My eyes were slow to open, I felt warm. Too warm. My eyes shot open as I suddenly felt burning in my stomach. With a groan I remember last afternoons events. Ugh. My eyes take in a grey stone floor with light grey walls. I look around, I see my unconscious classmates. Except for my teacher. All of the girls are boxed in a tight little room while the boys are no where to be seen.
I hear a creak as the door swings open, quickly I lay back down and feign sleep. Through squinted eyes I see two fuzzy outlines of people, they don't look very threatening. Both are wearing masks, but only one is carrying a gun. Bingo. They left the door propped open so they won't get locked in.
Slowly I plan an escape plan. I would slowly creep closer to the door, then I would bolt out of this hell hole.
I read in a book that if you run from a bounty situation, then they won't shoot you.
I start to slowly roll over. The people are distracted by looking around at their catches. I finally reach near the door. Now the tricky part, to get out. I take a deep breath.
And... Go! I spring up and grab the door. I race down hallway, I don't care where I'm going. As long as its out. Like i expectedI hear the two yelling for back up. Almost immediately I can feel the vibrations to feet thundering behind me. I turn corners and tumble down stairs. I can't seem to loose them, I fall into an elevator. Franticly I press and jab random buttons. Just as the doors start to close, I see the men turn the corner. They spot me, I try to cover my face before they can recognize me. I'm sure they know what I look like now.
