The Hunt

Chapter 5 Escape

I had noticed a door in the kitchen that was labeled "ELEVATOR". I really hope that leads to freedom.All we need to do is to get to that elevator without being spotted. It was now late, everyone had gone to bed, and I was supposed to be sleeping right now. I wanted to figure out a plan tonight so we could get out tomorrow, but I see that we have to act now. I tip-toed across the room and peeked through the door. Good. No guards in the hallway. When I got to Danny's room, I opened it a crack to see if he was awake or not, surprisingly, he was!

"Mac! What are you doing here?" He looked slightly concerned.

"I'm ok." I answered, "I figured out a way to get out of here, but we have to act tonight!"

"Fine. Ok, let's go!"

We set off to Fiona's room, but stopped dead in our tracks when we heard footsteps around the corner.

"In here!" I said, pulling him into a magenta room. I closed the door just in time to hear footsteps round the corner... and walk right past us. We both exhaled in relief, then we waited until the footsteps grew silent before coming out of the room. Fiona was fast asleep when we got there. We woke her up and explained my plan. We crept down the hallways, half expecting Corple to just pop out of nowhere. We finally made it to the dining hall, but as we walked in, several traps went off and many guards popped out to stop us.

"Just great." I muttered. Before the guards could attack, I yelled, "Run! Fight through them, we have to get out!" A guard immediately ran up to me and tried to knock me down, I in turn, simply kicked him hard on the leg, knocking him over. I looked to see Fiona slapping a guard hard in the face, then throwing him on the ground. I was about to be ambushed by two guards, when Danny came and punched one in the face. This gave me enough time to elbow the other one in the gut. We continued in this pattern, punching, kicking, slapping, and having each others' backs'. I don't know how we did it, but we did. After all, we were only untrained teens. Fiona and Danny held the rest off while I worked the elevator. With one last blow delivered by Fiona, we all ran inside and started going up. I couldn't believe it! My plan had worked, we actually made it out alive! Maybe I was destined for greatness or something. When we reached the top, we walked out to... the middle of nowhere. Where are we?
