Now we have almost caught up. Yesterday morning was when I set off to escape. I moved as silently as I could with all of the stuff I was carrying that i would need for after I escaped. I had already started to get rid of my shakiness from realizing that i was a caged animal but I still wasn't my usual self. I did not enjoy the hike like the first one but it didn't scare the shit out of me like the second one. I made it to the fence and skirted around out of sight looking for a nice spot to make my escape. And what i found was even more than I had hoped for.
There was a hole in the fence. Not just a few links missing but an entire section. There were two four wheelers sitting about 20 feet inside the fence and there were tire tracks all around. The guards must have gotten bored and decided to bring a little entertainment to work with them. I hid in a bush and stayed there planning for a few minutes. There was no cover until about 30 feet behind the fence and I was about 25 feet away from the fence. Also no cover in between me and the fence. There was no way for me to go un noticed. My stuff would make too much noise when I ran for them not to hear and I would stick out like a sore thumb as soon as I left cover. I just had to hope that all the guards were in their towers and wouldn't be able to aim and shoot at me while I was running. If they were good enough shots it wasnt impossible but I doubted any of them would be able to pull it off if I surprised them.
I made my move. I sprinted out of my cover and ran as fast as I could towards the fence. I made it all of 5 feet before the guard in the tower nearest to me saw me and pulled a gun. Fucking hell I thought to myself. Just what I needed. I kept running and was through the fence. But that was when my plan went to hell.
The moment the two guards tackle me from the side was when I realized I had made my mistake. There was a guard in the tower next to me. But what about the other ones? These two hadn't pulled down the fence. This was a gate. All they had done was opened it. These two used the four wheelers as transportation and had decided to have some fun inside the fence while they were on break. And that break hadnt ended yet. They were standing behind the tower talking when they heard me running for the gate. Then they saw me and tackled me.
Just another day at work for them i guess. But unfortunately for these two guys I was desperate to get out. I punched the bigger one in the throat and he rolled off of me gagging. Then I kneed the other one in the balls. I saw him wince in pain but it didn't stop him. He punched me in the face making me see stars. "Well well well", he said. "We got a feisty little girl right here don't we?" He got off of me thinking I was knocked out and I kicked him in the knee, breaking it and making him fall over. He screamed in pain and I got up. "Well well well," I said. "Looks like we have an over confident bitch who doesn't realize that little girls can kick his ass."
I wanted to stay and gloat but I knew it wouldn't be long before the guard in the tower shot me in the face. I ran into the forest before I realized I had left all of my stuff back there. Oh well I thought to myself. Only a weeks worth of food clothes and water right? I would do without.
I slowed to a jog, and then a walk. But about half an hour later I heard them again. Behind me I heard heavy foot steps and barking. The chase was on again.
