Fight To Live

(OLD) Chapter 19: Death (OLD)

Shit is gonna go down this chapter. I hope you're all ready.

Jaylen's POV

"Hey! Get up! It's time to take the prisoners their breakfast! Your cart is ready to take!" Someone shouted in my ear, I shot awake and saw the patrol that had beat me up last night standing above me.

"Come on you little shit! Move faster!" He shouted as he kicked me in the side, right in the ribs.

I yelped in pain and jumped up off my sleeping bag, my face still throbbed with pain, but not as bad as it had been.

I practically ran out of my room and grabbed the cart, then ran to the room where Carl and the others were being held.

I hope they aren't mad at me for not getting the weapons...

Ethan's POV

I opened my eyes, I guess at some point both Carl and I had fallen asleep. I looked next to me and saw Carl, still sleeping, laying there. I smiled when I saw him, then it hit me that we were still stuck in this room

"Ethan, when did you get caught? Where's Cain?" Cindy asked.

I looked over and saw her cleaning the bullet wounds in Alex's leg.

"I got thrown in here last night. Cain and I had tried to sneak in to free you guys. He's still out there, he was in a closet hiding when I got caught." I explained as I sat up.

"Hopefully he can get out. You did tell him to get out right, not to try to save us?" She asked.

"Yes. I told him if I got caught he needed to get out and go to the truck. We parked it in a different place so I'll have to lead you there when we escape." I answered.

She nodded before going back to what she was doing. Soon after, other people started to wake up. After everyone was up I once again explained what had happened last night. Soon after I was finished the lock clicked and the door swung open. An African American boy, who had a large bruise formed on his cheek, walked in pulling a cart behind him. The door slammed shut and locked again.

I guess this is Jaylen.

"Oh my god... what happened to you?" Carl asked as he stood up and walked over to the kid.

"I tried to get to the armory... got caught... they beat me up... I wasn't able to get you guys the weapons. I'm sorry." He said as he looked down at the ground.

"Kid, you don't have to apologize. It's not a problem. We'll just have to fight our way out without them." Brandon said as he stood up.

"We're gonna do this now. While they're not expecting it. We're breaking out. You can still come with us Jaylen." Carl said as he stood up as well.

Everyone except for Alex stood up and got ready.

"Guys... you have to leave me. I'll only drag you down and get you all caught or killed." Alex said.

"That's not happening. We aren't leaving you behind." Cindy said instantly.

"You don't have a choice. Maybe you can come back for me some other day, but if you're gonna get out alive you have to leave me." He said as he sat up in the corner.
