Prison Breakers (5SOS)

Chapter 18: judgment day

Michael's P.O.V

It was about three months after our escape from prison when Niall's friend contacted us.

At first we thought he wanted something in return for helping us back when we escaped prison but it turned out it wasn't him who needed our help at al. as Luke and Calum where working ashton and I decided to meet up with the guy to see what he wanted.

So at 8pm that evening we met under the old subway bridge three blocks down from were we life.

His figure appeared from the darkness pushing a letter in my hand and without saying anything at all he just disappeared again.

The letter seemed to have gone a long way as it was ripping in some places and turned a slight yellowish color. I didn't know what it was but I recognized the red stamp from somewhere.

It almost looked like...... like the prison stamp?

but why would we get a letter from prison? was it from Niall? was he alright?

I decided to leave these questions for now and return to our home with ashton, waiting for Luke and Calum to come home to open the mystery letter.

They did come home about three hours later when their shifts were over. After we told them everything we knew so far about the letter we sat down at the table to open it.

what we found was not at all what we expected nor wanted to see.

inside the envelope was a letter which indeed designated from the prison, more importantly it was from Niall and seeing as he writes he got a dead penalty  for helping us he may be in great danger.

I looked away with tears in my eyes as Luke read the letter out loud word for word.

hey boys,

by the time this letter get's to you I don't know where I am but I have to tell you a few things.

after you guys escaped one of the prison guards came to get me, apparently they know I have been helping you guys and now they want to know where you ran of too.

Don't worry I will never tell them, I just hope that the four of you can live a somewhat happy and normal live again.

I am writing this letter to say goodbye to you all.

since I wouldn't tell them where you guys are they gave me the dead penalty for helping with the escape.

I will get transferred to the dead cells in about a week after that I have no idea how long it will take before the day of judgment will arrive.

let's be clear I am only writing this letter to tell you guys not to worry and to tell you that all my friends are at your service when you need them.

I may be getting the dead penalty but you all need to stay strong and built a new live okay?

In the envelope I have included a note with all the numbers of my friends, an explanation for everything and some money I had hidden away behind a loose brick in my cell.

goodluck boys

until me meet again,

Niall Horan

meanwhile back in prison

'Tell us where they escaped to right now or your punishment will get worse!'  one of the guards in the room screamed in my face.

I just shook my head too weak to do much more than that, I just couldn't betray them.

punch after punch were thrown at my stomach and face the pain growing almost unbearable.

'I will give you one last chance boy tell me were they are we both know that you know their location.'   I just shook my head again, whatever happened I couldn't betray them.

'very well then, gentlemen take him back to his cell and bump up the date of his hanging maybe he will talk then' And with a last devilish laugh the man disappeared through the door.

Immediately the other man jumped into action, releasing my arms from the chuckles chained to the wall and dragging me back to my cell where they just threw me onto the ground like I was some piece of trash.

The last thing I could hope for was that that Michael and the others got my letter before I blacked out completely, all of my thoughts disappearing with the ever growing darkness in my mind.

I don't know for how long I have been out, can't even tell the difference between day and night anymore.

the cell I'm in is underground and pitch black except for the small light hanging from the ceiling.

The only way I know what day it is, is because I keep marking them on the wall. Depending on when the guards come every morning to get me some bread and water.

let's just hope the boys have received my letter by now, I don't want to go without them knowing everything.

I hated myself for lying to them.

yes I may be innocent in the murder I have been convicted for but I did commit a murder.

if only I would have never known what that bastard did to my girlfriend I wouldn't be here at all...
