Female Warrior [COMPLETED]

Chapter 4

Ava: I'm waiting in Lucas's room until there's a knock on the door. "Coming." I open it up and see it's Lucas himself and that he's all beaten up. I quickly pull him in and hug him tightly. "My poor baby! What happened to you?" I say sounding like a concerned parent.

Lucas: "Atlas happened."

Ava: "Did he beat you up because you asked for the keys? Oh, I am going to give him a piece of my mind!"

Lucas: "I would love to tell you, but you're kind of hugging me a little too tightly and I'm starting to lose oxygen."

Ava: "Oh...sorry." I stop hugging Lucas and I help him to his bed.

Lucas: "Alright first off, I walked around trying to find where he was and of course he was in the training room with about 30 other guys. He was fighting a guy for some unknown reason, I guess to show that he's the alpha or something?"

Ava: "Alpha? What is he a werewolf?"

Lucas: "That's what I was thinking! So I pushed by everyone and I went to the center and told him that I needed the keys because I wanted to check that nothing was missing from the Weaponry Room."

Ava: "Did he believe you?"

Lucas: "Of course he did. So then he was like I have to fight him for the keys, and if I win I get them and if I lose then I don't."

Ava: "Guessing you lost..."

Lucas: "Well...yeah I did. But since I lasted longer than anyone else whoever went up against him." I dig in my pocket and show her the keys. "He just gave them to me anyway. Oh yeah, and I also throat punched him."

Ava: I gasp when I see the keys. "You are so lucky...I would've loved to punch him in the throat. But I'm honestly so proud and happy that you're not dead and that you got the keys." I reach over to grab the keys until Lucas pulls them back away from me.

Lucas: "Woah, woah, woah there Missy. It's time for you to start doing some talking."

Ava: "Well alright then, ask away."

Lucas: "If you want to make a change so badly, how come you won't start in here first?"

Ava: "Trust me I've thought about it, but everyone around here is either brainwashed or too afraid of dying. I know I am. Even if I tried to start a resistance team, I feel like someone would betray us and rat us out. Plus if I end this all out there then a domino effect will happen and eventually, this place will start falling apart."

Lucas: "That would be nice to see...everyone running around and losing their shit." I chuckle "But how are you going to escape?"

Ava: "Well I know it's not going to be easy. I'm going to have to get through like 6 guards to get to that sealed door. But with your help and hopefully a distraction I can just sneak by everyone and get out peacefully without a fight. But if I do get out somehow then I won't know where to go from there. I'm gonna have to improvise."

Lucas: "Hmm. Well, what if the air is toxic, or there's mutants or aliens. Then what?"

Ava: "Then...I'll just have to survive."

Lucas: "Hmm. Wise words. Here." I toss the keys to Ava and she catches them. "When do you plan on escaping?"

Ava: "Tonight..."

Lucas: "Well then, I guess we better head down to the Weaponry Room."
