The Stockings and The Eyes

Chapter Eleven

  I felt someone stroking my hair as I started waking up. I was worried that it was Chance. I felt a wave of relief to find it was Azure as she laid in bed next to me.

"It's midnight," She said, "by now the camera's have no guard to watch them."

I couldn't remember much from before. I vaguely remembered the feeling of Azure twisting her finger around the waist of my pants. I still felt tired as I got up. I yawned and stretched. Azure grabbed me. She felt soft and warm. It took me a moment to notice the clothes on the floor.

"Umm...," I started to feel embarrassed, I looked under the comforter and quickly covered it again, "Ummm... did we do anything last night?"

"Nothing too exciting," Azure kissed my neck, "We kept it slow."

"Ummm... our clothes," I pulled the comforter to cover me a little more.

"Oh yeah. It got really hot remember?" She said, "We took them off to cool down. I may or may not have played with you a little more after that. You were so embarrassed."

I felt hot, I tried to get to my clothes with the comforter around me but it didn't really work. Azure on the other hand wasn't shy at all. She practically glowed in the moonlight. I watched in awe as she moved around. She hair looked like it had white and blue highlights in it. She went into Chance's room and came back out with a few things in her arms.

"We're leaving," She said as she put on a pair of white panties, "I've been planing as I let you rest."

"Oh yeah? What's the plan?" I asked.

"There's a weak point in the worker court yard fence. We can dig under it. And since it's just dirt no one will notice it was used to escape. Put these clothes on, we're picking up some of my friends on the way. Only I get to see you like this. Got it."

"Got it." I repeated.

I felt a little nervous as Azure grabbed one of the bags. It wasn't until I was putting on my boxers that I had noticed my leg didn't hurt. I looked at the bandages They were still on tight but there was no redness. I took a quick peak under. The cut wasn't bleeding. The stitches were still in place. It had started scabbing around the edges. Azure came over and re bandaged my leg. She then tossed me the shirt she made. I put it on with a pair of light blue pants. I figured since my leg didn't hurt to ditch the wheelchair. It wasn't until I tried to walk that I got a wave of pain. I ignored it. I had to be faster if I wanted to keep up with Azure and not weigh her down at the same time. I grabbed a pair of white cloth loafers from the closet in Chance's room. She was snoring. I'm I that tiring? I thought, Who cares so long as she's out.

We ran down the corridors until we reached the next building. We eventually Made it to a ground of gray doors. Each had a name tag bolted on them. They read, 'Charoline, Sasha, Arin.' Azure looked at me. She pulled a pin out of my hair. I hadn't even realized it was keeping the hair out of my face. She picked the locks on all three doors. I caught notice of the bars over the small windows in the doors. The fourth door caught my eye. There was a large red 'x' over the door. The paint had dripped before it dried. The name tag was covered in paint. It read 'Azure Joy'. I felt a chill up my spine. I stood on my toes to try to look through the small window. The most I saw were scratches and red marks in the walls before something grabbed me. I practically screamed, but my mouth was covered. It was Azure, who then shushed me.

"I'm peeling the skin off my face~" Azure sang, her voice soft and smooth, "Cause I really hate being safe~ The normals they make me afraid, the crazies they make me feel sane~"

"Azure," I hear a sly voice say, "So nice of you to help, but who is that?"

"It's Noah isn't it?"Another voice said, "Wasn't that the name of the one you want to save?"

"She's cute," A third voice said, "Your little girlfriend, Noah."

"He's with me," Azure said as she grabbed my hand, "But don't you even think of hurting him."

"That's too bad," The sly voice belonged to a tall and skinny girl, She came out from the 'Caroline' door, "I wanted to see him scared. It would have been so much fun."

I held onto the back of Azure's shirt. Caroline reminded me of a spider, she made me nervous.

"So that's how it'll be," The second voice came from the 'Arin' room, "You're the Alpha my dear Azure."

Arin was also tall, but shorter than Caroline. He bowed with one arm out.

"I brought what you asked," The third voice said from the 'Sasha' door, "A hand stitched backpack."

Sasha had a smile on her face. Her eyes were large and wide, like an owl's. She had a backpack the was covered in lots of colors and stitches. Azure grabbed it and guided us to another building. It had an iron door. She used the same pin to pick the lock and open the door. She came back out with her stockings on and the backpack was full. Sticking out of the backpack was a metal pole. She put the pin back in my hair and we ran to the worker courtyard. Everyone, but Arin, began digging. Arin was our look out, He held the metal pole and looked ready to strike. We began to hear a few noises from the plains ahead. The hole reached to about my elbow, Azure had me go through first. I barely fit and started digging on the other side. Azure came through next, then Caroline, Sasha, and Arin. I slipped my arm though to pull the dirt from the side we came from. Eventually we made it look like nothing had happened. We crawled through the tall grass. There was a cliff a head. As soon as we got past it there was a forest that would make made hiding easier. We had just reached the edge of the cliff when we noticed the lights were being turned back on. Azure had us walk close to the edge of the cliff. I looked up. The cliff was so steep that it looked like the top of the cliff was going to fall on top of us.

We walked along the edges until we reached the woods. There the ground became covered in short grass and vines. There were leaves everywhere. We walked along carefully. We didn't stop for a while, the stars had even begun to fade. I started to yawn more suddenly now. I leg hurt so much it was practically numb of any other feeling. I felt exhausted and we hadn't done much other than run, crawl, hide, and dig. I had done more than this with Azure before. So why was I so tired? Azure had us stop at a huge tree we climbed it so we were collected in the center of the tree. It had more space than I expected. Caroline, Arin, and Sasha each took a branch of their own. Azure had me lay with her. She had me rest my head on her chest. I feel asleep almost instantly.
