Carol walked over to the cage slowly. Her expression was just insanity. She was crazy for all Hannah knew, and that was just another reason to escape this place.
"Tired? Confused? Don't worry, that'll be over soon." Carol said, smirking evilly.
Elly seemed to be stirring, and sat up, rubbing her eyes.
"What happened?" She asked.
Hannah moved over next to Elly. "Just stay calm. Whatever they say, don't listen. Because I'm not going to let anything happen to you, or any of our friends."
Elly, alerted by this, looked around. She took in her surroundings, and saw Carol standing there, smirking. A chill ran down the fourteen year old's spine.
"I guess you heard my plan, too. Just let me catch up for this young woman." Carol said. "You see, in this large community, we obviously don't have enough food. With the undead out there, eating anything that moves, killing an animal is rare. So we take the weakest here and recycle them to make the rest of us stronger."
At every word, Elly's eyes widened. Carol took enjoyment to see the fear grow in the kid's eyes. She suddenly snapped her fingers, and walked away. The men, at the snap, scurried around the room, grabbing different tools and running into another room. One man walked over.
"Just stay here," He said. "We're just getting your room ready." And followed the others into the room. The door closed, and the room grew silent.
"What do we do?" Elly said. Her voice showed that she was battling tears.
"It's going to be okay," Hannah said. "We're going to get out of here." Hannah stood up and walked to the metal bar door. "Think we can break it open?"
"I don't think so," Elly said. "It's metal, and it's obviously not old. We'd need a tool to get out."
"Think Hannah, think." Hannah muttered. She looked around their cell. Her eyes landed on a grate on the wall. She walked over to the grate, followed by Elly.
Hannah put her hands through the holes on the grate, and pulled. Elly helped. They pulled at the metal grate, but it was no use. It was too strong, and they had nothing to take the screws out with.
The door opened, and out came one of the men in white. He walked over to them, and held out keys.
"Promise you'll be good?" He taunted.
"I promise you nothing, you piece of sh*t." Hannah cursed at him. The man didn't flinch at the icy tone.
He put the keys into the lock, and opened the door.
"Now, uh, the younger one." He said, pointing at Elly. She whimpered.
"Why are you taking a little girl? Take me instead!" Hannah stood up.
"I have to take the 'little girl' because she's been longest with a bite wound. Now, come on." He said, getting annoyed.
Elly hesitantly stood up. Hannah hugged her, and let her walk out.
The man took Elly by the arm, while trying to lock the door again. But, before he did, Elly took her free hand and punched him in the face. The man dropped the keys and let go of her to hold his face.
With this chance, Hannah ran out the bar door, grabbed Elly, and ran to the door. She tried opening it, but it was locked.
Elly tapper her shoulder. She held up a card. Hannah smiled and took the card and showed it to the scanner. The door opened.
A hand grabbed Hannah's hair before they could walk out. She screeched.
"Your not going anywhere!" Said the man's voice.
