HANZA'S POV (3 days later)
The king had still gotten nothing out of me, even when he slowly cut from my ear closer and closer to my eye. I have new cuts on my hands now but so far the ear to eye slice is the only time he's touched my face.
I heard a slight knock on the wall from Nathan's cell next to me, signalling that in a couple minutes the plan would go to action.
The three guards outside my door started to talk about what lunch would be like. I slowly creeped up and stole the sword from an clueless guard in front of me, I stared at the dark blue blade when I heard a bell go off. I hid behind the door and watched the three guards sprint away.
In one quick slice I unhinged the door from its place and it fell to the ground. At the same time four other doors fell open. I creeped out and saw the hall completely empty.
Nathan urged me forward and I placed the door to its place, following him to the exit.
Sam handed me her blade. "I'm useless with it. It would be better with you." She whispered.
"Nathan will fight with you, the three of us will get the tanks and open the doors." Claudia revised and I nodded. As we ran down the hall.
The new cut along my collarbone stung, by I showed no sign of pain.
"Whatever happens here, if one falls... Keep going." I whispered. All of us stayed silent and I gave the signal that we were nearing the doors, being escorted to a room on the other side if the compound to be tortured has it's perks.
I pulled my hood around my waist and peeked around the corner. 12 squid men and women stood attention at the door, there eyes glazed over a and focused on nothing except defending those doors.
"12 guards. Squid men. Claudia, you ready with the distraction?" I asked. She nodded.
"Harrison, you got the transmitter?" He nodded and held up the black piece of technology. He would turn off all communication and technology in a chunks radius, no alarms for a long way.
"Go."
Harrison flicked the switch and Claudia creeped out, acting like she had no idea they were there. They were thrown of guard and started towards her.
Sam and Harrison slipped behind them without them noticing, leading a clear path for the tanks. So far so good...
Just before they could reach Claudia, I jumped out and sliced two squid men at once, charging and before I knew it I was standing on top of a pile of ink sacks.
I started for the door when an alarm rang throughout the compound.
"They found our cells!" I whisper yelled and urged them to hurry.
A crowd of squids where marching towards us, leading them was the king himself.
"Hurry!" Nathan yelled, they had already found us, so why be quiet?
Sam attached our tanks first and clicked the mask I to place before stepping back and equipping her spacesuit to close it off.
I punched the door button and a new room appeared, it would make sure no water got in the compound. We ran in and pushed he other button, the squids started running but the doors closed before their floppy legs could get close.
Everyone cheered, except me. I cocked an eyebrow when Claudia placed a kiss on Nathan's cheek.
"All right love birds." I chuckled. "Get ready to swim."
"That's the first time I heard you laugh." Sam giggled.
Water rushed through the doors and I sprang my legs up and down, turning the oxygen on and pushing myself upward, trying to control my fear. Ocean...
"There's a communicating thing on this?" Claudia asked.
"Well obviously there is if I can hear you." Nathan said in a 'duh' tone.
"If we can hear you they can probably hear you. So hush." I ordered, maybe I haves changed since I was captured... Would Jerome still like me with all these scars?
"And there's the normal Hannah again." I could hear the smirk in Harrison's voice.
"Sush."
"Fine, geez." He laughed. "I left the transmitter back there so the tech won't work for another hour or so.
They helped me get over some ocean jitters but I couldn't help think a squid would pop out and drag us back under. I shuddered at the thought.
"So where are we going. You know... After this?" Sam asked.
"Sky army base." I stated, no hesitation. "No doubt the squid will follow us."
I cold feeling rushed down my spine and then a fiery pain spread throughout my body.
"Ah!" I yelped, feeling at least ten slimy tenticals wrap around my body.
"Hannah!" Harrison yelled, before he too was captured.
"Go! Save yourselves!" I shouted. My eyes locked onto Sam's, and for a split second I thought she read my mind, because she grabbed a screaming Claudia and swam upwards.
Nathan followed suit and I felt myself being dragged back down.
"Be safe..." I whispered, watching the squids fall back and not try to attack them. "Get to Sky and tell him everything..."
Then we were dragged back down to my place of torture.
