Facing Fears

Chapter 9: The Great Escape

The figure stood there as I slowly crept my face around the corner but instead of seeing a huge figure as I expected, I saw a very very small puppy shape instead. "G-Guys?" I look and tries to stay quiet as I suspect its one of Marshall's plans to get us into more trouble and pain as he slowly comes down the steps and sniffs the floor as he smells my scent. He runs swiftly up to me. "Chase??" I yelped and kicked him as he flew across the room he yelled and said. "I'm not an enemy! I'm a friend." He scurried next to us as I slowly held my breath holding poor rocky in my arms. "Don't hurt him" I said. "I would never hurt someone who saved my life" said the young pup.

Moments later

"So how do you know my name?" I said watching him help clean up Rocky a bit. "Rocky told me when he saved me" he said quietly. "The names Tiny" he squeaked as I got up and looked at him. "Yeah that makes a lot of sense." I said as he pulls off a frowny face. I notice Rocky starts breathing as I let out a sigh of relief. "Thank god he's okay" I said giving Rocky's nose a kiss. "But how are we gonna escape?" I said worried, "we leave with these." He pulls on key and shows it to me.

"The Keys to the cell!" I yelped in excitement as he tried to shut me up. "Yes it's the keys but you need to be quiet" he said firmly as he went to the door and pressed the key into the lock hole and opens the cell as I hear a creaking noise from the cell opening. I walk out as I hold Rocky on my back and trying to carry him out of this horrific place. "We need to hurry" Tiny said as we scurried off up the stairwell and behind a wooden door that showed the figures of that catcher and Marshall.

"Haha! We got those idiots right where we want them. Now Chase will finally love me and only me! And I'll get my revenge on that runt of a pup once and for all!" Marshall laughed evilly making Tiny scared a bit as we tried to past them through the shadows. We tip toed across the floor and watched out for any creaks that can make sounds.

"Go check if their okay! I want them alive before I end them!" Marshall demanded the catcher as he went down the long stair well. "We have to hurry before they notice we're gone" Tiny whispered to me as we started to scurry off faster out the door until I hit a crack and it made a large screech sound.

"What was that!?" Marshall screamed as Tiny yelled out "RUN!" We all ran as fast as we could out the entrance and Marshall screaming at the catcher to race after them. "AFTER THEM! Before they escape!!" Marshall ordered running after them as well. Tiny had to think as fast as he could and he screamed to me "Split up!" I didn't want to leave Tiny by himself if he gets caught they'll execute him. But too much was on my mind I quickly made a right as he turned a left as I watch him leave I couldn't speak but in my mind one sentence came to mind.

"Stay Safe Tiny.."
