The Hunted

Chapter: 29

*Nicklaus POV*

Crawling on our stomachs, military's style, we reached the top of the hill that overlooked the prison.

"Claire, I still can't believe it's her."

My comrade from the future mumbled under his breath.

"What will she say when she sees me, she's gonna butcher me..."

He whispered frantically.

I rolled my eyes, enough already! All I could think about it's getting faith out before it's to late

"There are 2 guards covering the front entrance. We should have no troubled getting into the prison" I said

He nodded and we slowly started heading down towards the back wall of the prison

Make sure no one was looking

I took a small pouch out of my satchel that was slung over my shoulder, and I dipped my finger into the blue powder that was contained within the small leather pouch.

I traced the wall in a large, door like shape and soon the powder began to do it's work and created a door .

"Wow this stuff could really come in handy back home!" Lex said in amazement.

I continued walking . he shortly followed. we passed a few small rooms until we heard the movement of the guards ahead. They were quickly coming around the corner

The sound of there metal armor clanking echoed throughout the halls

Lex quickly grabbed the satchel off of my shoulder and started searching it . Soon he pulled out a small amount of white powder that had a sparkling glow to it. Before I could say anything he yelled

"Hey tin heads over here!"

Has he gone mad?

Soon they were headed straight for us and he rapidly put the powder close to his mouth and took a deep breath then blew. As soon as the powder hit the guards they were out cold

Now that could really come in handy

"Nothing personal guys" he said before we started walking again

I saw one guard was still barely conscious, I walked over to him and stood over his body.

"You!"

I yelled at the dazed man.

"Where are the witches being held?"

The mans face bore a look of sheer terror.

"Third... Third cell down the hall on the right."

Before I could even look up at lex he had already started running and I wasted no time in doing the same ..

He was ahead of me and he finally reached the sell and stopped dead in his tracks

"What's wrong" I asked approaching the sell.

Then my heart must have literally stopped

The door was wide open and there was no one in side

I could here the crowds cheer from out side.

I walked up to the only cell window and I was horrified to see 3 women being lead to a pyre.
