To Escape Our Demise

{| - 7 - |}

Hey guys! I've actually been drawing a lot so I drew a scene from one of the previous chapters!

Thank you Krazy-Demonheart for the OCs!
Also, so sorry this is a bit of a shorter chapter!! I'll try to make the next one longer!

{Shelby's POV}

That next morning I met the host, Red. He was friendly and understanding. He also explained a few more things about DID to me.

   Instead of scouting out the wall last night, we decided to plan out which way to leave instead. It was a tough decision. While it was faster to go out through the way I came in, it was much safer to go through the sewer, but much slower. I wouldn't get home for days, maybe weeks?

I had even brought up that we could work together to remove some of the rubble from the sewer underneath the metal door exit. They didn't buy it; that sucks because I could've secretly used my powers to move the rocks and debris.

I also met Magenta that day as well. Apparently Magenta was a female alter in the Color System. She seemed to have a sharp tongue and was very persuasive. She seemed to be a planner and organizer as well; she liked order.

Magenta and I were the ones that were bickering. While Barney sided with Green the other night, it seemed he was a little bit on the fence about both ideas.

But.. if they weren't going to side with me, I could do this myself. That was my original plan. To do this myself. I had the advantage yet the disadvantage though.

   Sure, I had powers and knew which way the facility was. However, I didn't know the city like they did. They also had money - whatever that was - to pay for things that I couldn't. Maybe I could steal their money?

   Oh come on Shelby.. don't be a bitch..

    I had to come to a decision. Now.

    I glaned over at Magenta and Barney and cleared my throat to get their attention. They were currently  looking over the map of the city layout; above ground and below ground into the sewer system. They looked over at me.

   Thinking over it, it would be better to go into the sewage system. It would be safer for us. They smiled at me.

   "I knew you'd come around." Magenta said and pursed their lips. I smiled half-heartedly. It would take much longer to get home, but at least I would make it in one piece.

   "What we can do," Barney started. "We can can go to the store, and with what little money we have left, we can buy Shelby a backpack, snacks, water bottle and some other necassary equipment that we can think of."

   "sounds like a plan," I said and hopped off the counter I was sitting on.

   "Shelby and I can go get a packpack from the store while you go to the dollar store across the street, Barney." Magenta said and rolled up the maps and took up the pens. "We can take these up to out room and once we buy our supplies we can come back here and get everything perfectly sorted out. Then, we go for it tonight. Tonight is the night after we get all this stuff done."
