A Million Pieces

Chapter 4

We run.
We mange to get past the couple of guards that are going to our cell. Unfortunately, we run into another couple of guards. They are covered in blood and gore. I hear Izzy gag.
"Come on!" I whisper loudly to Izzy while shaking James to keep him awake. Grabbing Izzy's hand, I run down the closest hallway, still hearing the guards footsteps close behind us.
"Shut the doors and gates!" One of them bellows.
"We can't!" Another voice comes " The bomb blew them off!"
Well, that confirms my suspicions. It was a bomb. In my brief moment of distraction, I mange to trip and fall over something on the ground. Taken by surprise, James ends up rolling off my shoulders and landing at Izzy's feet. My ankle blooms with pain. I wince.
"Izzy!" I scream, "Go! Take James and go!" She looked at me for a few seconds before turning away, only to turn back around and run to me.
"I can't leave you Zoë!" She sobs " I just can't!" It breaks my heart. No one should go through this, especially not at this age.
"Wait for me at the gate, then. Hide, and I will find you!" She looks at me again, and then takes off to the exit. I realise the guards haven't come yet. Good, i thought, we've thrown them off.
Then I realise the situation. Why they aren't here.
The prison is going to explode.
There is lots of gas fires in the guards dorms. And with all this fire it will spread quickly. I look down to my ankle to see what I caught it in. What the.........? I realise what it is. A guards body, killed by the explosion. I shook my head. Get up! I told myself. I pulled myself up, but was unable to put to much pressure on my right ankle. I used the wall to guide me, and thought all would be okay when I heard a rumble. The building is going to explode any minute and I am stuck here! I hear another crack, boom, roar! I scream to let Izzy know i am nearly out, though I hope she has hidden far away enough not to have heard the scream. Izzy, I think, run. I love you. My hand loses its grip on the wall and I fall to the floor, only to be greated by cold wet ground. I made it! I thought to myself.
"Izzy!" I scream, " Where are you?"
"Here!" Comes a faint reply. But i know she screamed to. I glance up and find that the barbed wire fence that had surrounded the prison had been completely wrecked. I reched out and grabbed a broken-off piece of the metal fence post to use as a crutch. I manged to pull myself up and hop about seven metres before I don't think I can go any further.
"Izzy!"
"Zoë!"
The voice comes from right behind me. I feel fingers curl in the marital of my shirt. An arm then slips under mine.
"Come on! We have to go!" Izzy says, panicked. She helps me get to the egde of the concrete area that surrouned the prison in a matter of seconds. The rumbles were getting louder.
Boom.
The whole prison exploded, blowing us off our feet.
