It was a few days before we had planned our escape back to the outside world. It was a perfect plan that we had thought of. Though we all felt like that it wouldn't work for some reason because the plan had to work at nighttime and Giovanni said that Deamons gain most of their power during the night and also during the full moon. I could see through the roof and saw that the moon wasn't full yet so our powers didn't intensify just yet so we were in luck because the others that were holding us slept hard at night.
Oh before I forget I found out what I eat. Blood! I drink blood and eat regular food as well as other humans! I can't drink or feast on someone. It's just morally gross! Giovanni says that we have to drink blood in order to survive. I really don't know if I can do that because I've always hated the sight of blood. When the guards brought us the blood I gave it to the other three but I still crave it. I could kill for it. They also brought us water and when I looked at my reflection I saw that my eyes had turned black. They were black as coals like how Giovanni's eyes were when he was hungry for blood.
As soon as it was nighttime we pretended to sleep. The guard was fast asleep like we had expected him to be. The plan was to steal the guard's keys and kill him. I told Giovanni that I couldn't kill anyone so he would have to do it or the other two would have to because I'm more of a wimp to do anything drastic or insane. I am now lost in thought about how I had changed. You would think that me being a Deamon would change things about how I would act but actually it's all the same. I haven't changed that much really. Besides the way I look now and I've also noticed that my voice has become smoother and richer. There is no deep gravel tone in my voice anymore like there use to be. It's higher than it was. Before my voice sounded like someone was holding me up against the wall and choking me a bit. It's really strange that I have a new voice. But with all these changes, does that mean I'm a new man?
"Marcus. Hello Marcus?"
I didn't know that Giovanni was talking to me because I was paying no attention to my surroundings. I couldn't hear what he was saying because he was whispering to me. Though, it looked like he wasn't saying anything at all really. His mouth barely moved so I don't know how I heard him. Maybe I developed some sort of advanced hearing that we have. Oh god did I say we?
"Marcus are you okay? You look sick. Maybe we should wait until you feel better."
"No I'm fine. I just got lost in my own little world and drowned out everything. We continue as planned."
I could feel that I had eyes on me so I looked around and I was right. One of the other two was glaring at me and it was creeping me out. I felt like my throat had clamped up because I couldn't say anything to him at all. It was like he had some sort of hold on me. Like he has some sort of power that I don't know of. It wasn't until a minute later that he had finally looked away from me. As soon as he turned I felt fine. I had my breath back and I didn't feel like something was caught in my throat. I have the feeling him and me are going to get along swell.
I hadn't met the other guy. He sort of looks like Giovanni a bit. Maybe their brothers or something I don't know really. Now wasn't the time to ask him or Giovanni for that matter. Right now we must focus on escaping this dreadful place that we are trapped in. I went over to Giovanni who was by the guard, which was asleep in a chair by the cell. He was barely in arms reach when Giovanni tried to get the keys. His arms were too short to grab them.
"Cazzo I can't reach them from here. Marcus can you help me? Maybe your arms can reach the keys because I can't."
I was scared and frozen solid like a lake in the cold winters night. I looked at my arms and saw that they were long enough to reach through the bars to grab the keys. I slowly crawled over to where Giovanni was and looked at him. He nodded and motioned me to go on and grab the keys that hung at the side of the guard's pants. They weren't clipped onto anything but I was still scared to try and grab them because I didn't know whether or not he would wake up.
I had no choice right now because Iwanted out of here. I slowly reached my hand through the bars and reached outfor the keys. I could feel the cold metal touching my fingers so I slowlytightened my grip around them and carefully pulled them out of the guard'spocket. All of a sudden the guard shifted. I kneeled there frozen with fearrushing through me. That's it we are going to get caught and killed! Giovanniput his hand on my shoulder and all of a sudden I felt a huge rush of calmnesscoursing throughout my entire body. I glanced over at him and he just stared atme. He stared at me with a smile on his face though. For some reason I trustGiovanni. I think of him as a best friend that I can rely on.
