bottom I took some small rocks, climbed as high as I could and threw the rocks up, which obviously, they didn't reach.
I looked around, scanning the room for anything that could help, I eventually spotted a bow and arrows half-buried in the sand. This must've been the old temple before they found out that it was unstable.
The arrow heads where quite blunt but that's okay for now. I drew the bow back and aimed it high, as I let the arrow leave my bow, I heard footsteps and the whole ceiling of glass and sand came crashing down over me.
A large shard of glass impaled my lower torso and I was buried in the sand, I put one hand around my face so I could make a small air pocket.
"She's here" Demitre's voice had changed to more sinister.
"Even if she was, she's either suffocating in sand or already escaped" said the voice from earlier.
"Damn it.... She'll never survive our climate alone anyway" Demitre laughed.
I heard the steps getting more distant until I could hear them again. I got up from the sand and scurried my way up the sand to the outside. I saw the tent and looked inside, I packed a bag with some water and wood, I put my jacket on my bag and started walking west, back to imp city.
