Time of war

Chapter 4:skeleton room

Bang! Bang! I jumped up there was a tray sliding under the lowest bar in the cage, there was water and a small loaf of bread I started drinking the water really fast and scarfed the bread down, I looked over to lesloth he was cutting his bread in half with a stone knife that looked like he made, "give me that" I spoke in a quiet whisper, he handed me the knife I looked at the guy to my left on my right was lesloth "do u need this" I asked "not really I have another he pulled out I small sharp knife "give me it" he handed it to me "what's the plan" he asked. I held the knife close to my stomach and jabbed myself in the side I screamed and tossed the knife into lesloth cell I put the other knife into my pocket I laid there helplessly two guards came in my cell and lifted me up I peeked over to lesloth's cell, they were carrying him off in the other direction. They carried me into a white room and they put me on a table I felt a few sharp pains in my side but it didn't compare to the pain I felt when I stabbed myself, the last thing I remember was the guard in white getting ready to stitch my knife wound, when I woke up I was lying next to a skeleton I backed away in a panic there where skeletons all over the ground I backed against the wall and looked around it was a tall circular room with bones all over I saw a person in the corner I walked up to him he turned to me "lesloth!"

I ran up to him and helped him up the horrible stench burned my throat "we need to find a way out" Lesotho spoke in a raspy sounding voice I cleared a path through the bones and sat him down against the cold wall. Sitting there I thought back to my parents disappearance I wondered if this was where they where banished to, toward the top of the room blue lights started blinking like police lights, I just sat there I didn't think there was anything worse they could do but smoke started coming out of vents all around it was a brownish green, I got up and walked over to one of the vents and put my hand right by it, a searing pain shot through my body. I ran over to lesloth and tried to lift him to his feet but he made no effort, I sat down by him "we got to go now!" "Where!" lesloth snapped I looked around but there was no way out a sealed concrete door to our right and a solid wall to our left. The smoke suddenly stopped it disappeared in seconds I stood up puzzled. And I remembered the other knife I sat back down next to lesloth "where's the other knife?" I asked he handed me the short blade I got up and ran to the lowest vent there where 4 screws I stuck the knife in the middle and twisted it with all my strength if finally came out. I slowly started working to unscrew the vent when I finished I pulled the vent out and sat it against the wall I turned around and walked back to lesloth "I got a way out" I whispered just in case anyone was listening he opened his eyes slowly I looked at him very confused "help me" he asked I gently helped him up his eyes looked red and swollen "you can't see can you?" He started to wheeze. "No"
