Chapter 10 - Escape

"Block the exits!" Hongjoong shouted.

"How can this even happen?" Yeosang asked.

"I don't know, I didn't feel anything off in the system this morning," Hongjoong said, panicking.

"The power can't just go out. This is a building designed to use a ton of electricity," San said from beside Yeosang.

"That means it was planned," Mingi mumbled, standing on Yeosang's other side.

"Yeah, well guess what else is run by electricity," Hongjoong said, holding up his tablet.

San's eyes widened. "The cells!"

"Wooyoung and Jongho are gonna escape," Mingi said.

San frowned, knowing he and his brother had made up, the other members of the team didn't know yet, they still saw Jongho as a threat.

"Mingi, come on," Hongjoong said. "We're going to make sure no one gets out."

"Wouldn't you need more people for that?" Yeosang said.

Hongjoong narrowed his eyes at him, "You're not going if that's what you're asking."

"No, no, I'm just saying that Wooyoung and Jongho are very powerful together, you may not beat them."

"We can do it, Sangie," Mingi said with a grin, causing Hongjoong to smile and softly laugh.

"San, make sure Yeosang is guarded," The leader said. San nodded, wrapping his arm around Yeosang's shoulder and leading him out of the room.

"You ready, Captain?" Mingi asked.

"Yup, let's go."

Wooyoung didn't know how or why the power went out, but he did know how to use this to his advantage.

It was kind of stupid, in his opinion, to have an entire cell that ran completely on electricity.

All it took was one power outage and he could make his move.

The witch made his way out of his cell after he pried the door open.

Really, they should have better security.

To make it even better for him, he was able to get into their armory. He didn't touch any of the big guns, of course, all he needed was a knife. A small, pretty knife that belonged to him. They took it, but he got it back now.

He walked casually down the hallway, as if he wasn't an escaped prisoner, as if he wasn't insane.

He was stopped, eventually, by two of the witches, Bumjoong and Minho, whom he thought their names were (he's not that great at names if he was being completely honest).

"Go back to your cell, Wooyoung, or we'll have to use force," the short one said. (Bumjoong? Hongho?).

Wooyoung laughed, grinning at the white witch. His eyes turned a bright purple as he stared the enemy leader in the eye. The white witch's eyes copied his, turning purple before widening as he dropped to the ground.

The white witch would enjoy seeing the day he got his powers.

The taller one, who he now remembered was named Mingi, had an angry expression on his face. The orange witch then ran up to him and attacked him.

He never used his powers, which Wooyoung thought was stupid.

The tall boy just kept throwing punches, all of which Wooyoung was able to dodge.
