Work

The work was to chop firewood and make sculptures with things like clay or glass so the guards can sell them for money. They also made us prepare our own food. They gave each room only eough ingredients for one person. But at least it was something. 

Tina and I were making wood carvings when I saw Mum chopping firewood. I went over and told her our plan. She said she'd go with it and help us by freezing guards and things.

I was feeling more positive about the plan and hopefully, nothing would go wrong. Then I got back to making wood carvings with Tina. 

'I have a feeling this is going to work well!' I whispered to Tina.

'Yeah, I mean, what can go wrong? We just need to work as a team! This is exciting!'

'We've got to do well. So my mum will hide behind something, freeze the guard, we'll go in his room and raid his wallet. Good?'

Tina smiled. Kelli looked over to us and she seemed to have guessed what we were talking about and winked at us. I winked back at her. She shuffled towards us. She was also making wood carvings and hers was really good!

'You don't have to put so much effort into these, you know!' I told her.

'Effort? I wasn't putting that much effort into making this.'

Tina and I started at her, round-eyed. 'Are you serious? I tried really hard making this and looking at yours, mine seems like a rubbish heap!'

'Haha, it's not THAT bad, is it?'

'Well, about the escape mission, the first step, stealing the money, you won't have to worry about it. My mum, Clementine and I do that.'

'Got it!' She grinned.
