Carry on...

We quietly walked down various hallways careful not to make too much noise. We wanted to get out of the building as fast as possible before the concoction begins to wear off. The plan was to reach to main power source of the camp and blow a huge circuit which will cause all doors to unlock, even the gate.

I threw off my heels and ripped the tail of my dress off so that it doesn't hinder me from running my usual speed. Laurent and I ran side by side down the skywalk as the others followed close behind. I could still somewhat hear their whispering as I ran and could see flashes of the banquet every time I blinked my eyes. We approached the door to come to find out that it was locked. I grabbed the door knob and sent an electric pulse through the door causing it to unlock. We pushed through the doors making a run for the stairs. We basically jumped down each flight of stairs and exited through the  back door running towards one of the trucks that the guards use to quickly get across campus.

Laurent hops in the driver's seat and I got in the passenger seat as the others pile up in the back. I then place my hands on the dashboard and send an electric current trying to start the engine up. I could feel the electric current traveling through the car, but it wasn't reaching the battery which will then trigger the starter.

"Fuck! Come on, baby. Please start up." I say getting angry that the car won't start up all the way.

I close my eyes to see that Wells and his henchmen are still under the spell, but not for long. I grit my teeth as my fingertips begin to tingle from the heavy amount of electric energy I was bolting through the car.

"Breathe, Ziya." His calm voice says as he gripped my hand.

I open my eyes and sit back dropping my hands as I inhale deeply through my nose before exhaling slowly through my mouth. I lightly place my hands back onto the dashboard and tried once more, this time starting it up successfully. Laurent puts it in drive and speeds off towards the main power building where we will be cutting off all the power in order to successfully escape this prison.

"We need to hurry. I can feel them awakening." I say hopping out of the car and rushing toward the doors of the building that keeps this camp up and going.

I easily unlock the doors and let the others in before letting in myself. I could feel every current of electricity within the realm of this building. My hair began to pick up wandering currents through the air for they had started to stand up on their own. My veins pulsed at the same rate as the building's the further we went into the building. My fingertips tingled telling me that we were nearing the hearth of the electricity that helps sustain this camp which was on the lower level.

With each step I took felt more and more alive. We are finally going to be able to see the outside world. To finally get a taste of the normal life and the freedom to do whatever we want. I could almost taste it.

"I think this is the room" Taji says walking into a quite large dimly lit room.

The rest of us followed him to see hundreds of surveillance screens showcasing the whole entire campus at different angles. Every nook and cranny of this prison was displayed up on a television screen. I then seen movement on one screen out of my peripheral and seen some guards walking out of the banquet hall looking quite discombobulated. They were looking for something. That something being us; The Chosen.
