Chapter Five-
"Escape"
___
I'm still trapped here, only they've advised me to wait in this empty room. It seems quite bland, judging the quiet aura drifting around here. "What's even happening?" I reminisce, shifting my body lower. I can't seem to grasp anything around me, I feel out of this world.
I chuckle, "I'm not going crazy, am I?" I start to put my thoughts together, I can get out of here. I simply need to... "Ah..!"
That's it! I thrive to discover my way out of here. An over-sized vent sits above to my right, I look over and grin. I kneel before the ground, gently extract my earrings and crawl near the vent. I point the bolt from one of my earrings and place its head towards the screw. Forcing it against the screw and twist. I proceed to unscrew the bolts and my expression gradually intensifies.
I had learnt this from aunt Magnolia, she schooled me for most of my years as for security emergencies. Unlike my elder sister, Edith, I was home-schooled. She has always been the more adored and prized one, and I guess better in general. I have always been deemed as "second place" next to her. I'm nothing but a side character in a movie. But stating this would be so erratic since, the only one who has ever loved me is, Edith. And I genuinely don't know what I would've been if she wasn't there. And if there's a reason I'm going back there, its that I wanna see her again, I wouldn't do it for anyone else.
I hastily climb with the strength of both my arms and tailor myself right in. I take a deep breath and with just that I begin squirming like a toddler. "This is smaller than I expected" I begin to make out a two-way path, and just before I could reach it, I had recalled one of the voices through the paths. I didn't know which one. I picked the one to my left, clenching my teeth. I went for it.
My palms are starting to become frail, my strength is diminishing. I'm not sure if I can stay calm. Furthermore, my concentration is starting to demolish. I can't keep up with my breathing, I'm dropping deeper and deeper into this never-ending crisis. I let myself think otherwise until my thoughts descend into a hole. No more of this. I can escape solely if I allow myself, and I don't need these concepts restraining me from freedom.
Gradually but decisively, I can tell... It's finally ended.
My hair's all over the place, and I can't tell if I'm still alive. I'm not certain what time it is either. All I can make out is a faint light at the edge. I'm right around the corner, I think. And with my bruised knees, I take my last few trails. With no energy left, I grab my right forearm and jam the bars with barely any strength left in my body. It'd be considered lying if I said I wasn't sweating erratically. Indeed, I was a wreck.
I strained once more.
"AHHH--" Poof! The sound as if a damsel in distress had been relieved by her prince charming-Oh, wait no, that was merely some poor guy with his balls deprived of life. ...My bad.
"Uhh- I- I'm deeply sorry..."
He utters with impeccable pain. ...He kind of... That boy, with Prince Charming.
"Who the-"
