The Hybrid in Slender Woods

Prolog: The Escape

Lillian's POV:

I crept along thecold stone wall as silent as a mouse, walking past others who watched in theircells. Hearing a noise I quickly hid in a darkened Corner, careful not tobreathe too loudly. I waited patiently as a guard walked past. I was gonna moveon until I saw two big rings of thousands of keys for other cells. I grinned asI moved behind the guard like a shadow, getting ready to go for the kill. Andlike a spider, I quickly stood up and snapped his neck. I grabbed the keys andgrabbed the body, putting him in one of the barrels by the wall. I grabbed hisphone that fell out of his pocket and looked at the time. 11:14PM. 3...2...1...Igrinned as I heard a clicking noise. I have 5 minutes. I turned to all thecells where everyone was looking at me and raised the keys in the air, a signthat our plan has worked. A bunch of cheers went off. "Now, my brothersand sisters from many, you shall have the freedom you deserve!" Morecheers went off as I unlocked one cell, handing a bunch of keys that other willhand out to help other and repeating the action. "No longer shallwe stay under the control of humans! No longer shall we loseour freedom! No longer, shall we stay as a joke! My friends. Mypack. My family. You. Shall. Be free!" I yelled as they allcheered. I stomped once with my right leg and hit my left arm across my chest.Like an army, they repeat the action, showing me I am the alpha. I checked thetime 3 minutes. Perfect. "Most of them are all in one room. The conferenceroom. But there are still guards. We have three minutes before they leave. Theyalways leave their weapons outside the conference rooms. So have your ownlittle blood bath. Be smart, be quick and Don't die. Thisis the beginning of our new life. And Ace!" I somewhat yelled. Ace, mybest friend and also a phoenix hybrid, walked up. "Take a couple peoplewith you and get the children out of here." He nodded, a look ofdetermination on his face. "Yes, Alpha." "Good. Let's go!"And with that everyone cheered and ran straight for the conference room, whileothers went to go find the exit. I grinned as I ran towards the closest exit,killing a few people who stood in my way. It's been at least five minutes sincewe left for battle and I just ran out the exit, panting and covered in blood. Istumbled a bit, the foreign feeling of the cold air of the dark cling to myskin. I ran straight for the forest ahead that just so happened to bethere. Ace, are the children ok? 'Yes Alpha, theyare-' He was suddenly interrupted when the building explodedbehind me, causing my body to go flying through the air. The last thing Iremember before I hit the ground, was all the pain I felt, before everythingwent black.
