Dream Walkers

Escape

'Ooof.' I wheezed as i took a blow to my stomach. My eyes blurred for a few seconds then i remembered where i was.

'Did you really think you could get away just by journeying into the dream verse momentarily? You. An amateur with a few days experience against the mighty Ajax? ' Cloak dude asked irritated.

'Oh. So that's what they call you. So what's your name? Or is it really Mr chubby? '

'Silence. ' Ajax screamed as he dealt me another blow.

'Men like you are destined to die at the hands of men like me. If you refuse to comply, measures will be taken,' Ajax somewhat roared five inches from my face.

I spat in his face.

'Very well. Bring me the girl', he instructed Meg and Mr Chubby.

'How you would feel Dan, knowing you caused the death of your dear friend? I showed you mercy and grace once. I won't do so again. '

Just then, the sound of metals pierced the air.

Ajax sighed and gave me a death glare. 'If this is one of your games, you're screwed.' He took something off the desk and disappeared from sight.

'Alright, nows our chance.' Isabel said as she drew a small knife from her boot and began loosening our chains.
We moved the wagon behind us as we tried to wake our folks. They didn't budge so we decided we would have to carry them out.
Then there was the sound of shattering glass and footsteps.

'Quick. Back in position. They're coming.' I said, pretending to be chained once again.

After what seemed like hours, ajax meg and Mr chubby were back in sight. A blow landed across my face, then meg and Mr chubby pulverized Phil and Isabel.

'We underestimated you. So... You freed the girl at your expense. What a selfless action.' He mocked.' Your friend escaped. You, I'm afraid, wouldn't be so lucky. Join us or perish.'

'Go to hell', Phil spat.

'Oh definitely, but you'll get there first.' He drew a sword and lunged at Phil, aiming to kill. Isabel quickly drew her tiny blade and shielded Phil from the strike, giving him time to deal ajax a disarming blow to the face. He dropped his sword which Isabel grabbed. She tossed me her knife and we braced for battle. Meg leapt forward at Isabel, and they tackled themselves to the ground. I noticed Essy peeking in the corner.

'Grab the wagon and get out.' I screamed. Essy and Phil were quick to respond. Now it was me against ajax and chubby. Mr Chubby ran towards me, and that was when it happened. I was suddenly instinctive in battle, although I had never fought before. As he ran towards me, I rolled over him to cut him slightly on his back, dodging blows from Ajax, and dealing mine, I held my breath, feeling like I had never felt before. With both of them down, I ran to help Isabel with Meg, but apparently I wasn't needed. Rage had taken over Isabel as she tore at meg like an animal on rampage. They began retreating to the shadows and that was our cue to leave.

'Psst. Over here.' Essy whispered as she directed us out. We ran as fast as we could till Essy stopped me.

'There's something we have to get.' She said, out of breath.

'What's that? '

'Come. '

'I hope you know where you're going. '

'Don't you trust me?'

'Yes, but nows definitely not the time to stroll. '

'Ugh... There.' She pointed at a room. 'Behind the cabinet,... look for a crack,... take what's inside.' She said exasperated.

I rushed in and moved the cabinet. Sure enough there was a crack, and something inside.

'Don't let them get away!!!!' I heard ajax scream from a distance. I tucked the scroll under my arm, helped Essy up and we ran like hell. Phil had already pulled the car up front when we got there. We jumped in and took off, Phil's foot sleeping on the gas pedal.

I was confused. ..... .....

'Where are our mothers? '

Phil looked at Isabel, then at me and Essy in the back seat.

'In the trunk', he muttered.

'How could you toss my mum into the trunk???' I was pissed.

'Before you judge me, there was no way six of us would fit into this car, not in their condition anyways. Besides, my mums there too. '

He was right tho.

'I'm sorry'. I said, feeling really self centred.

'Its alright bro. We've been through a lot for one night. Where to?'

'Definitely not any of your houses', Isabel looked at all three of us, nullifying argument.

'Where do you have in mind?' Essy said defeated.

'My get away spot. Its not comfy, but it'll do for the night. '

'Ookay, so where is that? I can't keep driving aimlessly. '

'Slow down and go into the forest. '

'Are you crazy?' Essy asked, really meaning it.

'Right now, we have no choice. '
