Transluters - The past against the present

Escapees

I jolt up and look around to find the source of the sound "did anyone else hear that?" Charlie whispered scanning the room "yeah it was me" Alex said as he pushed his cell open "how the hell did you do that?!?" Charlie asked while raising his eyebrows, "well it's all thanks to bellas lock picking lessons" he turns and winks at me "but where'd you get a pick from?" I said doubtfully "when they left us our final portion of food before leaving, I managed to grab a screwdriver from one of the maintenance workers" he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a screwdriver with moss on the handle of it "what's the moss for?" Charlie asks as if reading my mind "decoration" Alex giggles to himself "ok well great job now get us out of here" Charlie impatiently replies "actually I was kind of thinking about leaving you two here" he sarcastically says before laughing at himself "ha, ha very funny, hurry up lets go already" Charlie replies raising his voice out of ignorance "fine, jeez what a buzz kill."

After unlocking our cells and grabbing whatever we could scavenge, we went to take our leave "finally we can stretch our legs" Alex moans, he grabs the door handle and pushes it open slowly in case a guard is still here. "All clear" he whispers before creeping through the doorway "after you" Charlie holds the door open for me "thanks, you're such a gentlemen" I smirk to myself before entering the room, there's a wooden chest and to the right of it are some cobblestone stairs that head upwards. Charlie walks to the chest and tries it "locked, of course" he turns around and signals Alex to open it "I'll go see what's upstairs just stay out of sight for a bit" Charlie starts walking up the stairs and out of sight. I sit down on the stairs and look at myself, ragged clothing, no weapons and the only supplies I have are a handful of fur and a layer of moss. *click* *snap* "Damn it" I turn to Alex and see him hit the lid of the chest, "you brake the pick?" I ask "yeah and it was our only one" he angrily punches the chest again before retreating he grabs his hand and joins me "that kinda hurt" he laughs awkwardly before turning around and tapping me on the the shoulder. "Well?" Charlie creeps down the stairs but something was wrong, his eyes were wide and his skin was pale "what's wrong?" I ask questioning his expression "Ssshhh" "the hells wrong with you?" Alex replies quietly "upstairs, there's a Mellinoph" I could feel my heart beat slow and the blood strain from my face "wh-what?" I stutter, I turn to Alex and see that he's already peed himself. "What should we do, there's no way we can kill that thing!" I whisper terrified of our current situation "well it's blocking the stairs so we only have two options, one we crawl past it or two, we kill it.
