Wolves Book 2: The Rage Of The Blood Wolves

Chapter 5

A/n I was bored and decided to make Julia who else would you like to see me draw

That night i kept under the cover right until midnight when i walked down staying hidden from the guards view who were all but hidden now. Their lights just gave them away. I dashed to the door and ran down the stairs. The stench again made my head hurt but I was too scared of the guards coming back to care. I grabbed my picks and ran to the door.

    “You came?” Aspen questioned

    “I'm a woman of my word” was all i said i picked carefully limiting the noise i made and listening to the noise the guard made. Once I got it open I realized there were chains on them as well. I bent down to pick one which was much more difficult. “I broke my pick” I hissed , grabbing more from my pouch.

    “Thank you Princess Anala,” Aspen said. I finished his chain and then went on the goblin which was the last one in this cage. I again broke a pick before getting it correct,

“Aspen there's a grate over there you and craang can go hide there if you want” i said taking on the challenge of the cage lock. They did what I said quickly. I grabbed the lock and placed it on the floor ever so gently.  Taking julias chain i tried to not break the pick this time and surprisingly enough i didn't. On these two they were chained to the wall but both hands and feet. Which made my job incredibly difficult. I went ahead and did a hand before finishing her feet. The hand chains were not as bad as the ones on the feet which were much stronger. I eventually got to the hand and all with only breaking one pick.

“Again go to the grate to hide” i said going onto Rose who wasn't even trying to talk. I did a hand before going onto the feet. She was surprised to see how fast I worked and I guess after doing it once I was faster.

“Alright let's go, '' I said when I was done. I walked down the aisle of cages.

    “If you don't help me out i will scream '' a man said in a not so quiet voice.

    “Sure i'll let you out” i threw the two things in his cage. Hopefully he didn't know how to pick a lock, while he was busy maneuvering to grab the two things I went first through the grate. The mud got on my dress but I climbed through them. Knowing the castle well I could maneuver up a bit. I just hoped they were able to get up. I went through them quickly and quietly, finally making it to the slope to get to the first floor. The first sign we were out of the dungeon.

“Stay quiet '' I whispered even though they hadn't said a word yet. I had to make sure the guards wouldn't find us. Crawling to the ceiling of the first floor was most difficult. I had set a rope there earlier attached to a small crevice in the vent which I was so glad about. I grabbed the rope and pulled it a bit.
“One at a time” I said , grabbing the rope and taking my feet off the ground. I climbed, pulling myself forward and back against the side of the vent which supported me at times. I  grabbed onto the edge of the vent and pulled up.

“Quick” I whispered it echoed down to them. Aspen grabbed onto the rope he had no trouble pulling himself up and stepped back and we continued forward enough for everyone to come up. Which they did with ease. I pulled the rope up so that the prisoners could not escape.

We crawled through the vents and I was to take them to the garden vent which was mostly abandoned since my mother died but my brothers are using it now. No guards would take care of them; it was a sacred place and no commoner was allowed, only the royal family, and guests.

“This way” I said , leading them through the kitchen where the smell of pancakes was probably enticing them. I walked through the vent of the mostly abandoned hallway. I heard the kids playing with my brothers.
