Freak [On Hold]

Chapter 4: Hatching a Plan

Ivan looked up at me in pure and utter shock. I couldn't quite wrap my brain around my open cell. How was this possible? Were the guards that careless?

"Harry!" Ivan whispered and I looked to see a guard with his back to us. It looked like he was about to turn around.

"Close the door!" Said Ivan.

I grabbed the heavy door and pulled it shut as quietly as I could and held it shut just as the guard turned around.

He eyed the hall as everyones eyes remained on him and some on me. In the few seconds he was there I realized that all sound had stopped and the halls had grown deathly quiet, and I also realized that I had plastered a huge smile on my face as I stood holding the door closed.

Ivan face palmed himself.

The guard walked slowly down the hall, his boots echoing in the silence. He came to stand right in front of me with my stupid smile.

"Oddly quiet. I'd think we'd all be crying and screaming." The guard said. "And what's with the dumb smile?"

I shrugged my shoulders not loosing the smile.

The guard furrowed his brow.

Hesitated, then walked away mumbling something that sounded like 'idiotic hybrid'

Me and Ivan watched until the guard was gone and his boots died down and then we all stared at my fingers on the door. I let go and it swung open a crack.

"How?" I said aloud pulling the door closed again.

"Beats me, but you're out!! Harry you can leave!" Replied Ivan.

But now that I think about it I don't actually remember the guard who took me back here after my meeting with Mr. Seneca actually locking the door. He just slammed it shut and I guess it just got jammed until I leaned on it.

But it was open. I was able to escape if I tried.

"Here, use this to hold the door shut. For now." Ivan whispered sliding something under his door to me. I picked it up and eyed it.

"Ivan?"

"Yeah?"

"Why do you have a piece of wire in your cell?" I looked at him with an eyebrow raised.

He shrugged and I rolled my eyes with a sigh.

I bent the piece of wire around the door so that it stayed shut. Just as I did so someones voice came from down the hall. I moved away from the door as Colin emerged. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Colin!" I said.

He turned and smiled walking over.

"Hey Harry, what's new?"

"This is new." I stated pulling off the wire and pushing open the door.

Colin stared at the door with his jaw dropped wide open.

"What the hell?" He muttered.

I pulled it closed and reapplied the wire.

"How?" Colin asked.

I told him of how the guard forgot to lock it and Colin stared, deep in thought off into the distance.

"This is your chance Styles." He began turning his eyes to mine. "You need to get out of here."

I shook my head.

"Colin, I can't!" I began to protest. "If I'm caught, I'm dead for sure. Mr. Seneca hates me. And that's hates with a capital H!"
