It was big. No not big...ENORMOUS. But then again we are the smallest creatures know in our world. 4 legs, and it was hold 2 empty cages covered in blood. It came in and there was a poor fellow standing right up, crying. The Böse laughed.
"What's wrong little one? Scared? Don't worry it will be over soon."
It had a deep undertaker voice. It opened one of the cages it was holding and put the poor Tauc in there. Grabbed another and did the same, then he walked back through the metal doors and we heard the lock. Once it was gone everyone was back to screaming and complaining.
Mort stared at the wall for a while.
"What if...what if we tried?"
I was confused.
"What if we try...?"
"Escaping?"
"HAHAHAH!!! You said it yourself! There's is no escaping! This is our fate, set in stone, remember?!"
"There's a bone in here, maybe I can pick the lock."
"I'd like to see you try."
I couldn't see much because he had his back to me trying to open the lock.
"Mort, it's been an hour give it up!"
Just then I heard a loud clank. I thought it was coming back so I laid down. Until I herd Mort.
"Oh my gosh! I got it!! I got the lock! Leban I got the lock off!"
"What?! No way!! That's not possible!"
"Hold up I'm coming for you!"
We Taucs can jump some what high, but because we are small it's like a normal sized monster doing a little hop.
Mort leaped onto the platform I was set on. And began picking away. It had been about 5 minutes until we started to hear Böse coming back.
"Oh crap! Mort get back in your cage! Hurry up I can hear him!!"
"Wait!!"
"What?! What can you possibly wait for?!"
"I almost got it!"
Then I heard the door starting to open up.
"Mort get back in your damn cage!!"
Just as I said that a loud clank noise...he got the lock off my cage.
"Well what the hell do we do now?!! He's gonna open that door with you here and my lock not on!!"
Then Mort grabbed my hand threw me into the floor, and we hid in a decent sized crack in the wall. Then he walked in. At first he just walked right past me and Mort's abandoned cages and stopped at a cage filled with 3 young Zols. Zols are bigger than us, extremely slow because they are very fat.
"Time for dessert" he said evilly through his toothy grin. Then he walked back out. I couldn't believe it.
"Oh my gosh." Mort started "We did it!"
"Yeah we got out of the cages but what about this chamber?"
"We can...umm..."
"Hey..psst!"
Someone was calling us. We came out from the crack in the wall to the cage closest to us.
"Hey! I know how to get out! But help me and my buddy out! Please!!"
Mort and I looked at each other for a second.
"Okay fine." He said he picked their locks with ease having already done it twice.
"Thanks, names Slim. His is my little buddy Samat. He doesn't talk, I still don't know why."
"Well nice to meet you both, I'm Leban and this is Mort."
"Well I'm glad we got to say hello, now how the heck do we get out of here?"
"I'll show you."
