The Escape

Chapter One

My hands were tied together with rope. I kept fading in and out of consciousness for what felt like hours. Every once in awhile I would catch glimpses inside the van. I knew Elena was with me. I could almost sense how terrified she was.

I took one of her hands and told her in Morse code, "Everything is going to be okay." I hope.

Finally, the van came to a stop. Elena asks me, "Taylor are you with me?"

"Somewhat," I replied. "These drugs are hardcore."

She says to me, "You'll be okay once they wear off."

Just that we both hear the van doors open, I then heard a familiar voice, "What have you brought me today boys?"

One of them grabs me by the back of the neck as the other one says, "Elena Kane from division 3."

Kyle! My blood was boiling at the very sound of his voice. "Excellent!" Kyle replied. "The other sister." He then asks demandingly, "Now."

"Who is this one?"

My cover was then removed off of my head, "Taylor LePree of division 13. She put up one hell of a fight. Killed three of my best guys."

"Three of your men?" Kyle asked.

I hissed at him, "Don't worry, I have a special place for you."

"Is that a threat?"

I told him, "It's a promise."

Kyle slaps me hard across the face. He then says, "Take them to my father!"

Being dragged away by guards I had somewhat of a smirk on my face. He had revealed his apparent weakness. His anger.

Looking around the area, we saw people of all ages being held captive. Some of their faces, you could see the pain and the fear they've tried to bury. Others, you can see that there is still some fighting burning inside them. It was almost like a candle left burning in the window. That candle is what they need to survive this hell.

Elena whispers to me, "How old do you think they are?"

"I don't know," I whispered back. "Could be anywhere from fifteen to thirty years old by my guess."

The next thing we heard was a loud bang against the bars of a cell. Followed by a girl screaming, "Elena!"

Elena then quickly starts whipping herself around for whoever said her name. When we got halfway down the hall, Elena quickly turns around to find her sister. I could see that she was relieved to see that her sister was still alive, but then Elena also realizes that with them both here their in even greater danger. Elena shouts up to Amara, "Amara! Amara, are you okay!"

Amara sighs with relief as she answers, "I'm fine!"

One of the guards holding Elena pulls out a tazer and touches it to her right hip. Elena growls from the pain as we approached an office door. Both of us were forced to sit down in brown leather chairs. I tried getting up and bolting out of the room, but unfortunately one of the guards slams me back down in the chair. I kicked him hard in the knee, causing him to fall down.

"You little brat!" He snarled.

He then tries to go for his knife when a man in a business suit entered the room and snaps at him, "Dorian!" Dorian quickly limps to attention as the man in the suit tells him, "That's enough!"

Dorian then says, "Sorry Mr. Patterson."

Patterson? Mr. Patterson then tells both guards, "Leave."
